There are 3 new kits in Mari’s store and although they aren’t new releases (they’re just being put back into her store) it’s worth checking them out because they’re gorgeous! It’s 3 collabs with Sarah Jones and they’re just so pretty!
and my personal favorite, Cupcakes:
I haven’t played with this kit yet, but I sure will soon because it’s just too cute! 😉
As all new releases, these kits are 20% off today only, so make sure you take advantage of this offer!
OK, so last week I applied for a spot on the DigiChick’s CT. Because I love the place, I’m pretty active there, and really wanted to be part of the team.
But on Monday I found out I was not picked and I felt sooooooooo bummed.. I know I’m not the best scrapper out there, but it really would have meant a lot to be picked, because I really feel part of the community there. I realize the competition must have been fierce, but that certainly does not sweeten the rejection.
Anyway, that evening I bought a couple of lovely bits ‘n pieces by Kaye Winiecki and used them right away to make a page. This page just came together in no time, and I love it.
And today, this page was featured in the Gallery Standouts blog!!!!!! It’s my first ever GSO (I hope it’s not the last! LOL) and I’m just content now! 😀 I feel like a grown up scrapper. 🙂 I know I shouldn’t care about praises much, and in a sense I don’t because I’m just happy with how I scrap, but boy, does it feel good to see my page there! 😉
Today the first year students are facing the last day of the dreadful 3-day exam I faced last year: I feel like this year has flown by so fast!
Anyway, I have a couple projects from the weekend that I haven’t shown yet. First off, a little hybrid project that made my husband very happy.
He loves to taste wine so when I saw this little blue notebook for sale, I knew I had to pretty it up for him to write his tasting notes. 🙂 I made a label to cover the embossed writing “journal”:
I also made a 2-sided bookmark with the 100 point wine rating system. I’m so happy that he’s using it and loves it! 🙂
Of course, I had just the right kit for this project, a collab by Juno Designs and Julie Marie Designs, The Good Life:
The colors of this kit are gorgeous and went perfectly with the blue notebook. Plus, the grape and bottle elements were just what I needed to characterize the notebook!
I also have a page to share, done for the Everyday Magic challenge. We had to scrap about our favorite little place to eat (not the fancy place for special occasions), so I just had to go with Red Lobster! 🙂 DH and I go pretty often, and when my parents come to visit it’s a set date! 😉
I also have some Project 365 pages to share, but since I’m not caught up yet I guess I’ll show them all together when I do catch up. Hopefully, by the end of the week – although I do have a busy week scheduled, with little or no scrapping time..!
It’s Tuesday and this means $2 Tuesday at the DigiChick.. but only for this Tuesday: this is the very last $2 Tuesday, so go check out Mari’s store now!!
She has 12 gorgeous products for sale, and you’ll never get this great deal again!
Happy Monday everyone! Like every week, it’s Manic Monday, so you might want to check out the special deals at ScrapMatters! 😉
I have something to show you that I’m really excited about: Jeni Hopewell has started a new custom font service. This means you can turn your handwriting into a font!!!! There’s an exclusive option
and a non-exclusive option, the latter meaning that your font can be put for sale in the shop for others to use:
And let me tell you, the price is an absolute deal!!
I made 2 fonts and they are both in the shop. The first is with my handwriting:
and the other is a fancier font:
It’s so COOL to have my very own font! 😉
Here’s a page I made for the Roadmap to Scrap challenge using both fonts:
These were the instructions:
Yessssssssssss!!! Bree is back to designing!!!!! She’s taken a break over the past few months because she opened up a very nice store, Digiridoo Scraps, which has also a great forum, with friendly people, fun challenges and great tutorials! It’s really a nice, drama free place and I recommend you check it out!
Now that the new place is up and running, she’s back into designing and has 2 gorgeous new products!
First off, Basic Instincts, a kit that’s packed with all those basic elements you always need when making a page – you’ll be using this kit over and over again! Plus, the neutral colors work great for any theme – and they’re great for recoloring too.
There’s also a super fun glitter pack, Glitterazzi vol. 1, which comes with great recoloring instructions!
I played with both and made this pretty little page, I really love how it came together!
Welcome back, Bree!! 😉
Well, it’s not Christmas yet, but Mari’s new vintage Christmas kit, Noel, made me want to pull out some pictures from last year and finally get them scrapped! 🙂
I started scrapping pictures from this weekend. Actually, I didn’t take that many pictures (it was so hot! And the weather was hazy so the light was really bad.. But I like the ones I took!) so I think I’ll be doing only a couple more pages.
Anyway, I did this for the Grand Theft LO at ScrapMatters, lifting none other than the fabulous Erica Zane! 😉

On a personal note, exactly one year ago I was sitting through Day 2 of the preliminary exam.. I was a bit disappointed about how I did on Day 1, and was afraid about Day 3 coming up.. but mostly, I just couldn’t wait to be done with it all!
Well, as you all know, I did even better than expected on the exam, ending up at the top of the class.. So what could have been a dreadful memory is actually a sweet one. But, as I see the students who are about to face their exam (theirs is next week), I sympathize and wish for them to get over with it quickly!
It’s that time of the week again… $2 Tuesday!! 😉
Mari has quite a few goodies in store here, check them out here!
Let me show you my favorites! There’s her latest kit, Sweetie Pie:
and the gorgeous, summery Happiness:
and finally, the sweetest kit ever, Hooty Toot:
As usual, these amazing deals are available today only, so go off and shop! 😉
Keep scrolling for the ScrapMatters blog train! 😉

I really cannot understand how the weekend flew by so fast! It was a good weekend, albeit too hot. Today is going to be the hottest day so far and I’m not looking forward to it! :-S
I did get quite a few pages scrapped, but there’s only one I can show today.
I scrapped this for my favorite challenge ever, the My Story Matters challenge at ScrapMatters. I’m proud to say I’ve done them all, and this is #15. However, this was a tough one. We had to scrap about something we were proud of when we were in middle school/high school. And I really didn’t know what to scrap!! There’s nothing I was really super proud of.. so I ended up scrapping about playing the flute.
I took the picture on Saturday after spending the day in the heat: I was worn out and the picture turned out super crappy.. and I was way too tired to take a better one. 😉 So I played around with the overlay/soft light modes, and ended up loving the texture! 🙂
Check out this gorgeous pack by Erica, Fill in the Blank:
I know for sure I’ll be using it over and over!!
