I'm on a creative roll!

Well I must say I am feeling pretty good. I created another LO tonight! I am really getting pages done. I may actually meet my scrapbooking goal for the month even with being on vacation this next week. We'll see what happens the rest of this week, but at this point I have now created 21 pages this month. Well, nevermind, maybe I won't make it to my goal (which is 50 pages), but at least I got some done! lol Way more than I did last month with trying to do paper LOs.

So anyway, I found this kit tonight called Super Heros and LOVED it and knew how I was going to use it because JUST THIS WEEK I took pictures of Tye acting like a super hero. He asked Kevin to tie his blanket around his neck. It was so cute. Don't mind that he is hanging out in his underoos! lol I hadn't gotten him dressed yet that morning! lol Oh well. Sometimes you just gotta take the pictures when they happen even if they aren't always the most appropriate! lol Anyway, the kit is by AmieBear.

What I got done at the crop today 111408

1. 2 and 3.

1. It took me ALLLLLLLL day to complete this! ARGH! lol I think it turned out okay. I just could not get it to come together very well. Not sure why. All the pieces are great, the pics are pretty good, but I guess my creative mojo wasn't there! lol Anyway, this is the August Collab 08 kit from Cen's CT team. The paper and a good majority of the elements are from Kim's Scrappin' at http://kimscrapping.blogspot.com/. The green frame on the right is from June herself, http://censloft.blogspot.com/. The sunshine is from AB Designs, I do not have a link for her as I downloaded her part directly from June's blog. Finally the word art in the title is from LindaJD at http://lindajd.blogspot.com/. Thank you ladies for a wonderful kit! (Even though my blog about the page is less than stellar, the kits definitely are!) I am loving all these freebies the talented designers are sharing so that I can feed my digital obsession! Thank you again!

2 and 3. I was also able to complete this the last couple of hours of the crop. I didn't know what to do at first, but then I finally figured it out. And it kindof just came together. I was able to complete 4 pages (2 2 page LOs). This is from a kit called All Aboard by Crazy Diamon Designs. She can be found here: http://designsbycrazydiamond.wordpress.com/. I must admit this is the only kit I have ever paid for. I HAD to have it for my little engineer! lol

What I did last night and tonight 11/11-11/12

I seriously have been behind on scrapbooking so I felt I really needed to get at least 1-2 pages done a night this week. Yesterday I completed 1 page in both Kevin and I's weight loss albums. However, those are too personal and I won't share them. But then last night I did complete a 2 page LO from our trip to the aquarium. They have an outdoor section called "Explore-A-Shore" which during the summer is a water park area. But during the winter (when we went) the kids could just play on the toys. They have one part that has a surfboard. The kids looked like little surfers riding the wave!

The kit is by Vicki and is called "Deep Blue". You can find her stuff here: http://vicki20.blogspot.com/. Thanks Vicki! I love your work and the colors for this one worked perfectly with the wave in the picture!

The other two pages, even though they will go side by side in the album, don't actually go together. They were also from our aquarium trip, but aren't of the same thing. But the paper and elements worked so well with both pages and since they are going to be side by side I decided to match things a little bit.

The stuff for these pages are from a giant collab put on by ADSD for up and coming designers. The collab was called Zoo Spirit. I mostly used stuff from Deb aka the Scrappin' Cop. You can find her site here: http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/. The bottle caps on the first page and the ric rac ribbons on the second page are from Kim's Scrappin' kit. Her website can be found here: http://kimscrapping.blogspot.com/. The borders on the first page are from abyscraps by Sheila. Who can be found here: http://abyscraps.wordpress.com/. And finally the tag on page 2 came from Mel's part of the collab, which can be found here: http://sweetasmel.blogspot.com/. Thank you ladies for such a fun kit! It turned out terrific!

S2L Challenge 10/31-11/7

This week's challenge was to do pets or animals. Or to use buttons on your page. I decided to try my hand at using both in my LO. I think it worked out pretty good. Pretty much everything is from a kit called "Under the Sea" by Angela at http://scrappinmommydesigns.blogspot.com/. The buttons are from Deb at http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ Thanks ladies for letting people use your great scrapbooking items!

Another award--I can't believe it!!

Are you sure you are picking me???? lol I can't believe it, another talented Designer has picked me to recieve this award! Thank you, June! I certainly do not deserve this awards. I only started doing digital in April. And I didn't really start doing it seriously until the end of June. But boy do I enjoy it and I am almost to the point where I am considering going ONLY digital. BUT I must use up all of my STUFF before I move on entirely. lol

Please check out June's blog for her wonderful kits. She is currently doing nursery rhyme kits. They are great!! I can't wait to use them! Here is the link to her blog: http://censloft.blogspot.com/ Again, thank you June! I really am humbled by your sweet gesture and comments!

As for what I am supposed to do, please check below as I just did it recently. My loves have not changed! hehehe :-)

S2L Challenge 10/25-10/31

This week's challenge of course was to do a Halloween LO. I wanted to do this year's pictures. So I didn't actually complete it until today. It is digital again! :-) Gotta love it! I used the "Got Sugar Blog Train" kit. It was from several different designers, so I apologize for not giving credit to each individual person as I used a little bit from each kit. Thank you all for a great blog train!

What I completed at the crop on Friday 10/31/08

Of course, I missed a couple hours of cropping at my usual Friday all day online crop/chat due to Halloween. But that is okay as I completed 3 pages anyway!

Here is the first 2 page LO. It is of Jasmine taking a bath the week she left us. These are two separate kits that I put together. Part is from Kimmie's Keepsakes. Her blog can be found here: http://kimmyskeepsakes.blogspot.com/ . The other part of the page is from a kit called Bathtime add on for DigiTreats Jump Kit. It is by Jennifer Apodaca. I apologize as I can't remember where I actually found it at. I am guessing on her blog but I don't have the address.

The third page I created was a quickpage (I apologize because it was just a png quick page there is no information for me to give credit to. So if this is your quickpage creation, THANK YOU! And I am sorry. Leave a comment and I will update this information--I stumbled upon who it was. It is a lady named Maryse. Thank you Maryse! It is darling!). I had wanted to do it awhile ago, but I didn't have just the right picture. I had one that I tried to use, but it didn't work. So I asked my sister to send me one that was more a full body sleeping pic of my nephew Drew. The pic was PERFECT!! It fit the page great and the colors of his outfit matched perfectly (and I didn't even tell her the colors or anything, I only asked for a full body sleeping pic)! I think it turned out great. I hope she likes it as much as I do!
