Jungle Juice - Collab With Jensen Motley Crew Designs at Stuff to Scrap

What a fun kit this has been to make!! And the layouts are soo awesome!! I worked on this with fellow new designer at Stuff to Scrap, Jodi of Jensen Motley Crew Designs and we had such FUN and are so happy to share with you the two halves that make this whole kit, Jungle Juice, a colorful gotta-have! Click on previews to head to the store for each of our parts, and there are some freebies on the CT blogs, too! Plus, I have a freebie for you - you'll really like it!! Will you last long enough to get it - cuz my CT rocked this kit and I have a lot to share with ya!

Here's my part


And get a closer look at the papers.


And the fun elements!!


As always, I have provided you with a set of cardstock which is free with purchase (I do this because I don't like holding back on grunging and texturing up my papers like crazy - so you need a plain paper? Grab a cardstock!)


And I did an alpha, but you can see that on all the other previews, so I won't put the preview here. Here is the preview for Jodi's part, though, and linked to her store.


And here is the eye candy - literally, but I'm going to start off showing off mine - not showing off my layouts so much as showing off the adorable grandkids!


(this one is my VERY fave!!)




And this time I'm putting in REVERSE alphabetical order (you wouldn't believe how hard it is to figure out what order to put these in not to want to hurt anybody's feelings - I mean, they are all totally awesome, so that is OBVIOUSLY not the deciding factor, right?) Starting with Tammy - oh, wait, maybe this is the best - I mean, look at this adorable little fluffy caterpillar!! God made him JUST so she could use this kit to scrap him, don't you think? ahaha!

And another from Tammy


Now here's 2 from Paula - okay they are all great from here, but now my fingers are tired from typing, so just ooooh and ahhh with me ok? Oh, wait, right, she scrapped potholes - how awesome is THAT!!? Gotta love that girl!


And here is my beloved Noelle's page.


A couple from the lovely Lauryn.




Now here's a couple from Kristen AND a freebie she made you - click on any of these to head to her blog and GET it already!




The freebie (soooo cute!!)


And my "neighbor" Kendra did a couple.




And last but so definitely not least, the talented Julie! (I just LOVE this first one - I mean, all are great, but I love how she did the corners and the bright colors on this!!)




Now, did I mention something about freebies? I do believe I did! I made QPs out of 2 of the pages I did, using templates by JennCK Designs from Scrap Book Bytes (I almost ALWAYS use her templates!!).

10 for $10 Sale - Ivory Keys Digital Dreams

Oooh, these are my FAVORITE kind of sales! You get 10 full products (TEN!!!) which are normally priced between $2-6 - but you only pay $1 each!! And when the designer is Ivory Keys Digital Dreams, it's an even better value because let's face it - her stuff is AWESOME!! So click the flier and head to her store - see if you can pick just 10! I betcha can't...

Chawndell's Ellies - New Kit at Stuff to Scrap

This is my second in a series of "barely-mini-kits" dedicated to each of my and my CT's children and grandchildren. This one is dedicated to Chawndell, the lovely daughter of Noelle - if you've been around at Stuff to Scrap, you have surely seen some of the gorgeous layouts Noelle creates with her beloved daughter! When I asked Noelle about Chawndell, she said that she loves elephants, the color purple, and has glasses - so I've taken all that and created this kit! First, here's a picture of Chawndell's ACTUAL ellies at home - my inspiration!


And here are the kit previews. As always, the cardstocks are available free with purchase of the kit, or may be purchased separately at STS. Click on any preview to head to my store at STS to pick up this adorable kit!








And here is some inspiration - layouts created by my CT!

First, a couple from Noelle - of Chawndell and her ellies.




Here are a couple from Julie - she actuall had elephant pix to scrap!




Here is one from Kendra.


And one from Tammy.


Come back later this week for some freebies!

Oh, almost forgot, here is my beautiful little granddaughter - using a template by JennCK Designs of Scrap Book Bytes.

$2.00 Tuesday - Farewell My Summer Love

I have put Farewell My Summer Love (my portion) in the $2.00 bin for today (Tuesday) at Stuff to Scrap - hurry up and pick it up!! Preview linked to store.

Rainbow Bridge Charity Collab

In early September, Katina (aka The Scrappy Kat) lost her poodle, Pepe.


Pepe was a rescue dog, and Kat enjoyed his loyal, loving companionship for 15 years! Most of us can relate to losing a pet, and it is especially heartbreaking to lose one who has been a part of our family for such a long time. As we are not all in Kat's neighborhood to give her big hugs, the designers at STS have decided to give her a virtual hug, but creating a special kit called Rainbow Bridge (poem below) to honor not only the adorable, well-loved Pepe, but all the animals we love and lose in our lifetime (including my precious Humphrey, who I lost a few months back and still miss every day!). We have dogs, cats, horses; we even have lizards, bunnies, and many other kinds of pets in this kit! With a colorful rainbow palette and a ton of papers and elements showcasing all kinds of pets, this kit is perfect for ALL pet owners! The best thing about the Rainbow Bridge kit is that ALL proceeds from the kit will be donated to Katina's local Humane Society. You can check out their website here.http://www.humanesocietyswm.org/about.php

Here is the kit we made. It's linked to the store. There is even a Quickpage Kit.









And check out these beautiful quick pages!!


And here is the lovely poem that inspired this kit:


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can ru
n and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

So, click any preview above to head to the STS store and pick up the kit and/or quick pages, with loving memory of ALL the pets who have so greatly enriched our lives!

Farewell My Summer Love and Freebies!

Okay, I introduced you to the new kit by Mommy Me Time Scrapper and me, Knittinjen, yesterday - today I want to remind you that both parts are on sale for the first week at 25% off (including the cluster set Tammy has, and the cardstock set I have) - but not only that, Kendra made you this ADORABLE frame to go with the kit - for free! This frame is so cute - the butterfly was a special request by Kendra, and this frame (the rub-on frame is by Hannah of ScrapTeam) also inspired one of the elements I put in ANOTHER beautiful kit called Sunrise Sunset, which you hopefully picked up free at The Studio this week - but if you didn't, you can get it at STS later. But back to Farewell My Summer Love - here are the previews, and the free frame - go check it out!
Here's my portion (click to go to STS and pick it up)


Here is Tammy's portion - click to head to her store to pick it up:
