Better late than never...right?

Ok, so I probably should have posted these a little while ago - my layouts using the June kit from Scrapmtacular . I already posted the "Summer Memories" mini I had made with the kit, and here are 3 layouts. And yep, I still have pp and embellies left over!! The kits are pretty big :) Love that I got to try out the company Simple Stories for the first time - it's so fun trying brand new things!

First up, "Life Is An Adventure", using some gorgeous butterflies from Scrapmatts:





Next is "Laugh, and the world laughs with you":




And last, "This Is The Life":

So excited to share something new with you all!!

I know...no posts for a week, and now 2 in one day! LOL

But I have something I can't wait to share - I have decided to start doing videos on You Tube and now I have my own channel! You guys should check it out - I made 2 videos about a Tim Holtz Configurations Printer's Tray that I altered for Father's Day. I will post pics of it later on in the week, but right now you can get a sneak peek and hear all about how I altered it on my videos. So check out my channel HERE....and I plan to do a lot more videos with tutorials, techniques, mini's, and of course haul videos!!

Big book in the house!!

So in the midst of running around getting the kids dressed this morning, the door bell rang...yep, the FedEx truck was here with my package! I got my LO back and I got my copy of the Memory Makers new book! I was trying to open the package so fast (since we were already running late) that I ended up cutting my finger LOL. So....just had to share:

Ready for another mini album?

I have another mini to share! I've been in mini album heaven :) This is a Punky Sprouts mini (Steam Punk'd) and we teamed up with Best Creation, so I got their Robot line to work with....so cute, and so many stickers and chipboard embellies to make it even more fun! I also used Tim Holtz metal gears - they were perfect for the mini and for the pp. Last Punky album I altered was for my mom's 60th birthday and this one is for my dad's 60th birthday....gotta be fair!

A Summery Mini Album

Getting ready for summer...made a little mini of some fun summer memories from the last 2 summers - also Dexter's first summers with us :) The paper is by Simple Stories, from Scraptacular's June kit, as are the stickers, etc. And the mini I made by cutting apart a sheet of 12x12 cardboard made by Punky Sprouts (called Punky Playground). So it's a nice-sized mini out of just one sheet.

Spring with a little Christmas spirit :)

***For MLS Blog Hop, see post below***

Yes, it's Spring....but does that mean we all have to scrap with pastel colors? I like to be a bit of a rebel (every now and then ;) so I thought I'd do a spring layout...using some Christmas paper! So here is "Magical Spring" using the "Noel" line by Harmonie. The green dangling embellishment, gold stickers, and the chipboard elements are all by Harmonie as well.

Mix It Up Blog Hop!!

Yes, time for another fun MLS blog hop!!! I love these, so of course I had to jump on board. The idea for this one is so fun, and it's something I love to do already - mixing collections!! All the MLS collections seem to go together so well even though they're all so different - just another great quality that makes them so versatile and easy to use :) I did a LO about my DH, called "My Honey" ...and I used Garden Party and City By The Bay, and mixed in a little Heartfelt - don't those three lines just mix well?





Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is Becky who has a super cute treat for you in store, so don't miss it! And you'll be starting at the MLS blog, where you can always return to if you get lost along the way....so have fun!!
