Puppy

| cristina

No, we do not have a new puppy, nor do we plan to get one, but a dear friend of ours recently got a cute little puppy, so I had to scrap about it! 🙂

Today is Wibbit Wednesday, which means a lot of great products are for sale 50% off at The Lilypad, including these beautiful templates by Valorie Wibbens:

And here’s my page:

Brian’s new puppy, Gabby, is too stinkin’ cute! He’s been home for a little under a week, but he is the prince of the house already!

I LOVE how this page turned out! 🙂 Oh, and let me give a shout out to what has quickly become my favorite font!! It’s a must have!

Have a great rest of the week!

Jenn Barrette is guesting at ScrapMatters this month! Here is this week’s new kit:

Here’s the page I made with it:

And here is today’s new kit at the Sweet Shoppe:

I’ve never been camping, not do I wish to go (I need my comforts!), but this kit is just too cute! I used it to make this card:

DH and I are trying to plan a trip next month, we’re still not 100% sure it will work out, but we’re hoping it does. I am so looking forward to it!

Exciting News!

| cristina

I have some fantastic news to share! As of today, I am a Pollywog!!! I was asked to join the CT at The Lilypad and of course I said yes. I’ve been wanting to be a Pollywog for a very long time! So check out my new blinkie! 🙂

TLP blinkie

I will be doing some marketing for TLP (just posting the new releases and sales, and enabling) and I get to be a Pollywog in exchange. How cool is that?! 😉 I haven’t scrapped this week, but I have a couple pages left over from the weekend to share. They happen to be all TLP products. 🙂

It’s going to be hard for me to concentrate on work after receiving this news, luckily it’s Friday! 😉

Summer Sunshine

Ju Kneipp has a gorgeous new kit at Catscrap:

Like all her kits, this really makes me want to scrap! I started by making this card:

I have a couple of pages to show that I did this weekend, I will post them tomorrow.

Happy July!

I’m no longer a guest Pollywog (sigh), but do check out the great sale going on, and the fabulous new BYOC!

This means that Krista’s store is also on sale!! She also has two gorgeous new products for the July BYOC:

I love them both! I used them to make a fun little party decoration:

July 4th Flags

July 4th Flags

And the fact that I don’t have any 4th July party planned is totally irrelevant. I can eat my watermelon in any way that pleases me, right? 😉 😀 I made a fun 4th July card too, but I’ll show that to you on July 4th. 🙂

In My Head

| cristina

I have played in all seven of the June monthly challenges at The Lilypad. The One Word Challenge was the one that got me most stumped. We had to incorporate the word “head” in the title, but I just couldn’t come up with anything. But then I got the idea for this page, and I love how it turned out!

I just listed a few of my passions: what I love to eat, what I love to photograph, and what I’ve been reading lately. Probably should have used a smaller font size to fit in a few more categories, but I didn’t want to over-crowd the page. 😉
I got a GSO at Me So Scrappy and a GSO at ScrapMatters too! 🙂

Half Year

We’re halfway through 2011, more or less, and my P52 Cards is still going strong. Here’s the past few weeks’ worth of photos.

P52 Cards - Week 24

You can see the Week 24 card here.

P52 Cards - Week 25

Sorry for the weird colors on this picture. :/ You can see the Week 25 card here.

P52 Cards - Week 26

You can see the Week 26 card here.

As you can see from the location of the past few pictures, we’ve been spending some time on the deck. 🙂 It’s a good summer!

My stash of cards is almost depleted! 🙂 I have to get back making more. I do have one almost done for this week, though, so I’m good. 😉

A Few More Pages

I have done some other pages this week, not with new releases, so let me show them off now.

*sigh* I have a crush on Jazzmin Designs. She has been guesting at The Lilypad for the past couple of months and her creations are just fantastic!

This month has been really great to get a good chunk of pages done on my mom’s visit. Howerver, I’m not even halfway through her visit at this point! Ugh! But I love every single page so far so even if I don’t finish scrapping every single picture or event, I have a pretty good coverage already.
