It has been forever since I posted anything so lets catch up...

Life has been wild for me lately. My little sweet babies have gotten only a little better. They still cough like crazy sometimes but no one (including the doctors) knows why. We are trying to finish what we started and get Emma potty trained. She is so close but still a little stubborn about it. Gehrig is reading (isn't that exciting?) and I have been trying to work with him more on that. Then we have the holidays coming up and who isn't busy then right? So, I have decided to step down from two of the designers that I CT for in hopes of not driving myself and my family crazy trying to keep up with it all. Both were really great to work with. They were the first two that took a chance on me when I initially decided to try out and I am eternally grateful for that. The experience has been wonderful.



So now onto what I have been working on....

The first is on our Girls Night Out to see New Moon. It was such a fun day and Pixel Pisces has such an awesome kit called Girlie Pieces. There is a lot more too that kit obviously than I used. I was working with a template by Colie's Corner in her Gimme Five Template Set.




Next is two LO's I did using Wimpychomper's kit called I'll Save You. For "Captain Underpants(es)" I used another template by Colie's Corner's For Starters Template Set 21. I have so many super hero layouts I could do for both my boys AND Emma and I love how she has covered both boys and girls with this kit.




Then we have another LO using one of Wimpychomper's kits called Forever Love. This is the perfect wedding/love kit. She has some really beautiful elements. It is very muted which works great with both color and black and white.



Last of all is another kit by Colie Corner called Tis the Season. It has the most adorable Santa! I used another one of her templates too. She just came out with 4 or 5 new sets. This one is from No Rules.

New LO's

I completed 2 LO's yesterday (Saturday). Andrew, my AWESOME husband, gave me my Christmas present (4GB of memory) early in hopes of speeding up my scrapbooking so that I can go to bed at a decent time. I think it worked because I was able to get so much done. If your computer is really slow and REALLY REALLY slow if you are digital scrapbooking I highly recommend getting more memory. It is like having a brand new computer. Anyhow back to the LOs....I used a kit that will be coming out at Pretty Scrappy called From Our Roots. It is a collab made by all the designers at Pretty Scrappy. It has two parts and is fabulous. So many papers and elements to choose from. On the second LO I used a template by Colie's Corner. A little while ago I asked her if she would make templates with 5 or more pictures since I have 5 kids and generally templates only have 3 or less pictures in it. She totally came through for me and they turned out awesome. She called it Gimmie Five Template set. If you love them you can get it at Gotta Pixel.

Here is my LOs. I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for dropping by!

So I have done a few LOs and have been saving them up for you. The first is from Wimpychompers' collab kit with Danielle Corbitt called "Circus Boogie". I love the elements and papers for this kit. We have never been to the circus but I thought the cute elements worked great with the zoo page I did. Take a look...

The second LO I did used Colie's Corner's kit "Made with Love". Such a cute kit with the little kids all dressed up in baker's uniforms. Would be great for any baking LO and with Christmas coming up that is sure to be useful. For this LO I also used her For Starter's Template Set 21.

Interested in learning how to digital scrapbook???

I have been asked by a couple of people to show them how to digital scrapbook. I am more than happy to help out, but sometimes it is hard to plan. I was thinking that it might be faster if I just get a bunch of us together and we have a mini class. I wouldn't charge anything, but I could show you the ropes. And if you want to get more hands-on time you could bring your laptop or desktop (yes, it requires a little more work) and that way I would be there to trouble shoot as well. What do you think? We could even take it a step farther and I could talk to some of the designers I work with and see if there is anything they could hook me up with or a discount they would give me that I could pass on so that we could complete a project. Maybe design our own Christmas cards, complete a LO, etc. Let me know who is in and I will get working. Feel free to pass this on to anyone who you think might be interested. That way we can all help each other, right?

Some new LO's....

I have done a couple of LO's since the weekend and wanted to post them. The first is done with a kit I recently got from a designer at PDP (PolkaDotPlum) named GSD by Nikki. The kit is called "Rustic Comfort". Also as a part of DSD (Digital Scrapbooking Day) she was hosting a template challenge and gave us the following template to use. Again, I must say that I LOVE templates. :)

For the second LO I used a kit by TotallyD which by the way has changed her name to PixelPisces and currently has a store at www.inspiration-lane.com. I am loving her new kit "Playful". It has the brighter colors that I tend to be drawn to and some fun elements that didn't exactly work with this kit, but could be used a bunch others.

Digital Scrapbooking Day

So this Saturday is Digital Scrapbooking Day and it is an AWESOME time to score lots of great deals AND be able to get free stuff. I highly recommend checking out the various stores you shop at to see what kind of deals that they are running. Two that I will definitely be hanging around at are PolkaDotPlum and GottaPixel. Here is what they have going on and hopefully I will see you there.

AND I had to let you know about Wimpychomper's sale at PolkaDotPlum. Not only does their sale apply but she is going to give you a coupon in the amount you spend in her store over $5 to be used later. So you could buy say $10 on Saturday from her store and she will give you a $10 coupon to use later. How awesome is that?

New LO - I'm Grateful for You

For this LO I used For Starters Template Set 18 by Colie's Corner and Wimpychompers awesome kit called "My Little Gobbler". I love ALL the elements in this kit but couldn't find any Thanksgiving pictures...although this year I will make sure my battery isn't dead. LOL Also, I am really dying to make place cards with this one for the family sit down feast. I will post them when I get done.
