Susan is closing...

I am sad to say that Susan Robinson is closing her store at Polka Dot Plum!! I love love love her templates and kits! She has a lot of stuff coming up personally and some great opportunities so I can wish her nothing but the best!!

So first - I need to tell you to run over to her POLKA DOT PLUM Store and get her stuff before it's gone! And it's all on sale too!!

Both of these layouts were made with her kits & templates!!

This first kit is called WHO YOU ARE.


This layout was made with a kit called LOVE IS IN THE AIR.


Thanks for stopping by!! Be sure to check out the closing sale!!

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.

New Release - Susan Robinson - PHOTOLESS

Photoless!! Photoless?!?! Yes - may sound odd...but let's think about all those moments you mah have floating around in your head - and you just don't have a picture to go with it. Do you want to lose that memory? Not likely. Maybe it's just something random...I think these particular Susan Robinson templates are great for BOOK OF ME type things...and they're BRAND NEW TODAY over at POLKA DOT PLUM.

Let me show you mine:

This first one uses a kit by Jen Yurko & JayaPrems hangout and is called CAT'S PAJAMAS. It's a TOTALLY adorable kit and I used it to show my "preference" towards pink pajamas! (I don't actually have a preference - the pink pajama thing just kind of happened! LOL)

Next is a layout about Coffee - or lack there of - and it uses CAFE LATTE by SugarPlum Paperie & Tracie Stroud. Adorable kit! What I forget to say in this layout is I love coffee cups - I just never put coffee in them! LOL


Last, but certainly not least is this one:


This one might be my favorite - it uses SHE GEEK by Shawna Clingerman & Lauren Grier. I don't think you can read the journaling but it talks about how I started digital scrapbooking.

I hope you run over there an check them out! Susan has lots of AWESOME TEMPLATES in the store - so go pick yours up!

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....

New Releases for Amy!

I think I am a bit behind in my posting!! The Horror! LOL Life has just gotten into the way, so I am going to try to catch up!

Today I am going to show you the newest releases from Amy Stoffel...

This uses Amy's PRECIOUS kit and the template is by SUSAN ROBINSON:



This next one is Amy's SWEET TEDDY kit - the template is by BREE CLARKSON...




Last, but certainly not least - Amy's ANGEL SONG, which is available at Daydreamer Designworks as Amy is a guest designer there this month. The template is Lauren Meader's Around Town Tote available at Papertrey Ink.



And those all released already, so hop on over to Scrap Orchard and Daydreamer to pick them up!

Devilish Angel

I love this layout - although I think my daughter was offended! LOL Just a quick little post today - this layout was created using a NEW template from SUSAN ROBINSON DESIGNS, so you can hop on over to her store at Digital Scrap Ink and check them out!



The kit used is Shawna Clingerman's ABSOLUTE CHERRY CRUSH...it's actually a collab with Lauren Grier and Penny Springman - and it's ADORABLE!! So you can check that out too!!

See - I told you it was a quick post!

Dinky

Love this cute layout!! It's a combination from two teams!!


The template is from Susan Robinson Designs - Love of Clusters.

The kit is Shawna Clingerman - Pink Elephants & All That.

Those elephants were perfect for this layout...Okay - just a quick post but thanks for stopping by!

A shirt, a layout and a couple of milk cartons!

Hey there!! Have you been over to Scrap Orchard lately? There's a bunch of new releases going on from Amy Stoffel (and others I am sure!!) But let's concentrate on Amy for the moment. LOL

She has an ADORABLE Halloween kit which was just released called GIMME CANDY! It's adorable - and for anybody who isn't fond of the color purple (Hi Dalis!) this kit is for you!! Let me show you what I made with it:

Just the shirt (Devin was "made" 7 years ago! LOL) This is actually the first T-shirt I have tried and the iron on transfer stuff was pretty easy to work with! Nice simple directions and VOILA! custom shirt.

Here it is on my ironing board - newly complete:

And here's the actual digital artwork so you can see it nice and clear-like! LOL Aren't those elements just adorable?!?!?!

Amy also has a great new cooking kit called LA CUCINA! and it's even got FREE with purchase Recipe Cards!! It's an AWESOME kit. I think it strikes the perfect blend of "adult cute" if you will!

I made this layout with it - using a template from Susan Robinson, which is available at Digital Scrap Ink. This collection is called LOVE OF BLOCKING.

Next up - milk cartons! Strange subject, huh? Well not really - and these two milk cartons came out super cute too - if I do say so myself! Both were made using a template created by Kelleigh Ratzlaff of The DigiChick.

