Wyld Web Designs is retiring :(

2010-01-18T21:40:00.001-06:00

I'm really sad that she won't be making any more of her amazing kits, but she's having a huge retirement sale. Make sure you grab some goodies before they're gone!

*excludes collabs*

And, if that wasn't a big enough sale, she's throwing in a grab bag with every purchase of $3.00 or more!

She will be sending the links to you manually after your purchase, so please be patient, and make sure you include a valid email address with your account!

Finally, don't forget that if you make any $4.00 purchase in the store, you get this fantastic Gingerscraps January Grab Bag for only an additional DOLLAR!

I love Junior!

Boot Camp

2009-07-28T22:08:00.000-05:00

I've been doing a lot of scrapping at Ginger Scraps the last few months. They've been doing a speed scrap every day, which keeps me pretty busy, and uses up my photos pretty fast lol. I also participated in their Boot Camp and Officer Training. Now we're doing Scrapping Survivor. I'll post my layouts from most of these events later. For now I'll just do Boot Camp. I learned a lot, but I still need practice on some of these techniques.

This was my LO for the clustering assignment.

This was my LO for the white space assignment.

The Seaweed is Always Greener

2009-06-07T19:22:00.000-05:00

I'm now addicted to several scrapbooking forums, and I've done over 100 layouts. I doubt that I'll ever get them all uploaded here (and you probably don't want to see that many, anyway). I'll try to post a few random ones each week, if I can remember to update that often.

I still love Go Digital Scrapbooking, and my other new favorite sites are Ginger Scraps, Brownie Scraps, and Digi Scrapbook Mania.

I love this collab kit from Graham Like the Cracker and Wyld Web Designs. It's called The Seaweed is Always Greener, and I received it as a RAK! Thank you, Jen and Char!

You can get it at the Ginger Scraps store.

Here are some layouts I've done with it:

I was so thrilled to have the chance to try out this new kit by Misty O'Brien. It goes on sale tomorrow in the GingerScraps Store.

I just love the soft, magical feel of these papers and elements. There is a huge variety here, so you can scrap a lot of different memories.

But wait! There's more! Misty is also giving away this great freebie on her blog this week. Click on the preview to go to her blog and download it.

Speed Scraps!

2009-03-28T11:09:00.000-05:00

I love speed scraps! In a speed scrap, you're given 7 instructions in an hour (1 every 10 minutes) and you follow each of the instructions to complete a layout. These layouts are from various speed scraps:

I entered the Supreme Team contest at GoDigitalScrapbooking. I only made it through 2 rounds. Here are my entries. I made this with "Your Day" by Dani Alencar.

March layouts

2009-03-27T09:55:00.000-05:00

I've been pretty active on GoDigitalScrapbooking this month, so I have quite a few layouts to share. I'll break it up into several posts.

I made this for the March Decorate Your Desktop challenge on GDS, using Andrea Gold's "Brothers" kit and "Desktop template 10" by Christy Skaggs.

I used the same kit for the Sketch/Template challenge, and Andrea's Template #53, side A.

I think it's time...

2009-03-26T20:42:00.001-05:00

I decided it was time to start a blog to show off all my digital scrapbook layouts. I've become obsessed lol. I had to buy an external hard drive to hold all my digital photos and the hundreds (thousands?) of scrap kits I've collected. It's insane! And I love it!
