First LOs for New CT

Well, things have been VERY busy here which is why I haven't updated my blog in awhile. Have been dealing with some health issues within the family, which thankfully seem to be on the road to recovery.

On some exciting news, I'm one of the newest members of Tracy Dane's Creative Team! Woo Hoo! Check out her blog here. Here is one of Tracy's fantastic kits, Lazy Afternoon. You can purchase Lazy Afternoon and the Add-on over at Groovy Scraps. Isn't it a gorgeous kit?


Here are some LOs I made with Lazy Afternoon and the Add-on:

My Great-Grandmother

Good Friends

Letters Home

Some New Layouts and a Freebie

Well, another week has started! I am still happily enjoying my "summer" time off from teaching. I am very happy to be back into Scrapbooking once again...so I have a few more LOs to share and I pulled up the QPs I had made a little while back to share with any visitors who come here!

I'm having a bit of fun watching some older TV shows that I bought on DVD recently. Right now I'm watching the Beauty and the Beast TV show that was on in the last 1980s. I was pretty young when it was on, so I didn't watch it then, but I saw it when I was older as Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite stories of all!


I also just ordered another set of DVDs of one of my ALL TIME Favorite TV shows -- MacGyver! I can't wait for them to arrive!!!

So while I sit here doing scrapbooking things on my Laptop, you can bet that I'm watching one of those two sets of DVDs!!

Oh, and on another note -- I was looking up tutorials today so I can try and improve on my Scrapbooking skills and I found one about how to make wavy/curvy paper over at Digital Scrapbooking University HERE -- I actually succeeded, but I still need to practice a bit more before I use it in any of my LOs.

Now for a few LOs I made with Seascraps Fantastic Products!!

Now that I've shared alittle bit about what I've been doing and some LOs I've created...I have a little gift for you! Two Free Quickpages using one of Anita/Nana's Attics kit All About Me! Enjoy and please let me know what you think of them!!

A Great 4th of July Weekend and Some Fun New LOs

Well, Happy Belated 4th of July! I had a great weekend with my family. Saturday was my niece's 4th Birthday and we had a blast helping her celebrate with her Ariel (Little Mermaid) Birthday cake. We already had a "big" party for all three of my brothers kids a few weeks ago, so this was just a small family gathering. Once I get the photos off my camera, I'll start scrapping some LOs from the birthdays!!

On top of that, I've been a busy little scrapping bee this weekend!!! I did a bunch of LOs using kits from the Scrappin Freestyle Store. I loved them all so much, I just HAD so share them all!

Oh and lest I forget!! You HAVE to head over to the Scrappin' Freestyle Blog this week as my sister-in-law, Sherrie AKA RCMama Designs is the featured designer over there and you won't want to miss out on the fabulous quickpages being given away!!! So hurry on over to the SFS Blog.

The first two use Mega-Doodle Inspired's European Traveler Papers and Elements (The elements were a free give-away a while ago...the papers are available in the SFS Store)

Visiting Spain

The next two LOs also use a kit by Mega-Doodle Inspired called Cinnamon Sweetness.

Back in the Saddle Again

Well --

I basically just dropped off the face of the scrapbooking world for the past few months. The end of another teaching year and the beginning of summer vacation thrown in with a bunch of other things and I found myself with little time for scrapbooking.

I am still so thrilled to be creating for the wonderful designers listed in the sidebar! They are all fantastic. Click on their names to go and check out their designs!

Anyway, to kick off my return to scrapbooking bliss, I wanted to share some quickpages I made AGES ago using one of JannisScraps fantastic kits: Emily!

Hope you enjoy this little freebie!

I've got some other QPs for both JannisScraps and Nana's Attics kits that I made before life got a bit busy. I'll try and get those up and posted soon as well!! It's great to be back in the saddle again!
