Ending of a Great Weekend

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I enjoyed mine...even though I missed being able to browse the internet. I have a few things to show you before I head off to dreamland. It is almost midnight here. Ugh! I do not like Mondays at all...lol!!

First...ScrapMatters Collaboration by the talented design team has been released. Until September the 16th, the kit is 50% off..after the 16th, it will be revealed and available for purchase at the regular price. I will say that it is a beautiful kit...and not just because I am on the creative team. I love the fall and this is definitely a kit I would grab for my stash for those fall photos. Here is a layout I have created using the kit....

On my page, I blended two of the background papers for the Saturday Special challenge at ScrapMatters. You can check out the challenge here, which gives a short tutorial on blending papers. We would love to see what you create using the challenge instructions. The challenge layouts are due at the end of this month and you earn points towards a store coupon. The more challenges you complete the better. :)

This next gorgeous autumn bundle is Second Spring by Stolen Moments and Captivated Visions. It is fully of gorgeous goodies! I fell in love with it time I saw it...these designing ladies make a fab team. Here's my page:

My favorite part of this kit was the papers..they were gorgeous all by themselves! I think I used as many of them as I could on this one page. I used to be afraid to play with patterns together...but every now and then I will and it turns quite well (to me anyway...LoL!!!).  

My next page was created using a gorgeous kit by Scooty's Designs and Designs by Anita. I love their clean, neat design style and this kit is too darling for words. A Drift in Dreams is available @ Memory Scraps and Two Little Pixels...and here is my page...

Before I go, this next page has to be one of my favorites. For two reasons...I am not very good with templates but I love to look at them for inspiration..so when I saw these two talented ladies of Berry Sweet Designs and Busy Bee Designs created a collaborative set...I knew I had to try! The set is called Harvesting Memories available at Memory Scraps. I used two kits by Lauraskathi: Erica and Laney, which are both on sale right now for $2.00 each (SN: her entire store is on sale...a must see!!) Sooo...here's my page:

That's all for now...thanks so much for looking!!! 

Free Day!!

For those who celebrate, hope you are enjoying the holiday! I know I am enjoying this free day off from work. Maybe I will have time to get my mind together. The past few weeks have been a little crazy for me but things are tapering off and finally getting back to normal. I have a few pages to share with you today.

This first page was done for a template challenge. I love cut-outs so I knew I had to give it a try. The kit I used is "Forever and Always" by Geek Chic Scraps over at Gotta Pixel. This is the most darling kit. I usually don't like overly girly kits but the papers are so well made and colored and the elements are perfect accents...I really enjoyed playing with this kit.

Then over at ScrapMatters, I had to play along in the "In Living Color" challenge. Great color choices for this month. I used "Love Blooms" by Jennifer Barrette. 

And for those that are "journaling-challenged" as I am...there is a great chance to score some points towards store purchases and to get in the groove of journaling more. All memories may not have photos...does not meant they should not be scrapped and preserved. Memory Scraps has a monthly journaling challenge and this time the theme is up to you as long as your page is 70% journaling. For my page I used Father and Son by Designs by Anita.

Over the past week, some fabulous designers have joined the team at Memory Scraps..one of them being : Berry Sweet Designs. Check out her latest kit, Purple Passion, and template set, Loads of Paper. 

And..if I were you...I would go check out her store because she is giving away one of her amazing templates for you to try!

Mye De Leon has been quite busy these days-she has recently released two amazing collaborations. 

The first is Waiting for the Sunshine with eNKay Design, available here and here.

Layout from me using this kit.......

Then Mye has teamed up with Connie Prince to create another wonderful Digi-Survival-Stash, available here and here.

Here's a page I have made....

And the last page I have to show was created with one of the last kits that will released at Songbird Avenue, Inc. The site will be closing at the end of this month. Everyday Moments was created by ErinInk, a designer from Memory Scraps. Gorgeous kit and definitely a must have. This is a charity kit and can be purchased here. 

Here is a layout I have created.....

Awesome sales and a blog train!!

Gotta Pixel is having a Back to School Blog Train.


A blog train is a group of blogs who get together to provide you with a little freebie and when you’re done with one blog, you follow the link to the next blog to get the next freebie.  It’s a wonderful opportunity for you to meet new designers, see what sales or new releases are out there and to get to know the designers better!

The Gotta Pixel designers got together and used the same color swatch for the Back to School Blog Train so you’ll be able to mix and match what you pick up on the blog train and have it coordinate!

If you want to hop on...start here at Stacy Carlson's blog!

And that's not all they have planned...there is a storewide sale going on too!

Wait wait...that's not all....the Gotta Grab It (GGI) sale is going on too! Every item is $1.00! All of the designers got together and created kits using the same color palette. 

Here are a few pages I have created using some of the GGI kits...

...using True Confections by Mye De Leon...

...and using Expecting by Isabel Mendez...

Thanks for looking!!

And the latest....

It has been awhile since I last updated. Just wanted to share a few things with you...

Mye De Leon is celebrating her design anniversary which means a big "Congrats to Mye!!" and an awesome sale for you.




Her latest release is another collaboration with Connie Prince. I love when these two ladies work together. They are bound to create greatness every time. This stash is on sale right now for $5.00. A must have if I may say so!

Sweet and Simple

So glad today is Wednesday....that means the week is almost over. Love when the weekend is near...just wish it lasted longer. :-) I have a couple of things to share with you today. Forgive me if I am all over the place. I try to stay on one train of thought but the truth is I think about a lot of things all at once and if I don't get a thought out "on time"...I will forget. :-(
I am only 26 and my brain just won't function right sometimes... lol!!

First...a gorgeous new kit was released a couple of days ago by Mye De Leon Designs at Scrapbook-Bytes....."Simple Living." A color palette is released each month and all of the designers create coordinating mini-kits that are on sale for $1.00 for a week. I mean..this is def a steal. I love to mix and match set from the other designers and see what I can come up with. Here's a look at Mye's kits:






They are available for $1 each from July 12th- July 18th at Mye's store here along with a set of clusters and frames to match.

Here are some layouts I made with the kits:






I was so happy to find out that this layout made Gallery Stand-Out at DST and Layout of the Day at The Daily Scrapper.

Sometimes when creating layouts, I can get midway done and don't like them and just delete the entire file. Start and start over several times. Sometimes I feel like I get a little lazy and then there are times that I don't think...I just do... and Mye's kit was wonderful to work with...the quality of her work and the color palette made it easy.

Another great summer kit to check out is Advent of Summer by Mye De Leon Designs...





Before I bore you to death...here's a QP I made with this kit that I'd like to share:

Hope you enjoy!
Have a good day!
