I did another Speed Scrap! and blog problems!

update: I'm giving up on these images...if anyone can tell me how to fix it...let me know! It seems to only be the previews from Pretty Scrappy.


I don't know why my images aren't working for these great kits, but I'm going to try this one again! I've been trying to change the size so you can see the whole image, but I think blogger doesn't like how I'm changing things so its just kicking out the image...

Anyway, I did another speed scrap tonight over at Pretty Scrappy. This was a late one, but I haven't been sleeping well anyway, so I might as well scrap!
I used the kit "Just Pretty" by Just Passin'Thru because I love the colors and I wanted to show you the versatility of this kit. A few posts ago I told you this was a girly girl kit...well tonight I used it for my son jumping off the diving board! So much for only being able to use this kit for girly layouts! Check it out here.


And here is the layout I did with Just Pretty over at the speed scrap.

If the images in this post work, I'll go back and fix the images in the other posts so you can see the great kits I've been using. Nothing worse than a broken image link!!!!

I finished a Speed Scrap Today!

update: I removed the Pretty Scrappy preview image of the Lazy Day kit b/c it seemed to be a broken link. Click the kit name below to see the great kit!

I did a speed scrap over at Stuff to Scrap today and I love how this page turned out! I used a kit from Chris Greiser at Pretty Scrappy to do this layout called Lazy Days. When I saw this kit, I knew I had to have it for the pictures from my husband and my daughter's camping trip last year!

Here is the preview of the whole kit...head over to Chris' store for more images and inspiration from this kit. You'll want it too!

Lots going on at Stuff to Scrap this week!

There is A LOT of stuff going on over at STS today and all this week! Be sure to join us at the scrap and chat today...(preview is linked to the STS Scrap and Chat forum for more details)
On Thursday, there is another Speed Scrap...don't know what the participation prize is yet so you'll just have to head over there to see! (preview is linked to main Speed Scrap forum. Just link for the thread that says "here for speed scrap #44)

Two Layouts to share...

Update: I've removed the preview of the Just Pretty kit beolow b/c I couldn't fix the broken link. click on the words Just Pretty below to see the kit preview at the store.

I just wanted to share two layouts I've made recently from two great kits over at Pretty Scrappy.

The first one is using a really pretty kit from Armina Designs called "Precious Mei". When I first saw it, I thought "beach" because of the weathered frames, but it really isn't a beach kit. I love the soft watercolor look of most of the papers. Head over to her store to see the full detail of this beautiful kit. I used this kit for the July Font Challenge over at Stuff to Scrap. Here is the kit preview and my layout.

The second kit I used was "Just Pretty" by Just Passin' Thru. the name says it all! Pretty colors, pretty papers, pretty embellishments...all for making pretty layouts. I used this kit for the July Garden Trends and Techniques Challenge over at Pretty Scrappy. Head over to the JPT store for more views of this kit. Here is the full kit preview and my layout.

Now I have a new kit to share with you. I told you that I'm now on the CT over at Pretty Scrappy and boy are there some great designers over there!! Every month I'll get to work with 3 different designers plus the huge collab kit that they put together monthly (I already showed you the Collab Drama King and if I have time I'll do a few more layouts with that one to show you) First off this month I used a great kit called About A Boy by Designs By Mel. It is a richly colored kit, great, of course, for all your boy layouts, but also great for a wide variety of things. I'm working on an outdoor layout using this great kit, but I wanted to go ahead and show it to you now so you can enjoy it, too!

First off, here is a look at the kit.
And here is my layout...I love the handprints!
