Boy, I really want to get into the habit of blogging on Fridays again. But with summer break starting today at 4pm, I’m just not sure how realistic that is, lol! The kids are busy with camps and classes this summer, but hopefully we’ll have some good ‘ol fashioned down time.
I have a couple things to show you. First I want to show you Happy Camper. A super-fun new collab that Snips and Snails, Digilicious Designs and Aimee Harrison Design Studios released today.
I sinmply adore the plaid papers in this kit…nothing says camping like a plaid flannel shirt, right!!!
This second LO was created using a fun template from Little Bit Shoppe Designs
I also worked with a template from keepscrappin designs…called Photo Mania because it has so many spaces for photos!!
I created a LO of our fabulous backyard. My DH did such a wonderful job envisioning a relaxing haven for us when he designed our backyard. And now as the trees and bushes are all growing up it is truly a wonderful place for our family to hang out.
And last but not least, I want to invite you to Minitopia at Brownie Scraps!
This is such a fun month-long game. When you buy your ticket (the template pack you see above), you get an alias to use for the month. As you chat and create LOs for the challenges, other Minitopians are trying to figure out who you really are. There are lots of prizes and lots of gallery love all month long! I hope you join us!
All product images are linked so you can easily grab ‘em 
So until next time…
So behind…

I’m so behind on my personal blogging. I blog for so many other people now that I am worn out by the end of it all! But here I am to show you some great stuff! First I’ll show you Letters from Tuscany.
This template is Sole Photo vol 1 from Moments Scrapped which you can find at Brownie Scraps.
Then I worked with Spring in the City from Snips and Snails. This is a bright, springy kit that was released last year, before I began on Stephanne’s CT.
This one uses a template from the pack: Funky by Little Bit Shoppe Designs.
This one I did for the ADSR7 challenge: take a photo you don’t like (love the photo, just wish we weren’t so blurry) and turn it into a layout you love. So far I’m having fun with the Amazing DigiScrap Race – season 7.
Ramona also had a beautiful kit release this week, it’s called Often Go Walking
This was for the second ADSR7 challenge to scrap about a life-changing event or person. I look back on my life before I started attending Bible Studies and can totally see how a weekly dose of in-depth study has certainly changed my life, so that is what I chose to scrap about. I used Duo Photo vol 2 from Moments Scrapped for this page.
I think that’s all I have for now…so until next time…

Garden Patch
27 Apr 2012 Leave a Comment
Good Friday morning! I’d like to introduce Garden Patch from Snips and Snails Designs.
I am so in love with this kit…my only problem is that I am not a gardener, so I have no gardening pictures to use with it 
Well, we did try our hand at pumpkins one year…
And I did a page of my nephews doing a little yard work…
I used cluster template from Memory Clips by Ramona to create this one!
You can find Garden Patch at the Snips and Snails Designs store at One Story Down.
Thessalonians and a new kit!

Some of you who know me, know that I am a stay-at-home-mom with two kids who are in school full time. So I often think that I should get a real job, you know, instead of just scrapbooking all day! I’ve applied for jobs, considered jobs, thought of what would be the perfect job, but I always come back to the fact that God has me right where I’m supposed to be. But still the thought sometimes pops into my head, “Is this God’s will for my life?”
So last night I was reading in First Thessalonians, when I got to 5:16-18 I just about started crying, because it gave a very specific picture of God’s will for my life – and yours too! It says, “Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
There is was, God’s will for me! Whether I’m working outside my home- or not- whether we have the money to replace all the furniture and appliances I want to replace-or not- whether I scrapbook “for a living” – or not- God’s will for me is to be joyful, to pray and give thanks. I’m so excited that I can finally let go of this nagging question of God’s will for me. Because now I know!
And now on to the cutest new release from Stephanne of Snips and Snails Designs. It’s called Blue Jean Spring and it is full of my favorite things, blue jeans and spring!!!
And of course it comes with accessories! You can get the whole bundle with the cardstocks, alpha and stacked papers!
Don’t you just love all the little pockets!?! Here are the layouts I made with this kit. I used a template from Memory Clips on this first one, isn’t it just so cute!!!
I loved the versatility of the kit, I thought it was just as cute for all the girl layouts I saw as it was for the boy layouts.
You can find it at the Snips and Snails store at One Story Down.
As you may know, the Brownie Scraps store is down right now as they get ready to re-open May 1st. I cannot wait for you to see it!
Until next time…
Wish You Were Here!

As promised, I am back again! I have a fun kit to show you today called Wish You Were Here from Snips and Snails Designs.
Here’s a 2-page spread I made for Erica’s album to remember all the fun stuff we did on our 10-day road trip to California and back.
You can find Stephanne’s designs exclusively at One Story Down.
Boy, It’s Been A While!

Do you ever wonder how it can be that nearly 3 weeks just slips by and you barely even notice? I think it because I’ve been a scrappin’ fool…I completed 60 layouts during the month of March!
My goal for April is to clean up, finish up, and load up all the layouts I haven’t printed so that they are ready for printing sales in May!!! I have about 170 layouts to print!
Anyway, I have a couple of kits I want to show you. First up is Fresh Spring from Snips and Snails.
Aren’t the little chicks and eggs so cute!?!
Next I have a FREE kit to show you…Cherry Picking! It is adorable and did I mention it is free? This month, Stephanne is the featured designer in My Scrapbook Art’s magazine. You can find the article and kit here.
And finally I have an absolutely gorgeous kit from Memory Clips by Ramona called Remembering.
Ramona has a fabulous project going on over on her blog called Scrap Your Story and its all about going back and scrapping some of the things that have influenced your life. I created this “Scrap Your Story” layout about an event that happened to my family when I was just a baby, I of course don’t remember the event, but its a story that I remember since I played such a crucial role, lol!
I’ll try not to stay away for so long next time! Hehe, I’ll be back tomorrow or Saturday to show you another new release from Snips and Snails!
Until next time…
