The Stuff to Scrap Blog Train is coming!

Hey everyone! Boy is it going to be busy around here the next few days! Since it is the beginning of the month, there is SO much to tell you . I'll mention everything briefly and then you'll have to come back over the next few days for all the details and downloads...grab your coffee...here we go...

First, the Stuff to Scrap June Blog Train is leaving the station on Monday, June 1! This month's theme is Daddy and Me and I have the privilege of showing you Janice's part from JW-DigiScraps.




Here is the layout I did with Janice's kit. You can head over to JW-DigiScraps by clicking on the preview above to pick up her part and jump on the blog train. This kit will be HUGE when you get all the parts! And guess what...I'll release this as a QP on Tuesday for you so come back and see me if you want this LO as a quick page!

Second, Stuff to Scrap's next Speed Scrap (one of my favorite things!) will be tomorrow, June 1 at 9 PM EST. I'm going out for dinner, but I'm going to try to be back in time to speed scrap so hopefully I'll see you there! Check back tomorrow and I'll show you the great participation prize you will be playing for!

Third, Stuff to Scrap is releasing their new collab kit starting June 1, too! I told you it was going to be busy! I believe a QP album will be available with this new kit, so check out the STS Store for more inforamtion. I'll show you that great kit preview Monday afternoon, so come back daily for the details!

And finally, for now anyway, I'll tease you a little and tell you that Kathy at The Latest Scoop, Too has a new kit coming out this week at STS called Whimsical Spring Blossoms. I'm not going to show it to you yet, but I will tell you that all her CTs will be sharing brag book QPs with you so you won't want to miss it! Plus, Kathy will have an add-on freebie for you later in the week. Head on over to The Latest Scoop, Too and keep your eyes open for this upcoming release!

I know that was a lot of information, but there is so much going on! I can't wait to give you more info everyday so I'll see you tomorrow!

Plum Paradise Freebie is still up at JW-DigiScraps

Hey everyone...in the craziness of this past week with sick kids and water in my basement I completely forgot to tell you about this great kit over at JW-DigiScrapsCalled Plum Paradise. I can't believe I forgot because this kit is all about my favorite color...you guessed it...PURPLE! Janice did a GREAT job on this one! Head on over to Janice's blog at JW-DigiScraps and pick it up. Just click on the image to take you there and make sure you leave her some love!


and here is a layout I did with the kit. You can see many more great examples of layouts done with this kit over at JWDS.

How 'bout that Posh Baby!

I've been off the computer much of the last couple of days due to my real job and due to the fact that my county has had 20" of rain this month and yesterday we found out that our basement carpet is pretty much ruined thanks to all that rain! We've lived here for almost 4 years and never had a problem til now...this flooding business is really cutting into my scrapping time!

So tonight I decided to take a little break and check out all that I've missed over at Stuff to Scrap and I found the cutest kit for scrapping all those baby pictures. It's called Posh Baby. If you know me, then you know I don't have babies anymore. My youngest is almost 4. But if you know me very well then you also know I'm WAY behind in scrapping all my pictures. This kit will be great for motivating me to catch up on some of those cute baby pictures. This is all I need for scrapping both my baby girl pics and my baby boys pics! Take a look at this cute kit, then head over to Stuff To Scrap to pick up Posh Baby by Jenasis Design.

You can click on the preview to take you directly to Jenasis Design at Stuff to Scrap.


Come back and see me over the weekend and hopefully I will have a couple new layouts...and some QPs for some great new kits coming out next week!

A Quick Page Freebie for you

Hey everyone! This week is flying by. Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday...I think I'm losing days or something and I can't keep ahead of the game. With that said...I told you I would have a freebie for you today and although it's later in the day than I had hoped, I have it ready for you now. If you remember earlier in the week I showed you Kathy's new release, Summer Vacation from The Latest Scoop, Too. I made my 2-page layout into a QP for you so click below to download and then stop by The Latest Scoop, Too to see other layouts from the rest of Kathy's CT. I think there may be some other QPs for you there as well! Have a great day!

The Scrappy Kat has a new kit out today..

...and you HAVE to check it out! Katina, aka "The Scrappy Kat" released her new kit today over at Stuff to Scrap and she let me play with it as a guest CT. When I first saw the kit I thought it was really cute and naturally went for the sleeping kids picture. But as I started working with it, I realized I love the versatility of Twinkle. Even though it looks and sounds like a kit that you would only use with one kind of photo, it really can be used for many things. Check out my layouts below to see what I mean, then come back and click on the preview to go check out Twinkle, Twinkle, My Little Star.


Here is my "sleeping kids" layout and I just love it...

and here is something TOTALLY different...with the same kit.

Thanks again, Katina, for letting me guest CT...and everyone else...go get the kit!
