Diggin' The Dinos!

Grace LOVES dinos at the moment, so it should come as no surprise that I am using this Dino Roar kit - again! This kit is a little more busy than I am used to, but I was having a great time in PSE6 learning some new techniques! all of the papers and elements are from the Dino Roar kit, but I used a couple of inking templates and an edging template. Now, all I need to do is find a paper-tearing template that I can work (I have one I can't figure out).

Beautyfall by eNKay Design

I was invited to be a guest Creative Team member for eNKay Design for the month of October. I am so thrilled that the designer, Nathalie, asked me! For my first project, I chose her new kit, Beautyfall. I love the colors and the elements are awesome!

These photos are from last year's trip to the pumpkin patch. This kit totally got me in the mood for fall and Halloween. I know that I will be using quite a bit as this season progresses!

I hope that you all check out her blog! She has a ton of great things available!

Forever and Always

I just snagged this kit from Valarie Ostrom Designs - and I LOVE it. It is called Forever and Always. I absolutely can't wait to do more with it. This kit is filled with so much stuff...including 3 entire sets of alphas (upper, lower and numbers!). Of course, I will have to design something to go on the other side of this layout, so check back soon! This horrible picture of me bawling will probably be on the facing page! I need to play with this photo, but I am crying like a baby because my baby was having a hard time going into her classroom. She said, "You're LEAVING me???" Her tone of voice just broke my heart; it was so incredulous. By the way, thanks a lot Jen for catching this rotten photo! I want Grace to later know that day was harder for me than it was for her! hahaha

Dinoland with Dino Roar!

At Get Digi With It, there is a rockin' kit called Dino Roar. When I was selecting my kits for this month, I knew that I HAD to have it! Not only does Grace love dinosaurs, but there is also a new dinosaur exhibit at a local park! I love the color swatch the designer, Paula Phillips used...and even though I am not usually a cutesy-element type of person, I found the dinosaurs she designed to be very fun. Not to mention my favorite critic (Grace) loves them!

Julie Marie Designs

I am now creating for Julie Marie Designs, too! I can't believe how quickly all of this happened. Here is a new layout from one of her kits called Lion Safari. I love her work!

Valarie Ostrom Designs

I am so blessed! I was invited to be on Valarie Ostrom's Creative Team!! She wrote me the sweetest e-mail --- and I can't wait to get to know her better in the upcoming months. She has some great kits available and I am itchin' to get my fingers on one so I can start playing. You can check out her blog to see more about her. Her Creative Team also has a collective blog, so you will see me post from time to time there, also.

Thanks, Valarie! I am excited so work with you.

Shine

I have long loved this photo of my daughter. When I saw the La Luna kit from Boyerville Scraps, I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it first! (I'm sure I'll use it again and again!). The colors are what grabbed my attention first. When I saw all the stars in the embellishment folder, I knew this kit was rockin' - I am a huge fan of stars! Those of you who have seen my paper scrapbooks, know this to be true! I think I have several containers of nothing but stars!
