Just Being Creative

Hello!

These are the rest of the layouts I completed at last weekends crop. It's crazy to think that I have 2 full days/nights and I can do is 12 layouts. Anyone else as slow are me?

Anyway there's no rhyme or reason to the pictures I picked that weekend or the products. I'm really trying to use up my back log of products and kits. Before I go to crops, I do my homework. I match up the pictures to papers and pick out a couple embellishments ahead of time. I'm all about deadpanning. Of course I still take way to much stuff that I "might" use-a girl's gotta be prepared!

In no particular order....

I tried a Page Map sketch!

I'm sure some of you know I really like to use sketches. One of my favorite places is PageMaps. I ran across a sketch contest just the other day before my weekend crop.

Here's my take on the sketch. This is my daughter Khila, this was her 10th birthday!



and here's the sketch:


I do have some exciting news to share about a NEW DESIGN TEAM I'm joining next month!!!! I'm so excited to get back into the scrappy world! I will also share the other 11 layouts I finished at last weekends crop tomorrow (Sunday)

Thanks for sticking around, I know I have neglected by blog for a long time. Heck, I neglected myself but not scrapping as much as I used to, I really miss it!

Guest Design Peeks

Hello!

I thought today would be a great day to share some peeks of the really awesome kit I  received from Scraptastic Club. Jessica asked me to be her Guest Designer for November (thank you Jessica!)

I used the Home Sweet Home main kit and Add-on. This Crate Paper--Farmhouse Collection was one of my must haves from CHA this last summer. I'm really glad I was lucky enough to get a full kit of it!

I created 4 layouts--2 double pages and 2 single pages. Here's my peeks! I will post the full pages very soon!

 I love the splattered look of the pumpkin colored mist!


 I always love their chipboard pieces!




Used the Silhouette, love that machine!!!



Thanks for visiting today!

Psst, remember me...I'M BACK...scrappin' that is!

 Hello!!!!!

Ok, I'll admit-I took the summer off of scrapbooking, blogging, etc. However that didn't stop me from buying scrap supplies, kits, or a new Canon Rebel (very excited about that purchase). I decided to put some of those kit to use and make something. Since the weather went from amazing fall days in to the 70' to a very windy day of low 50's in less than 2 days. I have chosen not to go outside today, so instead I spent some well deserved time in my scrapbook room.  Here's a couple layouts I worked on.

Kaden's First Day of Preschool 
(Which really was 3 years ago, yes I know I'm WAY behind)
This layout is made from a Noel Mignon Kit





 You Make Me Happy 
(An old Studio Calico kit)

 Playing with my Silhouette (this is the first cut out I did on it)




Celebrate Being a Girl
  ( The stamp it from Ali Edwards Technique Tuesday set-which I do a monthly sub to)
The kit is from Sweet Peach Crop Shop
  


O' Dear
(This kit is from Pink Ninjas)

 

So since I have jumped back into the scrapbook world, I'm getting my mojo and creativity back. With that news, I'm excited to say I have a Guest Design team gig all set for November. The kit is really awesome too! Full off my favorite fall line from Crate Paper and Jillibean Soup. I'm not sure if I can say who yet, but my kit should be here on Monday and I can post sneaks.

Have a great fall day y'all! Oh, thanks for stopping by and not forgetting about me!

and what's up with Blogger, I had the hardest time doing this post...ugh!
