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.

Happy Halloween!

I can't believe it's already the end of October. DH is busily putting the finishing touches on our daughter's costume then we have a party this afternoon and trick or treating this evening. Today is new release day at Inspiration Lane so lot's of fun new goodies there.

I wanted to share a layout I did this past week of last Halloween. I used this fun Halloween kit.

Here's a layout with my daughter dressed up as a cat. I love the colors in the kit and that bat patterned paper is too cool!


Hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween!

New releases at Inspiration Lane: Saturday Oct. 24

And the best part...they're all 20% off for today. To see all the new items click here.

Here are few layouts I did with a some of the new items.

I love templates so I was very excited to see that Laura Bozeman Designs has a new template set out this week.


I combined one of the templates with a couple of her paper packs (Rainbow Solids Papers and Sparkly Hearts Papers) and her Sparkly Hearts Freebie and created this layout. My DD thinks these papers are "awesome" and can't wait to do her own page with them.


Next is a kit from Kristi W designs. I love the soft colors and of course the penguins and polar bears. I think it would be an awesome kit for some hybrid winter projects.


This layout is from my dd's first time on ice skates (actually these were the blades that you just buckle to their shoes). She had a blast out there!


Next is a new kit by TotallyD Designs. I think the colors are so fantastic. Love those greens especially.


This layout was done with one my absolute favorite photos of my daughter. My mom took it and I just love the expression on her face.


Hopefully I won't be so long until the next post. This past week has been a little chaotic. Hope everyone is well and I'll have more layouts to share soon.

Great new kits at IL + a new designer

Here are a few more new releases from Inspiration Lane. To see all the new release click here.

First let me show you the State Fair kit made by the IL Design Team. Lots of items perfect for you fair photos! The best thing...it's free through today with a $5 purchase from IL (will automatically be added to cart when you reach $5).

Here's a layout I did with the kit. The kit was perfect for capturing my daughter's first Ferris Wheel ride.


Jen Yurko has released another food related kit. This time another favorite of mine: strawberries.

Of course strawberries are even better with chocolate. Here's a layout using the new kit.


There is also a new designer at Inspiration Lane this week. JennCK Designs has released quite a few kits her first week here. To visit her store click here. Many of you may already know Jenn (catgoddess) since she's a member of the Inspiration Lane Creative Team. I'm so excited to be able to work with her designs. Here's one that I picked to work with this week.


I fell in love with the colors of the kit. Here's a layout of my daughter I did using the kit.

New from TotallyD Designs

Tamara has released a couple of new items this week at Inspiration Lane. First off is the kit Tendency.

I was amazed at how well the colors in the kit matched our new pet.


Also new today is Bubbling the Bundle. This is a huge kit!


Items are also available individually. Just visit Tamara's store to see all the individual pieces. Here's a page I did with one of the premade cluster frames. Loving the alphas also!

Scrapping the Everyday- New challenge posted today.

It's time for a new Scrapping the Everyday challenge at Inspiration Lane. This time it's all about your favorite drink. Anyone who knows me won't have any doubt what my page is about, but first I want to show you the products I used for my page.

The first one is Cardboard Jungle by shelleyrae designs. I love the bold colors paired with the cardboard.

I think this next product is just super cool. I love that you can use it to make a custom alpha for any kit.

And here is my layout.



Tomorrow is new release day at IL so come back then and I'll have some pages to share with you using some of the new release kits. See ya then!
