Nominated

Yeah! I was nominated for Layout of the Month at STS (Stuff to Scrap).
My sister, Lenora, wanted to see the layout so I told her I'll post it on my blog. Now to get her to read it! Love ya, sis!

Watch for more Disney layouts to come. I have lots, and lots of pictures left to scrap.

Summers End kit

STS had a beautiful color palette for their color challenge this month and I couldn't resist working with it. Other designers made coordinated kits that you could pick up at STS here.

I didn't think I was going to get this done on time, but I'm glad I did. (And I think you would be too once you take a look at it.) Be sure to pick up the two downloads because the kit is pretty big.

Little Monsters for Halloween

How many little monsters do you have? I had some pictures left from last Halloween that still needed to be scrapped. And I know I'll be taking plenty of pictures in a couple of weeks.

Lovely Creations has the perfect kit for those Little Monsters. Actually, the name of the kit is Little Monsters. The colors are the usual Halloween colors but the elements include many little monsters including a vampire, mummy, reaper and ghost.

Here is a preview of the kit which is linked to Lovely Creations store at STS.

Aren't those little monsters to die for!!!

Here's a layout using the brighter colors.

This post wouldn't be complete unless I offered my fans a freebie. Here's two I made that coordinate with Little Monsters... a starter page and a corner cluster. Hope you enjoy them.

Wonderful Fall Freebie and much more

This is my favorite layout I made this week. This was a challenge of the week at SNP where we had to cut the word out of a piece of paper! Yes, it's from Disney! It is on the Boardwalk. Kit used is Summer Sailor by Digital Harmony Design Studio.

This layout I made following speed scrap instructions at STS. More about this layout later.

Have you been to Scraps N' Pieces new store yet? They are in their second week of their Grand Opening Sales. This week all digital kits are on sale.

Speaking of sales, Lovely Creations is retiring some of her products at STS. Grab them while you can! They will be gone after October 17th.

Here's a layout I made using 4th of July Celebration. And it has nothing to do with the 4th!

Lovely Creations has released her newest kit Wonderful Fall.

Here is a look at the kit! Aren't those owl eyes to die for! This kit has great fall colors, beautiful fall flowers and leaves. It also has two full alphas.

Well, remember that layout I said I'd tell you more about later... I made it into a QP for you! And if you haven't been to my blog in a while, you need to read down a couple of posts too, to see what you missed!

What's New

A lot is new, that's for sure.

Have you seen the new Scraps 'N Pieces store, forum (SNP). They are having their Grand Opening Sale all month long. Check out the flier for details. Flier linked to forum.

I joined there already! They have some fantastic new challenges and new designers I haven't seen at STS. Christin from Lovely Creations (you remember, I'm on her CT) has also joined at SNP.
And if you like sales, SNP is the place to be all month long. Each week they are putting different things on sale in their store; commercial use items, kits, QP's, and word art and templates. See flier (which is linked to store).

__________________________________________________________

Speaking of Lovely Creations... Christin made three parts to the October BAK which when put together make a full kit. I used pieces from all three pieces for the layout below.

And here is the layout.

School has started, did you scrap it yet? And More...

If you still need to scrap your first day of school pages, Lovely Creations has the perfect kit. And it is only $2 on Tuesday, after that it goes back to $4.99. Hurry, it's a one day sale at STS (Stuff to Scrap) tomorrow, Tuesday. Check back every Tuesday when select kits are put on sale for $2.

Here is the preview of Preschooler. It is linked to Christin's store at STS.

Chrisin of Lovely Creations also has a commercial use basic shapes bundle in the $2 bin. They are in grey scale so they can be recolored to fit any kit you are using. Hurry they are only on sale tomorrow. Then these essential frames go back up to $3.99.


For those that asked, and those that didn't, my vacation was a blast. Here is the first layout I did since I got back. Oh, and in case you are wondering, I don't scrap chronologically.

Kit used is Start Your Engines by Designs by Snowlady.

Than I did this one. The two pictures were taken at the same spot in Hollywood Studios but two years apart.

Kit used is Mister Moon by 3 Lil Monsters Designs.

Stay tuned for more layouts of my Disney Dream vacation.

Traci Ann you mentioned in a comment that you couldn't download my "Little Bit of Me" kit I released at the beginning of the month, I tried to email you but you didn't have an email address. Please let me know how to contact you so I could get you a working link. If you did try again and you got it, please let me know that as well.

The train has left the station and so did I

By the time you read this post, I'll be in Disney World. We would have completed our first ever cruise. With our first cruise being the most magical, we went on the Disney Dream. I'm sure you'll see lots and lots of layouts from this experience over the next few months and probably years because I know I still grab a picture or two from our trip in 2009 to scrap.

Anyway, the theme for this month's blog train is a Little Bit of Me Time. I LOVE the colors of this train and had this completed probably two weeks ago. I could have done more but trip plans and other obligations got in the way.

I don't have all the other links to post because not everyone is done with their contribution yet. I did grab the one's that were ready when I wrote this post. You can always follow another contributors post. Don't forget to leave love. Everyone likes hearing what you think.
