HARVEST: the winners!

I'm genuinely sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, but here are the winners of my latest challenge:

Congratulations to amber, zibr1, and creative chaos!  Please email me and let me know which kit you would like the download links to. (You may choose from my California, School, Whimsy, and Change (paper pack only) kits.)

Thanks to everyone for participating.  I apologize if I didn't get a chance to comment on everyone's layouts...they were definitely AMAZING though.  I was also so excited that there were a few of you joining your very first challenge!  I do hope you will continue to join others- it's a great way to try something new and stretch your creative boundaries. 

I hope you are all doing well and have much to be thankful for this holiday season.  Let's not let the hustle and bustle of it all get in the way of remembering what is truly important.  I am already feeling the stress, but I know that if I'm not intentional about focusing on what really matters, it will all come and go without much meaning.  With that being said, here are some of my recent layouts using some fabulous products from Fei Fei's Stuff and TaylorMade Designs that are perfect for documenting all of your priceless holiday moments.  Thanks for looking!

COMING SOON: fabulous new collab kit

I am so excited to announce that a fabulous new collaboration kit between Paislee Press and Fei Fei's Stuff  called "Embrace" will be released on September 17 at Oscraps.  It is a BEAUTIFUL kit and I had so much fun playing with it.  It is definitely a MUST HAVE!  Both designers will also be hosting a challenge on their blogs on the day of the release, so be sure to check it out!

Here is a sneak peek...Don't you just LOVE it?!? 

And here is a page from me.  Thanks for looking!

TWO AMAZING KITS: plum autumn & est.

I recently got the chance to play with two amazing kits from my fav designers at Oscraps.  The first one is from Fei Fei's Stuff called "Plum Autumn".  It is full of gorgeously textured/patterned papers and beautiful, delicate elements inspired by autumn and shades of plum. It is a BEAUTIFUL kit and so easy to create layouts with.

Here are two layouts I did with this kit using some recent photos of Ethan.

 

  

The second kit is a collaboration simply called "est." by TaylorMade Designs and Paislee Press.  It is going to be released at Oscraps today.   These two designers have wonderful kits on their own, so you can imagine just how great a collaboration would be.  This kit is STUNNING to say the least, filled with beautifully colored papers and a ton of elements that can be used for so many projects.  The beauty of this kit easily inspires great layouts.

Here are the layouts I did with this kit using photos from our family beach trip. Thanks for looking!

SERENDIPITY: a new collab kit

Exciting news today! Fei Fei's Stuff and Joyce Paul have released their new collaboration kit "Serendipity" today at Oscraps and Shabby Pickle Designs. It is an amazing kit- great colors, fantastic papers, and elements that I know I will use over and over again.

And...there was a question on one of the posts regarding the term "CU". Any product with that label is available for "Commercial Use", meaning it can be used to create items that are to be sold. Hope that helps!

Lastly...Keep those challenge layouts coming! I have been so inspired by everything so far, and reading about what you have learned has been a wonderful learning experience in itself. Even if you have never entered a challenge before, or are new to digital scrapbooking, join in! I would love to see what you come up with!

Here is the layout I did with "Serendipity" about Ethan's constant state of curiosity and discovery...something I hope will never change.
