Grab Bag Blog Train!

Woot!  Woot!  Welcome to your next stop on the blog train, Vancouver, BC (Canada).  You should have arrived from Wendy’s blog.  I am absolutely LOVING this grab bag.  How about you?  The colors are fabulous and I especially love that the designers really collaborated on their kits, so each piece coordinates with the others.  It’s like one HUGE collab kit!

Here’s my quickpage (the link to the blank one is below – no picture, no title):

All of the lovely designers over at ScrapMatters release their new products on Friday.  As if Fridays weren’t exciting enough, there’s always lots of great new products to look forward to!  Here’s what Haynay Designs and WM[squared] released today, as well as what I did with each of their beautiful products:

Project 365

i’ve been terrible about posting my Project 365 LOs here.  sorry guys!  actually taking the pictures is no problem, it’s the posting them to my personal blog, scrapping them, and posting the LOs that really starts to take time!  here are the most recent pages i’ve done:

(not sure why wordpress keeps cutting off the size of all my pictures.  sorry about that!)

all throughout the month of May, ScrapMatters hosted a competition called “Queen of Scrap” where everyone competed to see who could create (and post) the most layouts.  i, by no means, came anywhere near winning, but i had fun seeing how many i could do in a month.  there were also prizes, so that was fun!  anyway, here are just a few of the LOs i did.  all images are linked to my gallery at SM, so you can click over there to see the credits and you can also browse my others if you’d like!

braggin’ rights

can i brag for just one second?  i promise i’ll be quick, but i just can’t help sharing a bit of news that has me rather excited!  Mary over at ScrapMatters chose me for the Grand Theft LO Challenge.  here are the links to the blog post and the thread in the forum that explain the challenge and give more details.  my favorite part is looking at all the amazing LOs the other ladies have done.  i’ve seen quite a few that are way better than mine.  i think i’m going to have to scraplift a scraplift or two!  😀

WM[squared] Designs is great about kindly giving us CT gals sneak peaks at new kits to post on our blogs.  I’m really REALLY excited about the kit she will be releasing this week.  Let’s just say that I will be using it a TON to scrap my pics from the past few years.  Is that enough of a hint?  😉  Here’s the sneak peak she released:

Be sure to check her store at ScrapMatters tomorrow to get it!
