NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW! NEW!

That’s right, A NEW KIT  from Polka Dot Plum! You are going to love HIPPITY HOPPITY!

HipHop500Spring is here and it's time for snapping photos of all the flowers and budding trees, not to mention the growing youngsters. Before you know it, the kids will be hunting eggs and dressing up in their finery, and you'll have even more pictures to scrap. By the way, are last year’s shots in your scrapbook yet? Either way, this new kit with its shabby things... doodly things... cutesy things... is perfect for spring scrapping. Flowers, flairs, ribbons, clouds, and a sun, are just the beginning. Doodles of butterflies, bees, a bunny, a chick, and plenty of colorful eggs are only part of what you get. With 20 papers, a full alphabet, and lots more, you'll have just what you need for your spring layouts when you make  HIPPITY HOPPITY yours. This kit will be available at SCRAP ORCHARD, 12:01 a.m. on Friday, March 27.

SPEEDY LAYOUTS AT SPEED SCRAPS

Last night at 11 p.m. the ladies at Sunshine Studio Scraps started working on a Speed Scrap. What fun those are. Every 10 minutes for an hour the hostess gives a direction. Once she is finished we have one hour and 15 Pixie2 minutes to complete and post our layouts.

Believe it or not, there is lots and lost of chatting going on during this time. It is amazing how much some folks can accomplish while the are typing. I just try to look back every once in a while and see what they are discussing. Fun, Fun, Fun! This is what I managed to accomplish. It is my sister’s first poodle, Pixie. Quite a fashion conscious girl. I used BABAMA MAMMA, the new collab by the SUNSHINE STUDIO DESIGNERS. Click on the picture or the BOLD WORDS  to get a closer view of what is there. This is an awesome kit!

Lots of Great New Things to Share

First of all I am starting to work on some of my Oregon trip photos. We sure had fun seeing this awesome country. TRIP

This was taken through the front window of the RV. Our chauffeur was extremely accommodating, taking us most anywhere we want to visit. Watch for more pictures soon. This layout was created using ROAD TRIP by POLKA DOT PLUM. Just click on the BOLD WORDS or the layout to go take a closer look at the kit.

SO BRAND NEW IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A NAME!

Polka Dot Plum is getting ready to lauch a darling new kit. They
are still pondering ideas for names. I can show you a sneak peak though. First is a birdie.


Every time they make a kit I think it is my favorite -- till they make the next one. This one is really special though. IT HAS TURTLES IN IT!!! Being a turtle collector, I can tell you they are difficult to find. Check this one out!!!!


Want to see one more? Here is another cutie, and these are just the flairs!

Now you see the colors and the style, watch in the next few days for the entire kit. I can't wait!

I have lots to tell you about

We have started some new challenges at Sunshine Studio Scraps and I will be working with Amanda to provide either a Lyric or Word Art Challenge each Tuesday. Amanda found a darling song called Grandma and Grandpa and we used it for today's challenge. Here is my layout.

Grandpa Ken is a very special man and this family has truly become grandchildren to him.
I used Madam Wing's brand new kit, JUST MY IMAGINATION for this layout. You will be seeing this kit very often!
Here is another challenge I worked on called Pimp My Page. For this we were to take the very beginnings of the page provided by Jaye and add 9 embellishments. Three were to be round and only two could be exactly alike. What fun! This is my result.

The layout uses the kit #9 created by the Sunshine Studio Designers.
Hope you enjoy these. Be sure to leave a message so I know you were here! I'll be back soon.
