Paradise and a Freebie

Happy Monday all, I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I know I had a very nice one, thanks to Tom and Mecca for a wonderful lunch. Today I'm going to show you a layout I made using a new kit by Digi-design by Nicole called Paradise and it's matching Paradise Solid Papers. She design this kit in advance of her upcoming trip to Hawaii and it is perfect for those summer and vacation photos. I also made a freebie for you from the kit.

The first layout is Callie and one of her friends on a trip to Austin. And they were really ready for those summer days. I love the bright colors of this kit, they work well with lots of different things.

I took the frame with the string of flowers off of that layout and saved it as a freebie for you. You can click on the preview to download it and as always, feel free to leave a comment.

I think you should head over to Stuff to Scrap and pick up Paradise and Paradise Solid Papers because it is 30% off this week. And on Tuesday Nicole will have For the Love Kit and Quick Pages on sale for $2.00 Tuesday.

A Bunny's Tale and a Freebie

Happy Monday for the second time (two in one day, I know you're shocked). This post is about a great new kit by Scraps by Andrea, and it is called A Bunny's Tale along with the matching A Bunny's Tale Cardstock and A Bunny's Tale Polka Dotted Paper. This is a sweet kit just packed with lots of goodies. It is perfect for your Easter photos, spring photos and so much more.

My first layout is Callie and Cole after an Easter Egg hunt a few years ago, ok, maybe more than a few. I love all the flowers in the kit, and the word art is part of it as well.

My second layout is Callie wearing bunny ears. She is "acting" like a bunny. She always makes me laugh!!!! I love the combination of pink and tan, and I really love the dotted papers in the add-on pack.

I created a freebie for you off of the second layout. It is the frame cluster. I hope you download it and find a good use for it. The preview below is linked so, simply click on it to download. And as always feel free to leave a comment.

Make sure you head over to Stuff to Scrap and pick up A Bunny's Tale, A Bunny's Tale Cardstock, and A Bunny's Tale Polka Dotted Paper soon, because they will be a great addition to your scrapping stash.

Splendor

Happy Monday all, today I'm going to show you layouts I made with a kit by Designing Divas (aka Designs by Christi and Sexy and Hot Mama Scrapper). The kit is called Splendor and I also used Splendor Add-on. It is a great kit that works for all kinds of layouts, the color mix can work for boys or girls.

My first layout is Zoey, the photos taken in October. She was in a posing mood, maybe because we were outside. She normally walks away inside the house. I love the pink and brown combination.

My second layout is Callie, "playing" the guitar. Ok she is holding a guitar, she never learned to play it. Lot of cute elements in this kit and I love the touches of black.

Splendor and Splendor Add-on will be great additions to your stash so head over to Stuff to Scrap and pick them up soon.

Happy Saturday

Ok if this works I will be able to get caught up on showing ya'll lots of layouts. I'm trying to use the slideshow feature of photobucket. I've loaded all of the layouts I've been doing for Trixie Scraps (since I got the idea from her blog). I think there are about 30 layouts in the mix. It is so much easier than loading one layout at a time. If it works, then I'll try and do more of my challenge layouts this way and maybe I'll get caught up again (hehehe). We can only hope.



All the products for the layouts in the slide show are created by Trixie Scraps and can be found in her store.

Rainy Days & Rainbows plus a Freebie

Happy Tuesday all, hope everyone is having a good week so far. Today I'm going to show you a layout I made with a new kit by Digi-designs by Nicole called Rainy Days & Rainbows. It is a bright kit full of rainbow colors, fun patterns and great embellishments. The kit is perfect for all kinds of layouts.

My layout is Sharla as we were out looking for spring flowers to photograph. She hates that I always snap photos of her too, but too bad for her (hehehe). I love the bright colors in this kit and the elements are great (lots of flowers).

I also created a freebie for you. You can click on the preview, because it is linked and as always feel free to leave a comment.

And make sure you head over to Stuff to Scrap and pick up Rainy Days & Rainbows soon because it is on sale for 30% off this week only.

iColor {A Mega Kit}

Happy Monday all, hope everyone in the DFW area survived the storm last night. I had a couple of scared pups and one that kept barking at the thunder. So not much sleep for me. But that's not what I'm here for today. I'm going to show you a couple of layouts I made with a kit called iColor {A Mega Kit}. It is a monochromatic kit, well actually it is nine monochromatic kits bundled together. And each kit on its own is great, but bundled it is fantastic.

My first layout is Callie and Cole, from Mother's Day last year. I mixed papers and elements from all the kits to make this bright page. And they definitely color my world!!!

My second layout is Callie, taken a few years ago, ok maybe more than a few. I used mostly the red kit, but threw in touches from the green and black kits as well. I love bright colors, they really pop on the page.

I really recommend you head over to the Stuff to Scrap store and pick up iColor {A Mega Kit} right away, because it is on sale right now, but I don't know how long the sale will last!!!!

Those Were The Days

Happy Wednesday night all!!! I don't know about where you are, but spring is here, and that means wind blowing "stuff" around in the air. I love spring but I hate allergies. But enough of my moaning. Today I'm going to show you a couple of layouts I made with a kit called Those Were The Days by Meagan's Creations. It is a fun retro kit that reminds me of my childhood. I think it is all the patterns.

My first layout is Callie. I did it for a lyric challenge and when I saw the song chosen was Walking on Sunshine, I knew this kit would be perfect. And Callie is just a little bit of sunshine...no she is a big piece of sunshine!!! I also used on of Meagan's templates from Template Set Volume 4

My second layout is daddy, Tom, Trey, Callie and Cole. When I saw this picture all I could think of was that baby is going to graduate high school next month. Ohhh my how time has flown. I really loved the background paper I used here, that pattern really reminds me of my childhood.

So make sure you head over to Stuff to Scrap and pick up Those Were The Days and while you're there pick up Template Set Volume 4 too, both will be great additions to your stash.

April BAK: Denim & Dirt

Happy Friday all, I think Spring is back here in Texas, we had a brief cold spell, but nothing horrible. I know I'm ready for spring, I love all the beautiful flowers. Today I'm going to show you layouts I made with parts of the April Build a Kit at Stuff to Scrap. All of these were created by Scraps by Andrea and they are her Denim & Dirt set. She has four parts, Denim & Dirt Papers, Denim & Dirt Worn Papers and Cardstock, Denim & Dirt Elements, and Denim & Dirt Clusters. The colors are a great mix of blues and tans, perfect for all kinds of layouts, but especially perfect for boy layouts.

My first layout is Cole with Jake taken a few years ago. It is so hard to believe he will be graduating high school in just a few weeks.

My second layout is Cooper after he has been rooting around in the mud. He doesn't do this often, but every now and then he becomes a mud puppy.

So if you have someone in your family that likes denim and dirt, make sure you head over to Stuff to Scrap and pick up Denim & Dirt Papers, Denim & Dirt Worn Papers and Cardstock, Denim & Dirt Elements and Denim & Dirt Clusters soon!!!!
