It’s a Party!

Don’t make plans for the weekend, because there’s a PARTY, and you’re invited!!! 😀

ScrapMatters is turning 2 and we have a lot of fun activities planned (not to mention the sale!!)!!


OK, I know you want to know more! Well, there are many fun games planned, a ton of speed scraps (with great partecipation prizes), a great blog train, a huge collab that’s free with $15 purchase, an incredible sale..! You don’t want to miss this great party!
I’ll post more details closer to the weekend! 😉

Catching Up!

I have a few pages to show from the weekend, all done for challenges at ScrapMatters.

Starting this month, SM is having monthly guest designers! For August, the guests are Amber of Stolen Moments and Minna of Mira Designs. I used some goodies from both of them for this page (for the Saturday Special challenge):

Grab Bag TIme!

It’s August and this means grab bag time!! 😀

Mari has a August Grab Bagnew grab bag that is packed full with goodies. It’s gorgeous and as you can see the colors are beautiful:
I played with it and some pictures from my test trip of the new lens:

This bag is perfect for vintage pages, but as you can see it works beautifully for any kind of page!

Almost Weekend!

I picked up an adorable mini kit by Britt for the mini album I’m working on, and I’m totally in love with this kit!


So I used it for a page that I can show off right now! 😉

I’m so glad the weekend is almost here! 🙂

Busy Busy!

I have been really busy this week with lots of projects! I am working on 3 hybrid projects (OK, one is a card so fairly easy, but the other 2 are mini albums so that means a lot of computer AND cutting time 😉 ) plus getting a bunch of LOs done! Unfortunately, I cannot show anything quite yet, but I will soon.

I also got my page for round 3 of the Battle of the Creative Teams at DSA done. That was a painful one, because our team had to come up with a long list of items to scrap with, and we had to use them all on our page, and nothing else! But a day later I must say I’m quite happy with my page. 😉

Credits:
10 papers: Desmond and Molly, Little Bunny Foo Foo, Oh So Happy!, Comical, Hula Monkey, Shape Up
9 circles: Children’s Day
8 staples: Desmond and Molly
7 buttons: Little Bunny Foo Foo, Shape Up
6 stitches: Shape Up
5 ribbons: Little Bunny Foo Foo
4 frames: Little Bunny Foo Foo, Crayon Brush Set 1
3 pictures
2 fonts: Pea Stacy’s Doodle, My Own Topher
1 alpha: Shape Up

Yeah, I know you don’t believe it, but there really is all that stuff on there! 😀

Time to Vote Again!

Round 2 of the Battle of the CTs is over and our team of Big Pimpins rocked it again!
We had to pick a musical theme, so we decided to each scrap our favorite song, and we also chose a common color scheme.

Here’s my page:
