Layouts for DeDe

I must apologize to my Designers this month for being late in posting these on my blog. But with all going on in my life right now I know they understand. So without further delay, I want to share a couple of layouts I've done with two of Dede's newest kits - VillianZ and Heart EqualZ Home. Both are available at Digitals, 3Scrapateers, and iScrapbook as well as at DeDe's blog.

Both are awesome kits. VillianZ continues with DeDe's Heros of the HeartZ collection and features several of Disney's greatest villians, we all love the hate. These work perfectly with those layouts of our own little villians - who we love so much - when they are on their BEST behavior (NOT). Heart EqualZ Home is a beautiful kit which focuses on family and home. The rich, warm colors in the kit wrap around you with feelings of love, heart, and home. These are must have kits so hurry over and grab them.

CT Layouts for Amanda

Amanda has a great new kit in her store for those Fall, harvest, Thankgiving pics. It's called Harvest of Blessings and is AWESOME. I love the little owl, mushrooms, apple tree,...I could go on and on about this kit. I made a couple of layouts with it I wanted to share with you guys. And remember you can get this great kit by following the link to Digital's store.

So Much has Happened

since my last post. My mom lost her battle with cancer and my life has been running on high speed since then as I am the one responsible for her estate. This entailed much more than I had previously thought but I'm glad my parents deemed me responsible enough for this task. This is the reason for my absence from my blog. Then my uncle (my mom's brother) passed away from cancer last week. Add to that the holidays and the continuing saga of raising a child with a cleft and my life is more than full. My GS now has been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and will have to sleep with a C-Pap once the issues with the insurance companies are worked out. He doesn't even sleep the night in one bed so I don't see how we are going to do this, but where there is a will there is a way and the Lord will help us find a way.

I've got one freebie project mostly done except for the preview and a second one that I'm working on off and on. I'm also loving my job as Amanda Thorderson and DeDe Smith's CT as well as Digitals store CT.

At Digitals this month I had the luck of working with an awesome designer, Shawn Walters. I chose two of her kits to work with this month - Misty Autumn Grandeur and Cameron's Classic Charm - The Chocolate Collection. Both are awesome kits. Below you will find some of the layouts I made using them. Hope you guys like them and keep coming back to see more.

Just realized I hadn't shared these layouts with you guys. Both are made with DeDe Smith's newest kits.

The first is from her Not So Scarey kit. It was so much fun to work with. I love the scare"mice" and the funny pumkins. I blended two of the background papers to get the effect I wanted for the background of the LO. I just love the tree with the Mickey ear leaves too. You can find this kit at Digitals, iScrapbook, and 3Scrapateers.

The second LO is an addition to her Ahoy There MateyZ kits and is a DollZ. I had a blast working with these and can see a lot of other ideas coming from it - including a hybrid paper dolls - just got to find a little girl to give them too. Hope you like these LOs.

Woo - Hoo, I'm Amanda Thorderson's CT at Digitals

I'm so excited. I'm Amanda's CT this month at Digitals. And her new kit is awesome to say the least. I love it, but then I love all Amanda's kits. You've got to go to her store and check them out. The kit I used for this layout is called Remembering You and is brand spanking new in her store. It's romantic, vintage, and perfectly perfect in every way. You're gonna love it too. Hope you love the layout I made using this kit too. Can't wait to upload more with this great kit.

Ahoy There MateyZ

DeDe Smith has a new kit out. It's called Ahoy There MateyZ and if you haven't already guessed is a pirate themed kit. There are several items to go with it - A Brag Book, a set of Quick Pages, an Add-on Kit, some Stacked papers to get your layout off to a great start, a set of DollZ, you've got to see them. And I know once you've seen them you will be hooked. You can find the kit at Digitals, 3 Scrapateers, iScrapbook (coming soon). Here's one of the LO's I've done with this great kit. It's called Sweetest Treasure.

September CT Shares for Digitals and updates on my life

OMG Guys, September came and went and I've been so busy I can't see straight. Mom's getting weaker and weaker and I don't know how much longer I will have her with me but I'm trying to cherish everyday I have while praying God will do what is best in handling her pain. While I know I will be rocked to the my very core when it comes her time to go, I think I will be able to handle it as it breaks my heart to see her suffer so. She's fought a long and hard battle and has nothing but more pain and physical suffering left for her on this earth but oh the wonders that await her on the other side. For those of you out there who pray, please keep our family in thoughts and prayers as we need all the love, support, and strenght to make it through the days ahead of us.

As for my Scrap life. I had a LO published in Digitals October Magazine / Newletter. Toot, Toot. It was one of my CT LOs for DeDe Smith and is entitled Family Is.... I used DeDe's Believe in the Magic Kit.

My September Digitals CT assignment was Kathryn Estry. She has a ton of awesome kits and I love everything she does. I know you will too. I chose to use her Cookout Ant-ics Kit and her Classic Romance - in Pink kit as I was scrapping a picnic and a wedding. Both kits are awesome. Cookout Ant-ics is so fun and playful and filled with these precious little ants who are into everything. Classic Romance is the perfect wedding, engagement, couples, love - kit. It comes in several different colors so I'm sure you can find one to match your wedding needs.

These pictures were made during our Labor Day Pinic at a state park nearby. My GS and DD had a blast as you can tell by the pictures.

These pictures were made at a dear friends wedding. I thought the kit was perfect for them.
