♥ funky town....yes it is! ♥

good morning!  i'm popping in to share a couple of layouts created with this month's Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits

Funky Town 

 Cool Hipster Layout

 i love all the fun tidbits and possible cut-out embellies in this month's Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits June kit Funky Town

 

 this was my eldest son being.....

well,

fun, nifty, crazy and awesome....giggle

when your kids are off to college, you do not getting many of these moments anymore.  moments we try never to take for granted but that pass us all by far too quickly.  i cherish these memories of this trip, it was fun, cool, quirky, nifty, and yes even a whole lot of retro at the antique faire.

 

 this is definitely a sunday i won't soon forget!  he is hilarious, fun, cool, hip and just makes this mommy laugh like no other

and this isn't the only layout i am going to share this month.  i create a lot of layouts a month, document our story, but don't share often, not because of any reason other than i put them in albums and the next page of the story has been added to the book.  i want my kids to read the book when i am finished, seems more fun that way, someday, it's what they'll have.  so, while i haven't shared with them, i'll share another layout here :)  smile

 Historic Auburn Layout

 i love the alphas that came in this month's kit, so fun to play with

 trending now....

triangles

 these wood veneers and saying make me giddy, perfect for my layouts this month

thanks for letting me share with you, make sure to check out the DT Gallery it's packed with inspiration for layouts, cards and YES Project Lift kit ideas too!

hugs & so much love!

♥ a new scraptastic challenge ♥

good morning!  how was your weekend?  i am fighting "the cold" and it's not a fun one but other than that, it was beautiful and enjoyable even with spots of snow at times.  

the new CARD challenge is up over at Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits this morning.  i hope a lot of you will be able to join in too, it's amazing to see the card inspiration (i have a couple in mind for a lift challenge soon already)

today's challenge: 

create a card, layout or set of TWO tags inspired by the sketch below

layout/card sketch by danni reid

 i wanted to create a belly-band kind of sketch for this week's challenge because belly-bands leave plenty of room for interpretation, can be very quick to create or as layered and detailed as you would like.  this is a sketch i, personally, will refer to a lot when creating because it's so easy to change up and have completely different cards. 

 and here is my take on the sketch and bonus challenge using the Scraptastic January Scrapbooking Kit Chasing Pavements

darling dear love card

i absolutely love the stickers that came in the kit this month.  they have tons of hearts, ampersands and arrows and they are so, so much fun to add to cards and layouts.  i also love the label stickers in the kit, they are perfect for layout/card designers alike for sentiments, journaling or layering.

and here is my manufacturer strip that came on one of the sheets of patterned papers in the kit, love this cute little strip and the type set

and here's one more

job well done card

♥ new scrappy home ♥

it is with great sadness that i share with you that the 'Nook is closing.  you can read the announcement here.  this was my scrappy home, full of friendship, inspiration and laughter and i was really feeling incredibly sad about this.  i was so sad to think that we wouldn't have "our place" to have coffee each morning and share our stories, projects, reviews, CHA faves, you name it.  it was our place for scrappy friendship and i couldn't imagine a morning without it.

then, i was blessed to open my email and find a new scrappy home and i am absolutely THRILLED!  thank you sweet jessica for this amazing opportunity to be part of your team and community, i am so happy!!

Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits

i hope you'll come by and check it all out.  The forum is amazing, all the ladies are so sweet and talented and the kits are gorgeous.  i am so thankful for such an amazing opportunity and blessing♥

hugs & so much love!
