Cat Life

 I got so excited about the last release and my trip to Tennessee that I completely spaced posting about Twin Mom Scraps newest kit, Cat Life.  I love the colors of this kit! And I love that I have kitties, so it was perfect.

And as usual, it's on sale!! Get the kit for less than $5 or the bundle for less than $10!

My pages feature my Meows.

You should definitely drop in to Gingerscraps an check them out. Or, if you prefer, head over to My Memories and grab them there!

Traveler's Notebook

 I am so excited to be on ANOTHER CT. This time, it's not for a kit designer but a template designers. Templates are pretty much my favorite thing ever. When I first started scrapping, I thought they were cheating. But now that I've discovered how amazing they are, I have definitely changed my mind. I've been known to use the same template over and over, changing things around, flipping them upside down or rotating them. It just makes the pages go so much faster.

Not only did I get on a template design team, but I'm fairly certain that Ms Fish is one of the greatest template designers of the moment!! Of all the templates I've purchased, 90% of them are hers. So this was an extra privilege and honor for me to be picked for her team, even though it's temporary.

I present to you, Ms Fish's Traveler's Notebook Journey Bundle!

Can you see which page I did?!

How amazing is this sale, though?

Hold, Please

 I wrote this poem a few years ago. Finally got around to scrapping it. <3 

Kit is my new favorite- it's called Take Note and it was one of the prizes from Ginger Scrap's Summer Scrap A Thon. For real, I love it so much!!

New Month: New Challenges: New Kits!!

 Last month was SO MANY layouts!!!!

I highly doubt I'll get another 31 pages done, but I am excited about the options both at GS and Sweet Shoppe. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really REALLY wish Sweet Shoppe had kits as their rewards. If you do 8 pages, you get 25% off a kit, 16 pages gets you 40% off.

At Gingerscraps, however, doing 10 pages gets you an awesome kit- THAT YOU GET TO USE for an automatic next month's challenge. 

Before I explain the challenges I'm most excited about, I want to introduce you to Book Nook, by Twin Mom Scraps. Remember you can join her FB Fan Group for freebies and chances to win her kits. 

As usual, it's on sale.  BUY IT HERE

There's actually a whole bundle if you want a great deal.

OH, did you want to see what I made with it?! Good, because I love this. I do realize the placement of "My Favorite" makes it look like Lorelai specifically is my favorite, but no. It's that Xander and Lorelai are such good buddies. Seeing them together- that's my favorite!!!

I was able to use that page in the Buffet Challenge at Gingerscraps this month. I"m very much looking forward to participating in the Daily Download challenge for the first time (though I did miss 3 days, so I don't have a whole alpha). Other challenges I can't wait for at GS include Year of Blessings, where I'll talk about work, All About Me, where I get to talk about FOOTBALL, Document Your Life where I get to feature my sailor, and the journaling prompt where I'll be sharing a poem I wrote.

Over at Sweet Shoppe, I am excited to particpate in the "currently" challenge, talking about what I'm watching or reading, I'm still trying to decide. I also love that I can do a page about my favorite things I did this summer, plus pages featuring a big ampersand and torn edges. 

It's going to be a great Scrappy month and I also convinced my parents to send me some photos, so be looking for some vintage images!!

Actually, I think I"m going to enter this page into the "happy or meloncholy" page since I feel like my dad and his brothers are your standard oldest, middle, youngest. My dad's being a little silly in the pic, his big brother standing straight up listening, and his little brother wondering why he has to stand there at all. My grandma looks beautiful here, but tired, as I'm sure being a single mom was.

The kit I used for that one was called Adventures in Memory Keeping by K Cronin.
