Randomness & Digi Dare Info

Well I haven't posted in over a month...I've been crazy busy. I went on vacation with my girls to Myrtle Beach to have a family reunion vaca with my Nana, Mom, & sister. We had an awesome time relaxing on the beach, and I have TONS of pictures to edit & scrap...PLUS 2 days after we got home my hubby finally came home from Alaska!!!!!! It's been unbelievable having him home again, and the girls are just happy as can be.


I haven't had much time to get on the computer with everything thats been going on, and I haven't scrapped too much, but I did do this page for Digi Dares # 192 and I got the random pick for the challenge, plus my page was mentioned in the DST Gallery Standouts on the 18th!!!

Once the kids go back to school next week I'll have some time to put up some more pages I've done plus get some of my pictures scrapped!

Thanks for looking & have a great weekend!

I love Digi Dares!

I'm so in love with doing the weekly dare at The Digi Dares! Each dare stretches my creativity, and pushes me to go beyond my regular scrapping. This weeks dare was to do a page about something from your childhood that you wanted but never got and of course there are elements to the page that you have to do on your layout. Here is the page I did for dare # 185, and I have to say I really LOVE how it came out! This is NOT my normal style, but I just might be doing more like this!!!!!

I'm on a roll!

At this rate I might actually get caught up by the end of the week! YIPPIE!!!


Here is another LO with a Pixel Perfect Designs kit. This one is Surfer Dude! Super cute, and I just happen to have a surfer dude in my family...my little bro! He has Mad Skills on the surf board, so here is a little tribute to him! Walter...YOU ROCK!

Still playing catch up!

Well I finally got to do some of my back work for Pixel Perfect Designs! This page is from her kit Beach Babe, and is a totally adorable beach kit for a little girl! You can find this kit over at Polka Dot Plum.

I also did another page with a kit that is coming out on July 7th. I can't show you the page I did yet, but here is a sneak peak at the kit....super cute & great for Disney fans!!!


I'll be back with more later today...I have to go get ready to see ECLIPSE!!!! (yes I am a Twi Fan!!!)

I'm now caught up on my work for Fishbowl Designs

Thank goodness I work with some great designers who understand I have a crazy life. Here is my page with this beautiful Mothers Day Kit called A Special Lady by Fishbowl Designs. It is a beautiful kit! Now I'm off to work on my other CT projects.

Maybe one day I'll get caught up enough to work with those awesome Mega Kits I just got!

OK...I need a break from life to get caught up on scrappin!

I was all set to get back into the scrappin groove...my house was ALMOST all unpacked, and the kids had their last day of school when just as the kids were about to leave their last days of Kindergarten & 1st grade I got a call that my mother had a heart attack. The very next day I flew all over the country (seriously...I went from Austin TX to Atlanta GA, then to Laguardia Airport NY, then Charlotte NC and finally Myrtle Beach SC. It was the only way I could get there with less than a days notice) so that I could be there for her. She had to have tripple bypass surgery, and is recovering well now, thank you Lord!

I got back last Wednesday and had alot of cleaning to do, and I've just now gotten back to the computer to get my scrap fix, plus try to get caught up on my CT work. So here they are, a few pages I've done with some kits from Fishbowl Designs, plus one that somehow I forgot to post when the kit came out.



This first one is with her newest kit called Just Purples. I'm really loving doing pages with different shades of the same color. Now I cheated a little with this layout (I'm super tired) so I decided to used one of her Templates from her Fishfood Backgrounds.


This next one is of my mom's dog/baby Tucker. I took my mom & Tucky down to the beach only a week after her surgery to take some pictures of them together. This pup is just too funny, and was so much fun to take pictures of! I used Doodle Bug for this layout. This is just full of adorable little bugs and just SCREAMS summer picnic! Super cute kit!!! For the title I used her Fishin For Letters alpha chain kit. I really liked using these to make the title!

This last page is the one I forgot to post...oops! I used this beautiful kit & mini add on called Eco Earth that was created for Earth Day. I just ADORE this kit! The earthy colors & elements are just so beautiful!

One last thing before I go, cause I love a great sale, and I've just got to pass this along because I've been coveting some of these kits for a while, and well Sunshine Studio Scraps bundled 15 of their mega kits together for only $15! (these usually go for $6.00 each) I have no idea how long this sale will be going for this, so go grab it up while your getting the awesome Fishbowl Designs kits!

**all kit pictures are linked to store...hope you like working with them as much as I did!

I'll be posting again before the weekend is over, I still have more CT work to do this weekend!

I'm alive...really I am :)

For those who don't know I had to make a very quick move. Long story short my landlord called me on April 30th and told me the house was being foreclosed on and I had to be out by May 15th! (yes...I was paying my rent, but apparently she wasn't paying her mortgage with my rent money!)

It all turned out to be okay, I found a beautiful 4 bed/3 bath house in the next town over with 1.3 acres for the kids to play on, and we got moved in on the 15th. For the past few weeks I've been packing & unpacking in the new place and just this week found my computer...YAY! After an extremely stressful month I'm really looking forward to having some scrap therapy which is desperately needed right now! Last night I did a page for my ct for My 4 Princesses Designs with an adorable kit called Here Comes The Sun which can be found at Enchanted Studio Scraps. (or just click on the kit title)


Hopefully tonight I'll be able to work with some other kits from my ct's that I'm long over due on...thankfully the designers were understanding of what was going on! (I <3 you guys!!!!) Maybe I'll even get to scrap some of the pics of the new house!!!!
