GREAT News AND a freebie

I was asked to be an official CT member of Purple Tulip Designs!!! The designer is my friend Suzanne, who is inspirational. I love her stuff and am so proud to show it off. She helped me learn everything I needed to know to get into scrapbooking.

This is her new release that I am SO excited about, since I am just going back to Jackson's birth pictures. Here is Too Cute Boy

Here is my sweet little Jackson at 2 weeks old.

If you are like me and like to scrap with Freebies, Purple Tulip Designs is GIVING AWAY this kit she made earlier in her design career. I have made several layouts with this one previously. LOVE it! Snag it Here

Jelly Beans

A new easter kit is out at iscrapbook: Jelly beans. Once again, I used my neighbors picture for this one since I have no cute easter pics of Jackson.

Kids at play

There is a GREAT collab at Scrapmatters called Kids at play. I love all the fun elements and colors. Here is a double page spread featuring GORGEOUS pics that Dave took. I love this kid!

Here is Sarah's re-released kit "Memories of you" I had so much fun playing with all the pieces that I had to make a couple of pages. Here is my beautiful niece:
and our family

Size Matters

I love this layout because I still laugh when I think of Jackson trying to get into the car.

This one is by a designer Connie Prince. I love her boy products!
Journaling reads: One of the most frustrating days of your life was one of the funniest for me!. You LOVE getting in & out of little coupe cars. When you found this little car at grandmas, you knew exactly what to do . . . open the door and hop right in! But there was a slight problem . . . you were so determined you tried for over 20 mins to get in.

Hoppy Easter!

DK designs (i.e. Cherity Andersen) just came out with a cute spring kit called Hoppy Easter:

Since it was pretty girly, I asked if I could scrap my neighbors spring photos. Here is a little girl only 4 days younger than Jackson . . . I'll be honest, they have kissed already!

Remember This

Here is my layout from Sarah's new kit "Remember this"
You can check it out here:
You remember this little boy? This was a year ago! I can't believe it!

Here is another layout using the Spunky Monkey kit shown earlier. It was funny that I was scrapping this event right when Jackson was sick again! It is so sad! I will have an update on our family blog soon.

One more designer: Purple Tulip Designs

One other designer that I love is my friend Suzanne. I am not actually on her CT, but I she is still really nice with sharing her products and I love to use them! I made so many layouts with just this one kit she made! Check it out bright lights

Just a few of my favorite layouts

Sometimes I get done with a layout and I just like to look at it . . . I guess that is the point though! I have the cutest little boy to scrapbook! My house . . . can you relate?

Priceless matching pic with daddy:

Other products from Sarah

Here are a few more of my favorite products as of late:

Here is tough boys:
And a layout from my intramural championship days:

This is my absolute favorite kit. It is probably the entire reason I tried out to be on Sarah's CT!

Storytime:
Who says digital scrapping limits you to digital pictures? This is a scanned in letter from a student:

And a precious storytime with Grandpa:

Jumping in

I have improved my scrapping skills enough to be allowed to create for a couple of designers. I am really excited about this. What it means is that they give me free products in return for me to make some layouts and try to promote their work. So as to not overwhelm those who are uninterested in my scrapping adventures on my family blog, so I thought I would just post over here for those who would like to see.

I was just put on a CT (Creative Team) for Designs by Sarah Bennett. I absolutely love her products and have been so excited to get creating! This is her newest product: spunky monkey
Here is my layout:Here are some other new releases I am enjoying:


You can purchase them here. Here is what I came up with:

I am also on a CT (creative team) for DK designs. Their products are sold at iscrapbook.com

The "I do" kit:
And here is my page with a big splash of color:
