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!!

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!!

New Blog!!

So....what do you think of the new design?!?!? I LOVE IT!! Must thank Becca at Graffiti Chicks - she was TOTALLY AWESOME to work with! And I know nobody likes to talk about money in this economy - but I will tell you - I did the research - not only did she do a FANTABULOUS job on my blog - her price was awesome too!!

The kit used was by Nikki Boudreau and is called Love You a "Bot". So be sure to check out both Nikki and Becca!!


However, speaking of Robots - you should make sure you check out Scrap Orchard tomorrow (or at least late today)...Amy Stoffel has an adorable robot kit coming out! Can't wait to show you what I made with it!

So be sure to stop back tomorrow - not only will I have something to show you for Amy's new release, but Ziggle Designs has a girly-girly kit coming out and I will have something to show you from her new kit too!!

See you tomorrow!!

Ziggle & Amy - 9/11 Releases

Okay - I think I am a little late with both of these - but better late than never, right?!?!?! Both Ziggle Designs & LCC by Amy Stoffel had new releases on September 11th and here I am writing about them on the 23rd! I guess that means their publicity just lasts a little bit longer!!


This first one is Ziggle's Spookilicious kit! It's the CUTEST Halloween kit ever!! Here I have a little bucket/basket that would be great as a party favor or to fill with little toys for those little goblins who aren't ready for the chocolate yet!!

As you can see in the photo below, I filled this one with Hershey kisses!! It was a relatively quick project. I found the template on line HERE.




Next, also filled with Hershey kisses, is a matchbox using Amy's Hanabi Hart kit! It has beautiful fall colors, yet very feminine. You really do need to check it out!!


The template belongs to Kelleigh R over at the DigiChick. All of Kelleigh's templates are AWESOME!! Be sure to check her out as well!!




That's all for me for now!! Be back soon...I'll have more stuff to share!!

A Dinosaur and a Space Robot....

Sounds like the start of a bad joke, huh? Well - it's not! Just an odd title for a blog post!! Two things for you today - first up - I am still Guest Designer over at The Shoe! And today they have their sketch challenge - here's my take on it!




It uses the new Boom Boom kit from Ziggle Designs. Isn't it just the cutest?!?! And that's my little boy, who fell asleep on the couch. In this picture, although you can't see it - he's actually kneeling on the floor!! It always amazes me how kids can sleep! Be sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team did with the sketch!!

Next up - Ziggle and Geeky Diva again! This time it's a kit called Rocket-Doodle-2 from Ziggle and a new Tag Bag template from Kim over at Geeky Diva! The Rocket-Doodle-2 kit is adorable and perfect for those little boys - no matter what they're doing! The templates for these Tag Bags are perfect for little party favors and is actually a perfect size if you wanted to use it as the "wrap" for a gift card!


So based on this post, here's what you need to do!!

• Run over to The Shoe and check out their sketch challenge...
• Then hop on over to Scrap Orchard to check out Rocket-Doodle-2 and Boom Boom by Ziggle Designs and last, but certainly not least,
  
• Skip or jump over to Scrap Matters and pick up those Tag Bag templates!! They're perfect for all sorts of things!

Thanks for stopping by....more for you tomorrow!!

There's a lot to see today!!

Happy Friday everybody!! There sure is a lot going on! There are a bunch of releases over at ScrapOrchard that I have been keeping from you! (of course, that is part of the job! LOL) Anyway, I happen to be on three Creative Teams over at Scrap Orchard and they all have a release this Friday - Amy actually has FOUR! So, here we go!

First up - Jady Day Studio! She has this adorable kit for all your backyard summer fun - with water anyway! It's called Back Yard Splash! IT IS SOOOOOOO cute!! Be sure to head over there and check it out! I used a template on this from Sahlin Studio over at Scrap Matters! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!


Next up is Ziggle Designs and Geeky Diva! This would probably be a REALLY good time to tell you that I have been asked to be on BOTH of these CREATIVE TEAMS!!! WOOO HOOO!!

This particular invitation is for both of their releases today! The kit for Ziggle (available today over at ScrapOrchard) and is called BOOM BOOM. It has the CUTEST dinosaurs you have ever seen! There are several others - they obviously wouldn't all fit on this one invitation - and that adorable stone age alphabet is in the kit too!! The papers are GORGEOUS colors - nice the bright!

The template for this is by Geeky Diva and is being released today over at Scrap Matters. It's in a set called The Honor of your Presence. It has several invitation templates, several card layouts and even comes with the word art! It's a GREAT set! Be sure to run over there and pick this one up!


Next up - the biggest project today - is a CD Calendar! I LOVE the way this calendar came out. The template set is once again by Geeky Diva (I had actually bought this before she invited me to be on her Creative Team) and all the papers and elements are being released today over at ScrapOrchard by LCC by Amy Stoffel. These kits are collaborations with Jen Yurko.

The kits are called Flavors of Life: Summer. You can buy them all together or separately. The four kits are: Blueberry Grape Smoothie, Cherry Lime-ade (which I think is my favorite), Raspberry Lemon Zinger and Strawberry Orange Crush and are all available today over at ScrapOrchard. I would recommend getting all four!! They are SOOOO versatile and CUTE too!



And last, but certainly not least, another invitation using The Honor of Your Presence by Geeky Diva and Sunken Garden by Studio Ziska!

This would be a very elegant invitation for a wedding. The colors and papers in the Sunken Garden kit are GORGEOUS! I just created the invitation using the Geeky Diva templates, printed it, mounted it onto kraft cardstock and added the ribbon at the top! Just gorgeous (If I do say so myself), simple, easy and quick!!


I'm not really sure if I can say "that's it" for today - I am thinking it's a LOT!!!
Thanks for stopping by - there definitely won't be as much to see tomorrow!
