More layouts!

Hello all!

Spring Happiness, a collab by the wonderful Christie Lemmon and Steel City Scraps is out.



I finally got to work with this kit, and made several layouts.











Digital Candy had a Blog Train, called My Kind of Rocket, now on sale at Digital Candy.



Here is a page I made using Christie Lemmon's part of the kit, and some word art by Ellie Lash.






I have made one more layout using Ellie Lash's Sugarville. This was made for a Monday Makeover I did on Ellie's CT Blog, see the link to the right to see post there and the old layout I redid. Here is the new one, MUCH better!!

Newest layouts

Hello all!!

I'm back with another drive by post. I thought I'd share all the layouts I've done over the past week or so that I haven't posted yet. These layouts are all done with kits by the wonderful Ellie Lash. I'm so behind I haven't shown you her newest 2 kits, bad on me. Well, wait no more - here they are.

First off is Ellie's newest kit ~ Whimsy.




Here are my layouts ~~~









Last week, Ellie and Melanie of Pixie Keepsakes put out a collab. Perfect for the little pixies in your life --- Pixie Far Away



I've only done one page with this cute kit so far, as I usually scrap my son ~ my girls don't like getting their photo take any more. :(




I have also worked with a few of Ellie's older kits this week. First up is Far Far Away and my layouts using it.







Here is Frogs & Kisses and my layouts.







Finally, I realized when I posted these and looked over my previous posts, I completely forgot to share my layouts for another kit of Ellie's. Oooops!! I did these about a week and a half ago and have posted them at my usual places (DST, JDL, SBG, DC) they just haven't made their way here yet. So, here it is now. This is Ladybug Picnic, and the layouts I made with the cute kit.







Whew. And that's all I have for you for today. I hope you enjoyed, and thank you for stopping by!

Another catching up time

Hello again. Did you miss me? I'm back to work, starting this week, so I won't be around as much any more. Good on the pockets, bad on my scrapping!

But I still have been scraping, and I've done quite a few pages since I last updated you. Here are some.

First up, Christie Lemmon Designs and Steel City Scraps teamed up with Paula Phillips to bring you Among Friends.




I usually am not any good with reds, but this tone ended up matching one of my sons PJs exactly, so that was easy to scrap. I also used Christie's newest templates, Kate Inspired, to make my layouts.



Here are the layouts I made using only Christie Lemmon and Steel City's portions of Among Friends.











I've done some other pages, but they are kind of a mix match of different kits. I like to post them when I have at least 2 from the same kit, so I'll post more another time. Thanks for stopping by!

Random Inspirations newest kit - Moments In Bliss

Finally I can post about my 4th CT for Monica of Random Inspirations. She's been getting up a new store and had a new kit she was working on, so I hadn't had any news until now.

Her new kit - Moments in Bliss - is now up in her store at Inspiration Lane. Here is the preview, clickable to store.




Here are the layouts I made using Moments in Bliss









Monica also has TWO free Quick Pages on her blog, made from 2 members of her CT. You can see them here, and click each to get to her blog to get them free!!







Come back later, I'll probably have my newest layouts up from kits by Ellie Lash.

WOW!!! Wanna win $50 to Mandy Mystiques ES Store?!

Wow - check this out for your chance to win a $50 GC to Mandy Mystiques store at Elemental Scraps. Mandy, aside from my CT teams, is my FAVORITE designer. If you haven't bought from ES yet, check out this chance from Mandy. And if you haven't checked out ES yet, you should just for their $1 Mondays on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month. Great stuff!!

Here's the info from Mandy's Blog, which you can also click ----> to your right to get to as well, she's in my favorites.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Want to win a $50 Gift Certificate to MANDY MYSTIQUES ES Shop?

Elemental Scraps is having a designer contest to see who can recruit the most new customers. So i’ve decided to run a little contest of my own!For each NEW customer that makes a purchase in my Elemental Scraps Shop through the month of March will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate at the end of the month. I will draw three names!

First Place=$50 GC

Second Place =$25 GC

Third Place=$15 GC

You must be a first time shopper with me at ES to qualify though! And you have to put that in the “Customer Notes” section at the time of checkout to qualify. When you check out after you enter your payment option there will be a very large “Customer Notes” box at the bottom. Just put something like “First Time Customer” or something along those lines! This would be a perfect time to give my designs a try if you’ve been on the fence. It doesn’t even have to be a large purchase either. Dollar Day items DO qualify! Now if you have purchased with me in the past you can still win! For each new customer you refer to my shop,you will also be entered into the same drawing brackets! So you and a friend can both win! Just please remember to put “Jo Smo”(friends name) sent me and i’m a new customer in the “Customer Notes” if you don’t do this there will be no way for me to know or keep track.

Good Luck and spread the word!Any questions feel free to e-mail me at MandyMystiques@aol.com

~Mandy

----------------------------------------------------------

Remember if you go there as a new customer through me, put that you are new, and you were referred by me, DEJAVU, in the customer notes when you check out!! Then we'd both be in the drawing. Easy as that!!

Catching Up

It's been a few days since I've posted, so I wanted to catch up. I've still be scrapping. As it's the beginning of the month, all the challenge have started back up. Where are your favorite places to do challenges? I do certain ones at Digital Candy, Elemental Scraps and Enchanted Studio Scraps. I love their challenges and their challenge reward systems are good. If I run out of things to do, I may start up the challenges at Just Digital Layouts as well.

So, here's some of what I've done for the challenges. First up, I used Steel City Scraps HAPPY DAYS for a few.









Here's a preview of Happy Days, linked to store.







Next up, a did another speed scrap, which you know I LOVE doing! This one was at Digital Candy again, hosted by Trixie Scraps. Since I've used In Dreams (finally in store, click to go there!) so many times I decided to use Something Cutsie again. I like how it came out.







Finally, if you don't have Ellie Lash's Blog and CT Blog - Ellie's Angels - on your favorites, go add them! I've posted on the CT Blog a few times now, including today. Wednesdays are Wednesdays in Writing, all about journalling or any aspects of writing such as titles and word art. I did today's post about journalling with humor. I'm not the best with journalling or titles for that matter, but my layout yesterday was just tooooo funny, I had to journal it comically. Go on over there and leave me your funniest layouts for everyone to see. Here is my layout, using Ellie's Sugarville. This comical and downright silly layout will provide us laughter for years to come!



journalling reads - "You love these Snoopy toothbrushes so much. Today you kept 'planting' them into the couch, then you would pull them out just to put them back. You did this non stop for a while, then as soon as you got up from your nap you started doing it again. You always seem to have one of these toothbrushes in your hand, playing with it, banging it on things. Who needs toys when you have your toothbrush garden?"





That's it for today, thank you for visiting! By the way, I LOVE the comments that I get, please keep them coming. But just wanted to note that this blond ringlet haired beauty is my SON. :)
