Then, each day, a new part of the kit is given away...FOR FREE! All you have to do is be sure that you visit the forum every day to get the new part and at the end of the month, you will have ONE TOTALLY FABULOUS kit! :) I just KNOW you'll love the one they've got for you this month!!! Here's the cute little ad they made for it and a page I created using it (just to give you a little sneak peek). Oh, and it starts TODAY!!! So hop on over and get started, you won't want to miss out, I PROMISE!!

And don't forget to snag MY little freebie! After I made my page I loved my little "word art" so much I thought I'd share it with all of you!!! That's it...until tomorrow!!!
Happy Scrapping and Happy "Daily Downloading"!!!!

October Road

2009-09-18T14:01:00.004-06:00

ETA: SO sorry if some of you are getting multiple newsletters...my program is having issues!!! I'm trying to get it figured out, so thanks for your patience!

With fall in the air it was time to create a new "Fall-Filled" kit! October Road is EVERYTHING fall. I could almost smell the cinnamon and apples while I was making it!! I was down visiting my parents when I started on it and I asked my dad what I should name it. "October Road" is the name of a song written by James Taylor...one of his favorite artists, so dad...this one's for you! :) (and yes...just in case you're wondering, he gets my newsletter every month, so he WILL know!!!) Okay, enough with the naming of the kit...you want to see it, right??

Like I said...doesn't it just SCREAM fall time?? And I'm just in love with what my creative team did with it...I know I say it all the time, but they're amazing and they even whip out pages on short notice!!!

Just in case you didn't notice...now through next Friday if you buy the kit you get the word art free! So hop on over to the shop and snag 'em both before next friday!!

Well, that's it from me! Have a great weekend...we're canning Salsa!! (and hopefully getting the baby's room painted...but my hubby doesn't know that yet!!) Happy Scrapping!

This one's for the girls!

2009-09-04T06:44:00.003-06:00

It's been FAR too long since I've created some girly goodness...I figured I was overdue! We recently "remodeled" my little girls room and the colors were PERFECT inspiration for a new kit! (once the room is totally finished, I'll post a picture!) Anyway...Daydream Believer has a whimsical, fresh, fun, bright feel...you name it. This kit is great for big girls and little girls alike!!! Plus I've got some great new coordinating alphabets to go with it as well!

And here's what my creative team came up with! They were TOTALLY fabulous to get pages done for me so quickly, they didn't have very much notice on this one...it's hot off the press!!!

Well, that's it from me!!! Hope you all have a fabulous Labor Day weekend and do something fun!!! I think my hubby might have to work all weekend... :( But, I guess that means more scrapping time for me...if we're trying to look on the positive side!

Happy Scrapping!!!

Some fun new goodies just for you!! As you might tell, I'm kind of in baby mode...but I should be, right? I LOVED making this new baby kit!

Anyway, you want to see the kit, right??
And even though I'm the only one in "Baby Mode" my creative team pulled of some FA-BU-LOUS pages with it!!

New Stuff coming soon...I promise!

2009-08-03T11:08:00.002-06:00

Hey there scrappers! I know it's August 3rd and NO NEW STUFF yet...so sorry! We just got back from a week long family vacation to California...kids AND hubby's first time, it was absolutely fabulous! So...I'm trying desparately to get my house back in order, laundry done, etc. and as soon as it's all caught up there will be some fun surprises for you! In the meantime, here are a few pictures I took on the trip! :)

First...a great view of the pool area at the hotel we stayed in...isn't it gorgeous?

Then...we decided beforehand that we wanted to take some family pictures while we were there, here's the best shot! :)

Next, one of ALL the "Golden Girls" (left to right) Me, Katie, our Mom, and our wonderful Sister-In-Law Melinda!

Just a couple of the kids playing on the beach...Abbie loved the ocean, Landon...not so much! He walked in and walked right back out and said "Mom, I HATE seaweed!" You and me both buddy!! :)

And then last but not least, the whole fam with Mickey Mouse!!

All in all it was a WONDERFUL trip and a MUCH needed vacation from the everyday!! Keep your eyes peeled this week for some fun new goodies...until then, Happy Scrapping!!

The moment you've all been waiting for!!!

2009-07-17T07:30:00.003-06:00

Can you even stand the excitement? I can't, so we'll get right to the point!! This week I've teamed up with the FABULOUS Brittney of "Britt-ish" designs (again!!) to bring you...

First I'll show you what Britt and I scrapped with it...

We couldn't be more thrilled! We are in love with it!!! And my wonderful Creative Team was SO creative with this one...you definitely don't need little super heroes running around to get good use out of this one, it's SO versatile!!

Go grab it while it's hot...and don't forget to read to the end...there might just be a little surprise for you there!!

Next, Christmas in July! I know, you all probably think I'm nuts, but hey, nothing like getting a head-start, right??
And while my personal CT was swamped creating the AWESOME Incredi-Boy layouts, the ScrapMatters CT came to the rescue with some Christmasy inspiration...along with a couple of my girls who must have had a little spare time this week! :)

Are your creative juices flowing yet?? Mine sure are!!

And don't forget to check out these other great Golden Girls "Christmasy" products on sale today through Tuesday, only at ScrapMatters!!

And now...because you've been so patient through all of the Christmas stuff...a little giveaway for you! Britt and I both created add-ons for Incredi-Boy...click the image to download, and don't forget to hop on over to BRITT'S BLOG to snag hers too!!
Enjoy, have a great weekend, and Happy Scrapping!!!

2009-07-16T07:00:00.003-06:00

Really though, some really fun stuff! I've collaborated with a totally FABULOUS designer to bring you this...
Like I said...if you only knew! :) Also...if you haven't heard, ScrapMatters is having a "Christmas in July" sale this weekend.

Happy July everyone! Sorry the new release is a little late...it's been a crazy month!!! Exciting news though...we found out last Wednesday that baby #3 is going to be another boy!! We couldn't be more thrilled! So, in honor of the new little bundle of joy...I give you "My Boy"!!

I know...it's not very "baby-ish" but don't worry, that one is coming soon!!! And now look at what the AWESOME creative team (old and new) did with the kit!!!

And...I know it's a little late, but better late than never! I finally got around to making a new desktop!!I created it using the new "My Boy" kit, but still tried to keep it just a little "4th of July-ish" for those of us in the states!!

Short and sweet this time, but keep your eyes peeled for some fun new products coming soon!!! Happy Summer, and Happy Scrapping!
