Wholly Scrappin' in January!

I made the trek to North Hampton, NH today to deliver two new layouts to display at Wholly Scrap!  This month's goodies included some CUTE Karen Foster Designs baby papers, some Cored'inations Cardstock and some American Crafts Laser Cut Lace Paper. 

First off, the Karen Foster goodies.  This is my son who looks NOTHING like this anymore.  He's still cute, but I miss those chubby cheeks and fuzzy baby hair!  I still call him "Monkey," too!

And, now for the Cored'inations and American Crafts combo!  Little Miss thinks that her latest layout is "really pretty" so that's a score, right?!

By the way, I didn't really get straight on shots of either of these layouts.  So things (*cough*journaling strips*cough*) that LOOK crooked really aren't.  Crooked=lots of paper bag breathing.  I can't do it. 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'm looking forward to playing with this month's goodies from Wholly Scrap-- Bo Bunny Double Dot Cardstock and some GORGEOUS LYB!  I can't wait to dig in!

It's THAT time of year!

It's almost time for CHA and for the paper manufacturers to start revealing their new lines that we get to play with this year!  Scrappin' Sports and More's new line is called "The Sport is...." and has TONS of sports and activities represented!  The first papers that I dove into was the "Fishing" one.  The red, white and blue is so easy to work with and it coordinates really well with the other fishing papers that SS&M has!  Keep an eye on the SS&M Blog to see other pieces of the line as our Design Team shares them!

Products Used:

#1342- The Sport is Fishing/Hunting

#1309- On the Edge Sports- Fishing 

I'll be back soon to share more of what I've been up to!  Thanks for stopping by!!



Lookin' Good!!

Check out my fresh, pretty new blog!!  I'm so excited that I got a blog makeover and I want to thank Kassie Garlock of "Designs by Kassie" for her time and expertise.  She did an incredible job!  And, if you are in the market for a blog makeover, I would give Kassie my HIGEHST reccommendation!

Wholly Scrappin'!!

I was so excited when I saw the papers that I got from Wholly Scrap this time around!  One look and I knew that these Karen Foster and Basic Grey papers would be PERFECT to scrap my kids' school photos!  It feels good to be caught up on ONE thing- all the school photos are done! 

Colby LOVES to wear ties to school and dress up for any occasion that he decides is "special"!  I hope that he never grows out of it!

Miss Elizabeth looks SO grown up in her picture this year.  Maybe next year will give us a little backwards leap in time!  Here's to hoping!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

2011 is going to be a ROCKIN' Year!!

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I read the news yesterday!  I made it to the Best Creation Design Team!  My name is on the list next to some of the industry's most talented designers!

I'm still in shock!  I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and get to work!  And, just the thought of all of their glitter cardstock makes me so very happy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Top 10 of 2010!

As the year 2010 winds to a close, I took a look back at some of the work I have accomplished this year.  While I know that not EVERY layout will be my favorite, I am very happy with how my work has grown over the year.  I have had the pleasure of working on several design teams this year that have pushed me to work outside my comfort zone, and for that I am so very grateful! 

I wanted to take a moment to share my top 10 favorite layouts of 2010!  I encourage all of my scrappy friends to do the same!  I can't wait to see what you see as your favorite work!

In no particular order....

Thanks so much for stopping by!  This has been a fabulous year and I can't wait to see what 2011 brings!  Wishing you all health, happiness and of course, SCRAPPINESS!

JustRite Stamps!

A Walk Down Memory Lane is featuring JustRite Stamps this month!  These stamps are different than any other stamps I've used- they have their own system of attaching to the stamp base and their circular patterns are really fun to use and work great for altering gifts!  The Christmas Set was exactly what I needed for putting the finishing touches on some gifts that I made to give away this year!

As this month's featured manufacturer, you get 25% off JustRite Stamps for the whole month of December!  And, don't forget that The Girls' Paperie is December's other featured manufacurer so you can enjoy the 25% savings on all of their in stock products, as well!  Have fun!

It's Game Time!!!

My kids LOVE to play board games!  Life, Monopoly, Cards- Anything!!  When I saw this paper from Scrappin' Sports & More, I knew it would be perfect!  It's from their "Young and Active" line and it's all about Board Games!  The fun, primary colors make it so "kid friendly."  The front side of the paper is the "game board" and the back side has all of the "cards."  I cut the cards out to make a nice little hand of cards to use as an embellishment.  I also cut out the dice and popped them with some foam tape, and the blue deck of cards, as well!  The rub-ons are fabulous, too!  Such great colors!!  I love how this layout came out!
