Lotsa cool stuff!

The votes are rolling in, and I'm enjoying the responses ;) 'Nuff said!

Mel and Vicki have another fantastic collab called "Down by the lily pond" - it's a gorgeous mix of lily greens and pondy blues :) I love it. If my life wasn't so crazy right now I'd have scrapped a few LO's. It's definitely near the top of my "To Do" list. For now, you can click on the previews to head to their blogs and get the parts.

Mel has released a new kit at iScrapbook called "Forever Love".

I loved it and scrapped one of my favorite photos with it. Here's my layout!

Erin also has a lovely freebie kit on her blog called "My Funny Valentine" Head on over there to get it! (Click the preview to go to her blog)

Snap and Scrap is having a Cyber Crop this weekend! It's such a blast with great challenges, a progressive blog challenge, games, and great company with fellow digiscrappers.

I quickly need to say a HUGE thank you for these awards! The wonderful Mel has given me some:

And then I have a couple more, and I can't remember who gave them to me :( I'm so sorry I didn't blog about them earlier, but I do so appreciate them!

Grosgrain Girl QP's!

Well, I was fiddling around and came up with two quickpages with Grosgrain Girl. I thought some of you might like them, so you'll find them further down.

I'm working on my next kit. There are so many gorgeous color schemes in everything around us, I'm having a hard time nailing one down! I'm going to start working on one soon, but if you'd answer this poll for me, I'd hugely appreciate it!

So here are the two quickpages for Grosgrain Girl!

Final part of Grosgrain Girl...

This is kind of a mixed emotion day for me ;) I have had SUCH a blast and don't want it to end. But the end of one kit, means the beginning of another, right?

Today we have the final download, the alpha.

You can get two more gorgeous Grosgrain Girl alphas at Mel and Erin's blogs, so hurry on over there.

I'm EAGER to do more collabs and learn learn learn, so if you're game, let me know!

Also, I have a Valentine's kit in mind. It's just in the planning stages, but I can tell you that it's NOTHING like this one ;) It's a lot more serious, and I think you'd be able to do a lot more white space LO's with it, since they're my favorite. It's not going to be typical, but it's not going to be so far out there that it's not usable. So please check back soon!

Thank you so much to all of you for all your support and kind words. We have a wonderful community here in scrappy land, no!?

Much love to you all...

New CU stuff, "Bring on Spring" freebie and Day two of Grosgrain Girl

Before we get to Grosgrain Girl, I wanted to let you know about a new CU item from Charlie. She has photographed and extracted some leaves and done a fantastic job! These are the kind of thing that you can use in any LO, and will be super in so many kits. It's available at her store at SAS (for 25% off this week only!) and will be at Snap and Scrap by the end of the week (I think!)

Also, Vicki has a really pretty new freebie kit out called "Bring on Spring". I just love it and can't wait to do a LO with it. Just click on the preview to go to her blog to get the details.

And now for Grosgrain Girl - it's ELEMENT day! Woohoo! Thank you SO much for the wonderful response. The comments have been so encouraging and I'm looking forward to learning more, growing more as a designer and making more freebies ;)

Don't forget to head over to Mel and Erin's to get their parts!

It's here! The Grosgrain Girl Collab kit!

Wow! Talk about an experience and a half! I have learned SO much from participating in the collab with Mel and Erin. They are two absolutely wonderful people, and I know if we didn't live thousands of miles away from each other we'd be good friends and spend a lot of time laughing.

For those of you who are wondering, grosgrain is a textured ribbon, and is very girly. So without further ado, here are some GORGEOUS layouts from Mel's wonderful CT who went and created layouts for us, even though it was optional ;)

This layout was made with my part of the kit:

I really hope you enjoy the kit - I look forward to doing more very soon!

Some layouts...

Well, for someone who's computer is busted, I've sure been getting a lot done ;) LOL! Actually, I owe a HUGE thanks to my hubby who has basically let me be glued to the computer for two days solid. He's such a great guy.

So, I've gotten some CT assignments and stuff done. Firstly, I love, love, love "Zoolander" by Brianna Cox. I had such fun with this LO and some of the elements (and their names ;) brought a big smile to my face.

You can get it at her store at Snap and Scrap, here.

I also managed 3 layouts for Gotta Pixel with Sweet Digi Scraps' kit "Tea Party":

It has not been an easy challenge - scrapping about myself is my least favorite thing.

One of my favorite layouts was for the Grab Bag Challenge:

I also did a LO for the "By the Numbers" Challenge. Another toughie ;)

I'm sure there's a bunch of LO's I haven't blogged about, but they're all in my galleries. I need to learn a lesson here, and make sure I blog a LO as soon as it's done ;)

Well, I'm off to make the most delicious peanut butter cookies so they'll be warm and ready to eat when he gets home from work...

Don't forget to come back for "Grosgrain Girl" tomorrow!

Charlie's new kit "Forever" + a QP freebie

I just wanted to pop on quickly to tell you about Charlie's kit "Forever." It's in her stores at Stone Accents Studio and Snap and Scrap now. With her ENTIRE STORE at Snap and Scrap being 50% off for the rest of the month, you can get some real bargains!

When I looked at it I thought it might be a girlie kit. But, ya know, it really is a neutral kit. I made a LO for a friend of mine with pics of her baby boy. Isn't her baby GORGEOUS!? I made a QP for you too...allll the way at the bottom ;)

I'm trying to learn PSE7 (trial version - blegh) so I was playing around a bit, and made a QP for you. Click on the preview to download!

Don't forget to come back on Monday to snag the collab kit I made with Mel and Erin ;)
