Battle of the Creative Teams & a FREEBIE!

Have you heard about the Battle of the Creative Teams over at DigiScrapAddicts? It's a showdown between the CTs over all of DigiLand. I am on Happys Scrap Girl's Team called Happy's Scrap Girls. This weeks challenge was to coordinate with your teammates to make matching color schemes. We chose to do black, white, and a POP of color. The way this contest is running is the team with the most votes wins-so...we need you to vote for us! You do not need to be registered in the forum to vote-and you can vote HERE until Tuesday night.

Here's my layout for the week:

Happy Scrap Girl was kind enough to let me create a quick page out of it for you!

New Releases....and a family photo

Hello Hello-

Hope everyone had a great 4th! I spent it with my family-kinda low key but that's how I like things! Even got a mini-family portrait since my mom was in town! Aren't we a good looking bunch??!

Okay-back to the business of the day. Charlie's Digiscraps has this really neat kit out today-To Sir with Love-inspired by the film of the same name.

This is a must-have for all of your school photos. You can pick it up over at Enchanted Studio Scraps for 30% off right now. I scrapped a non-school photo too-so it truly is a versatile kit.




If you haven't already done so-subscribe to Charlie's Newsletter. She offers coupons and freebies in it - so definitely worth the read! Visit her blog HERE to subscribe!


Digiridoo Scraps has a new designer-LDrag Designs. Lina has just gotten back into the designing world after having a baby. I have scrapped with her stuff before when she was designing at ScrapMatters-and I just love her kits. She RAK'd me her new one-Serene Breeze-and boy is this one a real stunner! If you love purples and greens and bows and botanicals-well this is the kit for you!

We took Erin to the playground for the first time last week-and she could NOT get enough swinging. I scrapped her priceless face-

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!

Erica Zane and Brittish Designs Collab Kit "Sprite"

More New Stuff..and Layouts too!

A few new fabulous kits out-
First up....Erica Zane's Josh of the Jungle-perfect for scrapping those boy..and bugger pics!

Here's NatieBug and Daddy way back when-wasn't he so cute (still is).


Breeza's Candied Christmas is not your traditional Christmas kit. The colors are very light and summery-since Bree hails from Australia-and Christmas falls in the summertime down under. I had lots of fun playing with this kit during a Speed Scrap over at ScrapMatters-hosted by Bree. If you've never done a Speed Scrap-you should really try it. You have two hours and a set of directions to come up with a layout. The prizes are always WAY COOL too!

This is one I did of Erin from last Christmas. I love the colors on this one-and those ornaments were fun to play with!

Courtney Wilson has a HUGE new Christmas kit-The Goose is Getting Fat. The designers over at Plain Digital Wrapper, along with a few others, have a great charity kit out - For Unto Us - for Courtney's BRAND NEW nephew-a micropreemie-who is fighting the NICU battle. Unfortunately, his identical twin brother, Baby Dex , didn't survive. You can read more about this great cause and Baby Crew over at Plain Digital Wrapper and crewsjourney.blogspot.com.

Here's a page I did with The Goose is Getting Fat of Miss E.

Finally, Sya has some really cool new templates available. You can get them at both ScrapMatters and SunshineStudioScraps.


I used All Lined Up for this one of Miss Gigi at the Pumpkin Patch a few years back.

And Diane-spiration for this one of NatieBug on his way home from the hospital.
Thanks for checking in!

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.

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!
