HOLY COW!

Time flies…

What with school and all, I’m still using my photoshoppin’ skillz, but I haven’t done a whole lot of digi-scrapping lately. My favorite designers went out of business (hence the missing graphics in the posts now), but I am still hanging onto those kits…one of these days I need to get back to catching up on the family scrapbooks.

*SIGH*

One day.

I did get this project done recently…proof that I’m still using some of these designing skills. =)

A friend asked for help with her blog…so I photographed and edited and scrapped her up a blog.

I used this retired kit from a retired digi-scrapper (so no links available, sorry).

Thanks for dropping by though…hopefully one of these days, this place will get a little more action! =)

This Day

So I have been trying to get back into being a good creative team member since I was such a slacker in December on the digi-scrap stuff….and this new kit came out today at Funky Playground:

And when I looked at it, it seriously reminded me of my grandma who recently passed away…those were some of her favorite colors and it has a little bit of a retro feel, so I thought I’d do a page about some of my memories of her. 

(Images are linked to the kit.  Fonts: Chopin Script, Myriad Pro.  Page Inspiration: Ali Edwards.  Picture of Grandma’s house was painted by Grandma many years ago, and I took a picture of her painting.)

On My List

Image is linked to kit.  Font is HaloHandletter.  =)

Blessed

I think it’s more than appropriate for this month, although I actually made the layout last month.  But as is always pointed out, we really should be thankful MORE often, than just in the month of November.  And that’s true…we should be thankful more, and complain less…

I used this newly released kit by Ocean Wide Scraps called Many Blessings from Funky Playground Designs (although it’s available at Zig Zag Scraps as well).

Font is Century Gothic in case anyone wanted to know.  LOL.

Bummed

No more Sweet Tomato Designs.  I’m so sad.  It’s really bummed me out…here’s my last design with her stuff.  You can still watch her blog though, she said she may occasionally post free templates.  =) 

This template was in her 365 Templates Pack and I’m definitely hanging on to all this stuff from my time with the team.  LOL.  Must back up all my files just in case.  haha. 

Anyways, this page is K-man’s field trip and I used Beach Cantina by Sweet Tomato and Dominic Designs (I think)

Fonts are Century Gothic, Pea Mee Mee & Pea Sadie from kevinandamanda.com

Retirement

No, it’s not me retiring from blogging…although as busy as I’ve been, perhaps I should…lol!  I haven’t even had time all weekend to get on the computer at ALL, so I’m a little late posting about this, but it’s Monday now and I’m trying to get caught up, so here’s what I’ve got to share:

Yep, Sweet Tomato Designs is retiring from designing.  I am so bummed but this is a great sale!!!  And you don’t want to miss it because this is it.  And her designs are awesome!  Digi land is losing a great one.  =(  So grab some of them while you still can!!  (Image is linked to her store!) 

Hurry, her shop will close after 10/9! 

(OH, and the discount will be applied when you put items in your cart!)

And now I’m off to try to get caught up on the REST of my stuff that I’m behind on….

Old Pics

Somehow I seem to have missed 2008 in my yearly albums, so I’ve been trying to go back and pick up some of those pictures and get them scrapped. 

Here are some from Father’s Day in 2008.  (Wow were the kids little!  yikes)

And okay, okay....what are you getting here, you ask? Well, I thought you'd never ask....


It's an 8x8 quick pages set and it's part two of an awesome set that one of the other CT members and I worked on together. So with these two sets, you can make an awesome quick album that is perfect for spring!! (Set 1 is HERE if you haven't already visited all the other links) and she has great instructions on how to use these if you aren't familiar with using quickpages.

Here are my 4shared links for you to download my part:
LINKS REMOVED

These kits were made using Sweet Tomato Designs kits: Ordinary Moments & You {Sham}Rock My World and don't forget to check out her shop at Polka Dot Plum because I hear that she's having an extra 20% off sale this week (discount should show up in your cart). Also, these pages were created from Sweet Tomato's 365 templates (some were slightly modified to fit 8x8 scale) but if you like the layouts, here are the links: I used templates from Set 4, Set 6, & Set 7 . (The specific template# is listed on the preview under each quick page). They are awesome templates!

Chores/Routine

Here's what I've been working on...these are using Danielle Corbitt's Recyled Art Kit....this is the first one that I've gotten the photos in...I'm working on the others but I need the photos before they're finished.

What do you think...wouldn't cards like this make you wanna do your chores?


These are in 4x6 size and I'm gonna get them printed as regular photos and then laminate them into cards and either put them on a binder ring or fix some kind of hooks for them to hang on. I've got more, but not finished yet, so I'll post some of the others when I get them done. =)

More Layouts...
