SNL 59 kit is here!

Hey everyone! It's been a busy few weeks, and some of that busyness hasn't been good at all. Oh well, I have to stay optimistic, don't I? :)

Here is my SNL 59 kit! I LOVED the fun, bright colours used this month (www.snlscrappers.com). I hope you can find some use for all the doodles. Drop shadows are for preview purposes only.

Here's a layout that I made using five other kits in the SNL 59 challenge on DSP. Those brights just make me happy :)

Here's another layout I did, just yesterday in fact! I'm in love with it. It's using Carole Harden's Wild Blackberries kit.



Happy Scrapping!

Tuesday Plugs

Hey guys! Don't forget to check out SNL 59! Our colour scheme this month is called Funky Rainbow and consists of gorgeous, fruity bright colours!

Isabella of Lots of Pretty Things has an awesome freebie kit out for the Hey Mr Groundhog blog train. The beautiful dusty blues, aqua, brown, cream and taupes are just lovely! Check out the blog train of matching kits, papers and elements created by other amazing designers :)

Just So Scrappy is on day 6 of offering a gorgeous quick page that coordinates with her awesome Love You kit, which is only $1.50 in her store. She has tons of other beautiful kits in her store as well as a number of free brag book quickpages, which I highly recommend. I'm currently downloading her Hannah Banana, Santa Baby, 4th of July, and Winter Frost freebies and I plan to make brag books for my sister and nieces as belated Christmas gifts.

Check it out, I did a layout using my November in the T Dot kit! I used the photo my MIL took looking toward metro Toronto on the horizon, the very photo that inspired the kit in the first place :)


Uh oh, I'm gettin' that inspired feeling coming on! Keep your eyes peeled for more free goodies coming up in the next few weeks, including TOMORROW! Yes!!

Happy Scrapping!

Day 6 and 7

Hello everyone. I'm going to double up for tomorrow and go ahead and post Day 7's freebie. My dad is very ill and will most likely be admitted into the hospital tomorrow morning if not sooner, so I won't be around to post here.

I also have a little something else today, a gift tag template! There's a little challenge at DSP to create a gift tag, and I thought I'd share my template with you :)

On the 8th I shall have a new set of Christmas-themed Backgrounz for you :)

Here are two layouts I've done since last night. Heidi Kuester is the featured designer for December at DSP, and there are currently two awesome posting bonuses by her as a reward for making 5 and 10 layouts using her products. I think I've got 5 done so far.

Using her Merry Mistletoe Backpack and Santa's Snowflakes kit, along with Christine Gundersen's Spots & Baubles QC...


Using Heidi's Softly Spoken kit...


I really like seeing my pages improve with composition and inspiration!

Love and snowflakes,

Christmas card & Sunday Scrappers

Good afternoon from a very rainy and windy Virginia! It may be colder in Ontario where my husband is (and where I'm immigrating to), but at least it's not rainy and windy. Ick. Makes me just want to sit here and eat stew and drink hot cocoa. I have the hot cocoa, but not the stew... eurgh. Oh well...

I've made a Christmas card for everyone!



This was made using Lauren Bavin's gorgeous new kit, A Christmas to Remember. Click here to go see it in the DSP store. I really like how shiny I got the font to look; I used the Diamond Plate action in PSE8.

Sunday Scrappers is having a really great challenge for the next two weeks, which is where the Christmas card idea originated from. Check out the current thread here to read details about that and the hamper that Jill (Greenfingers) will be compiling! If you're not currently a member of DSP, I would love to see you join! It's the one thing keeping me sane while away from my husband :)

Tomorrow is when all of the free kits for Worldwide Christmas Scrapbooking Freebies go up! Don't forget to check back tomorrow for my kit! I will also be putting up my Tasty Treats kit from SNL56, in the slim chance that anyone wants it xD
