Winter Wonderland

Loving, as usual, Leah's newest kit!! We haven't had any snow yet this season, but I managed to use this adorable kit!!
You'll have to check out the newest challenge on Leah's CT blog. It's a scraplift challenge hosted by Jessi. Hopefully, you'll find some inspiration from the LO--I know the subject of the LO is inspiration to a majority of my layouts!!

AND it's SPEED SCRAP time, again!!! Here's the forum for it...hope you'll come and join me!! Erica made the BEST participation prize for it--an Ode' to Denise Beatty!!!! Now you, too can scrap like Denise if you come to the Speed Scrap (#63)!!

A New Week

Mondays are not typically my favorite day of the week, but this week there is so much new scrapping goodness out there, I can't stand it!!!

ScrapMatters is giving away one ROCKING kit as a daily download during the rest of the month!I had so much fun using this kit!!
AND over at Leah's CT blog, Mary Ellen is hosting a "Recipe Challenge"--kind of like a slow paced Speed Scrap!! (Get out there and try it. This is a new blog, so your chances of winning are high and we want to spread the word!!) You can win a kit of Leah's...and she has two new kits out today over at ElementalScraps. One is SWEET and the other is ALL BOY!

Here's what I did for the recipe challenge using the new kit "Sugar High"...
And here's a layout I did using "Hard at Play"...
Keep you eyes peeled for the ScrapMatters.com January newsletter (sign up for it on their blog) AND Elegant Word Art by Bethany has some fun stuff coming out on Friday!!

Kiss My _____

Do I have your attention??

With a new year ahead of me, I have great expectations to keep this blog hopping...I'm thinking it needs a new design.

But in the meantime, I wanted to ALERT you to a fun challenge with a great prize. Leah's CT will be having weekly challenges on her blog, mommyish.net. This weeks challenge is about making those New Year's Resolutions and then scrapping them! Something I need to do! Next Monday, there will be a drawing for someone to win a free kit of Leah's. Check out all of the details here.

Here are her newest releases (and what I've created with them) available at Elemental Scraps...And there is much more to come from this talented chick in the near future!!

I AM SPEED.........

Okay, not really, but I am hosting the next Speed Scrap at Scrap Matters. Speed Scrap #50!! I wonder how many of those 50 Speed Scraps I've participated in....hmmmm...

Come join me if you can!

New CT!!!

Spur of the moment one night (like within the last hour) I saw this CT Call that interested me, so I decided to quickly apply. And when I woke up in the morning, I found out I'd gotten on the cool new CT for Leah Riordan!!!

She has just opened up shop at Elemental Scraps and her stuff is SOOOOO cute!!! I can't wait to get going! Don't be fooled...I've already gotten a layout done with this fabulous kit, Yuletide Swing!
And I can't wait to use this cuteness!! Music Basically!Leah seems like a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to getting to know another fun group of gals!
You can check out Leah's blogs here and her new scrapping blog will be up and running soon--so stay tuned!

Black Friday Goodness

I picked the wrong weekend to go out of town!!

ScrapMatters.com is having one HUGE sale and I swear the longest blog train in history with such awesomeness!! Wait till you see it!



And the Daily Download is back!! Check in every day at Scrap Matters starting Friday until the 17th of December and collect one steaming kit!!
I've got some fun layouts to post once all the holiday goodness comes out, but it will have to wait until after the weekend.

Have a safe and happy holiday!!

Simple Word Art

I love Bethany's new SIMPLE line of Word Art (available at Scrap Orchard). Here's just a sampling and some of the LO's I've done with them...
