Sea Isle City

My best friend's family is in Sea Isle City, New Jersey.  She loves it there!  I asked her to share some photos from her last visit and thought I'd share my favorites . . .

Wanna Play Ball?

A fun kit filled with softball/baseball and basketball themed elements . . . perfect for your summer sport layouts!  Just last night our family went to a local minor league baseball game and I cannot wait to scrap those photos with this kit!

Bradley's Charm . . . My sweet, sweet boy.

So I created a kit based on some of my most favorite photos of Bradley . . . my youngest son.  He is stylish and trendy some days and all boy other days. 

This kit is masculine with bits of creative flair and titled Bradley's Charm . . . available on Friday, May 21st at ScrapMatters!

Focus . . . the kit.

I'm so excited about this kit . . . it is my first collaboration kit . . . with Cara of Sweet Tomato Designs and Heather of Heather Hess Designs. 

It is all about photography!  We made it diverse enough that you can use it for every day layouts or "focus" on photography layouts.  An of course named . . . Focus

In conjunction with the release at PolkaDotPlum, Heather and I (who are both on the PDP Creative Team) are hosting a new monthly photography challenge.  It is really two-fold . . . a weekly focus that includes tutorials and lessons and a monthly focus which is a list of photography prompts.  Come on over and check it out . . . it's a lot of fun and promises to make us all better photographers which is really a core element to scrapping right?  There's even a Focus blog . . . with a chance to win Focus FREE!

Check out some of the layouts our creative teams made . . .

Happy Friday!

Sneak Peek!

Oh my gosh . . . I am sooooooo over the top excited about this new kit . . . it is a collab with Sweet Tomato Designs and Heather Hess Designs . . . Cara created the color palette and guided us through the collab.  Heather brought her amazing realistic design style and doodles . . . you won't want to miss this one!

I'm back with new stuff . . .

After disappearing for a while. . . actually I was just spending a lot of time designing and scrapping (I'm a scrapping contest junkie - read about my adventures here) . . . I'm back with some new products!!

I am so excited about these Stitched Borders . . .

they can help you create a simple layout quickly with minimal fuss . . . simply add a title, maybe an element or two along with your photos and you're done! 

Here's an example of a layout I created for my sister using a stitched border in the center of the layout with journaling right on it!

I also have a full kit available (you can also grab just the alphaor just the papers) called Spring Blush. . . our fruit trees are just starting to get blossoms, but this would work well for Easter layouts, your feminine layouts and more . . . I even scrapped my pooch! 

Look at what the ScrapMatters Creative Team did with this!

It's a Quick Page Exchange featuring Love Ya!

Amanda over at ScrapMatters is hosting a Quick Page Exchange this month featuring my Love Ya kit . . . so you can snag it at 30% off!






I'll admit, I've never participated in a Quick Page Exchange . . . but what an AMAZING way to create an album quickly . . . basically we all create one quick page that is missing the journaling, photo and title. Then you simply customize and it's ready for the album!

Let's do it!

Featured at TDS Studio and Published in Scrap Artisian Magazine!

Wow . . . what an exciting month for me! I'm the featured designer at TDS Studio . . . with an exclusive kit called My Heart Sings:

I also have a layout in the February issue of Scrap Artisian magazine using one of ChrissyW's fabulous templates and my Love Ya kit!

But . . . I still had time to create something new for you . . . a fun set of three, love themed, layered templates - Show Me the Love Template Set:

They pair perfectly with my Love Ya kit!

Hey . . . have you heard?

I'm now exclusively at ScrapMatters! After guesting there in November, I made the switch in December. While I was sad to leave all my friends at DesignsInDigital, I'm excited to settle into my new home.

If you haven't visited yet . . . YOU MUST!! I'll admit that I'm a forum challenge junkie and typically spend my Saturday mornings in pajamas, scrapping challenge layouts. ScrapMatters has amazing challenges that are updated on a weekly, biweekly and monthly basis. The best part is . . . you earn a point for each layout you create and post and a bonus point for using a new product. At the end of the month, you will get a coupon for a percentage off in the store or even free products! Check it out here!

In December I also started working fulltime again, outside the house. WHAT A TRANSITION it has been . . . so I've neglected this blog, but promise with the new year to again start posting regularly (do you read New Year's resolution here?). So, what new kits have I done? Glad you asked . . . here are this week's new releases:

Love Ya Kit (papers also available separately)
