Sunday Drive

Who doesn't like a Sunday drive? When we were little, my sister and I would go on these long drives with our parents - just driving. Not sure they ever had a destination in mind or maybe I just don't remember. My dad had a truck with a canopy and he would put a really thick foam mattress in the back and we would hang out back there - this was before seat belts were mandatory of course! I don't remember much from those trips, just snippets really, but the memories are mostly happy, green-filled images - Alaska is very, very green in the summer.

This week, in my *job* as a creative team member for the Stuff to Scrap site, I got to scrap using a kit by Manda's Scrappin' Creations called Sunday Drive. Here is the preview or you can see it in the store; also check out her blog to see what else she has going on.

Here is the first layout I made with J1 in the mister's "fancy" car - can't believe the mister *allowed* J1 to even touch it, let alone sit in it!



The second one is for my bff D who likes baby toes more than just about anything else - maybe even chocolate!

Feel Good Friday?

Man, you're going to love this month's collab kit by the STS designers called Sunshine Playground - it's packed full of great textures and elements in fabulous colors for all your kid pages! This kit contains 101 papers, 168 embellishments and 2 full alphas. And the best thing about this kit and the quick-pages is that all proceeds are donated to The No Child Left Out Project. You can read more about it at http://thenochildleftoutproject.blogspot.com/. Really, anything we can do to help a child be able to play at a playground is worth doing and you get a great kit to boot!



So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to the store to buy both the kit and the quick pages . And hey, if you don't do digital scrapping but are moved anyway, you can donate directly on the blog.

Stuff to Scrap Speed Scrap on Friday!

Do you love a speed scrap? I do and Stuff to Scrap is having one tomorrow at 10am Pacific Time (you do the math if you are in a time zone not listed on the poster because it is just too late for me to try!) and you get a great set of papers from Scraps of Ellay for your participation prize. It matches her Cosmic Charlie kit which you can pick up here.

Hope to see you there!

October Road Brag Book Blog Train

Well, it's finally Friday (well, almost Friday anyway) and it is time for your brag book pages. If you just stumbled here, you should be starting at Growing Pains Scrapped blog - head there to get her pages and she has the links for her CT. Don't forget that The Scrappy Kat has pages and links on her blog and Flower Scraps' blog has her pages and links for her CT as well!

Here is what mine looks like:

and you can pick it up here

New Fall Collab Kit

Growing Pains-Scrapped has a new collab with The Scrappy Kat and Flower Scraps called October Road. This is a rich, colorful fall kit that will be great for all your pumpkin patch, Thanksgiving and fall pictures but would also work if you had a wedding, prom or homecoming with these colors. What about football pictures? Halloween? This kit would also work for those - especially if your school colors matched or if there were leaves and fall trees in your Trick or Treat pictures. Starting tomorrow you can get this collab for free - but just for a week then you can pick it up in the Stuff to Scrap store.

Here is Growing Pains-Scrapped's preview. Go check out her blog for her patterned paper and then head to the others for their parts!

Here is The Scrappy Kat 's preview:

And Flower Scraps' preview:

Here is my layout. It will be available as a brag book freebie page on Friday. I have so many pumpkin patch pictures but I wanted to show the versatility of the kit. This is my MIL and her sister at my rehearsal dinner. For those in the know, it wasn't actually a rehearsal dinner since we had already been married for two months. It was more of a let-the-families-get-to-know-each-other party, but let's face it, that is an absurdly long name!

Hey, check out this new kit by Growing Pains - Scrapped:


I love the deep colors in this kit and, while all the elements are great, I especially love the flowers and the hearts! You can pick up the kit here. Oh, and check out the layout I made - yes that is me! I listed the date as late 70's but after considering it for a bit, I have decided it is actually from the very early 80's - gotta go change that date.

Check out the upcoming sale at Stuff to Scrap. Head to the store to get the *stuff* you have been wishing for!
