Great deal....

There are a bunch of deals going on right now. I will post them as I see them. First of all is Wimpychompers. She has some adorable kits out right now. Including one that was inspired by "Fancy Nancy" called "Fancy Pants". Check out my layout and a preview of the kit. :)

Lots of New LOs..

I have a bunch to share. So here we go...

I am trying to get a bunch of layouts done so that I can get 2009 printed. I think I have maybe 10-20 left. That may sound like a lot but we went to Disneyland and I have some of the holidays left to scrap.

The first one I am sharing is actually one I just finished. It is using a REALLY cute kit by Jessica Edwards called "Day at the Zoo". Also, right now my mojo is missing so I am using a lot of templates lately it seems. I think that Chrissy W. always designs some really classy LOs and I love the one I ended up using. It comes from her "Sample Pack 15"

Next we have a really cute kit by Wimpychompers called "Dog-Gone". It has the most adorable little dogs in it. I also used a template by GSD by Nikki Epperson called "Playing With Layers".

As for the next two....Down This Road Designs (a local digial designer) asked me if I would work with an LDS themed kit called "Missionary Memories: Sister". Previously I had worked with the Elder kit and I loved this one just as much. It is so darling and can be used to scrap missionary photos OR pictures of your future little missionaries. You will noticed that I even used it for a ward activity. The first LO is using another awesome template by Chrissy W. "Sample Pack 16". The second one is from "Playing With Layers" by GSD by Nikki Epperson...can you tell that I love her templates? :)

So....

I realize that the past couple of weeks I haven't really posted much other than the sales that I come across. Sorry. We are starting the baseball season and we will pretty much be out of the house 5 days a week with it for 2 months. If you know any quick and easy recipes I would greatly appreciate it because if it isn't quick then we resort to a drive-up. :)

I have done a lot of layouts though. Part of the problem is that I need to wait until the kit is released so that I don't ruin the surprise of what the designer has coming up.

Here are a couple of my favorite though.

This is one of my all-time favorites. I love the use/lack of color. I used "Are You Game?" by Wimpychompers that she had over at Polkadotplum before she left. I am sure she will be re-releasing it over at Scrap Matters and will let you know when she does.

This one is using a kit by Wimpychompers called "No Girls Allowed". It has some really fun elements in it. SIDE NOTE: She is now selling exclusively at Scrap Matters. It is a really nice store and when you post your layouts everyone there is so nice and comments so quickly on them. Check it out!

This one is using a lot of different designers' Color Play items over at Elemental Scraps. Each month they give the designers a color scheme to work with and they make what ever they wish with it. I used Amanda Carlson's alpha "Like Totally", Bella Gypsy's "Afternoon Cuddles" Embellishments and Template AND Albums to Remember "Stripes" paper.

For this layout I actually worked with a designer at Brownie Scraps who was looking for someone to make a LDS themed LO. It is called "Missionary Memories Elder" by Down This Road Designs. I also used a template by Bella Gypsy called "Lookie Here". If you would like to read my journaling please go here.

This one I actually did today. Madame Wing is a guest designer right now over at Elemental Scraps. For this I used "Hugs and Sunshine". I LOVE the flowers she has in this kit. Make sure you head over there and see what she has up in her store.

This is another really recent LO. I used a collab kit by Connie Prince and Armina Designs. It is appropriately called "Chick Magnet". It has a lot of different papers and elements. I just used only a small portion of them. Head over to Connie's store when you can. She is a fabulous designer and she has a lot of really cool stuff.

Some fun news, a FREE kit, and of course some more layouts.

Well I just found out a week or so ago that I will be guesting in March for GSD by Nikki Epperson. She is a designer over at Polkadotplum. I am REALLY excited. I love her designs. She does both kits and templates and they are FABULOUS!!!! So, if you haven't seen her store go check it out.

Also, Christina (Wimpychompers) is switching over from clip art to her own fabulous designs and to say farewell to the "old" she is giving away her latest kit "You Make Me Bananas". It will be free until Valentines day so make sure you get over there while you can.

Finally, I wanted to share some of my layouts that I have done. There really are a bunch of them so I will only pick my favorites. The first was for the Scrap Off at DSA. I unfortunately did not end up winning but had a lot of fun and loved all the free kits that we were given. This one is entitled "You Are My Sunshine".

Next used a kit by Wimpychompers called "Rocket Launch". It is one of her new kits and totally adorable. If you want to read my journaling please go here.

Now, we have ANOTHER layout using one of Wimpychompers kits call "Little Dude". I also used a template by Colie's Corner (No Rules Template Set) for this as well.

Last of all is my first layout I did for Susan Robinson Designs. She is currently at Polkadotplum but will be closing down her store on Valentines day. She will have a huge sale though this weekend. She makes the most fabulous templates and began designing kits as well, but her "real" job will be taking her on extended business trips and keep her so busy that she won't be able to maintain her store. For this layout I used her kit "Love is in the Air" and her template "Sketchpad Collection 13". Make sure you check it out.

More new LO's... :)

I have been doing LO's like it is going out of style lately...which I love because it means that my mojo isn't totally gone, right?

The first is using Wimpychompers kit "I Can See" and Colie's Corner's "For Starters Template Set 23". As a family with a lot of people who wear glasses this kit was perfect, especially to document the first pair (of many). :)

Next is a LO I did for Elemental Scraps (a store I just started CTing for). I picked a kit by Captivated Visions called "Sassy Frassy" which I immediately fell in love with. Those of you who know me know that I am a sucker for polkadots. For this LO I also used a template by Connie Prince and Bella Gypsy as a part of their "December Templatepalooza."

Look familiar? :)

Next is another LO for Elemental Scraps. I used "Homespun Holidays" by Meredith Cardall and "Sample Pack 16" by Chrissy W. I love how easy templates are and how quick they can make your work.

Last of all is a LO for Wimpychompers using a kit called "Caught Red Handed." I absolutely love all the papers and elements in this kit. It would be great for those time you catch your kids being naughty or even a really cute picture that you think is just "criminal"...I know I am hilarious. :)

New LOs....

So I recently did a couple of LOs. The first is from a kit by Colie's Corner called "On the Farm". She has made the most adorable animals for this kit. You have to check it out. If you have any farm or animal pictures this is a really great kit.

The second LO is using a kit by Wimpychompers called "Baby Steps." It is primarily for documenting all those "firsts" but has a few elements that are for pregnancy as well. The sad thing is though that this kit is being discontinued on January 1st so if you like it you better snag it before it goes in the vault.

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.

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.
