September Sophistication

September and October have already passed, but I wanted to show you my newest release, September Sophistication, exclusively at Stuff to Scrap. It was fun to work with these vibrant, daring colors. They worked perfectly for scrapping some of the pictures of my trip last year to New Orleans.  You can get this new kit HERE. The download includes 16 papers, 30 elements, 5 glitter sheets, and a full alpha with uppers, lowers, and symbols all for $4.99.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve also been working with a new creative team! I am really excited to be working with these ladies. They have put together some amazing work so far. All of their blog links are on the right sidebar, so please hop over to see them. Some of them have freebies to go along with this kit, so it would be worth your time to pay a visit.

October goodies at Stuff to Scrap

A new month means a new collab kit from the STS designers, and a new build-a-kit theme. This is what we have this month.

Swing by Stuff to Scrap to check it out!

In need of some great new additions to your commercial use stash? How about picking up this month's October 2011 CU Grab Bag. It's full of great CU items complied by our Stuff to Scrap designers to boost your Halloween and Fall CU collections.

On to the Stuff to Scrap News. Did you know that they are having a digital scrapbook retreat? Well, they are! There will be lots of great classes, freebies, tips and tricks and more! Sounds like it will be awesome and I know there are a lot of people planning on going, carpooling, rooming together, etc. 

STS is starting some e-classes specifically designed to challenge you and to improve your digi scrapping skills. Each class has a different theme and will have it's own private gallery to post your layouts to share with others from your class. Check them out:

STS is also having a CT Call! I was on this team for a half a year and it was one of my favorites. More work than a regular CT, but nice because you have more freedom of which kits to work with. You should apply!

Double Duty Day

I have a double post for you. I have been scrapping like mad, and designing like crazy lately. I need to catch up and share with you all that I have been doing!

First up is AmyDane Designs Something Beautiful kit. It has a few butterflies in honor of a very special someone. To find out more about it, you’ll have to get the kit at Stuff to Scrap. The story is touching. I used this kit at a Speed Scrap, and since it was slow, I did TWO layouts during the scrap, and got them both in on time! It was fun!

 

One is of my daughter getting an IV, and the other is from my bathroom makeover a while back. And just for added measure, I scrapped a picture of my kids and their great grandparents with this kit. The font on this page is called eight-fifteen. For the split photo, I used 4 rectangle shapes with drop shadows, Made my photo big enough to cover it all, copied my photo to make 4 copies, and then clipped them to the  shapes.

Next  up is a kit just in time for Easter from Scraps By Andrea called A Bunny’s Tale. There are some really awesome patterned papers in here, PLUS a separate cardstock and polka dot paper pack are available!

  

The second layout I did for the Scraplift Challenge in the STS forums this month. Such a great layout to glean from. Any time I get in a scrapping funk, I head straight to the forum to see if there is a challenge that peaks my interest. You get points for doing challenges at STS, and once you get so many, you earn a gift certificate to the store to buy anything your heart desires!

I made a little alpha to go with Andrea’s kit. It has just upper case, with separate letters and a contact sheet. Click the pic to download. Enjoy!

Touch Of Red

Touch of Red is the newest kit out from Gettin’ Scrappy with Britt over at Stuff to Scrap. Lots of Red, mixed with Gray and a little bit of pink. It’s a great kit for Valentine’s day pictures, but it would also work for lots of other things, like a girls night out, or the remodel of your dining room. Oh, that’s just me? I’ve seen a few layouts done with this kit, and they look especially awesome with black and white photos (which I probably should have used for the project runway layout…oh well).

Stitched With Love

Stitched With Love is a kit made by This Little Missy that I picked out to scrap pictures of the eye-spy quilt I made with my daughter. I thought the sewing theme would work wonderfully.

Our project started from an I-spy (I like the pun version eye-spy) swap like one on Obsessively Stitching. She has swaps that run a few times a year. We sent in something like 200 4x4 I-Spy squares in 10 different fabrics, and got back 200 different ones so that we could have all types of different prints. This one became our picnic blanket. It still needs the edges bound. You can find more about this project by clicking the label link for eye-spy in the side bar. My daughter and I really did Stitch With Love. It was a very fun project.

This page was made at today’s Speed Scrap at Stuff to Scrap. I had my doubts, but I was pleased with the result! 

Stuff to Scrap is having a huge sale right now, so if you have had your eye on some kits, now is the time to grab them!
