LyllahRaven Designs: {Gentleman's Quarterly}

My little one equates a mustache with her Papa because he's the only one she knows with a mustache. So, when she got a fake one from the vending machines, she put it on and proudly proclaimed that she was 'Just like Papa'. This LO was created using Gentleman's Quarterly from LyllahRaven Designs.

I just love when my little ones eat Popsicles and they end up with a mustache. This is my middle daughter when she was 2 years old and eating a red popsicle. This LO was created using Gentleman's Quarterly from LyllahRaven Designs.

Regrouping

I had to make a decision because my mental and emotional health were suffering.  I had taken on too much and so I made a decision a while back to withdraw from all of my CT responsibilities.  It was becoming too much for me.  Whew!  What a huge weight off of my shoulders.  But, I missed it!!  So, this past month I promised myself not to get to caught up and overwhelmed with everything, so I accepted a new position with LyllahRaven Designs, a new designer to GDS.  I am happy to be back at one of the places that I started.  And I am happy to be back in the saddle of scrapping again, especially considering the box of pictures I have sitting in the corner of my living room.  The goal this year is to get them scanned and digitally organized.  After all, that is what I set out to do 7 years ago when I first started digiscrapping.  I think the goals are going to be focused more on creating those memories, telling the stories behind the pictures and making the books for my children to be able to sit down and look through.  No small task, but it needs to be done considering I am a slacker Mom who hasn't kept a baby book for her children at all *hangs head in shame*.  So, I am regrouping.  I am focusing on me and my family and actually preserving those memories.

Susan Godfrey Digital Designs: I Need a Hero

I have been given a spot on Susan Godfrey Digital Designs CT and I am thrilled!!  I chose to use her kit "I Need a Hero" first and it was so fun!!  I thought this went especially well with my superhero-obsessed son.  His obsession started when he was young and he has continued up to this day as a teenager.  This was a super fun bundle to work with and it was loaded with so many things.  My favorites are the alphas (because I just LOVE alphas) and I loved all the buttons!  So fun!!  You can pick up this kit at Scrap Takeout.  While you're there, leave me some love in my gallery!

Crescent Moon Designs: School Zone

Here is a new LO I created using School Zone by Crescent Moon Designs.  This is my Little Red who LOVES to color, draw and be creative.  I love the concentration on her face as she colors in every single inch of her paper.  Hurry on over to Scraps-N-Pieces where this kit is 40% off right now.

And a wonderful opportunity is available at Stuff to Scrap where you can buy Crescent Moon Designs entire store for $25!!  This is 57 products in all...a great steal!!  Anyway, that's all for me for me.  Keep those memories alive and scrap on!

More Great News!! - And a new LO

I have been accepted to the Creative Team for Crescent Moon Designs, too!  I am really excited to be working with such a talented designer.  I finished up a LO that I had been working on using her kit "Handsome Little Dude Add-On".  When I saw this kit, I immediately thought that I wanted to use it for a LO like the one I did.  It is surreal for me to sometimes look at my now 14-year old son and realize that not too long ago he was a baby in my arms.  Now here he is, a freshman in high school, eager to spread his wings!  This kit is 40% off right now, so hurry on over and pick it up!!

The journaling is the lyrics to a Primary song called "A Young Man Prepared" by Daniel Lyman Carter.  I thought it was quite appropriate because that is what I feel like we are entering with him right now.

Sweet Babe

I just LOVE the expression my little girl is making.  This was taken about a week after she was brought home from the hospital for the second time.  She had to be readmitted when she was just 3 days old due to jaundice.  She was there for about 2 days and then able to return home.  I couldn't stop taking pictures of her.  But I think she was tired of it.  This seems to say, "Please, no more pictures!".  I used Janet Scott's newest kit "Grandma's Kitchen".  It is full of fun pieces that remind me of my grandmother's kitchen and times of old.  However, it is versatile enough to be used to scrap all kinds of LOs, as I illustrated here with a baby LO.

Splash!!--and some good news!

I am really excited to announce that I am now on the CT for Janet Scott Design and I LOVE her designs.  This is the first LO I made with her "At the Beach"  kit.  I love this picture of Little Lady K and her first adventures in swim lessons.  I LOVE the teals in this kit and when I saw, I immediately thought of this picture with the gorgeous water in the background.

"Girly Girl" from Designs by Krista

On one of Kara's first Daddy/Daughter camp outs, she brought along her princess dress up costumes.  She had to look like a princess even in the dirt.  I created this LO with the kit "Girly Girl" from Designs by Krista.

Fireworks are not for Everyone

Chloe's first year of fireworks was not quite what we had planned.  Those loud noises and flashing colors were a bit much for her to handle.  She was okay once Mom held her in her arms, but for the most part, she let us know quite loudly that "Fireworks are not for Everyone".

Family Love

Oh, I just love the reds, blacks and whites in this fun kit from Designs by Krista called Love Ya.  Oh, it feels so good to be stretching my scrapping fingers and getting my creative on.  And I love the ability to capture these moments in time that seem to disappear all too fast.

Glasses

Here's a new LO I did using "Sweetheart" from designs by Krista.  My silly girls love to take the plastic lenses from their sunglasses and pretend they are real glasses.  This day they found three different pairs in car.  What an obsession they have!

A Little Late in Posting This...

Just a little late in posting this.  I have been a little busy with life and kids, but I still manage to find time to get back to the fun things in life...like scrapbooking.  It will always hold a special place in my heart.  Here are three more LOs I did with kits from designs by Krista.

Jolly Holiday

I was so excited to get a new position on the Creative Team (CT) for designs by krista.  It has been a lot of fun creating new things with her gorgeous kits.  I love the colors and the themes.  They are perfect to create a variety of layouts.  Here is a page I scrapped with her Christmas kit "Jolly Holiday".  This kit is currently 50% off!  A great steal at $1.50.


My husband surprised me last Christmas with a Kindle.  I am an avid reader; but it's more than reading.  I love the feel of a book in my hand, the smell.  He had asked me about a Kindle and I wasn't too enthusiastic about it.  But then as I was doing some research and reading on it, I became intrigued.  I received one, and I have to say that I LOVE it!  I love the ability to carry hundreds of books with me.  I love the ability to read a book while at the gym because it is lightweight and sits on the machine easily.  And, because it is digital, there are no pages to turn.  So, this is my layout about my "Kindle Obsession".
