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.

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!
