Have you seen Amy Sumrall’s products for the September BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) at the LilyPad? I find them just darling!!
Bree has a new kit in the store and I have to say it is GORGEOUS!! If you’re a regular visitor of this blog and have seen my work, you know I almost always scrap in bold, bright colors. But this kit really inspired me. It’s superbly sweet and romantic!
I present you, Softest Touch:
and this morning during breakfast 🙂 I made this page with it:
What a nice way to start the day, playing with such a gorgeous kit!
Check out that alpha because it’s fabulous!! It’s beautiful and super complete (upper, lower, numbers and lots of symbols that usually aren’t there- like the # that I always use for my monthiversary pages 😉 )!
There’s a new kit out today by Mari Koegelenberg, and I really love it! I love the colors and the elements and even the name of the kit! 🙂 It’s a collab with Courtney Wilson and it’s called Sky Is the Limit:
And I had the perfect pictures to scrap with it! 🙂
For my birthday last week, DH got me a camera strap. But not just any camera strap: I’ve been wanting one for some time, so I went and searched on Etsy for a cheap one that had a pattern I liked, found the right one and emailed the link to DH 2-3 weeks before my birthday. I wasn’t really expecting he’d wait that long to get it for me, since it was quite cheap and not a surprise at all, but he did get it for my birthday, and made it work as a surprise too: since so much time had passed I had given up on it; plus, the Etsy store had closed for maintenance in the meantime, so I believed he’d just missed the right moment to buy it. 🙂 Anyway, long story, but I really love the new camera strap cover. It’s really pretty and cool, but especially I wanted it to make the strap less harsh on my neck – I tried it out at the zoo this weekend and I must say it does make a difference!
Credits:Mari’s whole store is 30% off until Monday, so make sure you check it out!!
Tomorrow’s the day!!! It’s the big opening of the new Polka Dot Plum store, with lots of fun and games planned!
September is here already, and after 4 months of break I’m starting classes today. I cannot believe how fast the summer has flown by; and it sure feels like fall here now: it was 48 degrees this morning when DH and I went running. It’s way too cold for me to be out in a t-shirt and shorts! We’ll have to try to run in the evenings I guess.
I can now post the second zoo page I did yesterday. I did this for the Inspiration Point challenge at ScrapMatters:
The lions were really gorgeous. I took some more lovely pics of them that I’ll have to scrap.
We went to the zoo this weekend and I took a gazillion pictures! Seriously, I only brought 1 memory card because I didn’t want to take too many pictures, but I still filled it up and came home with 402 pics!! How am I ever going to scrap them all?!? 😉 Anyway, we had lots of fun and were super lucky with the weather too: it was cloudy, so we enjoyed the cool air and only very few people were there!
I already did 2 pages but I can show only this one for now:
(the order in which I’m scrapping these is completely random so bear with me! 😉 Hopefully some day I’ll have filled in all the gaps!)
I’m slowly catching up on my Project 365. I’m now 2 weeks behind and hope to catch up this week, although I have lots of other pages to scrap with new kits coming out, so we’ll see how it goes! 🙂
In the meantime, here’s 3 weeks’ worth of pages:

Yesterday, August 28, I turned 28! Here’s my first birthday page for this year:
I’m so excited about Amy’s new products and her move to the LilyPad that I don’t even know where to start to show off all her goodies! 😉 She has 4 NEW products for sale, plus some of her most popular products are back in the store as well. Check out her new store at the LilyPad here! All her store has a special opening sale!
The first new product is Nutty, it’s such a darling kit!
Here’s a card I made for my dad’s birthday next week, I’m sure he’ll love it! 😉
That squirrel is just too cute!! I also repeated the greeting on the inside of the card:
Then there’s a crazy kit with the funniest doodles ever, Cat and Mouse (and one annoying little bee):
Amy also has a collab with Amy Wolff, First Day:
and finally, the gorgeous kit we are featuring in this blog train, Blooming Doodles:
Amy’s fabulous CT created some pretty cool wordart and element clusters for you, so without any further ado, here’s one from me:
Thanks for the interest, this freebie is no longer available.
