Soft Blankets

Yay, it's Friday! I'm happy to say we made it through our first week of school! The kids did great and love their new teachers. Cash and I had so much fun just hanging out together in the QUIET. It's been a GREAT week!

I've managed to get sooooo much work done this week (I wonder why?!) and I've got a new release. Soft Blankets!

These colors reminded me of my sweet babies and their blankies (which of course were soft!) I'm so clever. Yeah right!

Here are a few LOs my fantabulous CT made with it:

Brianne (how super gorgeous is this?! I love that "Shh" font!)

Wendy (check out the adorable chubbiness of this little guy's cheeks!!! Love all the circles on this one!)
Stacy (oh so precious!!!)

Christy (more super gorgeousness!!!)
Crystal (love the border stitching and the hanging tag on this one!)
and finally one from me


And I promised a freebie today so here it is!

A couple of freebies!

First of all there's a new Daily Download starting today over at SM. No, I'm NOT doing it again so soon. The Design Apprentices at ScrapMatters are and it is FABULOUS! Here's a little sneak peek:
Hurry! The links will expire every 24 hours! Get them here.

And lastly, I can't believe I forgot to post this over here before I left for vacation! How stupid am I? I did the hybrid project blog post over at SM last Thursday and have a little goodie to share. Check it out here.

Enjoy! I'll be back on Friday with a new release and maybe another freebie!

Just some LOs

Nothing major going on 'round here. Just trying to hold on to my sanity until next week when the kids will FINALLY go back to school. Then I'll only have one at home!!!! Ahhhhhh, I can almost hear the peace and quiet now.

Anywho, I haven't posted some of my own LOs in a while so I thought I'd share what I've been up to lately. Here are a few:

Just a couple of LOs I finished in the last week or two. That may seem like a lot to some, but if you could just see the amount of pictures and scrapping I have to do it would seem like a drop in the bucket!!! I am SOOOOOO far behind!

Well, that's all for now. We're getting ready to head down to Galveston for the weekend - one last hurrah before school starts. See you next week!

Grab Bag Revealed!

The time has come my friends - to reveal the contents of my first ever grab bag. Here it is (was?):

{Sunshine Everyday}

images are clickable

This kit includes 2 full paper packs!

and a complete white glitter glue-like alpha!

Also included in my grab bag and now sold separately is
{Sunshine Everyday Stitches, Frames, and Mats}

And (yes, there was more stuff packed in there!)
{Krafty Prints}


and {Grocery Bag Alpha}

All these sets are now being sold separately at ScrapMatters. I've got one more little mini kit up in the shop today too!

This little mini was a prize for only a select few at ScrapMatters but it's now available in my shop.

Here's what my new (and totally awesome!) CT did with the contents of my grab bag.

Kathleen
Stephanie did 2!

Crystal
Stacy

Wendy (I love how she changed the background color to match the roses!)
Tammy
Chrsti did two as well!

And one from me

Whew! That's a lot of images - sorry! Hope you all have a great weekend!

It's OPEN!!!!

Yippeee!!! It's finally here! The Grand Re-Opening of ScrapMatters!

If you're here for the Round-the-World Blog Tour keep scrolling down. : )

To celebrate we're having TONS of challenges and freebies and of course, a sale! FYI: We haven't gotten all of the kinks worked out at the new site and the sale prices won't show up until they're in your cart. The grab bags are not marked down again because, let's face it - they're already a STEAL!!! I've got a few new things in the shop as well. Check 'em out:

I've got my first ever Grab Bag up and it is HUGE!!! Almost 400 MB kind of HUGE - for only $4. I must be crazy! (There might be a sneak peek of what's inside it down at the end of this post?)

Also new to the store is {Summer Breeze}. This was previously the July Daily Download over at SM so if you missed it then it's in the shop now along with the coordinating brag book.


Here's a LO one of my new CT members, Christy, (see announcement below!) created with it:

So perfect!!! I love it!

{Summer Breeze} is my first ever collab too - with Andrea of Andilynn Designs. I love her designs and had a blast collaborating with her!

This paper pack was available at Snap and Scrap for a short while but it's only available exclusively at ScrapMatters now - just like the rest of my stuff. : )

And last but certainly not least I finally picked my creative team! I had tons of great applicants but unfortunately I couldn't choose everyone. I did go way over the 4-5 members I thought I wanted to pick - there were just too many to turn away! I think this team ROCKS though and can't wait to work with all of them! Here they are:

A few friends from ScrapMatters, a few new friends, a few friends of a friend, and a sister - looks like a great team to me!!! Now - go shopping!!! I know I am - : )

ScrapMatters Round-the-World Blog Tour

Welcome to stop #11 on the Round-the-World Blog Tour!

I live in the great state of Texas where it's stinkin' HOT and sticky right now! It's also the home of these famous places:

Big Tex welcoming everyone to the the State Fair of Texas and the Cotton Bowl

Cadillac Ranch outside of Amarillo, Texas

Big Bend National Park


The Alamo in San Antonio (where we spent our honeymoon because hubby is a die-hard born and raised Texan! Yes, I'm totally serious.)

The Texas Bluebonnet - these are one of my favorite things about living in Texas. In the spring fields will be just FILLED with them. Awesome photo ops!

The weather is crazy hot around here but I can't think of a better to live! We live very close to most of my family and my husband's family. What could be better than that? So here's your souvenir from the great state of Texas:
