Father's Day Brag Book

My father's day gift to my husband was a smashing success. It was a simple brag book, but I spent time on it and he was so happy with it! I used two kits to create the pages: "Life is Good" by Gina Marie Huff and "Juicy Pop" by Creations by Rachael B.

Here are a few of the pages I created!

CT contest at Scrap Orchard - vote for me please? :)

Hello! I've been busy scrapping a bunch of brag book pages for my husband's father's day gift. Plus, I'm working on a new kit to put into my new store! :) Nope, I couldn't stay away from designing for long! lol...

I entered a CT contest at Scrap Orchard. It would mean a lot to me if you'd go here and vote for me "sharejoy" if you like my layout! :D I know there are a lot to look through... but I sure appreciate it! You can vote more than once. ;) You don't have to register in order to vote, although if you are interested, I'd recommend it. It's a great community of scrappers! Click on the photo below to view my layout in the gallery. Thanks SO MUCH for your help! :)

Want some awesome totally free scrapkits?!?

I've been spending a lot of time over at DigiscrapAddicts. There is a contest going on called "So You Think You Can Design?". It's now week three and there are TONS of free kits! Really really nice kits. Like, I can't believe they are giving them away for free!!! Amazing!!! I haven't even had time to scrap, I just keep downloading new kits like a maniac. I'm addicted to DigiscrapAddicts! lol...

Some of the Designers participating: Flergs, BZB Designs, Faith True, Redju, Jadyday Studios, Amy Sumrall (who is my new FAVORITE designer). You've got to check out Amy's blog and see her super cute colorful doodley kits. SO CREATIVE!

You will need to register at the DigiscrapAddicts forum to get into the free products, but it's just like registering for any normal forum. Nothing scary, no catches, just lots of COOL scrap stuff.

Make sure you clear out some space on your EHD! lol. And try not to hyperventilate.

My poor neglected blog...

This is just a quick blurb to say that, yes, I am still alive! The kids are thriving (with the exception of a broken collarbone which is healing nicely). My job is going well. I graduated with my masters in counseling psych. And yes, I'm still scrappin'! :)

A few new layouts:

If you have been downloading the monthly free papers, here is the continuation of the series. Click here to download! Sorry, the link has expired. You can still purchase them from my store!

Time to scrap! :)

My sale is officially over and my products have been closed out. If anyone would like to contact me about one of my kits that is not available for sale anymore, feel free to contact me at joysolano at yahoo dot com!

Sunday night, I finished up one of my last classes before I graduate with my masters! So that freed up some time last night, so I could join the April Template Challenge at Pretty Scrappy. It was SOOO nice to have time to scrap my own photos! (Join up, it's running until the end of April!!!)

Here's what I came up with:

One of my twin sons REALLY enjoyed his chocolate ice cream last week. :) I think the layout turned out pretty well.

One last plug

Hey all! I hope you've been nabbing my freebies!
I just wanted to put out one final reminder about my $1 close out sale. It ends tomorrow at midnight! Grab things before they are gone!!!

It's the Funk-A-Licious Blog Train!

First, a reminder of my super-sale:

In other news: Wow, the designers at Pretty Scrappy have outdone themselves with this kit!!! I got to participate in this month's collab "Funk-A-Licious"! It is a-maaaaa-zing!
