I scrapped this week

I am so fortunate to be a creative team member over at ScrapMatters.  It’s truthfully a blessing to work with these fantastic designers and share their work with you through my scrap pages.

This first page I did is one of my new favorites.  I used a P365 idea to create a Disney page featuring shots from our Anniversary trip over Christmas 2009.  The page features shots I haven’t scrapped on their own page yet and may not be “page worthy” but they are still important memories.

Here’s the awesome kit I used, called “a photo a day” by Plum Dumpling Designs

 Another team I am on is Britt-ish Designs… Britt is really awesome and her kits are exactly my style.  They are creatively inspired by Disney yet allow you the flexibility to scrap anything with it.  You’ll also notice by building your digital stash with her kits, you get a lot of kits that blend well together.  It really increases your ability to produce high quality pages.

This week Britt has some really versatile tabbed alphas.  I used the pink tabs to make this page from when my niece was much littler.  I used a variety of kits from Britt’s work but my main kit was “Sweet As Can Be”.

 Last but definitely not least, I created a page for Christopher.  I used a new kit by Amy Stoffel.  I’ve been on Amy’s creative team for quite a while, almost a year I think now.  Amy’s designs are gorgeous, but not only that, Amy’s a really fun person.  She has a great personality and I think that shows in her work making it really stand out.

I also used this really fun alpha by Krisi’s Kreations.  She is a part of the ScrapMatters team and I love her work.  This alpha is one of my favorites.  You can pretty much use it on anything hence the title the “Everyday Metal Alpha”.  If you participated in my recent Speed Scrap, you got this for FREE as a prize!

There’s still time…Grab the bags!

Time is running low to grab the iNSD Grab Bags over at Scrap Matters… Take some time and go check it out… Here’s a couple of my favorites…  This first one is by Britt-ish Designs.  I just picked it up today so I am still working on a layout and I LOVE how it’s coming out.  The colors are bright and work great for Disney pictures.

This great grab bag is by Jennifer Barrette… It is different than what I would normally pick out in a store which is funny b/c I have such a wide variety of what I like in scrapping.  I am SO glad I grabbed it… I loved everything about it.

I did this page with her GB and it’s one of my favorites!!  That’s my cutie patootie niece, Hannah, who’s 2 and a half!

I also did this layout of my cat, Evie, sitting in the window… The colors were so perfect… Again, LOVED everything in this bag, it’s so worth grabbing!  Do it now!!  LOL!

That’s all for today, I’ll be back soon, I’m working on some designing stuff to offer you as freebies, if anyone would like a few freebies that is… *wink…

Farmer’s Market $1 Sales at Scrap Orchard!

Wow, it’s the weekend for scrapping!  There’s some fantastic sales happening including Scrap Orchard’s Farmers Market!!!

Be sure you stop by and take a peek at Amanda Heimann’s shop… Here’s some of what she has for just $1.00!

Here’s a layout I did with “Splittin’ Seeds” by Amanda Heimann Designs.  You can get this FUN summer watermelon themed mini kit for A BUCK!  How cool is that?!

Let’s not forget the other great designers at Scrap Orchard, like LCC by Amy Stoffel… She has a bright fun kit out this week called “To The Moon”… It’s full of bright fun colors that can adapt to any page… and I particularly LOVE the word art!

I used this kit to create another fav page of mine… This is my niece who’s 2 and a half years old.  My mom asked me to try to fix the shine on her face so I flipped it to a sepia/black/white coloring, and then my mom said, “but I want to see her blue eyes”…. so I came up with this… I think it looks kinda cool, don’t you?

Well, there’s a lot more going on this weekend… you can check THIS THREAD to see the iNDS scrapping events over at Scrap Orchard and be sure and HOP ON THE Scrap Matters BLOG TRAIN beginning at 8:00 am central time TOMORROW MORNING…. There are enough freebies to make your mouth water… I’ll have mine up too!  See you soon!

Guest time for me at Scrap Matters!

Well, it’s HERE!  My guest month at the Scrap Matters shop!  I am so thrilled that I got picked, I’ve tried out a couple of times.  I love the site, it’s my top store and I shop there ALL the time.  Sometimes I don’t even tell my husband, hee hee!  Shhhhhh…

So I wanted to share the new releases that I LOVE and got to work with so far.  Guess what though!  This does not even include my first assigned designer which I am THRILLED to say is Britt-ish Designs.  I’ll have more on her newest kit after the baseball game today.

So here it is… First, check out Forest Friends and the Mini Kit Add-on just for Easter!  It’s by Erica Zane.  She’s one of those designers who you see and haven’t worked with her stuff, then you try it ONCE and you are forever a fan.  So… try it once!

Well, I was also SO HAPPY to see this kit come up!  I am a baseball fan of our local college team, the Arkansas Razorbacks.  We are very fortunate to have season tickets in the 2nd row behind the home dugout on the 3rd baseline.  They are fantastic seats and we have an awesome view and some FUN people sitting in front of us for the 2nd year in a row.  WE LOVE IT!

For me, I used Batter Up (the main kit), it was perfect because our team colors are RED/WHITE (GO HOGS!).  Chelle’s Creations designed this and she thought of EVERYTHING.  She made several mini kits in a variety of great colors just for your team’s colors.  Do you have girls?  Like softball?  She thought of that too.  Her softball kit is SO cute!  So grab that up while you are buying your team minis!

I’ve done some other work this week and I’ll post about it later…  I’ll also edit this post tonight and add some links so you can go check out my layouts (I hope you’ll want to check them out!).  My Batter Up layout is kind of funny and highlights a tense moment during the Arkansas/LSU game last Friday where BOTH teams were in the field.  I do mean the WHOLE teams… never seen that before.

So, I’m off to a baseball game (my husband is dressed and ready to go ummmm…. right now!) and I’ll see you soon.  Should be a beautiful day!

Make A Wish!

There’s a new kit out this week over at Scrap Orchard by LLC by Amy Stoffel!  It’s called “Make a Wish”.  It’s a birthday themed kit that you can do so much with.  I used my favorite scrap subject for a layout.  My niece, Hannah, who’s 2 years old.  I also made a birthday card that I can print out as a hybrid project.

What I’m up to…

Hello!  I’ve been staying busy!  There’s lots to do day to day but even more important (ha ha!) there’s lots of scrapping to be done.  So here’s what I am up to!

Can you find my name?  Look hard, it’s there!!  Yup!  I was picked as a CT member for LLC by Amy Stoffel (Live Love Create).  I have been a fan of Amy’s work since using it at Inspiration Lane.  She’s now over at one of my favorite stores, Scrap Orchard!  I’m thrilled to be a part of her team, they are a bunch of goofballs over there, so it is TONS of fun!

See the other ad???  Can you believe it?!  Yes, that’s my name under the guest spot over at the Scrap Matters shop.  Scrap Matters is also my favorite store!  It was a tough, VERY tough, site CT call.  130 applications.  The admin over there did a great job, especially my good scrap friend, Kim (kimbytx).  She’s the HEAD CT for the site team!  Wow, her work has always been really great and she’s an awesome friend!

So I can’t forget to give a shout out to my other CT teams.  I love working for Amanda Heimann’s Ad team over at SO, and Sarah Bennett at SM… they’ve been awesome teams so far and I hope to continue making great layouts and ads for them.  My favorite part is making great friends and promoting great work!  You may see some of that here!  Keep a watch out!
