Pretty Pixels Grand Opening Sale!

Good Morning!

I told you last night to stay tuned and I didn't make you wait long did I?



The sale runs from October 18 - 24 so make sure you get in on it! I showed you yesterday some of the beautiful layouts I made with Cutie Patootie and this weekend you'll see another kit called Copacetic. Everything in her store is 40% off and I highly recommend the bundles so you can get her beautiful alphas and templates aswell. She also sells 4 packs of templates on their own.

My New Designer Pretty Pixels

Hello Everyone!

I have a brand new designer I CT for this week called Pretty Pixels. Her stores can be found at My Life and Scrap now and Enchanted Studios Scraps starting October 23rd. I'm sure you'll agree that her designs are beautiful and have so many possible uses. The first kit of hers I had the chance to use is called Cutie Patootie. I don't have a good preview of the entire but these are the papers.



I made this layout of my sister in law with my daughter when she first came home from the hospital, the colours suited the picture perfectly.



This layout uses one of the Templates that came with the bundle pack available on MLAS (the alpha is also only available in the bundle.




I have used this kit in a few challenges already so you are sure to see more of it. Stay tuned tomorrow when I announce a big sale!

Rainbow of Hope Charity Kit

Many of us have been touched by cancer, in some form, in one way or another. That is why several Stuff To Scrap designers decided to collaborate to design the kit Rainbow of Hope. All proceeds from the sale of this kit and it's coordinating Quick Page Set will be donated to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

Great effort was made not to exclude any forms of cancer in the making of this kit. The kit includes 60 papers, 76 elements and an alpha. There are awareness ribbons in each of the colors represented. The colors chosen for this kit represent the following forms of cancer.

Orange: leukemia
Yellow: Liver cancer, bladder cancer, osteosarcoma
Green: kidney cancer
Blue: colon cancer
Purple: pancreatic cancer, cancer in general
White bone cancer
Black: melanoma
Brown: colorectal cancer
Grey: brain cancer
Lime green: lymphoma
Teal: ovarian, cervical and uterine cancers
Burgundy: multiple myeloma
Periwinkle: stomach cancer
Pink: breast cancer
Light blue: prostate cancer
Pearl: lung cancer

October 13 Speed Scrap

Hey Everyone!

It's a holiday here in Canada and I've been spending the day lazing around with my hubby and our sick little girl. She had us up all night with a fever and I'm hoping we don't have a repeat performance tonight.

I should have a bunch of layouts later this week I've been working with 4 kits from 2 designers (1 is a collab that I made half of and I will be posting that next weekend).

In the meantime you should check out this speed scrap going on tomorrow at stuff to scrap.





I will be there for sure, I try to never miss a speed scrap. They are great opportunities to play outside your box. Plus you meet a lot of great people chatting in between instructions. If you are new to Stuff to Scrap you should set up your account and your gallery earlier in the day as both need to be approved before yuo can use them. You don't get points for speed scrapping but you do get Participation Prizes from the hosting Designer and it's a great way to build up your stash. The participation prize for this speed scrap is this great alpha by flower scraps.



Hope to see you there!

Destiny

Good Evening Everyone and if you are in Canada I hope you are having a great Thanksgiving!

This week I had the pleasure to work with a beautiful kit by Manda's Scrappin' Creations called Destiny. I just love the colours: pink, lime, teal, yellow and brown are perfect for little girl layouts!



When I was going trough my pictures deciding what to scrap with this kit I saw that the yellow and brown perfectly matched the Easter Pictures we took. Deirdre was just 7 months old, too little for candy & eggs so she got bath toys. As you can see, she loved them.



I have a lot of pictures that look like this, only different clothing. Deirdre lately has become obsessed with the camera and crawls straight for me if she sees me taking it out. I love the alpha with this kit, because it's clear you really could use it on ANYTHING.



As usual I made a Quickpage aswell, taking advantage of a lot of the fabulous elements.

Sunday Drive

Good Morning Everyone!

I'm still healing slowly but surely from my bronchitis, I'm hoping I'll get back to a more frequent posting schedual soon. It's October 1st and that's very exciting for a lot of reasons. The first of the month is always the start of the monthly Blog Train at Stuff to Scrap. I'm not taking part this month (but I am next month) but the colour pallette is beautiful and you can get started on the train here. Also the beginning of the month is when most of the new challenges start at Stuff to Scrap (and I REALLY love the challenges). This month I'm even hosting one, the "More Than Words" Word Art Challenge. If you haven't already you should definitely check it out here.

Now for the main purpose of my blog post today, Sunday Drive, the beautiful new kit from Manda's Scrappin' Creations.



I know she geared this kit towards little boys, but the colour pallette definitely works for girls too, and as my daughter has proven, little girls like cars too.



This is my daughter at her friends birthday party. Daddy drove her around in that car all day because Deirdre didn't want out of it.



Deirdre is obsessed with her cell phone (my old dead cell phone). Best kid toy ever.



I made this quick page geared towards little boys.