First up - Shawna!! This milk carton uses Shawna Clingerman's new kit - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE - it's a collab with Emily Card! It's super cute - especially if you are a runner! Since I am not, I took it a different route....

Next up - mgl Scraps & Studio Ziska. They have an amazing Halloween collab out called NIGHTSHADE. It's a cross between cute and scary. I love this one because I was able to use this postage stamp element on the front and it's got the extra piece at the bottom that I can easily personalize! So if I sent 5-6 to school with my daughter for her teachers, I could write the teacher's name right on the bottom of that stamp! I just LOVE it!

And that's it for this post! Come back...I have more to show you!

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!

Urban Dreamer & New Templates

Amy Stoffel has created the most FANTABULOUS kit and it comes out TODAY!!! It's called Urban Dreamer and I think it's my favorite!

And you see that BIG CIRCLE on my page, right? That is a new template from Susan Robinson Designs. It won't be out until tomorrow, so you have to wait, but here's the LINK so you will be ready to go and grab them! They're FANTASTIC! There's a set of four and you can put them anywhere you want to on the page!! She's got several other new releases tomorrow, so be sure to check out her shop!



Okay - back to the kit....Do you see those FANTASTIC colors!! And that alpha - it doesn't come with the kit - it's FREE!! You just need to go over to her BLOG and grab it! It's clear and shiny with a hint of pink! I ADORE IT!

Look what else I made....



Yes, it's another box. This one was created with Kelleigh Ratlaff's Pencil Box template and you can find it over at The DigiChick.

And look what's inside.....

a great big THANKS (that alpha is included in the kit) and 12 mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups! They might still actually exist (of course, I might have eaten them - I would have to check). So run on over to Scrap Orchard and grab this SUPER CUTE kit. This is one you don't want to miss!

Out of this Universe!!

You should know by now that I totally love boxes!! I could say they're the reason I live, but that would definitely be pushing it! LOL But I do have a blast making them! This little set is made using templates from The Cutting Cafe, who was a sponsor over at Pile It On! a few weeks back. Truly easy to work with.

I paired those templates with one of Shawna Clingerman's newest releases over at Sweet Shoppe Designs called Center of My Universe and came up with this little set! Truly LOVE it!

Then I made this adorable (IMO) matching card using a new template from Susan Robinson Designs, Sketchcards #1 Collection which you can pick up over a Digital Scrap Ink. I actually got a gallery stand out of this card over at DST. I might have to keep this one!

And here's the set together!! I am thinking it will make a cute gift to somebody - if I can bear to part with it of course!

And that's all for today! I am trying to get some posts done in advance on some projects I have already finished, so hopefully you'll have some reading material here for the next couple of days, so be sure to stop by soon!

New Stuff!

Well, it's release day over at Scrap Orchard and I have TWO SUPER CUTE releases to show you!!

This first one is from Amy Stoffel and it's called I AM A ROBOT! You can see all those gears on my boxes and she has some UBER cute robots in that kit too!!


Next up is for the girls in your life!! This kit is called LOVEY-DOVEY and it's a collab between Ziggle Designs & Tracie Stroud. It is SOOO adorable!! Like I already said - VERY girly!!

This one also uses Kelleigh R's Hexagon box templates! I love these templates!! How else would I be able to make such cute boxes!! She's got all sorts of great templates over at the DigiChick, so be sure to check her out!


So be sure to run over to Scrap Orchard and pick them up! You can lose with either of these kits...one of the boys and one for the girls! Can't get much better than that!!

On top of all that cuteness, I have more! lol Ellie Lash is retiring from designing - which makes me VERY sad! I love her designs! But right now, all of her designs are on sale over at Scrapbook Graphics - and CHEAP too!!

I made this layout using her Rugrats Playground kit, which is a collab with Mood Scraps. The template is from Susan Robinson and can be purchased over at Digital Scrap Ink.


And I do have another Ellie Lash layout to show you using NEW TEMPLATES from Studio Hillary, but I have lost it in the external hard drive. As soon as I find it, I will get it on here for you!

Okay - I found it....that wasn't a long wait, was it?!?! lol

This was made using Ellie's Fly Free kit! I love the colors and the elements are just perfect!! Great for those everyday photos...or, in this case, a candid self-portrait taken at a dance!

So be sure to run over to Scrapbook Graphics and check out Hillary's new templates and don't forget about Ellie's stuff - it's on sale and won't be there much longer!!
