international scrapbooking day 2012
Posted on May 5, 2012
Woo! A scrapbooking holiday (and my husband’s 35th birthday ~ happy birthday Vince!)
There’s lots of fun stuff going on in the digital scrap world today. I have a bunch of new products to share here, some recent layouts and a coupon for extra savings next week! Here we go…
CLICK HERE FOR MY DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING STORE. Everything is 30% off this weekend!
These are my two May BYOC products. Don’t you just love these colors? To see the entire BYOC line, make sure to check HERE.


Then we had some “Special Saturday” releases today and I released two more new products.
Click HERE for Odds & Ends 1, a pretty mix of buttons, ribbons and flowers.

I also released a collab with one of my favorite fellow designers. Perhaps you saw our sneak peek picture floating around FB last week. I love The Big Bang Theory and this was my inspiration for creating this kit:

I drafted up some colors, Jacque was totally on board and we came up with this fun, geeky kit:

It’s filled with all sorts of science bits, nerdy things, a paper doll superhero and cape and of course, underroos. ;)
You can find that collab in the shop right HERE.
Speaking of Jacque and collabs, won’t you take a moment to check out this amazing LilyPad collab, created with Jacque’s amazing brother in mind?
from Jacque:
There are over 600,000 people in the US living with brain tumors. There are over 120 different types of brain tumors. My sweet brother, Jay, is one of those statistics.
As May is Brain Tumor Awareness month this kit was designed to support and celebrate those affected by brain tumors. With Jay’s tumor came chemo and radiation and hospital stays. But it also brought hope, a desire to be involved and recognition of his great accomplishments and skills. This kit speaks to the devastation of brain tumors but also to the amazing functioning of our brains! Jay is a prime example. He is smart, kind, talented and determined. His ability to cope and persist is unmatched. He is the motivator behind this kit. Support and celebrate with us through Brain Smart! I am so grateful to be a part of an amazingly talented and GIVING community. The-LilyPad designers have been so supportive in contributing to this AMAZING collab! ALL proceeds from sales during the month of May will go directly to http://www.braintumor.org/giving/donate-now.html. This will allow the National Brain Tumor Society to advance research for a cure and to provide much-needed programs and services to meet the needs of patients and families coping with a brain tumor today. Families just like mine!

I’ve done some scrapping recently. Not as much as I would have liked but it’s a start. April and May are/were super-busy for me in terms of photography, so I have to take what I can get as far as Photoshop time goes. Since it’s scrapbook weekend 2012, I hope to maybe squeeze one layout in before tomorrow night rolls around.
All of my credits can be found in my Lilypad gallery HERE.

seventh week, done! | project life
Posted on February 27, 2012
I finally had some time during the kids’ Winter Break to play in Photoshop (which was a feat in itself seeing as I had to make time first to edit my sessions and then fight all three kids off hourly. They discovered Moshi Monsters last week. We ended up compromising: I worked in the mornings while they each completed five simple chores and checked them off their white board. A completed list equaled computer time later in the day).
I used some of my new cards here. So happy I got to use that green one with the pink heart. Love those colors. :)
This week I especially loved the family drawing Andrew did for us (that is hanging on his bedroom door) and Emily’s hand with the descriptive words her classmates wrote about her on it. This was such a cute idea and I am so happy she brought it home to us on Valentine’s Day. She ended up cutting out 5 hearts from paper and passing them around to each of us. At the end of them circulating, each family member had a heart with words that the other 4 wrote about that person: creative, hardworking, smart, etc. Such a cute idea. Thanks Emmie. :)

I have a little freebie I am offering here for the week. It will be active from now until Friday evening. If I leave it up for too long my bandwith skyrockets.
*thanks for stopping by but the freebie isn’t available any longer*

freebie offered from 2/27-3/2
If you grab it, leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you. Enjoy!

fifth week, done! | project life
Posted on February 11, 2012
I actually had these done a few days ago but they needed minor finishing touches which I had pushed aside. I really like how colorful this week’s pages are compared to last week’s. Note to self: I think I extra-love this week’s spread because it includes handwritten papers/drawings from the kids. Include more of those in the future.
If you are doing your project digitally, have you been printing your pages? I have! I never print my layouts in a timely manner but I changed that a few weeks ago and am happy to say that our Project Life album is always up-to-date! This means, kids along with other family (including my 92 year old Grandmother) have enjoyed looking over recent memories so the time and effort has totally been worth it. :)

The page on the right uses one of my new 4×6 photo templates, perfect for including more than one picture or a picture + journaling in a 4×6 spot. Check them out HERE (20% off through the weekend!)

Enjoy the weekend! As for me, I have three shoots to begin editing, one gallery to finish up and a 3rd grade science fair board to put finishing touches on. I also must find time to dive into book 2!
