Robin ROCKS!!!

I must say that I am totally smitten with Robin Blakenship, as a person, a friend and a designer :) Her designs (aka as Mad Scrapper designs) are amazing. Here are two layouts that I created using her Wendi's World Kit and Adventures in Fun. Robin is the Featured Designer at Treasures to Scrap in June. I would certainly get over to TTS in June and take advantage of her being out Featured Designer! Her stuff is fun and totally matches her personality.



This layout I did for a lyrics Challenge at Tally Scrapper. The assignment was to hit shuffle on your MP3 player and scrap the first song that came up. Mine was Wrinkles by Diamond Rio....I have ALWAYS wanted to scrap that song and you can imagine how surprised I was when that was the song that came up!

May's Featured Designer....

at Treasures to Scrap...is the amazing and talented: Joanne Bain (aka Doin it Digital Designs) and TRUST ME when I tell you her kits will rock your world. They are absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!

Scrappin Nut Designs.....

beautiful beautiful designs lead me to create these two layouts that are a couple of my favorites.

Here is a layout I did using her Royal Beauty Kit except the Alpha tags which are from her Sienna Springs......A layout about my awesome Aunt Carolyn. I am lovin this Royal Beauty kit. It is so beautiful!

Journaling: When I got married, this is one of the perks I got. AC....Ron’s Aunt Carolyn. Thus her nickname from me.....AC (Aunt Carolyn) She is such a cool and awesome lady and I love her to pieces. This picture was taken at her and Uncle Gene’s Anniversary.

to one of the designers I create for. I am starting off the new and improved...OK the UPDATED Gone Scrap Crazy by showing off some stuff I have creating for GRETCHEN TRIPP!! She was one of the first people that took a chance and invited me to be on her Creative Team. I LOVE to create with Gretchen's items. Her kits are so versatile and I love that I can pull from her other other kits and so many work together. Gretchen's kits can be found here:

Here is a sampling of some layouts I have done using Gretchen Amazing Kits!


This is the second of two layouts I created for Gretchen Tripp's Creative Team using her Be Still kit. I LOVE this kit. It is so versatile and has some great elements. My niece insisted on me taking this picture of her holding and Easter Egg...I really didn't want the Egg in this picture Our sweet niece Cassidy. She is such a pumpkin and we just love her to pieces. Photo taken on Easter Sunday 2007.


Gretchen Tripp's Be Still Kit; I also used Katie Pertiet's Fabric Flowers and recolored it. I also used Katie's notebook papers and folded cardboard corner, K Mccombs Spiralicious swirls.



This is one of two layout's I created using Gretchen Tripp's Be Still kit as part of her creative team. It was absolutely perfect for my Nephew's Confirmation pictures. I simply love this great kit!! My nephew is such a good kid. His faith is very important to him and it was such a pleasure to be able to share his special day with him..... Sheldon on his confirmation day with his gorgeous cake. Sheldon is such a special boy, so talented and totally irreplaceable and one special Nephew.

Everything on here is Gretchen's Be Still kit with a few exceptions.; Safety pin Tag Katie Pertiet's and the Stacked photo frames.; Fonts used: Jackson Junior Sans

I am smitten with this layout. I actually did this for a challenge at one of my scrapbooking sites. The challenge was to use a Clock on a layout......and well.....


This is also a layout I did for my Grandmother. This was taken at her 100th Birthday party in January, so I am going to have it printed and frame it for her for Christmas this year.

As always, thanks for stopping by and taking a peak at my layouts....many more to come.......see ya around.

Well...I am back....

two months later and I think I have finally put my finger on what I want this blog to be. I want it to be a place to advertise for my CT's and favorite designers. So stayed tuned and watch for some exciting stuff.

I am so honored to "work" for the awesome people I do and now it is my turn to buckle down and tell all of you just how great they are....or rather show u!!

STAYED TUNED!!

Just a layout I created for a duel purpose. As CT work and for my Book of Me....

Journaling: For my Book of Me the challenge question was.......scrapbook about your addiction(s) I thought it was racing until I read the definition.....”An addiction is a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individuals health, mental state or social life.” After reading this, I decided that there is no addiction here. Serious or fun, the nearest addiction I have is food, but even I can control that. I have decided that I am addicted to life....to being alive and living each moment....probably the greatest addiction one can have.

A picture of Ron and I in Mexico this past Winter. I love this photo.....kind of dorky, but still love it.

Journaling: There is no one that I would rather spend time with than you and each moment with you is something special. Mexico, 2007

I did these layouts using some pictures that I swore I would never scrap. These are all pictures I took out of our airplane window before we left Cancun and just shortly after we got into the air. I didn't realize how much I loved the one that is pictured below. So here they are completely scrapped and done. Yeah!!

Doing a layout about myself isn't always easy. I did this layout for one of my CT Assignments. I used my favorite Quote "Life is Team Sport" and wrote just a little bit about me. In a weird sort of way I really like this layout. It turned out better than I thought it would.

GREAT STUFF at Treasures to Scrap!

HOW exciting is this???? Treasures to Scrap is having it's DIGITAL store GRAND OPENING on August, 6th. If your a digi scrapper, mark your calendar and visit TTS. They have awesome designers over at TTS! Check it out!

I recently created these two layouts using papers and embellishments from Dawn Inskip's Secret Garden kit. This kit is available for purchase at www.kjoistudios.com beside that, site owner Kara Jones and other designers have some awesome stuff in the store. I am having alot of fun being on Kara's Creative Team and have had fun designing with the items available in the K-Joi store.

I also used Corked items from Paula Duncan. Paula's Corked Items as well as all her other kicking kits are available at www.sweetshoppedesigns.com Stop over and visit Paula's Store. I have found endless uses for that cork! I LOVE that stuff! Participated in a Creative Team challenge using the cork and ended up creating 14 different layouts with it!

I did these layouts about my favorite dirt drivers. It seems that some of my favorite layouts are my racing ones. Oh Imagine that :)
