Baby on Board

Today I will be highlighting my last kit for Scraps by Andrea. It has been great working with Andrea. Hers was the first CT I joined and I have learned a lot, but it is time for me to trim down my CT duties and focus on other areas of my scrapbooking.

Today's kit is a cute kit for those expectant mothers out there. It is called "Baby on Board" and it comes in a boy or a girl version, and if you buy both you get a free neutral add on!

I used the kits to make a couple of layouts of my youngest when he was two weeks old. He turns two years old in a month. It is amazing how time flies!

 (This layout was featured on  Made Ya' Look Monday over at Faith Sisters!)

Here is your freebie QP. Enjoy!

Merry & Bright

It is finally starting to feel like Christmas around here! We have snow (about 5 inches and it's still coming down) and we put up all the decorations inside the house this weekend. The outside lights aren't going to happen this year - too cold! We should have done it back in November when I wanted to... There is a festive new kit over at Scraps by Andrea this week. It is called "Merry and Bright."

The kit is bright and fun. It has lots of elements that include buckles, curled ribbons and gift tags. It is only $2.50 this week so go grab it! Here are my layouts:

And I have a word art freebie for you today.

So Blessed

It seems like it has been forever since I highlighted a new kit from Scraps by Andrea! It has been a while, but she has been in the process of moving to Alaska so she has a great excuse! She is releasing a new kit today. It is called "So Blessed."

I think this kit is a bit off the beaten path when it comes to fall kits. It has a pastel color scheme, which could also be used for Spring pictures. Here are my layouts:

And, here is your freebie!

Boo 2 You

So, I know Halloween is over. But - I also know you have lots of fun Halloween pictures to scrap! There is a cute new kit over at Scraps by Andrea that you can use to do it! It is called "Boo 2 You."

It includes some great papers and fun elements. Be sure to visit Amber's page and pick up her freebie alpha that goes with the kit. Here are the pages I did with it:

And your freebie!

Give Thanks

I am having a hard time getting into the swing of Fall. The 40 degree drop in temperature yesterday helped a little, though I could have done without the walk to school in the cold rain. I am liking all the Halloween kits coming out right now! They are so cute. But Thanksgiving already? Andrea you are worse that Walmart! LOL The latest from Scraps by Andrea is the mini-kit "Give Thanks" that she released Monday with "Falling For You Again."

The kis has some darling pilgrim and indian folks, as well as a nice color scheme. I had a really hard time trying to scrap Thanksgiving pictures when it is only the first of October. Here is what I came up with:

Nothing fabulous, but I made it into a QP for you anyway. Here you go:

Falling For You Again

I am thinking that Autumn is Andrea's favorite season. She is releasing two fall mini-kits at Scraps by Andrea today. I will highlight one today and one on Thursday. Today's kit is "Falling For You Again."

It is a cute little kit with an owl theme. Owls are very popular right now in the digiscrap world. This kit could be used for a summer kit too though, I think. The colors are bright enough! Here is what I did with it:

And I made it into a freebie QP for you.

Oh yeah, I have a PSA for you too! I have decided to make my freebies available for a month after they are released. After that the links will be expired.

It's Fall Y'All

There is one thing I don't like about the change of seasons. I don't like the cold viruses that hang around the house. I inevitably get one from one of my boys. I am recovering from one right now, which is why I am late posting about the newest kit I got to work with from Scraps by Andrea. It is a big ol' fall kit called "It's Fall Y'all."

I really do like this kit. When I am feeling 100% again I will have to play with it some more. For now, here are a couple of simple layouts I did with it.

And, here is your freebie - another quickpage. Y'all like QPs, right?

Be sure to check out the CT blog. There are more freebies to be had - including two alphas!

Fall Festival

What colors come to mind when you think of Autumn? I think of rich, deep reds and oranges. Bright yellows, warm browns and all the lush rich colors in between. I was pleasantly suprised at the color scheme for the latest kit from Scraps by Andrea - "Fall Festival."

It's color scheme is bright and happy, with pink, blue, orange, brown and green. This is a kit that you could use for more than just fall layouts.

Here is your freebie QP. Be sure to visit the CT blog to see the other team LOs with this kit and pick up their QPs as well!

School Dayz

I love September. The weather is warm enough to not wear a jacket during the day, yet cool enough at night that I can snuggle under a quilt. And school - oh how I love sending two out of my three boys to school. I love that they love it, and I love the time it gives me to be with my youngest (even if he does nap during part of it). Andrea released a new school-themed kit called "School Dayz" on Labor Day. I was out of town, so I am just getting around to posting my layouts and quickpage. It was a great vacation though, so I don't feel too bad about it. The kit is only $2 this week so go grab it!

We already have school pictures back from my oldest. Their turn around time was super fast! The younger one should be getting his taken at the end of the month.

Be sure to head to Andrea's blog and download the freebie add-on to this kit. Have fun with those school photos! Here is your freebie quickpage.

Dino Star!

Monday - time for a new kit and a new freebie! Today Andrea at Scraps by Andrea is releasing this new kit - Dino Star!

 It is a fun kit for little kids who love dinosaurs. My boys sure do. Here are my layouts.

Simple Pleasures

As a child, I would never have dreamed that one of my favorite colors would be brown. Yes, brown. I have noticed that I tend to lean towards brown for the backgrounds of my layouts. It is just such a nice, grounding color. Hmm. Good thing Andrea over at Scraps by Andrea put lots of brown in her new kit "Simple Pleasures." There are other nice colors too, but I'm really digging the brown.

Here are my layouts for the kit. Be sure to check out the other CT members work on the SBA CT blog.

The above LO was featured in "Made You Look Monday" over on the Faith Sisters blog!

And, as always, here is your freebie!

Garden Party

"Garden Party," a sweet, summery kit is being released over at Scraps by Andrea today.

When kits like this are released, I find myself wishing I had a little girl to scrap girly pages for! Instead, I borrowed a photo of my niece from my sister. Isn't she adorable?
eta: Yay! This LO was chosen as LOTD over at Brownie Scraps!

And, I did a layout with my son, Jak Jak, just to show you that the kit isn't just for girls.

Be sure to visit the CT blog and check out the other layouts from the whole SBA creative team!

Here is your (girly!) freebie QP.
