Snuggie

My son, Dylan, wanted this Snuggie SOOOO bad! Isn't he a cutie?! This layout was created using the "From the Desk of Mom" kit.

"Christmas Joy"

Is everyone geared up for the holidays?? I swear it comes earlier and earlier every year! To get you in the holiday mood I have created a fun Christmas kit for you!!! I had so much fun with this kit. Christmas is by far one of my favorite times of the year. Lots of bright colors and sparkly things. Your Christmas layouts will come together so easily with this kit for a super low price of $20!

During the past 6-7 months I have been creating kits for an online store (and offering them to you too!!), but recently there has been a change in owners. I was really torn on what to do. I LOVE creating these kits--almost just as much as I love scrapping with them! In the end I decided to try to go at it on my own. I'm a little nervous, but super excited about it. Depending on how things go I may do a kit every month or every other month. BUT, the good news is I have more kits to sell and can sell them at a cheaper price!

So, I am excited to announce my first official "SarahsSpot" kit!!

Challenge #43: Digital Scraplift

Within the last few years digital has taken the scrapbooking world into a new realm. While I haven't tried my hand at it (yet), there are some AMAZING digi artists out there. My personal favorite is an online friend of mine--Leah. Leah creates layouts in both digital form and paper. I love her funky, yet simplistic style. Leah also has a digital shop online--Funky Playground. Make sure to stop over and check it out!

This week the Nilsa from Scrap Whispers challenges you to scraplift your favorite digital scrapbooker. I decided to scraplift one of Leah's digital layouts.

I also want to take note that this is my 100th layout of the year!!!!! I still have a lot of work cut out for me if I plan to make that 150 goal, but I'm still very excited! Whoo hoo!!!!

Scrap Whispers Blog Hop: Week 4

This week for the Scrap Whispers Blog Hop the design team is showcasing the very talented “Sarah”!!

Sarah had some great layouts to lift! I choose this really sweet layout to scrap this birth announcement.

Here is Sarah's layout:


And here's my scraplift of the layout:

All of Sarah's layouts were all so cool! I had a really hard time choosing just one. In the end I just really loved the row of buttons on the left. The simplicity of this layout really drew me in.

For more scraplifts of this great designer check out Telah's Blog. If this is your first stop on the blog hop, make sure to go back to the Scrap Whispers blog to start from the beginning. When you reach the end of the "hop" there is a special surprise for you! This is "officially" our last week of the blog hop. I have had so much fun looking through all the different blogs. I have found so much inspiration from all of you. I'm working hard to get this going for another month. Let me know if you would like to be showcased on a future Scrap Whispers Scraplift Blog Hop.

Challenge #39: Mismatched Letters

This week on the Scrap Whispers challenge we have a FUN one for you!!!! I love layouts that use mismatched letters. They are so fun and whimsical! Our challenge for you this week is to create a layout with a mismatched title. Use a combination of at least three different fonts and/or colors. Mix and match however you please!

Here's my take on the challenge (using the August "Life is a Zoo" Moments to Remember kit):

I used 7 different stickers letters in this layout. Such a great way to use up those extra letters in your pack. I really need to do this more often!!!
