I did a speed scrap tonight. There were lots of items to be included, but I got them all in. I like the way this one turned out.
The kit I used this time was HAPPY TRAILS, by Ziggle Designs at Scrap Orchard. This kit is fun to work with.

SENSORY OVERLOAD

Fall colors are great and the layouts are beautiful, but this kit is really refreshing after all the dark tones.

SENSORY OVERLOAD

by

POLKA DOT PLUM

is a true feast for the eyes! What a versatile kit with multiple possibilities. Birthdays, hobbies, collections, celebrations, sleep overs, and even that batch of summer photos you just found -- all these and more can be displayed using the 18 colorful papers, over 75 clever elements, and 2 alphabets. This kit is not only striking, it works for both boys and girls and is just plain fun. I can't wait to try it out. You can take a closer look by clicking on the picture to go to Sunshine Studio Scraps. Check it out for yourself.

CLEMATIS

DAMASK ROMANCE is one of my favorite kits made by Kiki Halbert Designs. You can see more details at Scrapbook-Elements. Just click on the preview picture to take a closer look.

This is one layout I made using Kiki Halbert Design's DAMASK ROMANCE . There are plenty of unique elements in this kit and I had lots of fun trying them out.

Time to think about holiday photos

This kit would be great for those fall or Thanksgiving photos. Wouldn't it be fun to have pictures of Aunt Martha's green bean casserole or Grandma's sugar cream pie? Mmmmm. Add recipes as you record memories for your children. Click on the picture here to get a closer look at what this kit by Polka Dot Plum has to offer at Sunshine Studio Scraps.

SOME FAVORITE KITS AND PHOTOS

Both these kits can be found at PLAIN DIGITAL WRAPPER.

COOL NIGHTS AND BLUE SKIES

CRAFT BASKET FINDS

I actually took these photos quite a while ago, and it was such an awesome site that I have always wanted to scrap it. I needed just the right kit to do that, of course, and found two that work together to finally do the photos justice. They are both by Kiki Halbert Designs. You can click on the previews above to look at the kits. They might be just right for something you have been waiting to scrap.

Love is.....

This verse has always been one of my favorites so I decided to use it in a layout. I used parts of 3 kits from Kiki Halbert Designs at Scrapbook-Elements. Click on the links under the layout to take a look at each of the kits. They are really great for either elegant or grunge layouts. You'll be seeing more of them in coming layouts.

AMETHIST NIGHTS

DAMASK ROMANCE

FOR SENTIMENTAL REASONS

Amethyst Nights

What a beautiful new kit Kiki Halbert Designs has posted at Scrapbook-Elements.com. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect to display a photo of my granddaughter in her purple velvet dress. She has always loved wearing dresses, so for her third Christmas I found several really frilly and dressy ones. I discovered that she loved to go to the mall and try on dresses and model them. If you have a little girl in your life who likes dressing up, give this a try. I had more fun than she did. This layout shares part of our adventure. Click on the picture to see the kit at SE.

SUBSCRIBE TO POST

I discovered the way you can subscribe to my blog. At the very bottom of the page is "Subscribe to Post." If you click there it will let you get messages in your Favorites section telling you there are new posts. All of it is free and I haven't had any problems with the ones I have subscribed to. If you prefer not to be linked, just check back here to see what is happening here.

Special Times

There are moments in our lives that we treasure forever. This layout shares one of those times. My son captured his wife and daughter resting when she was about three weeks old.

Time flies and I am sure thankful for cameras!

More fun digiscrapping

There is a really cute new kit at Sunshine Studio Scraps. Denise Liemert created an adorable group of mice with all sorts of elements and papers where they can snuggle along with your photos. I am not usually fond of mice, but these little guys are irresistable.

Just click on the picture to take a closer look and make it yours.

Here is a page I made for a Speed Scrap. It is the first chance I have had to use the kit RASPBERRY ICE designed by Janelscraps. It was lots of fun to work with.

There was another challenge asking for a layout showing what October was like where your home is. Here in Indiana there are just too many beautiful scenes to limit to just one photo. Here is the collection I displayed.

I made this layout using Lliela's kit FANCY FREE from Sunshine Studio Scraps.

Another I created using Sunshine products was Florida Fisherman. The paper and first alphabet were from the kit Ashley Rose by Kelly. The second alphabet was from Sea Spray by Beckie Wallace.

That's it for now.Time to get back to creating.

Busy Weekend

One of the things I enjoy about digital scrapping is that it is a lot easier to change my mind or correct mistakes than when I used paper. There would be a very large box of scraps if I were not able to hit my favorite keys -- Control Z! It allows me to try things, delete, and then try something different. Most important of all is rememberingto SAVE the things I do like!

The first layout I did this weekend displayed a picture of my mother. I used Kiki Halbert's CRUSHED PLUMS. You can find it in her store at Plain Digital Wrapper, or just click on my layout and it will take you there.

For my next layout I used another kit from Kiki Halbert Designs. It is called TIMELESS, and is found at Scrapbook-Elements. Again you may click on the layout for a closer look at the kit.

Finally, I'd like to share a layout I did for a Speed Scrap. These are lots of fun to do. At a designated time, digital scrappers from all over the world meet in a chat room and get instructions for creating a layout. I was once in a group with ladies from Mexico, Australia, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, and a variety of other places. Directions are given every ten minutes by a moderator. During this time you may work on your layout using any materials that meet the guidelines. Most of the participants also chat during this time. I keep busy going back and forth from my work to the chat. Several of us have been in these together and I feel that I have made some great new friends. This continues until you have 6 instructions. You then have ONE HOUR to complete and upload your project. At that point we are able to share them and get lots of "love" for our work, while offering praise and discovering new ideas from the others. Here is my project. I used parts of 3 kits from Sunshine Scraps Studios, Delicious, Anchors Away, and Beckie Wallace's Kismet. I named it A LITTLE BOY'S TOYS and featured my puppy, Fred.
I have a new assignment as a guest on Kiki's Creative Team for this month. This is really a lot of fun. I want to say a huge Thank You to my mentor and friend, Janel. She has taught me so much and in a really short time. Check out her blog; it is awesome!

Kiki's Biggest Fan

For the month of November I am on the CT for Kiki Halbert's Designs. I won this honor by competing in the Kiki's Biggest Fan contest. This meant identifying the name and store for 20 of Kiki's designs, an easy task since I already had many of them in my collection. Having already created several layouts for challenges on her blog, it was really exciting to be doing it "officially." Here is my first official layout. I used the kit "Glimpse of Twilight" which you can find at Scrapbook-Elements.
