ADSR 5 - More

Here are the next couple of challenges.....

Challenge 4: ATC cards - I had to do one about someone/something I love and one about my partner. Obviously Melissa had to do the same. We had to post them as ONE layout, so here are all four of them:



Challenge 5 was to use 6 elements out of a list of 12 - plus chocolate!! Here's my layout - the kit is Amy Stoffel's MMMM MILK and is available over at Scrap Orchard. The alpha is GOTTA NICKEL by Studio Rosey Posey.

The elements I was required to use are: tag, alpha, flower, staple, 2 papers, button & ribbon/string. I used 7 just in case!


And that's it for this post! I have a few more layouts coming out this week, so be sure to come back and check them out!

Everyday Love!

Hey everybody! I am not going to tell you much about what I am showing you today...however, if you run over to the STUDIO MATTERS blog over at SCRAPBOOKGRAPHICS, you will find out a LOT more about this project!

I will tell you that the kit is HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY by STUDIO ROSEY POSEY.



I will tell you that my theory behind the post is to show the people you love that you love them EVERYDAY - not just on Valentine's Day!

So take a hop over to Studio Rosey Posey and pick up this marvelous kit and create a set of your own! Thanks for stopping by!!

ADSR 5

Okay - so my friend Melissa and I signed up for the Amazing Digi-Scrap race. So the first layout was to lift your partner's layout, as well as having a picture of your partner and it had to be about your partner! They called it EASY! LOL

Anyway, Melissa and I decided to coordinate, so here are our layouts for the first challenge...

Here's mine - and yes those are her feet!! They said it could be anything - even feet - as long as it was a picture of your partner. THIS is the layout I lifted.

I used WM2's BEACH BUM kit and you can find it over at Scrap Matters.

Here's Melissa's layout - using my feet! She used kit's from Kasia - which are available over at the Shabby Pickle. She lifted THIS layout of mine.

And that's our first challenge!! You will be seeing more of these at the race continues!!

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!

CRASH!

Okay - so the computer crashed....I have finally recovered my photos and layouts (THANKS SCOTT!!! <-----he's my brother). So...I have photos - I scrap!! Here's what I have to show you today. These were all pretty much for fun! These first two, however, use templates for the brand new STUDIO NEE NEE over at Scrapbook Graphics - I have already told her that I may never scrap again without using her templates!! They are TOTALLY AWESOME so if you haven't gotten any yet, RUN RUN RUN!!!

The kit on this is Mariposa by Julie Billingsley - she is fast becoming one of my favorite designers.

This one uses Fee Jardine's Crazy 4 You - available at the Sweet Shoppe.

This last one uses Julie Billingsley's Love of My Life! Perfect for the guys in your life! I will have to get back to you on the owner of that template! LOL


And that's all my fun stuff!! Will try to be back tomorrow with some of the CT stuff!!

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!!

New from...

everywhere!! I have been a little quiet here on the blog. I am currently working on a big project that is taking all sorts of time, I have run out of ink and it should be here anyday now - so hybrid has been quiet. But I do have some layouts I can share with you, so here they are:

This month I am a Guest CT Member for WM2 over at Scrap Matters. This first layout uses her Let It Snow kit. I love it! The colors are great and the elements are just adorable! I am sorry to say, I can't remember whose template this is. I will add the information once I find it.


This second layout uses WM2's Day by Day V.1 Templates and Month by Month V.1 Kit. I totall love the bright colors of this!!




Next up is Gotta Grab It at Gotta Pixel. What you see here is from both Spinky Dink Scraps & Simply Scraps! Lindsay and Laura did almost a collab on their packs for January and this is the result! The pieces are great for just about anything.


Moment Captured is made using a KIT (yes I said kit!!) from Susan Robinson Designs. You can pick it up over at Polka Dot Plum. The kit is called Capture. Record. I totally love this kit! The template is by Studio Hillary.


Last, but certainly not least - this layout was made using a template from Studio Hillary and Flergs Tinker Toy Kit. (I love Flergs!!!) This was for the SBG Studio Matters PlayDay last week. The word art is from Elegant Word Art by Bethany over at Scrap Orchard.



And that's it for today! Hopefully I will be back much sooner next time! Stay tuned!

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.

Happy Tuesday!

Hello and Happy Tuesday to you all! I just have a couple of quick things for you today! First - ScrapbookGraphics is having a chat tonight!! It is sponsored by Studio Jen and we would LOVE if you could join us!!

Miss Kate - our regular chat hostess is off for the holidays tonight, so Miss Kim will be our hostess and I will be there with her to greet you all!! There's games & prizes, so be sure to stop by!


Speaking of Miss Kim - she made this WONDERFUL layout of my pooch!! This is Miss Lainey and she is a merle Great Dane! I was surprised to find this in my inbox this morning. I do not, unfortunately, have the credits to go with it (except I do know those nifty photo templates she used are from Studio Jen), but will update you if I can find them out!!



We got quite a bit of snow here in the Northeast this past weekend and I was able to take this photos of Lainey playing in the snow! Hopefully you are someplace warm and snowless!

I will have more to show you in a day or too, so be sure to stop back by!
