Slowly but surely, I’m working on scrapping pictures from my mom’s visit back in May. 🙂 And since most of the pictures are from trips to restaurants ;), this kit by Britt-ish Designs and SuzyQ Scraps is just perfect:

Here’s my page (matching with the first LO here that used the same kit):

Unfortunately I don’t have anything else to share – I haven’t been scrapping lately and won’t for over a week since I’m about to go on a business trip.

Last night I scrapped, and I did something quite different from my usual style. I love it! 🙂
I used a gorgeous – and huge! – kit by By Becca and Designs by Helly:

Here’s my art journal page:

I really love scrapbooking. It can be so cathartic to put those thoughts into writing and art.
The other day I also made another page about my mom’s visit and I love how it turned out!

I am so excited and cannot wait for the next 3 weeks to go by: I ordered an electronic die cutting machine yesterday and cannot wait for it to be delivered!!! 😀 It’s an early birthday present and DH was very supportive. Yay! I really cannot wait to cut out some goodies!

In the meantime, I have some digi pages to show. First off, I used a gorgeous kit by Lina of LDrag Designs (she joined the design team at ScrapMatters this month after guesting in June, but she was no stranger: she was a CT member way back when I first found my digi-home almost 2 years ago. 🙂 ):

The colors of this kit are beautiful!! And perfect to match some pictures DH and I took last week. 🙂

I only scrapped one page this weekend (been busy installing my CS5 😉 and getting the pictures for my P365 organized), but I quite love how it turned out:

I did this page for a challenge at ScrapOrchard. And while I practically don’t do challlenges anymore these days, it’s so true that a good challenge pushes you to do a page you wouldn’t have otherwise (in this case, use at least 7 different cloud elements and twine 3 elements on a string). I rarely take the time to intertwine elements, but I love the little cluster I made here. 🙂

I don’t know about you, but I’m so fed up with the heat this year!! It’s been really terrible compared to past years. :-/ I was able to work from home the past 2 days, but I had to come in the office today, and the humidity is killing me!
But there’s a great way to beat the heat: a Christmas sale! 🙂

And check out the new products in the store today: there are come great Christmas kits that will also be 30% off for a week!

How was your 4th of July? Ours was great: the heat wasn’t as bad as we feared and we spent a lovely day. First BBQ with friends, then fireworks. And my pictures of fireworks turned out better this year! Yaay!
Anyway, have you found the right 4th of July kit to scrap your pictures? I’ve fallen in love with this one:

which I used to make this tonight:

And the next kit I’ll be downloading is this one:

Yay!

I know, I know, I haven’t blogged in like forever! I’ve just been busy with life, getting back in track after spending one week at a conference, but I do have some exciting news to share and a few projects to show off. 🙂

First of all, the Daily Download is back at ScrapMatters, and it’s a good one!!

Every day, head over to the forum and download one piece of a fabulous kit – I’ve seen it, and it’s amazing!! By the end of July, you’ll have a gorgeous kit, for free!

Next, let me see what I can show you… Let’s start with few LOs!
I’ve been slowly but surely scrapping my mom’s visit, so here’s anothe page for that (this is day 3):

Then I have a page for this month’s I’ll Pencil You In challenge at ScrapMatters: it’s all about getting out calendars for 2011 ready in advance.

This past weekend I finally got back in track with my photography course so I did a page about my passion for photography.

Isn’t this the perfect kit for photography? I love it!

That’s all for now – I have a couple of hybrid projects to post, but I will keep that for tomorrow. 🙂
