Hip Hop Everyone!!!!

Woo Hoo this has to be everyone's favorite day of the week!!!

Beach Days & Sun Rays is being realeased today...you can check it out right HERE :)

Make sure you check out Angela's Blog - you can see photos from CHA...the booth looks amazing doesn't it?

Here's my projects for today...I used some stamps for the Jan. KOTM...





This is what we are giving "the teachers" this year for Valentine's Day...a super quick project, but when I saw these red and orange tic tacs at Target I knew this Cosmo Cricket paper would be perfect for them!





and last but not least...I pulled my favorites out again from the Sept. KOTM and completed this page - tfl

...now hop on over to Sherry's Blog and see what she has in store for ya!

...and then meet us back over at SCS in the Unity Forum!

Its already Tuesday....

...the kids are back to school this morning...and once I get Mason dropped off I'm heading to STARBUCKs! Just like the meds I have been taking the last year...caffine also needs to be deleted from my daily intake...I'm have a hard time with this one :) I didn't have any yesterday...but I'm going today!!!

Hopefully once this study is complete I won't need STARBUCKs EVERYDAY...that will be a good thing right!!! lol

Last night I finished up this digital LO using Crystal Wilkerson's Vintage Candy Cane Collection kit and a template from her NEW Rounded Corners Templates....these go on sale today over at 2Peas.

Sunday: Digital LOs

This digital LO was made based off a sketch over at Page Plans...It was fun to finally use some of our Cruise photos...I used Crystal Wilkerson's Rainbow Sherbert, which you can find over at 2Peas.



One of my very favorite Digital Designers over the past few months is Pam of PamelaDonnisDesigns...she really makes the best kits! I really love working with them!!!

For this first LO I used one of her new projects...which will be apart of a collaboration available at FunkyPlaygroundDesigns in February the second LO is from her Love Grows kit which will be available at ElementalScraps...also in February.

It's Thursday...time to HIP HOP!!!

WOO HOO its Thursday!!! My favorite day of the week :) Unity has a NEW Release today and its fab!!! You need to check out Time for Travel!

Now onto my projects for this week...I was able to use the NEW Release "Time for Travel" stamp set...it was perfect to FINALLY pull out a photo of our Cruise that me and my hubby took last April.

I was able to take the saying "what a sight!" and stamp directly on my photo...I love how it turned out. I was afraid I would ruin my photo but it all worked out perfectly!







On my second LO I used a few of my favorites...Giggle Grove
- this is a MUST HAVE set...you all will definitely see more LOs from me using these stamps. These beautiful girls are my neices...they live in New Jersey, so we don't get to see them often. It was a lot of fun making a LO about them.



Thank you for stopping by today...now head on over to Lynn's Blog and check out her fab work! :)

Happy Tuesday!!!

Well that was the longest weekend ever! The kids are back to school this morning...Mason and I are heading out in a little bit...he has a Field Trip to the Children's Museum.

I started this digital LO yesterday but just got it finished up this morning. I used Crystal Wilkerson's "The 365 Challenge" February Kit which goes on sale this morning over at 2Peas...I also used her Inked Edges #4 Template. (I threw in my favorite digital stitches by Sandi Krieger).



TFL - and have a great day!!!

Week #40 over at Page Plans

I can hardly believe I have been participating in the sketches over at Page Plans for 40 weeks...it just amazes me how fast time is going by!

I made this weeks card sketch:


...and here's what I came up with...


Chris Ross made this weeks LO sketch...for my LO I used the "Falalalala" digital kit by Crystal Wilkerson. You can purchase this fun kit over at 2peas.

Digital Saturday and a Card to Share

This morning I went to the LSS and picked up a few new items I needed for some upcoming projects...when I got home I decided to work on a digital page...At the beginning of the year I had seen that Nichol Magourik over at two peas was going to be doing a FREE online class called "Celebrate the Seasons". I knew instantly that I wanted to participate. I've always been a big fan of Nichol's work...so finally this afternoon I had some free time where I could complete the first assignment.

For this LO I used Crystal Wilkerson's "The 365 Challenge, Jan. Kit" which can be purchased at two peas. I loved the color combo of this kit...it was so fun to work with! I also used "lil trees" by Kirsty Wiseman.

Last night I got play around with my new stamp from Unity Stamping Co., oh my gosh - I LOVED this stamp!!! I have always loved turtles...so this stamp is perfect!!! "BOOM goes my {heart}" check it out for yourself...definitely one of my new favorites :)

Happy Friday!!!

Today I have a couple digital LOs to share...and later I plan on sharing a few cards...but now I wanted to share this digital double page LO...I don't make two-pagers very often but this template was fabulous!

Di Hickman made this amazing two page template...the digital template will be available free for a limited time, so snag it while you can. Once the time is up the template will be available for sale in her digital stores.


I used: Everything by PamelaDonnisDesigns and "Going Dotty" Alpha by Vicky Parker

And next...Mason was asked to draw a picture at home for Miss Jayne, his intern student at his school...when he was done I scanned it and made this little digital page for her "goodbye book" at school.
