Let's see...it has been quite awhile since I last blogged. I do have a good excuse though! We've moved from Georgia to the Mountains of Virginia. We are still getting situated after two months-with plenty of boxes left to empty. The good news though is I am now WIRELESS-woo-hoo! So now I can be ANYWHERE in my house and be online. Love that!

Now let's get down to scrapping business.

Lookie Here:

A brand spanking new scrapbook site has just opened its doors. Digiridoo Scraps on the web. You are going to LOVE this place-with lots of friendly people from around the world sharing their creations, advice, opinions, and techniques. The official GRAND OPENING won't be until June 5, but head over there now and check out the GALLERY, BLOG, and SHOP. You can even get this AWESOME mini-kit created especially for the occasion by Bree (click on image to view how to get this amazing little freebie).

I've got lots of new stuff to post-so check back soon!

Layouts, Layouts, Layouts and a MOVE

Wow-has it really been over a month already? We have lots going on-selling our house, buying a new one, getting ready for a BIG move to Virginia. Leaving the close friends I have made here in Georgia-to go where I do not know a soul. On the bright side, I will be eight hours closer to my extended family-something I am thrilled about!

Still, I keep scrapping. It is my refuge right now!


So here's some new stuff I have created in the last month or so.


First, from this AWESOME new collab kit Itty Bitty from Erica Zane and Britt-ish Designs (I just love the brown, pink and blue color combo in this one)-


Here's one I did of Nathan at five days old-
And one of Erin right after her birth

Sya's Blueprints released this new boy kit-The Boys are Back! This one is tons of fun-with bold, bright colors and lots of brown shades. There is an awesome premade cluster too.

Here's one I scrapped of Nathan and his first wheelchair.



Sya also released a new template pack this week-called Room for Photos (set 2)-so for all of you Project 365 gals-this one can fit 7 photos on one page-WOO-HOO! You can also pick this up right now in the ScrapMatters shop for only $1.




Since I scrapped both Nathan and Erin's baby pics this week-I thought it was only fair to do a Gigi page as well. I used some extra paper instead of 7 pics-so these templates are WAY versatile. And isn't this kit just GORGEOUS...it's called Secret Sage by Erica Zane.

Courtney Wilson also has some new stuff-and she's now selling at The Digichick in addition to Plain Digital Wrapper. Be sure to check out her chore chart kit called Brownie Points and the coordinating kit called Little Giggles. She also has the boy versions Beware of the Boy and Get the Job Done too-so be sure to check those out.

Here's one I did using Brownie Points and Little Giggles-great colors in these kits!






And finally, here are more of my latest creations for your viewing pleasure!

Pretty Grungy

I am so loving this new kit by Scrap'it Designs by Brianna Cox- You can get it at ScrapMatters and Snap and Scrap right now!

Here's a new page I scrapped with it recently (I took these pics with my New Nikon... I think they came out great if I do say so myself). I also used another Dynamic Duo template by Sya' s Blueprints for this one.

Scrap'it Designs Blog Train

Hello..Hello! Welcome to your next stop on the Quick Page Blog Train for Scrap'it Designs AWESOME new kit-Lavender Mint-berry Cream. You should have just arrived from Bree's Blog (if you missed it-be sure to go back and get Bree's FABULOUS pages).

Next stop on the Blog Train is Sharon-so OFF you go!

A few of my recent pages

This one is using Sya's BluePrints new kit called "It's a Girl's World" available only at ScrapMatters-so go pick it up!

This is one of my most favorite LOs EVER! I used Sya's Going in Circles Set 2 Template and much of Danielle Young's Wonderful Wizard Kit for it

This LO of Gigi was made using Scrap'it Designs by Brianna Cox's new kit called Ferntree Fairies-available at Snap and Scrap and ScrapMatters-I LOVE this kit

This is a really fun kit too-It's called Adorable Me by Misty Cato and Betty Jo Martin available at Sweet Shoppe Designs

Second Prize Over at DigiShopTalk

My LO of Miss Gigi at the Pumpkin Patch won 2nd Prize over at DigiShopTalk (GoldMember Kit Contest). I won $15 toMichelene Martin's Shoppe. I will have no trouble at all spending THAT!

It's been way TOO long...

I am going to try this blogging thing yet again. You see, I have Bugger's CaringBridge site-so I've neglected this a bit. But I am back...and I have a new hobby. I have gone DIGITAL-as in scrapbooking. It is just impossible for me to do traditional scrappin' right now-as I have too many helpers who like to get into everything (and eat it too). I now have a gallery of my artwork-and the link will be over on the right for your viewing pleasure. My goal is to get 3 digital layouts done per mont-that will give me 150+ a year. I will then get the finished layouts bound in a Shutterfly book. How fun is that?

Until Later...here's a sampling of my latest efforts-Enjoy!
