New Releases at Inspiration Lane November 14

Another big release day at IL today. There are tons of great products and you can see them all here.

I created so many layouts that I'm going to be posting them all over the next few days.

First up is a mini kit by Laura Bozeman Designs. Love the green and silver together. So pretty!

In 2003 my husband and I hosted our first Christmas. It was lots of fun and I was so thankful for our family.


I can't believe Thanksgiving is only a couple of weeks away. This year has flown by. I just love this Thanksgiving kit by Jennifer Schmitt. This kit is huge. Lots of papers and embellishments to play with!


A couple of years ago I was sick over Thanksgiving so we had to cancel our Thanksgiving plans. This is what we did instead.


Next up is a new two page template by Jill DZines. Love the wavy paper in the background!

I took the right page and this kit (also by Jill DZines).

And scrapped this layout. Look at all those presents. What a fun day it was for her.


My last one for today uses this fun new kit by LemmonCity Productions.


We were lucky enough last spring to be rolling into town while my nephew was playing his t-ball game. We decided to go watch a few innings before heading to my parents house.


I'll have lots more of the next couple of days so stay tuned.

Spoonful of Sugar by Sir Scrapalot Designs

Since Aaron didn't have any new releases this week I decided to do a page with a kit that was released a couple of weeks ago that I didn't have in my stash yet.

Love the colors in this one and great glittery embellishments also!

In August we took a trip to South Bend and walked around the campus of the University of Notre Dame. It was really cool to see all the great architecture that I've been seeing on television all these years. This is my daughter taking a break after walking around most of the campus.

My first Christmas layouts of the season.

I'm so excited....designers are starting to release winter and Christmas kits galore. I can't wait to see what they've got in store for us over the next couple of months. I love it!

Here are the Christmas layouts I've done this past week.

Everything from Winter Chill by Laura Bozeman Designs.

Everything from yesterday's Inspiration Lane newsletter freebie, Vintage Girl by Joyful Heart Designs.

Everything from Happy Holidays Digital Kit and Happy Holiday Solids by Sarah Morgan Designs.

Christmas is by far my favorite holiday so I'm really excited to see these new products in the store. I'm hoping that over the next month and a half I will have plenty of Christmas layouts and hybrid projects to show y'all on the blog.

Happy DSD...lots of specials and new release day at Inspiration Lane

Check out this awesome special in honor of Digital Scrapbooking Day!

The grab bag looks awesome! If you want to see all the things you get in it click here.

Pixel Pisces Designs has two new kits out today. Yaay for a boy kit!


Of course I don't have a boy...but I found that the colors were great for this picture of DH and DD at the Science Center.


Tamara also has a very girlie kit this week!

I just love the papers in this kit! Here's my DD doing her math lesson last month.


Not only can you get the grab bag for $1 with a purchase but look what you can get free with purchase this weekend as well...these two very fun and adorable kits.


I actually managed to get a layout done with both of them.

First is from when we lived in Washington. DD had such a fun time at the local petting zoo.



This next one is from my DD's 3rd birthday. It's amazing...doesn't seem like 5 years have passed!


Stay tuned because tomorrow I'll have a few other IL new releases to share with you. Happy DSD shopping!

Sweater Weather

It's officially starting to get cold here in the midwest and I'm so excited to see all of the winter kits starting to be released. Sir Scrapalot Designs has this fun kit that is new today at Polka Dot Plum.


The colors were so perfect for these photos that I have of my daughter when she was about 9 months old and love love love the alphabets that come with the kit. Fun stuff! I also did something with this layout that I haven't done in forever...I pulled out a sketch by Becky Higgins. I forgot how much I love working with her sketches.

TotallyD is now Pixel Pisces

Still the same great designs and the same great lady. Just a different name. Here are a couple of products that she released on the 31st at Inspiration Lane.

First a paper pack (love the soft gorgeous colors here).


And here's a layout highlighting my daughter's favorite things when she was one.


And also this fun boy kit.


But of course you don't have to use it for a boy page.
