New Stuff from my Creative Teams!

I have a bunch of new stuff to show you today! I am probably late on some of it, but when the computer crashed, it took a while to get back up and running again!!

This first one is all AMY STOFFEL! She has NEW PAGE STARTER TEMPLATES in her store and I totally LOVE them!! You should know by now that I really haven't met a template I didn't like! LOL

This also uses her new kit called SUGAR PIE! It has the most adorable elements in it!! It's available over at Scrap Orchard.


This next layout is also a PAGE STARTER TEMPLATE from Amy! The kit is called CLOSE TO THE EDGE by Shawna Clingerman and is available over at Sweet Shoppe.


This next one uses a template by Haynay Designs. The kit, however, is from FISHBOWL DESIGNS! It's called GRUNGY KIND OF LOVE and is available over at Sunshine Studio. I actually worked on this as a one kit call and was THRILLED when Anne asked be to be part of her Creative Team!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! So you will be seeing more stuff from the Fishbowl!!


I love this layout!! This is one of those pictures of my daughter - she finally just smiled for me! LOL This kit is from SPINKY DINK SCRAPS! It's a collab with Misty O'Brien and is called EVERYDAY HAPPENINGS! The template is by Bella Gypsy (love her templates too!!) and both are available at Elemental Scraps!


Last, but certainly not least, is this layout. It uses both template and kit from Amanda Heimann. The template is from her YEAR IN REVIEW collection and the kit is called GLORY DAYS. I think both were perfect for this layout of Amanda & Jimmy showing off their New England Patriot jerseys!


Well...that's it for this post! Will be back with more soon! Thanks for stopping by!

A Little Behind....

Okay - the computer crashed, I lost a BUNCH of stuff - including layouts I don't think I posted. Of course, my brother - a computer programmer - is working on all that stuff, so hopefully it's not really all gone. In the meantime, I am on the new laptop and can show you some stuff I have created recently.

First I made this cute little box with Shawn's new kit OWN IT. Great for all the little boys in your life!


This chocolate holding matchbook was made with Shawna's U AND I kit. The matchbook is a template from Krisi's Creations over at Scrap Matters.


Another chocolate holding matchbook - this time for Amy Stoffel using her SUGAR PIE kit, available at Scrap Orchard.



Next up - a set of boxes using Amanda Heimann's new PENELOPE kit, available at Scrap Orchard. The box templates I used are from the Cutting Cafe.



In the next couple of days I will be back with some layouts for you. Thanks for stopping by!!

Snow, Snow and More Snow....

I have to tell you - I probably shouldn't start long term commitments - scrapwise anyway! LOL The three layouts I am posting to show you today are all using pages I created in order to do the December Daily, but didn't have what I felt were appropriate photos until now. Of course, I have to tell you that the December Daily failed miserably on me, but I at least have these layouts to show for it (and a few more that I created that I hope I will be able to put to use soon!)

This first layout uses a template from SUSAN ROBINSON DESIGNS; the kit is HAPPY FEET by Ziggle Desings - I totally adore this kit! I don't think the colors are for your average snow/winter kit.

And it was so easy - I actually did this layout at 3:00 this morning while I couldn't sleep. Of course, everything on the layout was already done - I only added the picture, date and the journaling. I might trying making my own "quick pages" more often for later use.

The second one uses the same Happy Feet kit and another template from SUSAN ROBINSON. I put this one together this morning - only needed to add the title, journaling, date & photo again!

Last one for today uses CHILLY MILLY by Illiella Designs and the template was a FREEBIE over on the Amanda Heimann Designs blog. The CT gives away blog freebies often, so if you're not subscribed you should check it out! I believe this one was made by TRINA!!

And that's it for today! Quick post and since I had previously done the layouts, they came together pretty quick too! (Well, at least they did today!) Come back soon...I am sure I will have more to show you.

New Grab Bag For Hillary!!!

Hybrid for Amanda!

I was a little behind this month on posting my hybrid projects, but I got them all up and done today! YAY!!! Here's what I have created lately...

The two I am showing you today were both made with the SANTA & FRIENDS kit by Amanda Heimann & Ziggle Designs. You can pick it up at Scrap Orchard.

The template for the CD Holder is by Mari Koegelenberg and you can grab it over at the DIGICHICK.



Next up - an old favorite. This oragami box is one of my favorites to create! It too was made with the SANTA & FRIENDS kit.



And that's it for today! Just a quick little post!

Crystal's Jumpers!

We have a new Studio Girl over at Scrapbook Graphics - Crystal Livesay!!! She calls her templates JUMPERS and the Crew had the opportunity to play with them - and boy, did we play!! I made four layouts with them, but there's plenty more inspiration over in the SBG GALLERY! Be sure to go check it out.

Here are my layouts:

Spiderman - using Tangie's HERO OF THE NIGHT (which is actually a collab with DeCrow Designs)

TROUBLE - Using Randi Oh's Be Happy:

Heart and Soul - using mgl Scraps HEART & SOUL

RIKER - Using Amanda Heiman's NOVEMBER GRAB BAG - FOR THE BOYS (A collab with Wild Dandelions)

So I hope you take a peek at her gallery at SBG! The Crew did some FANTABULOUS layouts for your viewing pleasure!

New Release - Susan Robinson

Time for a new release over at POLKA DOT PLUM!! Susan has SKETCHPAD COLLECTION #9 coming out and the CT just ROCKED these sketches right out of the water!!

