♥ Scraptastic November Colorblind Kit ♥

good morning.  we are getting ready for the end of the year Scraptastic member birthday party on the Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kit blog and i thought i would share those here with you also this month.  it is so much fun to create and share in the fun on the members' birthdays.  we are so lucky to get to share this passion with so many people, what a blessing (as we are in the process of reflection and giving "thanks")  there were quite a few this month, so i'll share those cards in a couple of posts.

 

this month's Colorblind Scrapbooking Kit is one of my favorite kits ever.  I loved all the color and fun elements and i wanted to be at my table with it all month.

 

thank you so much for all your sweet notes, they always make my day!

happy creating♥

♥ 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!

♥wow, has it been t.h.a.t long?♥

i can not believe it's been more than a month since i have posted on here.  the last couple of months are always incredibly, incredibly busy for us, but WOW a month?  i am finished with teacher appreciation gifts for hubby's amazing staff and so now i feel like i can catch up with my blog, on a regular basis.  i have missed sharing here, but with end of school year, 4 kids, traveling basketball, secretary's day, and teacher appreciation week, it just got away from me.

do you feel it too?  the build up to summer i suppose....smile

where to start when there's so much?  how about a tutorial to start with using the 

April Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits Awake My Soul?  Now, if you don't have this kit, or if you have used a lot you may be asking why a tutorial now?  well because you may have these papers OR may have fun sequins and tags, so why not?  giggle.  AND, it gives me a starting point for blogging again, a tutorial, yeah, that's it....giggle

here's the card i created with the tutorial

 

and here's a step by step picture tutorial to create this card or a similar one

 i can't wait to catch up in the blogging world.  

hugs!

♥ 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

 deets of the challenge:

ONE RANDOM winner will be selected by the dt to receive a $5.00 Paypal transfer from me!

(you may create as many cards as you like, the more entries, the more chance of winning.  when finished with your card(s), please link your cards in this post

******BONUS******  you can earn a bonus entry!!!!!!

to earn a bonus entry, use the sketch above AND the manufacturer label strip from one of your patterned papers in your kit or the papers you are using somewhere on your project/card.
