This LO was created with Randi's portion of Gotta Pixel's "gotta grab it event". Everything is SO BRIGHT and SO MUCH FUN! My lil man provides the perfect pics for FUN LO's!! Here is mine:


I also just realized that I never posted my LO's created with Randi's latest full kit, Ronnee's Drawer available at Gotta Pixel and ACOT
Here they are! This is really a gorgeous kit and so easy to work with!




....and

Recipe!

So, I've been thinking about digiscrapping all of my favorite recipes. I was going to create a 6X6 or 8X8 book (and I still may) but DST has a 4X6 recipe swap going on, so I thought I would join in! Here is my recipe submission! (BTW: This is one of my FAVORITE recipes of all time!!)

Here are two layouts I finished this weekend with Matahati's Desgins.

This and That

Here is one more LO created with Randi's Winter kit, Fresh Snow



and here is my most recent LO created with Matahati Dessign and JanaM's collab kit, Color Me Happy! This is such an incredibly fun kit and *perfect* for my fun 2 year old!!




I am Zakirah's (Matahati Desings) guest for December and am sooo excited about working with her fabulous designs!! More awesome LO to come! :)


I've been working on a lot more lately, but they are all projects for other people (mostly Christmas cards). How sad is it that I've designed 10 cards the past week or two...and I haven't eve TAKEN our Xmas pics yet! Yikers!!

I think I've found a new fav designer! Cori Gammon! Her stuff is a little bit different that most of my fav's...more fun and funky...less soft and realistic!! Seriously, I have half of her store added to my wish list!

Have you seen the new store started by Amy Hutchinson, After Five??? It opened yesterday and, lets just say...I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED....obviously, as I bought 4 kits and then got the free one b/c I spent over $10. I think this will be one of my new favorite stores!

I hope to get some LO's created with the other new designs soon. Life has gotten incredibly busy again and I just haven't had as much "play" time. I've also really cranked up my workouts. I'm lifting again and training for a run. So, that is taking up my early morning computer time...Sigh, time...there just isn't enough of it!

LO and silly video

and a video of my silly boy:



Anytime, silly boy sees us with a water bottle he always wants it...not to necessarily drink, but to play with. He got a hold of my bottle yesterday and I took it from him. He got pretty upset and started to throw a little tantrum. Mia looked at me and said "come on mom, he just wants to have fun" and I thought "yeah...whats the big deal...its just water and it IS summer time." So, I gave him back the bottle and boy, did he have fun!! Why, oh why...do I even bother buying this kid toys!?

My silly boy!

Created using Jennifer Tripetti's Boyish Charm Kit.

Adoption Announcement

I made for a Holt BB buddy. (I've changed all of the personal info). She saw the blended LO I did several weeks ago and asked if I could turn it into announcement....wasn't sure how it would work out, but I think it turned out well. She's happy and thats all that really matters.

Found another fav designer...
