Bears at Work

Life has been so crazy since Victor went back to school with the Cub Scouts and Adventure club back in full swing that I haven't had much time to blog or scrap. Here is the latest layout that I have done called Bears at Work. The Bear Den is working to build tool boxes that were auctioned off at our Blue and Gold Banquet for the Pack last March. I used a really great kit by Kristmess Called Diggin' Dirt available at Gotta Pixel.

Journaling: Part of being a Cub Scout is learning to use and make things. The Bears are building two tool boxes that will be auctioned off at the Blue and Gold Banquet for Pack 1776. All of the boys took turns hammering in the nails. They also had to identify certain tools. March 10, 2009. Fonts: Print Clearly, Nobility, Ariel Black.

All Aboard for Project Gallery Week 2

I have been having fun doing Project Gallery at Designs in Digital. This past week we had to scraplift the layout to the right of ours in the gallery from week 1. Well I had a wonderful layout to scraplift that was done by violethare. I had to get real creative to lift her layout, whimsical holdiays.

Guilty? Pleasures

I have spent the past 3 weeks participating in the Scrap Stars Challenge over at Gotta Pixel. They are looking for members for the store Creative Team and the best scrappers from this challenge will make the team. Each week we are given a different kit and must complete a challenge layout with it. For week 3 we had to scrap our guilty pleasures using as much of the kit Oh Snap by Colie's Corner. This is my week 3 layout.

Journaling: According to Wikipedia a guilty pleasure is something one considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it.[1] Often, the "guilt" involved is simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes, rather than actual moral guilt. Fashion, music,[2] and food (especially unhealthier foods high in sugar and/or fat) can be examples of guilty pleasures.[3]So do my love of books and my latest distraction on the internet, Facebook, count as guilty pleasures? Only if I feel guilty about indulging in them. So I guess the real question here is whether or not I feel guilty about them. The answer is probably mixed depending on what I should be doing when I am giving into the temptation. Now my addiction to chocolate, coffee and scraping the pictures of my life I will never feel guilty about giving into.Credits: Colie's Corner/Oh Snap at GP http://www.gottapixel.net/store/product.php?productid=24155&cat=0&page=1 .

Voting for round 4 of BOTCT

Well we made it through the final weeks challenge. We really need your support and votes to win. This weeks challenge was to take 2 layouts and combine them into a single scraplift. They had to be from members of our team and we had to make sure that we did not all lift the same layouts or lift the same members. For an added measure of fun we all scrapped pictures of kids and used the same primary kit. This has been a great four weeks, and I really hope that you have enjoyed seeing the creativeity of the Divas In Digital from Designs In Digital. To vote for us just follow this link.

Divas In Digital

I know it has been a while since I have posted, but things have been kind of crazy here latly. I have joined a second CT so I know scrap for the wonderful Kristmess Designs available at Gotta Pixel and for Designs In Digital. I am currently participating in a creative team contest over at Digi Scrap Addicts. The Battle of the Creative Teams is great and we have just finished the first round. I am scraping on the store team for Designs In Digital and am one of the Divias In Digital for the contest. The teams are made up 5 members from either a stores creative team or a designers creative team. You can only use items from either your store or designer depending on who you are playing for. Once a challenge is posted you must work as a team put together 5 layouts that are co-ordinated either by color, theme, or both. This makes for the really fun part since the digital scraping world is global. After the posting dead line for the layouts DSA opens the polls and you, yes you can vote for your favorite team in each catagory by clicking here.

The layouts for the Divas were a prodemonelty blue color scheme with a theme of dreaming or sleeping. Check out our layouts.

Thanks for the Ride

Well we have finally come to the end of the contest at Designs In Digital. The final portion of my My Hero, My Dad is up their store along with an element booster pack freebie. This has been an unreadable month that has truly tested me as a designer. Despite the long hard hours I have loved every minute of the contest. The element pack for My Hero, My Dad is loaded with all kinds of father/child goodies from dolls holding hands or signs to button shaped hearts and silhouettes taken from photos of my son and husband together. You can still get the paper pack that was released last week along with the element pack and the new element freebie. Just click the previews below.

There are 2 frames, 3 borders, 1 seal, 2 envelops, 1 journaling mat, 9 doll sets, 2 acrylic silhouettes, 2 chipboard silhouettes, 1 layered paper silhouette, 2 brads, 3 buttons, 3 glass pebbles, 2 paper clips, 1 tire, 1 ribbon, 2 fiber strings, 2 tags, 1 word art and a full alpha that includes upper and lower case letters, numbers 0-9 and special characters.

With all of the fun of making the larger pack I just couldn't stop once I was done and I created a free booster pack for the elements, that includes 1 set of brackets, photo corners, 1 frame, 1 bracket mat and a glitter spot.

This past school year my son was able to join Cub Scouts and sold paper last fall. My husband took him out over the course of several evenings walking in the neighborhood to get orders. When the popcorn came in we loaded up his wagon and set out to get all of the pop for our neighborhood delivered in one day. After a few houses Victor said that his feet were tired and hitched a ride in his wagon. This is a two page layout of the guys delivering the popcorn. It was created with my kit My Hero, My Dad available at Designs In Digital. It will only be available for a short period of time so hurry up and grab it. You can click the previews above to get it.

My Hero, My Dad

We all have heros in our life. For some they are teachers, fire fighters, police men or our military men and women. But for most of us the bigist our first hero was the first man in our lives.

The first portion of the kit has been released this week at Disigns In Digital. It features 32 papers to lay the perfect foundation for all of the pages celebrating the fathers in our lives.
