Smooth Sailing Freebies

Did you read that title? Yes, I said freebies. As in, more than one. Because this kit is too awesome to just have one freebie for it. :)

Smooth Sailing is a new kit by Snickerdoodle Designs by Karen. It has 24 papers, 81 elements and a full alpha. She even has matching styles which you can buy separately or in a huge bundle (with the kit, add-on, QPs and brag book). Just click on the preview to grab this awesome kit at Digi Scraps Drive-In:



I just loved creating with this kit! It has so much to work with. I used the styles to create the rectangular frame in my LO:


Now on to your freebies! For those of you that love quickpages, I turned my LO into a QP for you.


And for those that don't use QPs, such as myself, I have a cluster freebie for you!


Actually, whether you use QPs or not, you'll get both freebies for the price of one click (and however many seconds 4shared makes you wait) since they are zipped up together. Just click on either preview to download.

New Release: Lola and a FREEBIE

**After you finish reading this post, make sure you scroll down to the next few posts as I have some awesome word art freebies for you that are still active**

Today I want to show you Misty O'Brien's newest kit, Lola:

It comes with 12 papers, 29 elements and a felted lowercase alpha -- just click on the preview to grab it from her store. She also has matching glitter for this kit. I just love the pink and brown mixed together. So pretty. It's the kind of kit that makes me wish I had a little girl.

But I don't. So instead, I beg both my sister and my sister-in-law to send me pictures of their cute girls so I can scrap girly pages every now and again. Here's a LO I made using a picture of my brother's family and Misty's kit Lola.


And now for your freebie! Today I have the WA from my LO for you to use. The colors are brown and pink to match the kit Lola, but you can easily recolor them to whatever you'd like. Just click on the link to download at 4shared:


As a bonus, I also turned my LO into a QP, but you have to go to Misty's blog to get the download link. :) So click on over to her blog after you grab the WA freebie and grab the QP too!

Terrible Twos Blog Train

I've been so excited for today to come so I could share with you the awesome goodies I have for you. A couple weeks ago, Flower Scraps and Nibbles Scribbles announced they were going to do a blog train with their CTs, just for fun. And it was seriously so much fun for me to play along.

But it seems silly to have you here and not show off some of the many awesome kits I get to play with. So here are a few LOs I've made in the past month using some of Flower Scraps kits (links are in credits):

Kit: Bubble Bath Buddies by Flower Scraps and Nibbles Skribbles

Kit: Surf City by Flower Scraps

Kit: Star Spangled Banner by Flower Scraps

All right. Thanks for humoring me. On to the freebie -- just click on the preview to download at 4shared.


And here's the rest of the train. Some of these talented ladies have even made mini kits for you, so make sure you check them all out. And if you get lost on the way, you can always head back to Flower Scraps' blog or Nibbles Skribbles' blog -- they have the whole list, plus any latecomers that snuck in after I posted. :)

Pickles and Ice Cream Blog Hop

Daybreak Scraps has teamed up with Girl Boy Girl Designs to bring you an awesome new collab called Pickles and Ice Cream (click on the preview to grab it from the store):

It's made specifically with crazy pregnant cravings in mind, but can work for lots of other pages. Just check out the layout I made with it (since I didn't have any prego pics to scrap):


And because we love this kit so much, a few of us have gotten together to give you a bunch of freebies. So if you're starting here, make sure you collect the rest. And if you came from Jewel's blog, then you're already a seasoned pro at this. So here's your freebie from me, some matching WA using some of the awesome ellies in the kit. Just click on the preview to download at 4shared:

New Release: Someone's in the Kitchen and a FREEBIE

Seems like forever since I posted a new release on here....So without further ado, here is Scraps by Andrea's newest kit, Someone's in the Kitchen:


Someone's In The Kitchen is a fun cooking/kitchen themed kit geared towards both boys and girls. While it's perfect to scrap all of your baking or kitchen fun pictures, it can be used for a variety of other memories. There are 28 papers, 108 elements, and an upper & lower alpha. She also has matching cardstock and glitters for the kit, which you can buy bundled together or separately.

Here are two layouts I made with this kit. You can see that it works great for non-cooking photos as well as.



And now for your freebie! I've recently fallen in love with clusters and with WA. I'm much more likely to use either of those than I am to ever use a quickpage. So today, I've made you a word art freebie, which you can download at 4shared by clicking on the preview, but if you're the type that loves QPs, let me know and I can easily zip up either of my LOs for you to use as a quickpage.

Queen of Scrap: baby layouts

There's a competition going on at ScrapMatters called Queen of Scrap. There's a winner for whoever posts the most layouts created during the month of May. Then there's also a queen crowned and two princesses that are picked by the higher ups at the store. I have no ambition to win any of those four things. However, there are also participation prizes that you can get for posting so many layouts (you have to be signed up first, but that just requires saying that you want to play).

This has gotten me crazy scrapping this month and I'm having so much fun doing it. Currently, I'm at 25 layouts for the month. That's layouts that have all been created this month. I didn't post the few layouts I had that I'd created at the end of last month that didn't get uploaded until this month.

So I figured I should share a few more here.

The baby ones:

Kit: Greatest Expectations - collab at DigiScraps Drive-In

Kits used: Wild One by Miss Mis Designs, Make a Rainbow by Scrapmuss Designs, Jungle Craze by Purely Pixels, Become a Star by Scrapmuss Designs

Kit: 2 Thumbs Up by Creations by Rachel, with elements from the blog train Movie Night

Kit: Batter Up by Colie's Corner

Kit: Pockets Full of Sand by Snips and Snails Designs

Kit: Life's Everyday Moments-Baby Boy by BlueMaige Designs and Polka Dot Chicks Designs
Template: Letter Templates by Misty O'Brien Designs

There are more, obviously. I've been scrapping non-baby pictures, as well as pictures of my niece. But I'll save them for later, just so I can get back to scrapping now!

New Release: Color My World and a FREEBIE

Scraps by Andrea has a new kit out today, which means I have a new freebie for you!

But first, the kit of course. It's called Color My World and is full of bright happy colors. Which are my favorite colors to scrap!




I've been anxious to show you my layouts with this kit because they are of my super cute niece.



And last but not least, a quickpage freebie for you! Just click on the image to download at 4shared.
