New from Amy Sumrall and Pamela Donnis

It's been awhile, eh? Sorry about that. I am really trying to get back into a dependable routine after that nice long Christmas break!

First off, here's a teaser of something BIG that is coming soon:

Amy Sumrall has been busy releasing a bunch of new items over at the-Lilypad! Here are her January BYOC items (images are linked):

I loved the bright colors!

Funny Flowers by Amy Sumrall came out this past week too. It's full of doodle-y goodness!

My spin on the kit:

I will leave you today to admire this new release, Santa's Workshop, from Pamela Donnis at the Digi Chick.

I loved this kit! I plan to do quite a few more layouts with this kit!

New CT gig! Pamela Donnis!

I was accepted onto Pamela Donnis' Creative Team! What a great Christmas surprise! If you haven't seen her fun doodle-y designs, you really must visit her shop at the DigiChick. She makes the BEST felties!

Here's my first project! I used Doodled Calendar 2010 by Pamela Donnis and Homemade Happiness kit by Pamela Donnis and Danielle Engebretson. I'm hoping that having a cute calendar will help me to write things down and not be quite so forgetful...

Have a Rockin' Christmas!

Hope your Christmas was a good one! I have a new little kit over at Bouquet of Pixels. It's on sale Dec 26 for only $1!!! There is a big after Christmas sale going on at the store. Head on over before it's done!!! :) Click the photo:

This one is also on sale! Great for Year in Review or Project 365 layouts!

New Baby

Yes, there is a new baby in the family, a new little nephew for me! Congrats to my sister and her husband! :)

When I was deciding what I could use to scrap the first photos of little Caleb, I found just the kit. Michelle Underwood's Sweet Autumn page kit. I just LOVE using kits for purposes other than the obvious theme. The pastel colors worked just great for a baby layout!

New from Michelle Underwood - Baby It's Cold Outside

New kit out today from Michelle Underwood at 2Peas! I love the colors in this one, it totally matches my aqua/brown/off white living room, lol!

The tattered, worn realistic papers are fantastic. There are two versions of many of the papers, a png "torn" one and another full 12x12 jpg. I love having options!

This is another layout I created using an older kit. I don't have girls to scrap for, so I had to scrap myself. It's an interesting challenge to scrap a photo of yourself. If you haven't ever done it, you should try!

Another CT gig!

I'm feeling pretty lucky, because my two favorite designers have opted to allow me to create for them! :) I was a guest CT member for Amy Sumrall last month and she is letting me stay on! When I say these are two of my favorites, I'm not exaggerating at all.

I've loved Michelle Underwood since I started scrapping. The first two kits I purchased were by her, and still two that I adore! :) She has an easy grungy feel to her work and it fits with my scrapping style very well. Her kits are incredibly versatile and the colors she choses are fantastic.

I discovered Amy Sumrall when she participated in DigiScrap Addicts' "So You Think You Can Design" competition this past summer. (By the way, GREAT place to hang out!) I developed a quick obsession for her doodley bright fun kits. I began collecting every kit I could get my hands on!

So the point of the story is that I'm really excited and feeling quite privileged to be on two CTs that I am so proud to be a part of! It will challenge me to keep scrapping my photos! I love that.

In other news, the new November BYOC (buy your own collab) at the-LilyPad was released today! Here is Amy Sumrall's contribution (images are clickable):

Here's a layout I created. Perhaps the use of the Halloween clay baubles is a bit silly, but it works for me:

New CT gig!

I have been a fan of Michelle Underwood's designs since I first discovered the digi-scrap world a year and a half ago. Imagine my excitement when she had a CT call. :) I applied and was lucky enough to get accepted!!!

Michelle's new kit Vintage Holiday Memories came out yesterday and it is quite honestly one of my favorites. That is saying a lot considering I own over 30 of her other kits! Take a look and see for yourself:

The beauty of the kit is that it is incredibly versatile. It's not just a Christmas kit. It have colors that can be used for fall/Thanksgiving/Halloween layouts too. And I used it to scrap my boys!

I also used this kit on a special project that I did this week. The layout below was created both as a thank you and also to introduce our family to a man that we recently met who was a paramedic that saved my husband's life over 30 years ago.
