Think Green!

In honor of Earth Day on April 22nd, the Brownie Bakers have put together another fabulous collab for us! 

This MEGA comes with 5 mini kits, a fabulously fun hybrid project, an adorable template, CU Grunge Brushes and 6 QP's. All of this for FREE when you purchase $10.00 or more from our store!

Here’s a page I made with it – and the QP for this page is one of the 6 included with this kit!

So go get your April Addict Membership, spend just $1 more (check out the Dollar Goodies section!)  You will not be disappointed, I promise!

Space Case and a Freebie!

Have you seen this super cute kit by Scrappin’ Daisies?

I just love all the unique ellies and I’m always a sucker for boy colors! :)

Here’s a page I did with it for the Brownie Olympics:

 

And I thought I’d share the alpha and word art I made to use on this layout!  It is a fun worn chipboard alpha with a font that is a bit futuristic!

(Keep an eye out April 1st for the newest Brownie Baker Collab, Think Green - free with any $10 purchase in April!)

Mod & Classy - QP Freebie!

I love this kit by Down This Road Designs! I love the colors, the little bits of glitter and bling and the super fun mix of elements!

I used Mod & Classy for my March desktop (download the Decadent Desktop challenge template HERE)

I also made a QP for you!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

February Gotta Pixel Goodness!

It’s the end of the month, so that means it’s time for me to show off the layouts I’ve been making over at Gotta Pixel!

The first kit I picked up was Ties That Bind, a collab by Creations by Rachael and Late Night Scraps.

This kit is great for heritage photos and genealogy projects, with a family tree, relationship markers and vintage elements with enough bright colors and whimsy for beautiful everyday layouts too! 

This first page I made with it was for Laura’s Simply Sketchy Challenge:

This page was for Brenda’s February Elements Challenge - hearts! :)

 

The second kit I picked up this month at Gotta Pixel were the Romance Paper Pack and Element Pack by Shawnery Mathis. 

I love the soft colors that are perfect for Valentines and so much more! 

This page was for the first Challenge in ADSR Season 5 - to scraplift a page of our partner, about our partner!

I made this page for Alicia’s February Scraplift Challenge:

My time on the GP site CT has come up for renewal and although they were kind enough to ask me to stay on, I have decided that the next 6 months are going to be crazy stressful enough and that I will be better off to take as much off my plate as I can for now.  I am very sad to go, but for once I am trying not to over-commit myself, imagine that…

January Gotta Pixel Goodness

It is that time again - time  for me to show off my layouts I’ve made with the beautiful Gotta Pixel products!

This month I used Monica by Captivated Visions and I just love how my pages seemed to come together by themselves with this kit!

I also got to work with Kathryn Estry, and I used her beautiful kit Classic Romance Lavender.  This kit is part of a series of kits, each in a color to match your wedding!  I have been wanting to scrap these pictures of my friend’s wedding and this was the perfect opportunity!

Making the Grade, my first Freebie and more!

Ramona the Pest has a wonderful new kit out! It's called Making the Grade and it's a fun non-traditional back to school kit. I love that it's great for younger and older kids alike and it's not the same old primary colors! Find it HERE at Brownie Scraps!

Here's the page I made using Making the Grade:

I think that's it for the night... I need to sleep!

A long overdue blogging...sit back and enjoy the ride!

I have been meaning to update, but you know how it goes, it's been a busy month!

I was lucky enough to work with Out of this World by Karen Lewis. I love the bright but soft colors and there are so many fun elements! You can snag this kit at Gotta Pixel!

Here are the super cute pages I made with it!

In between work, Tyler's homework, band practice, cub scouts, trips to Casa Grande and Tucson, I've been trying to get lots of scrapping done...

Brownie Scraps has the Birthday Celebration going on all month, with a new challenge everyday, in addition to the usual monthly challenges, speed scraps, scrap alongs, and Bingo games! My goal is to get challenges done and I'm at 6 so far, so I'm hoping I can meet my goal! Here is a LO I did for the last speed scrap and one of Birthday Challenges:

I am also still in the Sunshine Studio's Scrap Idol Contest, and it's been fun pushing myself toward the 50 LO goal to earn all the prizes! I'm at 22 layouts created in the month of September, so I've earned the Level 1 prize -a great pack of Templates, and I just got to Level 2 tonight - a super cute collab kit I can't wait to play with! See my full SUN Gallery HERE

I've been lucky enough to get some great RAK's lately too, I have a whole list of kits I want to work with... I need to get some more pictures taken and I have a whole bunch I need to scan, I'm going to run out of pictures to work with pretty soon lol! But we are going camping this weekend, so there will be lots of opportunities, especially Tyler with his new bike he got tonight!

Birthday Bash! (in more ways than one!)

Friday was Tyler's 11th birthday and yesterday we had a Laser Tag birthday party. He and his friends from school had a blast and somehow I got talked into 2 of the boys spending the night... So we had some pizza, they played games and stayed up late and now we're getting ready to go see a movie!


But before we head out, I wanted to share my latest creations!

My first assignment on the Gotta Pixel Creative Team is with the amazing Silvia Romeo. I chose her Birthday Bash Girls Kit to work with first. You can find it here!




Now if you follow me, you know I don't usually do super girly pages but I was looking to challenge myself with this super cute kit!

Thanks for looking!

I will be back soon with birthday party pictures!
