Long time, no post!

I have been SO busy that I've had no time to post, let alone scrap. But I was home with a sick little one today and managed enough time to do a quick challenge. I LOVE Ikeagoddess's blog, especially for finding freebie templates, so when I saw she was hosting a challenge at The Meadow, and that there was an awesome freebie album for completing the challenge page, I couldn't resist. So here's my take on the First 3 things challenge: The first day that Jaxon was a brother... he was 2 years, 2 months and 2 weeks old when Marley was born. He was SO excited to meet her!

So much to do, so little time...

I've been so busy with school that I haven't had much of a chance to scrap, let alone post, but I did some LOs with templates this week to get me into the "Halloween spirit!" As a child, Halloween was a favorite for me, but lately it seems to sneak up on me and its over before I really had a chance to enjoy it... so we're going shopping early for the kids costumes and I may even get one too! :)

Somehow I forgot to add here!

I still feel like school is working on me... just too tired and feel like things are hectic, so I'm adding some LOs I forgot to put in the blog. Sorry for the short post.

Birthdays...

This one I'm really proud of because Princess Pamela featured it on her blog... so Jaxon's famous! :)

I was playing around with filters on this LO, but it turned out ok.

SAS Grand Opening today!!!

Just wanted to hop on and say I've been so busy with school that I've not posted, but I will have some LOs to share soon. In the meanwhile, go check out the Stone Accents Studio boutique which opened today. Of course you know I love DigiTreats, but this place is full of great designers and they have lots of grand opening stuff going on... go check it out (that's where I'm going!)

The kids are at grandma's...I can scrap...YAY!

We are so lucky to have 2 sets of fantastic grandparents that are both within a short drive (one is about 2 hours away and one is about 45 minutes away) AND are willing to take the kids overnight! :) In fact, I just called to check on them and my parents took them to Chuck E Cheese's today!!! I'm not even brave enough to try that one! LOL! Anyway, here are some LOs I've done this morning.

Year in Review Templates

I'm using the Year in Review Template Set from Digitreats by Princess Pamela for these layouts. I like this set because while there is a template for each month and a front and back page for the set, templates aren't exactly tied to a month. For example, the May template has flowers, so you could scrap any outdoor spring or summer pics in it... does that make sense? :) Like the layout below is the January template, but its only snowed here once in the past several years and that was in February, so I used it for February.

Recognition... I'm not used to this!

I go onto my creative team's message board and see a new post to me... I'm thinking what's this? It turns out, my Scalloped heart LO (see post below) was chosen at Digital Design Divas (DDD) as the LO of the day for August 17th. :) They also give a Shout Out at DigiShopTalk (DST) to announce it and I get a gift card for their boutique. Glad Beckie found it and brought it to my attention! I LOVE our CT!

And my latest CT LO using the Josh kit from Digitreats by Princess Pamela and the Basic Blocks template freebie from her DigiTreats blog was featured on her blog. Jaxon thinks he's famous! :)

I started digiscrap just so I could do something with all of the digital pictures sitting around unused on my computer. The idea that anyone else would like what I do, let alone recognize me for it, is unreal. :) It made my weekend!

A bunch of DigiTreats LOs...

I am having SO much fun, and learning SO much more, on our new DigiTreats creative team. All of the girls are great and even tolerate my dumb questions! :) Be sure to check them out too on the DigiTreats blog where Pamela has great freebies often!

I just love it... and getting free stuff from one of my favorite designers isn't bad either! :) And I just "treated myself" by getting the Wacom Graphire4 tablet (to be fair, they have it at Circuit City and if you order online you get a $50 Mail-in rebate, so I was just trying to be frugal! Ha ha!) It is too cool and I'm hoping I'll be able to use my own handwriting and doodles soon once I get the hang of it.

Here are some LOs using just DigiTreats stuff:
First the same template used 2 different ways. Credits: Beach kit and get dirty page from My Boy Templates kit available here

This LO is from Jaxon's birthday, I may flip the LOVE and my quote though... got to love templates for ease of use! Credits: Scalloped heart template, part of the "My Girl Templates" kit, yellow fabric paper from "Julia" kit, other papers and word art from "Beautiful" kit, and star brads from "Little Astronaut" kit all from DigiTreats by Princess Pamela available here


Hope you like them! :) More to come...

GREAT NEWS!