Here's what I did!

This layout uses Amanda's Heimann's FALL FROLIC - A collab with Jennifer Fox.

And I did this one, using the DSD GRAB BAG from BZB Designs - who I am guesting for this month. You can now buy all the pieces seperately over at ELEMENTAL SCRAPS.

And that's it for me! You might see another one from me sometime soon...if not - there are lots of other things to see! I have a fabulous post going up tomorrow...there's a new designer coming to...oops! can't tell you! You'll have to come back tomorrow....

Tote anybody??

I am just loving this Around Town Tote by Lauren Meader!! I have made two of them and I am just HOOKED!! I think it is one of her best templates. It's big too - don't let the pictures fool you - it's about 9" in height (that's a guess - I didn't measure.)

This first one uses LUCKY by Amanda Heimann - a great digital kit that you can find over at Scrap Orchard. Now I just punched two holes into the top, threaded the ribbon through and called it closed. I can very easily until the ribbon to add my tag when I am ready to use it.


This second one uses BUCCANEER BAY, a new collab from Ziggle Designs & Megan Turnidge. It's this one just the cutest?!?! Would be great for any little boy!

I just LOVE them both! Be sure to run over to Scrap Orchard and check these two FANTABULOUS kits out!!

LITA..LITA..LITA

What do ALL these layouts have in common?!?!?!? My friend Lita created all the templates used for them! And guess what?!?!?!? Now you can get these templates too because she is open over at DIGIRIDOO SCRAPS!

So I am just going to give you some credits on the kits used and you can go and check out Lita's store when you're done and pick up some of these AWESOME templates for yourself!

Quite a few layouts for my gal Lita! Be sure to go and check her out!

One Moment

I really do love this layout! Another team collab - well, but me - not the designers! LOL The template is Amanda Heimann - I Heart Paper. The kit is Future Star by Spinky Dink Scraps.


This is practically a MINI post! LOL....oh well, there's more for tomorrow - I already scheduled it! So it's a definite!

Thanks for stopping by!

A couple of boxes and a princess...

How about a couple of boxes today?!?!? I made both of these using Kelleigh Ratzlaff's Pencil Box Collection, which is available over at the DigiChick.

I think they came out adorable!! (If I do say so myself...). This first one uses Shawna Clingerman's new BOOTIFUL kit, a collab with Christy Lyle. I must say I messed up on this one. As you will see from the next photo, the inside of the box is gray...well, I had meant of the outside to be gray (kind of like a coffin) and the inside to be yellow. But, oh well....I will plan better next time.

In looking in The DigiChick gallery, I found that Julee had made the discovery that 12 Reese's Peanut Butter cups fit perfectly inside the box. Well, I took her discovery and ran with it!! Thanks Julee!!

This second one was made using Amanda's Heimann's new kit, Fall Frolic, a collab with Jennifer Fox. On this one I decorated the front flap, printed an extra copy of the Happy Fall and popped it up and added a pretty ribbon to the top.

I then printed some pumpkins, used my 1" circle punch and attached them to the top of the peanut butter cups! Cute, huh??

I have actually done three of these at this point and might do a couple more. Would probably make great teacher gifts!

I also have a layout for you today. This was done using one of Susan Robinson's new template - available at Digital Scrap Ink! This one is from a set of four called LOVE OF SIMPLICITY. She has BEAUTIFUL templates - be sure to check her out. The kit is Cupcaking by Eva Kipler.

Hope you like them! Give the designers a lookie - they all have GREAT stuff!

PIO Plus

This is gonna be a long post, just because I feel as I start writing this that I think I might have a lot to say! LOL

First, I realized I totally forgot to post my Pile It On! post yesterday, so I am going to start there and just add to it.

So, we have a wonderful sponsor this week at Pile It On! SOFTPENCIL!! This is the second time they have sponsored us and they really have the most ADORABLE images!! See my little bat? That's my SoftPencil image.

Now, if you've been a reader for a while, you know I have gone from paper to pretty much entirely digital. This week's Pile It On! challenge is to do something 3-D. Now our three dimensional could merely mean a button, pop dots - anything that gives your project some dimension! So, me being me, I made an actual 3-D Project - in both the project, as well as the tag....take a peek:

This really is a super simple project. I made the tag only....the rest is a clear plastic cup (yup - those cheapie drinking cups you buy and throw away for a party) and the treat sacks. I bought these because they were "classic" black - although those are skulls! LOL And then I made my tag. The tag is actually on with the twist tie that comes with the treat sacks, the ribbon is totally embellishment.

And of course with all Pile It On! challenges, you need to PILE IT ON!! So here are the other challenges that work for my project:

• Pile It On - 3-D
• Belli Challenge - Halloween & Bling
• CCEE Stampers - Go Digital
• Fun with Shapes - Halloween
• Gingersnap Creations - Bling
• DareU2DigiStamp - punches or die cuts & digi image

So hopefully you will run over to the Pile It On! blog and have fun with our challenge this week.

Next up are a bunch of layouts I did yesterday - and it's actually not all of them. So if you just want to have a peek and tell me what you think if you feel like it. I have listed the credits below each layout so if you see something you like on there, you can go and grab it!

But first, I must say, this first layout uses a template that my friend Lita created. She's just started to make them and they've been MARVELOUS! So if you like the layout of the layout (lol) let me know...I would love to pass that information on to her!
