Hey everyone! Did you catch the Speed Scrap last night? I did! It was really fun and LOTS of people participated. Half the fun was searching through all the random comments to find the instructions. Sheesh!! I saw a couple of familiar faces there. That was nice too! Here is my final result:
We HAD to use a flower so that kind of threw me, but I like the end result. I mostly used Miss Mint's FREE kit this month
{Wild Weekend}. Notice the little clear date button? Hmmmm. Could be a sneaky peek of something coming on Friday right there.
I also just finished posting a tutorial over on the
SM blog. Check it out here. I ended up making a paper bag album for Father's Day for my hubby. I used GG Digital Designs
{When Daddy Comes Home} kit and GG's stitching packs
1 and
2. Two of my friends and other CT members for GG let me use their quick pages to make the book. I owe them a HUGE thank you!!!! One of the girls, Rhonda, made her Quick Pages into
a mini album available in the GG store here. So cute!! I think she's making a blanket out of these for her hubby. How cool is that? Anyway, here's the finished paper bag book.
And here are a couple of pages that I actually did in the book:
I also used one of GG's
{Time Saver Templates} and her
{Stamped Alpha} for the Josh and Cash page. Love them!
I feel like I haven't posted anything for my CT's lately so here are a few things I've worked on for them.
A clipboard for Maddie's teacher using
{Cirque Du Snap and Scrap}
A hybrid notecard set for the kids' teachers using
{A Touch of Magic} and
{Denim Gal Elements} by Mari Koegelenberg
and a page using the same kit - that I did on Brianne's behalf since she was being a bad guest CT member over at Snap and Scrap and skipped out of town. : )
GG Digital Designs has a super cute new freebie kit out this month called
{Rock-a-Bye Baby} and here's what I made with it.
Here's another page I made with a GG kit called
{Flower Girl}. Can you tell I LOVE being on her team? I seriously LOVE all of her stuff. There is nothing I wouldn't use in some way. It's all so cute! I made this page for the
Template Tuesday challenge at SM. It's a FREE template by Britt-ish Designs. Can't go wrong with anything from Britt either! I also used a fabric tag from Britt and Mira Designs collab kit
{Crazy Little Thing Called Love}.
Here's another page I just finished that I really like. I used
{Distressed Frames} {Grids Clean Paper} and
{Wrinkled Black Alpha} all by Dirty Feet Designs at ScrapMatters. It also has a ribbon from
{I'm A Dreamer} by Britt-ish Designs and some other stuff by me.
There is also a new collab kit out at ScrapMatters by Andilynn Designs, Happy Scrap Girl, and SHARIng Creations called
{Refresh}. Lots of fun summery colors - really cute. Here's what I did with it.
Next week at Snap and Scrap we'll be spotlighting Mel Wilson's new kit {Dinner Party}. This kit is so gorgeous!!!! I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but as soon as I do I'll be back to post my LO. Check it out
here.Holy moly that was a huge post!!! That's what happens when you spend all your time playing with CS3 and not being a good blogger. Yes, I finally got PSCS3!!! Woo hoo!!!! I ended up getting it from Amazon.com from the new & used section for about $200 and it's brand new. I don't know if it "fell off the back of a truck" or why it was so cheap. I emailed the seller and he said that he buys like 5000 at a time and that's why he can sell them so cheap. I don't know. It was brand new and in the factory packaging. I was able to register it and I've done an update already. The price changes just about everyday on Amazon so I just kept checking it. It was usually around $300 so when I saw it for $200 I jumped on it. Luckily I'd just finished piano lessons for the year and everyone had paid me on time so I actually had the money already. I was worried that it was going to be really hard to use and figure out, but it's almost exactly the same. There are more tools and things I don't know how to use yet, but mostly it's better. I love it! I just need to get better at saving things as I'm working on them because I've had it crash a few times. Grrrrr. I think I just had to much stuff going on that it had to shut down. Well, that's all I've got for today. See you on Friday for the new release!

Okay, well I guess this isn't totally new but I did manage to put it together this week! I've been meaning to do it for a while now. This is the alpha from my first kit "On The Playground." It's a fun sparkly sticker alpha. I just love sparkles!
And of course, new releases wouldn't be the same without a freebie!! So here ya go! I wanted to do something more patriotic for my All-American Kids kit. Included are two papers, 3 glittery stars, 1 star rub-on, 1 firecracker doodle, 1 fireworks doodle, 1 wordart, and 1 tag. Wow! That's a whole little mini-kit, you lucky ducks!
