All That Glitters and QP freebie

RebeccaPSP has an awesome freebie on her blog called "All That Glitters" and I TOTALLY went overboard and used EVERY SINGLE ELEMENT of the kit for my LO, haha. Of course there's a bunch of other papers but I couldn't figure out how to use all of them. Anyway, here's a preview of the kit and below is my LO, which is available as a QP if you'd like.... just click my LO to get it. And make sure you visit Rebecca's blog to snag the kit too. Have a great day!

Just a LO...

Playing again... a simple LO. This was created using DSG's Daily Petals kit by Carena's Designs called Orange Spice.

Whimsical Garden by Rebecca PSP & QP freebie

Rebecca PSP has a new kit called Whimsical Garden available at My Life & Scraps and I had the pleasure of creating a couple LOs with it. Awesome summer colors! She uses beautiful palettes for her creations. Yeah, the pink kind of stands out but I didn't have any other pics, LOL. Above image is clickable.



I also made a QP from the first LO above. Here it is! Please leave some lovin' if you snag it. Have a great day!

RAKed again... woohoo!

I got RAKed again... this time by the DIVINE Dorothy Howell of Dorothy's Creations with her awesome new kit called Soft & Gentle. It's gorgeous with soft colors and I fell in love with it the second I saw it! I met Dorothy AGES ago... in another lifetime when I was learning about scrapbooking... and just recently happened upon her blog. Click HERE to check it out! She has CU Sunday's and creates the most fabulous kits. AND you can buy this kit now while it's still on sale at Divine Digitals. What a beauty.... thank you Dorothy!

I'm a CT!!!... not sure what I'm in for (yet)

WOW! I never even considered it before, but I was asked to be on Scrappin' Brat's creative team!! I have mixed feelings here... excitement that someone actually LIKES my layouts, but then I'm not sure I really want to make a commitment to "scrapping on demand". This is so new to me but I thought I'd give it a try on a TRIAL basis. I recieved my first kit today SO you'll be seeing a lot of her kits shown off here. First things first.... she has a SALE going on right now... February 13th - 28th!! Go check it out! Her links are under the ad below.

Introducing....

I FINALLY got to see my new grandson, Arty Jr, last night! Boy oh boy, is he a little chunker, haha! He was born almost a month early and still weighed over 9 pounds! He was in an incubator for the first 20 hours or so "just in case" but now he's hanging out with with his fellow baby friends in the "gallery"!!! I got to hold him for 20 minutes last night and fell in love... how can a Grandma not love such a darling!?! I haven't gotten the pictures off my camera or memory stick yet, but this is one that my son gave me that's ONE HOUR after his birth. You can be sure you'll be seeing more picture of him in the coming days!

And... I just wanted to show you another Valentine I created for Osten "The Dude" Wilkins. He has a challenge in the forum to get his hearts (scrap hearts!) if we "torture" him with lovin', haha! Anyway, he's my DAY TWO Valentine! A POET I AM NOT!!! Hahaha!

Happy Valentine's Day... almost

Well, I haven't been able to get to the hospital yet to meet Arty, Jr (my brand spankin' new grandson) so I've been trying to keep busy. The anticipation is killing me!!!! I love NEW babies... they're so little and cute and chubby (at least this one should be chubby at almost 9-1/2 pounds, haha). Soooo I finally got time to play with a couple GLORIOUS and BEAUTIFUL kits by Linda Walton, aka bobbysgirlforever, aka Bon Scrapatit Designs (say THAT three times fast, LOL). I just couldn't decide which kit I wanted to use so I combined them!!! You just HAVE to run over to her blog and check them out... GORGEOUS kits!!! Some pieces are from an awesome kit called "Forever Mine" which is still available on her blog... RUN!!! And the rest is from another beautiful creation called "Love Me Tender" which you can still get at Linda's store at Digital Candy for an excellent price!!

:::Note to Linda:::
If you're looking, I sooo tried to upload this to your slideshow but couldn't get past 5%... grrrr. If you could snag it and upload it that would help so much! I tried for 4 hours, LOL. THANK YOU for the use of your beautiful kits!!!!

Anyway, here it is!! My Valentine to you all! Have a great day!
