GREAT NEWS!

I am SO excited to announce that I'm joining the creative team at Digitreats by Princess Pamela! Click HERE to see the announcement on her site.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be working with her designs as she is one of my faves. :) So be on the lookout for more postings from me here on the blog and in scrap galleries with Digitreats stuff! And if you stop by Digitreats, be sure to drop a comment that I sent you!

More new layouts

Going to make this quick as I have a killer migraine...

The 60/40 layout- Rusted staples from Julia kit, Frames from Vintage Polaroid kit and all other papers and elements from the Tina kit- all from Digitreats by Princess Pamela.


Rockstar layout- Papers and all elements from the Josh kit and Superstar template, both from Digitreats by Princess Pamela.

Inspired by mom's Patchwork Quilts

My mom has TONS of patchwork quilts (among her other antiques,collectibles, and literally thousands of cookbooks!) :) That was the inspiration for this LO. It's a "busy" one, but I like trying different things and making the occasional layout that is "out of my ordinary style". The entire layout was made with the Abby kit from Princess Pamela's DigiTreats.

Jaxon's a Computer Addict!

This boy LOVES his laptop- I mean how ridiculous is it that at 4 he has his own laptop anyway? He plays games, mostly online at Nick Jr. or Disney, and would play all day and night if we let him. Then again, with this digital scrapping, you could easily substitute my pic in the layout! This isn't a good pic of him because he's biting his lip, but its because he was concentrating so he could get to the next level! :)

Our Trip to the Beach

We took a family vacation last weekend in July and had a great time. A tropical storm was headed that way, and we almost decided to skip the trip, but since the condo had already been booked, we went and it was beautiful the whole trip! Jaxon LOVED the waves, but it wasn't Marley's gig... she much preferred the sand! :)

This is a two page layout from the beach. Sand and water papers, and alphas from Princess Pamela's Digitreats and template from Tracy's scraps.




Arrow element from Joy Crowley's Comic Junkie kit and punch alpha by Leah Riordan both available at Oscraps.


Template and sun element by Lindsay Jane Designs, Blue swirl paper by wetfish designs

Random pic of Marley

One of my boards has a challenge thread where we have to do an LO using a certain kit and this was my page. All of the papers I used came from Shabby Princess called Express Yourself and the template called Window pane is here.

Birth Announcement

One of our friends just had a baby and sent pictures via e-mail. So what did photoshop-addict Stephanie do? I made a birth announcement. I made it "smiley" and "X"ed out their names for their privacy, but I was really happy with the announcement and wanted to share it.

Birthday Layouts

Jaxon's Fourth Birthday at Ready, Set, Play! This is the Swirl Template from Princess Pamela available here. Her stuff is great! Papers and elements in these birthday layouts are from Miss Mint's Party Pants kit @ Peppermint Creative.



Here's a "Busy" birthday layout...


And here was his birthday invite and my first attempt at digital scrapping. It's not great, but it shows me how far I've come too. I was going for the comic book/superhero look, but fell a little flat. I also edited out the personal info so there are blank spots where the phone numbers, address and website were listed. :) The papers and elements are from Joy Crowley's Comic Junkie kit available at Oscraps.

Jaxon's First Soccer Lesson

Jaxon was so excited to start soccer lessons and I was ready with camera in hand to catch him in action... or so I thought. The lighting at the indoor arena was bad and I didn't have it on the setting for that, so all the pics blurred. I still wanted to commemorate the day, so here a slightly blurred LO.

Template- Soccer Superstars by Rachel at Scrapleaps. Papers from Calico Designs.

Celebrations and Holidays

This is a 2 page LO from our fourth of July. Hopefully the journaling shows on the computer... it is so much easier to read in print than on a screen. They also look so much better side-by-side... oh well!

Blue papers, overlay, fibers and brads from Celebrate at Shabby Princess. Red paper from Happy Birthday by Tia Bennett at 2Peas. Paper stars from SimplyCleanDigiScraps.
