Focus

Cara is releasing a brand new collab today over at Sweet Tomato Designs. It is called "Focus" and she collaborated with Page Frocks and Heather Hess Designs to bring you this masterpiece!

I love all of the photography elements in the kits. It is a great kit for all of those photos you take "just because." Heather is a new designer and I absolutely LOVE the blue and gray alpha she included in her portion of the kit!

Here is my freebie for you, a new QP. Enjoy!

Celebrate!

Sweet Tomato Designs is celebrating it's Blog-o-versary. And to celebrate Cara designed a cute party kit called "Celebrate."

Here is the page I did with it. I got a great candle-blowing action shot of my four-year old on his birthday earlier this month.

And your freebie - another QP. Are you guys tired of QPs? Would you like something different?

You Sham(Rock) my World

Ready for St. Patrick's Day yet? I remember last year at this time I was just getting into this whole digi-scrapping thing and was hunting for cute kits to fit the holiday. I wasn't too successful. Luckily, this year, Cara at Sweet Tomato Designs has me covered. She just completed a collab with Geek Chic Scraps for St. Patrick's Day and it is called "You Sham(Rock) my World".

Once again, the color scheme is yummy. It isn't your typical St. Patty's Day bright green. It is more subdued, but still fantastic for those layouts. It would also be great for other layouts too. Here is a 2-pager I did.

And, a freebie QP for you!

The Princess

A few weeks ago I posted about the new kit over at Sweet Tomato Design, "The Prince". Some of you may have felt left out if you have girls - never fear! The companion kit "The Princess" has now been released.

The new kit is darling. It makes me want a baby girl! Here is the LO I did (it features my niece).

Here is your freebie QP.

The Prince

Cara at Sweet Tomato Designs is releasing a darling new kit Wednesday. It is called "The Prince."

 It was perfect for me, seeing as how I have three little princes running around. I dug up some newborn pictures of my youngest for my layout:

And I made it into a quickpage for you. Enjoy!

Time Flies

Cara over at Sweet Tomato Designs is doing a guest designer spot this week at DigiDesignResort. She is giving you a coupon code to use on her DDR store, including her newest kit!

The new kit is called "Time Flies." It would be perfect for those of you doing Project 365 this year. I especially like the stitched heart border.

I used the kit to do a double page layout about a nephew who is leaving to serve a mission for our church. I can't believe he is old enough to do that! He was, like, 10 when my husband and I got married. Wow. So, here is my spread.

And here is your freebie.

I Believe

Our boys visited with Santa this past weekend. The two oldest are totally into the whole Santa idea, the youngest... not so much! He pretty much freaked out when we put him on Santa's lap. They all do the first time, right?

I used the newest kit from Sweet Tomato Designs to scrap the photo of Evan on Santa's lap. It is called "I Believe."

I love the blue and red colors in this kit. It is such a nice switch from the traditional red and green usually associated with Christmas. Here is Evan, struggling to get away from Santa:

And a quickpage for your photos with Santa!

Grateful

Cara released a new kit today over at Sweet Tomato Designs. It is called "Grateful."

I ma in love with the color scheme. I really like that about Cara's kits - great colors! I especially love the houndstooth and herringbone patterned papers and elements in this kit. Here is my layout, highlighting one of my greatest blessings: being Mama to three beautiful boys.

And, a freebie QP for you to highlight your blessings.

Today

Wow! It's been over a week since I posted. That wasn't planned, but my CTs have been a little slow lately and I apologize. I should have three freebies for you this week to make up for it.

I talked about Project 365 in my last post and the kit that is being released over at Sweet Tomato Designs today work great for scrapping those everyday photos. It is aptly called "Today."

I adore the color palette Cara used for this kit. Cara is offering a special over at Pretty Scrappy with this kit. Purchase it for $2, create a layout using it and post it to the special Featured Designer gallery here, and then go to the Featured Designer forum and post your gallery link and she will send you the 2nd half of the "Today" kit for FREE!

And I made it into a QP for you too! Enjoy!

Spooks

Halloween is less than three weeks away. I am so excited! My boys' costumes are done, now all I have to do is buy candy and pray for good weather. Cara at Sweet Tomato Design is releasing a Halloween kit today. It is more elegant kit, called "Spooks."

I love the black and white papers, especially the damask one. I think it'll be used for more than just Halloween designs at this house.

Here is your quickpage, Enjoy, and leave some love!

Travel the World

Time for another Tempus Fugit highlight! Today it is the fabulous travel kit "Travel the World."

Again, I love all of the little bits and pieces Doris puts into her kits. I am totally in to the ticket stubs and vintage travel memorabilia included in this one. Love it!

Here is your freebie QP. Enjoy!

Be sure to head over to Doris' blog and grab the coordinating freebie alpha!

Autumn Bliss

Cara over at Sweet Tomato Design sent her CT team this kit to play with a few weeks back. It is called "Autumn Bliss" and she was giving it away free for signing up for her newsletter. That offer ended yesterday, but you can still buy it in her store.

Here is the layout I did with it. It is another page for my Portrait album - an album to house all of the professional portraits our family has had done.

Irish Eyes

Cara just released a new kit over at Sweet Tomato Design. It is called "Irish Eyes." It is not a Fall kit like a lot of the others I have been featuring here. It is more of a Spring kit - especially if you like St. Patty's Day or all things Irish.

I know this kit is very special to Cara because she is an Irish Dancer. How great would it be to use it for Irish Dancing pages?! I love it's soft colors and the lace elements. I had to find a picture of my sister and niece to use so I could make it sweet and girly.

I made my layout into a quickpage for you. Enjoy!

Beach Cantina

Have you been to the beach lately? Maybe to Mexico? If you have, "Beach Cantina", the new collaboration kit from Sweet Tomato Design and IBD Designs is for you!

This kit is full of great beach- and cantina-inspired elements and fun bright colors. The ladies did a great job.

I made my LO into a quickpage for you. Enjoy!

Here is my layout.

And I made it into a quick page for you. Enjoy!
