Something a little Sweet!

This week, I had the pleasure of working with MHK Scraps Sugar Rush kit and Icing to scrapbook by pictures of our Character Greet of Vanellope von Schweetz in Disneyland.  I love how it turned out.  SO many cute candies, and bright papers made this layout come together so perfectly.

Check them and the other 2 pieces of the group - Cardstock and Candy Frames! 

This kit would also work great for pictures of candy making, candy eating and even a Candyland Party (wink, wink)

I would love to see what you make with them, so send me your link!

Thanks!

MHK Scraps & Mad Tea Parties

I was so excited to find out that I was paired with MHK Scraps at Gingerscraps.  It is always nice to get to work with a designer who loved Disney, too!  :D

She has numerous kits that are Disney related.  I chose to work with World of Fantasy first.  She has 4 separate pieces to choose from.  I worked with her main kit and her alpha for my layout.  It has all those beautiful Fantasyland colors, plus great elements like the Castle, Tea Cups, Carousel Horse and even Pixie Dust!

 

She also has World of Fantasy Add-On

And World of Fantasy Icing

You can get the whole bundle for $10.99, or just pick up the pieces that you want.

I did this layout of the Mad Tea Cups with it.  

I was able to complete the Gingerscraps December Recipe Challenge using the kit and Seatrout Scraps Template called See Right Through Me.  I just love how it turned out!

Check it out!

She also created coordinating Extra Papers

The aquas and snowflakes were so pretty to work with.  Last December we an overnight freeze and this kit was perfect to showcase it.  I also used this month's template challenge free template by Dagi called What's In Your Pocket.  You too can go and download this free template and join in the template challenge!  If you complete 10 challenges, you receive a huge kit!

I also got to work with the Gingerbread Ladies collab called the Monthly Mix.  This month they created this gorgeous kit called Holiday Joy.  This HUGE Collab is only $5.25 all month long.

Look at all those papers and elements.  Not only was I able to make a cute layout of our kitty under the tree, but I used it to make my siggy, too.

Look for more fun this month!

Talk to you soon

Happy Camper

Designer Celeste Knight has a new release today called Happy Camper.  Perfect timing for all those great camping pictures.  We love to go camping every summer and when I saw that great bear element with the word art "Stay Wild", I knew exactly what I wanted to highlight - Wild Yosemite!  We love Yosemite and the natural wild beauty there.  It was amazes me to see people who want to feed or pet the animals there.  So, KEEP YOSEMITE wild and beautiful for years to come!

CT Hybrid Quilling Blog Post for Celeste Knight

Hello all!  I have been so busy recently that I have not even come over to update anything.  One big happening in my world is that I was asked to be on  The Sweet Caroline Studio's Creative Team!  I was shocked to be asked.  Besides making digital layouts with Celeste Knight's wonderful scrapbook kits, I also will periodically do blog posts for her blog.  This month, I did a blog post on how I created these fun frames which I made as end of year teacher presents using Celeste's Wildflower full kit.

Go check out the blog to see how to make these beautiful gifts with quilling

New Year, New Beginnings

hello all of you out in digi-land!

I am not sure about you, but New Year's is so wonderful.  It is a great chance to start fresh, make new promises (even if you break them) and just plain look forward & up!  I have never been huge into the resolutions that many make since they seem so fleeting, so I don't usually use those words.  Instead, I try to make myself promises to do better.
After spending the entire month of December with my entire family sick, I REALLY wanted to start the new year fresh.  I looked at what things I could make a difference in.
One big one is to make a conscious effort to think positively - boy is that harder than it seems.
Of course, I also made some healthy promises.  Drink more water (always), eat smaller meals, and drink less soda.  Eh, not doing so hot, but it is an on-going battle.
My last promise is to get my scrapbook albums DONE.  It seemed silly to me that I scrapbook all the time and gets tons of pages done, but not actual  albums done and that even if they are done, they aren't printed and in my hands.
I jumped right onto the 2012 album that I tried to do last year and had only gotten to early February with a smattering of misc pages done throughout.   So far, this month, I have done 34 pages, with 28 of those pages for the 2012 February & March album.  I feel like I am actually making progress!  The next time that Persnickety has a print sale, I plan on printing a batch of whatever is done so that I can start enjoying them now!

So, rather it is for New Year's or anytime - make a promise to yourself to make improvements.  Even if you change your mind or don't get very far, you will get farther than if you hadn't tried at all.
