More scrapbooking fun!

I haven't posted in a week! I got some fun new lo's done. There was a CT swap at Digital Candy and us Digi Twin girls got to work with some of Trish H. Designs' fabulous products. These first 2 lo's are from her Sweet Nothing kit. The font on both is Anmari.



These next 2 lo's are using Garden Critters by CandleWorks Scraps. The font on both is Jester.




This lo was done for the What's in a Number Challenge at Digital Candy. Its basically a recipe you have to follow to create a lo. This one was tough and, as you can see, I created a very busy lo! Probably my busiest! I love it though! The papers are from Geeks are Hot by Heather Roselli, Lauren Grier, and Scrapkitchen. Everything else is from Climbing Trees by Chaos Lounge. I also used the curled action and tear action from Atomic Cupcake. The fonts are Jellyka Evan & Estra and Jokerman


And finally, this is a lo of a photo of me and Shawn on one of our very few date nights. We went out to dinner and then out to see the Phantom of the Opera last weekend. It was a wonderful time! I used Romantic Sunset by Steel City Scraps. The font is Anmari. I am either addicted to that font or I'm too lazy to switch. Do you know how many 1000's of free fonts there out there? I really need to diversify!!

More lo's and exciting CT news!! :)

First in Benjamin news, he has his 1st molar!! After many cranky days and nights his first molar has popped through. We got about 2 days of relief and now molar #2 is making for long nights again. Poor kid! I wish I could take this pain away from him.

Baby boy #2 is cooking nicely and I am 21 weeks along now! I feel him move more and more everyday. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. He'll be here before we know it!

I've been busy playing over at Digital Candy all weekend again. I fear I may be addicted to their challenges! This 1st lo was done for the Font Challenge. I had to use the font "Speedline" somewhere in the lo. This lo also comes with good news. I used the Beautiful Disaster Mini Freebie from Steel City Scraps. The good news is that I am now a City Girl! So expect to see more lo's using her fabulous designs. Check out her blog here, where there are some beautiful freebies available, and her shop at Digital Candy.


These next 2 lo's I used the Thankful Blessings Collab Kit by Team Sassy at Scrap It Sassy. This kit is huge!! The first lo is for the November desktop challenge. The calendar template is by Danielle Corbitt.

This next lo is for the elements challenge where we had to use a stroke on the photos and photo corners.


And lastly, this lo is for the Ad challenge where our lo is inspired by a print ad. I used Creepy Crawlie by April the Scrapaholic.

I rocked Digital Candy's DSD Scrapathon!

Photobucket

For DSD, Digital Candy held a scrapathon. 8 lo's in 3 days with different instructions for all of them. Here are my lo's for the scrapathon.

LO #1 is "Black, White, and Sparkly" which meant 2 B&W photos with some sort of glitter or foil element. I used Diamond Diva Alpha, A Little of This, A Little Border, and Back to Basics Paper Pack, all by The Digi Twins and available at Digital Candy.



LO #2 was a scraplift. I scraplifed Steel City Scraps Smile. I used Daddy's Closet by Designs by Jannylynn Brokken.

LO #3 was to use any photo shape other than a square. I used the K-Joi Welcome Kit from by God's design available at K-Joi and The Write Stuff by Darcy Baldwin and Misty Cato. The font is How Cute Am I by Darcy Baldwin.

LO #4 was to use a one word title and some sort of crumpled/wrinkled element. I used A Mother's Love Sunshine Studio Scraps Collab and Crump'd freebie from Designs by Kristi.

LO #5 was another scraplift. I scraplifted Christie Lemmon Designs Yum. I used Coley by Kari Hentzelt Designs, Ariane by Lauraskathi, and The Write Stuff by Darcy Baldwin and Misty Cato. The font is How Cute Am I by Darcy Baldwin.

LO #6 was a lo based on a song. I choose Ordinary Miracle by Sarah McLachlin. I used Ye Olde Bookshop by Mari Koeglenberg. The font is DSP Pat.

LO #7 was to scrap an imperfect picture that you wouldn't normally scrap. This photo was one of Benjamin trying to get the camera while I was taking pictures. I have a lot of these, LOL! I used Monster Madness by Designs by Nikki Scott.

And finally, LO #8 was a template by Christie Lemmon Designs. I used Twitchery Stitchery Page Kit and Alpha by The Digi Twins, both available at Digital Candy, and the font is How Cute Am I by Darcy Baldwin.

These next 2 lo's were not part of the scrapathon. I used Little Prince by Body Works Studio available at Scrap It Sassy.

Bunch of new lo's

I'm so happy I got my scrapping mojo back. I guess it comes and goes in cycles. It probably depends how tired I am too I guess.

This first lo is my 1st attempt at a calendar. I am on The Digi Twins CT and they came out with these cool 2009 calendars. I've been trying to figure out what to do with them, so here is my 1st ever calendar. I used Shabby Calendars, Diamond Diva Alpha, Glitter Frames, and A Little of This all by The Digi Twins. I also used a freebie called Ol Time Family Celebration by Jenny Cereal.

This is some old pics of me and my friend Christine before we were old married ladies. We had tons of fun together. She lives in North Florida with her hubby now and I miss her terribly! I did this lo for the template challenge at Digital Candy. The template is by Brenda Smith. The kit is Kaleidoscope by Ivorys Designz.



I also used Kaleidoscope by Ivorys Designz for this next lo of my baby belly at 17 weeks.


These next 2 lo's were done for the recipe challenge at Digital Candy. The recipe is from the the South Beach Diet cookbook. Its a very yummy recipe. Shawn and I attempted the South Beach Diet and it lasted a couple weeks. We are definitely going to need a weight loss strategy after I have this baby! I used Recipe for Fun, Shabby Diva Alpha version 4, Random Paper Pack and Shabby Grunged Paper Pack all by The Digi Twins.



This lo is for the Candy Jar challenge at Digital Candy. It was done with Candy Jar #25 by Trish H Designs and Tiny Tags Action by Tracy King.

And finally, a lo of my new little boy showing us his stuff! Neither one of my boys was very shy showing what they have during ultrasounds! I used Everyone's a Star by Beckmoore Designs.


Thanks for stopping by!!
