Wizarding Magic Blog Train

Hi all! Are you loving the blog train? If you started at the beginning, you would have gotten here from Katie's blog. If you're just starting, never fear, you can jump on here or head to Haynay's blog to start from the beginning.

In case you haven't seen it already, I want to show you the awesome new collab that inspired the blog train:


Here's a LO that I created with this kit:


And last but not least, your freebie! It's the cluster frame from my LO. Just click on the image to download at 4shared.


Now on to the next stop: Kendall's blog. Enjoy the ride!

Scrapping School Tomorrow

Hi all! Just wanted to let you know about a great event starting at Digi Scraps Drive-In tomorrow. It's Scrapbook School!


There will be lots of great tutorials on scrapbooking, and after each tutorial will come a challenge where you get to try out what you learned. If you complete the challenges with DSDI's new Scrap to School kit, you'll be entered into a drawing to win prizes. But you don't have to use the kit to play along.

So make sure to stop by DSDI tomorrow and learn how to scrap (or scrap better) with us!

Space Cowboy

So the point of scrapping is to do something with those millions of photos sitting on my hard drive, right? Right. Except sometimes I take pictures just so I can use a cute new scrap kit. Such is the case with Melly's Scraps new kit Space Cowboy:


Just love this kit! (Click on the preview to grab it at Digi Scraps Drive-In.) And my kiddo loves Toy Story. He has a Buzz doll and recently got a Woody doll that he plays with all the time. I just hadn't gotten around to taking any pictures of him playing with his toys since he'd gotten Woody.

But once I saw this kit, I knew it was time to remedy that situation. And of course, my son is always willing to pose for a few shots for me. I'm glad to have this moment of his life now captured.


It's funny to me that I started scrapping to do something with all the pictures I have of my son, but now that I scrapbook, I take more pictures just to scrap with!

New Release: Happily Ever After and a FREEBIE

Andrea (of Scraps by Andrea) is back in full swing! After having a new baby girl, I was eagerly anticipating her first kit back to be super girly and she has definitely exceeded my expectations with the cutest kit, inspired by her daughter's sleeper. It's called Happily Ever After:



The clip art is included in the kit, along with 22 papers and 90+ elements. Click on either preview to grab it in her store at Stuff to Scrap. She also has matching cardstock and glitter styles, which you can buy in a bundle with the kit or get it separately.

My favorite thing about this kit is that, as girly as it is, it's also perfect for scrapping boy pages. Here are two pages I made with it: one of my niece and one of my son.



And of course, last but not least, I have a freebie for you that I made with this new kit. Two different frame clusters, one pink and one blue. Just click on the preview to download from 4shared.

Christmas in July

So I'm just now getting around to scrapping Christmas pictures. Check out this awesome kit by AnDi Designs called Holiday Sparkle:


It has 24 papers and 36 elements all waiting for you to add your holiday photos. You can grab this awesome kit at Digi Scraps Drive-In.

Here's a LO I did with this kit from when we went to the Jubilee (I think that's what it's called) in St. George.

Speed Scrap Fun

Just thought I'd drop in with a reminder that I'm hosting a speed scrap at DSDI tomorrow (or possibly today depending on when you read this -- either way it's Thursday) at noon pacific, 3 EDT.

Check out the pages I've done at the speed scraps this week:

Kit: I'm Hot by Jen C Designs

Kit: In the Purple Spotlight by Misty O'Brien Designs

So come out and join me for some fun!

DSDI Happenings

There's lots of fun going on at Digi Scraps Drive-in right now. First up, they have a daily download where you can download bits of a kit each day until you get the full kit. I'm a little late in telling you, as today is day 6 of the download, but it goes to the end of the week so you can still grab a lot of great pieces.

Here's a LO I made with the kit:


I scrapped that at last night's speed scrap at DSDI. This month they are hosting an entire month of speed scraps. That's right, a speed scrap every single day. I'm even hosting one of them this Thursday at 3 EDT (noon pacific). Instead of getting participation prizes for every speed scrap, they are awarding points and after ten points, you get a $5 gift card to spend in a special speed scrap section of the store. You can check out all the rules here. Hope to see you there!
