New Team!

Leora Sanford opened up her store at Oscraps a few weeks and recently had a CT call. I applied, and… I was picked! I’m so excited to be on this team! Leora has a new kit coming next week for DSD, and she’s having a giveaway on her blog! Click on the sneak peek to go to her blog and enter to win. 🙂

This kit is sooo gorgeous! The colors are just beautiful!

Leaves Are Falling

I don’t have much to share today, just one page, but I’ve been busy this week! I am leaving Sunday on a business trip so I’ve been trying to get as much scrapping as I can before that – BYOC is next week, and then there’s NSD weekend, so there’s so much to scrap with! Here’s the kit I used out of today’s beautiful new releases at The Lilypad (20% off throughout the weekend):

The colors and the doodled elements in this kit are just gorgeous, and I love how this page turned out!

I am happy to say that the leaves in our front yard have mostly been blown away by the wind, and this saves us from a lot of work. Unfortunately our backyard is fenced in so we do have to pick up the leaves there, but they haven’t all fallen yet. I will try to take pictures before and after our yard work so I can use the pretty rake and leaves bag elements in this kit!

I must share a project I recently made with a great hybrid template by Simply J Studio and some of the ScrapMatters September Mix-a-Kit. I love how it turned out!

I’m going to burn a DVD with photos of this year to go in it. 🙂

Jenn Barrette has a new kit out today. It’s a beautiful collaboration with Shawna Clingerman.

I love all the gorgeous elements in this kit, so much that I used them as the main component for this card:

Thankful for You card

Have a fabulous weekend! I have a few fun events planned, so I ‘m looking forward to that!

Hope for Melissa

I have something very, very special to share today. The designers at The Lilypad have put together an amazing collaboration kit for a very sweet girl, Melissa, who is on the CT at The Lilypad and is fighting hard against ovarian cancer. I did not know Melissa prior to joining the CT, but by checking out her blog I soon found out what a special person she is. And this kit is in honor of Melissa; all proceeds from the sale will go to her and her family as they keep fighting this battle.

The kit is gorgeous, truly gorgeous, and it is special in so many ways. So if you buy just one kit this week – heck, if you buy just one kit this month! – let this be it.

I can see myself scrapping many, many page with this kit – it’s so big and versatile! Here are two pages I’ve made so far:

Incidentally, these are the first photos I edited with RadLab and scrapped – love them!

I have more great news, and another page to share. It’s time for the quarterly 30% off sale at The Lilypad, so make sure you take advantage of it this weekend!

I used this gorgeous new kit by Jenna Desai and Micheline Martin:

Sigh. I’ve scrapped that photo before, but lately DH has been particularly reluctant in taking pictures. I will force him to take a few this weekend, so I can swap the new photo in this page. 🙂

I am dying to share this project! I did it last night and I’m so happy with how it turned out!! 🙂 Ju Kneipp and Tangie Baxter have teamed up to create a fantastic kit out today at Oscraps:

I used it to make a frame with collage houses and I am SO excited about how this project turned out!

Here are some details. The house on the left is all digi – it’s an element made by Tangie. And it inspired me to create my own collage houses. I had so much fun with this project! 😉

This kit is perfect to scrap little boys, but it was great to scrap my train ride with my mom too!

I’m trying really hard to finish scrapping all the pictures from my mom’s visit in spring before she comes to visit again next month, otherwise I know they’ll never get scrapped! I have been making slow and constant progress, but this is going to be a huuuge album! I’m at about 45 pages scrapped, and I will have to do at least 10 more. Help! 🙂
