A Little Bit Newsworthy and Typo Alpha

I have a couple of older products from Sir Scrapalot Designs to share with you today.

The first one is called A Little Bit Newsworthy and I love all of the newspaper elements in it.


The other product is an alpha. Love the funky letters.

I used both of these to create this layout. My husband found a huge moth by our back door a few years ago and had to take a photo of it. Notice the penny in the picture for scale. The moth had to be about 3 inches across...I've never seen anything like it.

New releases at Inspiration Lane: December 5

As usual there are tons of great new products at Inspiration Lane this weekend. There are two new mega kits available free with purchase this week. The first one is Peppermint Twist available with a $5 purchase.


Here's a layout I did with the kit of my daughter on St. Nicholas's day a couple of years ago. She always puts out her stocking on the 5th and St. Nick fills it with Christmas goodies.


There is another mega kit called Mayhem and Mistletoe and if you spend $8 in the IL store then you get both megas for free. They are jam packed with so much wonderful stuff from the IL design team!

JennCK has also put out this fun set of templates. I love all the possibilities with these.


I paired it with this gorgeous kit also by JennCK designs.


Here's the layout I did about my DD with pictures and her stuffed unicorn Shine that she made at the Teddy Bear Factory.


I also used another template with this kit available with the December Club Click membership at Inspiration Lane.


The layout I did is from Easter when my DD was a wee thing...She always had a such a big grin for the camera and loved getting right up in front of the lens.

I also wanted to share an incredible promotion that shelleyrae designs has going on right now.


The image is linked to her store. She has such an amazing variety and all of it is just lovely. This is such an awesome deal so grab it while you can!

Winter Wishes

Wow my 100th post!

Last week Sir Scrapalot Designs released a bunch of new products in his store. I fell in love with Winter Wishes as soon as I saw it. It's just so cute!

I love the little snowmen especially but was really excited because even though it's a winter themed kit it can be used for so much more. I did this page about the silly faces my daughter loved to make when I took her photo.


I love it when I find a kit that's versatile like that. Not only did I get to make this layout of my adorable little girl but I already know which kit I'm going to use when she builds a snowman this year.

New Challenges at Inspiration Lane

It's time again for new challenges at Inspiration Lane and again I'm hosting two of them. The first one is my quote challenge. I knew I wanted to do something with a Christmas theme so I chose this kit by Sherri Tierney.

I decided to change it up a bit and do something different so if someone who didn't celebrate Christmas wanted to participate they would be able to. So instead of a quote the challenge is to use a holiday song title as a the scrapbook page title. I chose O Christmas Tree and here's my layout.

For my Scrapping the Everyday Challenge I got to thinking about some of the things I would like to accomplish in my life so I decided to make the challenge about scrapping your goal(s). I used this kit by Pixel Pisces Designs.

Here is my layout. There's probably no rhyme or reason to the goals I chose but they're all things I would like to do.

New Releases at Inspiration Lane: November 27

Here are the other layouts I promised you, even if I didn't get them posted over the weekend as promised.

The first one is from a kit by Pixel Pisces Designs.

We always loved going to the Ren Faire and this was certainly one of the highlights!


Next up is a kit by Laura Bozeman Designs, love the non traditional colors in this kit!


This layout is of my husband's and my first Christmas together.


I love themed kits and this one by Serene by RW really caught my eye.I thought it was perfect for this layout of my DD's favorite breakfast!


This next kit is by the Inspiration Lane Design Team and is free with a $5 purchase through Nov. 30th.

My DD has a small stuffed pig collection so I did a page about her pig family.


I'll be back tomorrow with two new challenges at Inspiration Lane. See ya then!

This blog has been a wee bit neglected lately. With being sick and then the holiday I haven't been posting near as much as I'd like. I thought I'd ease back into it with a layout I did with a new paper pack by Sir Scrapalot Designs.


Last year my DD wanted to make all the decorations for Christmas. This layout is of a few of the decorations that she made for our tree.



I have a few more layouts to post over the weekend so stay tuned.

Home for the Holidays

Sir Scrapalot Designs has a word art pack out new this week. I just love all the cute holiday sayings.
I'm so excited that we're going to be able to go to my parents home this year for Christmas (we weren't able to last year) so I did a page using the word art, Jolly Little Friends and Jolly Little Friends: Solids and Nearly Solids (also by Sir Scrapalot Designs) about what I love about being home for the holidays.

I'm so excited that not only are we going to be able to be there for Christmas but that most of my siblings will also be there. I can't wait to make new holiday memories this year!
