Totally D Designs: Fab Fabian

I'm on a new Creative Team! This time it's Totally D Designs. This is a layout I did today using Fab Fabian. This kit is great for little boy pages.

Knitting Scarves

Wow...a post that's not about digital scrapbooking. Wasn't sure I'd get one out there but wanted to share some scarves I've been working on. I'm still a pretty basic knitter so they aren't fancy.

This one is done with a sparkly eyelash yarn. The colors are so pretty and there is a gold metallic sheen to it. Just your everyday plain basic garter stitch.


This next one is a combination of knit and purl to create the textured pattern. I think it's called a box stitch.And the last one I thought was a really cool design. You start with a certain amount of stitches...do plain garter stitches for a few rows then double your stitches and knit a few rows of stockinette and then decrease so you end up with a cool ruffled effect. I think I may try stepping out of my comfort zone with scarves and make a bag using this stitch. I think it would be a really pretty pattern for a bag.

Jelly Roll Layout

Here is another layout I did this afternoon (wow two posts in one day).I've been wanting to scrap this photo for a while. My dd loves to bake and cook but I don't have a lot of photos of her doing it. I thought this kit was perfect for it!

Scrapping the Everyday Weekly Challenge

I started a new challenge at Inspiration Lane today called Scrapping the Everyday. This will be a weekly challenge that focuses on taking photographs of and scrapping our everyday lives. The first challenge was to take a portrait type photo of someone you love and then scrap about them however you see fit. Here's one about my daughter I did for the challenge.

Inspiration Lane Birthday Celebration

Inspiration Lane is turning one and they are planning a month long birthday celebration. There will be fun for everyone. Scrapping contests, chats, speed scraps, exchanges and more! Hopefully you all can come over and join in!


I'm also hosting a new weekly challenge starting tomorrow called Scrapping the Everyday. Come check it out!

My husband has been wanting the game Settlers of Catan for a good long while now and my brother and sister in law got it for him for his birthday this year. I scrapped a page for another challenge at Inspiration Lane. This one is a scraplift challenge, but unlike most scraplifts you combine ideas from two separate pages to create your layout, which I think is such a cool idea.

I won Rock with U by Christie Lemmon Designs

I won another kit from The Rubber Room at Digiscrap Addicts. This time I won Rock with U by Christie Lemmon Designs. I posted a layout a couple of days ago using the coordinating mini kit she created for an Inspiration Lane challenge. I was so excited to find out that I'd won. Here's a layout I did using the kit.

Telephone Tag at Scrap Orchard

I just participated in a game called telephone tag. It's sort of like gossip or telephone from my childhood where everyone sits around in a circle and whispers what they heard in the next persons ear to see how the message changes from the first to last person. The way telephone tag works is you receive a page from the person above you in the list, you scraplift their page, then send your page to the next person in line. It's fun to see how the basic design changes throughout. The big reveal was made today. Here is my layout....and you can click here to see the whole chain.

Project 365: June

I started project 365 in April and wanted to share how I'm displaying them. I set a page up in my scrapbook program at 4x6 and use a 4x4 photo which leaves a border for the date and journaling. Here are some from June. I hope to share a few of my favorites each month.

New Inspiration Lane Challenge

This is the layout I did for the new Inspiration Lane Mini Madness Challenge. Was a ton of fun and challenging to use all the elements in the kit. Everything is from Rock With U by Christie Lemmon Designs. You can find the information about the challenge here.

I won Summer Grunge by April Staker!

I got a private message at Digiscrap Addicts on Monday saying that I was selected from a random drawing to receive Summer Grunge! I loved this orange paper and figured since Home Depot was all about the orange that they would mesh well together. Thanks so much for the kit! I had so much fun working with it.

Sea Worthy: coming soon!

This blog is for my more creative endeavors. I love to scrapbook and rubber stamp (digi has taken over my scrapbooking in the last couple of months). I also cross stitch, knit, and am trying to learn more about crochet and beading so you may see any number of different craft projects here. I'm going to start by sharing a couple of layouts I did with the kit Sea Worthy by Sir Scrapalot Designs coming soon to Polka Dot Plum (can't wait)!
