Snow Angel

Brrr! It has been so cold here the past few days! It would be worth it (kind of) if we at least had some snow on the ground, but no. We have no snow! I dug up a few pictures of my boys playing in the snow last winter and scrapped a page with the new kit from Laurie's Scraps called "Snow Angel."

Laurie says this is her favorite kit yet. It has some excellent elements and every piece is very detailed, as are all of Laurie's kits. I really like the blue and green color scheme - so wintery! Now if only we would get some snow... Anywho, here is my layout:

And, here is a free desktop for you to get you into the mood for winter.

Gone Camping

I love to camp. I wish I could spend more time camping - and I would had I the funds and my husband the time off work! I am always on the lookout for woodsy kits to scrap our photos. Laurie over at Laurie's Scraps released a new kit yesterday called "Gone Camping" and it is exactly the kind of camping kit I like.

I love the natural leaf and twig elements and the awesome stitches. The camping stickers are pretty cute too, and the papers?? Adorable! Love it! It is 30% off right now too. So go grab it and scrap all that summer fun.

Here is what I did with it:

I made a new desktop for you all. Enjoy!

Autumn Air

Are you done with summer yet? Are you ready for fall? I don't know that I am quite there yet. As much as I love the cooler weather, I do love summer. There is a lot of autumn scrapbook kits appearing out there already though. This new collaboration kit, "Autumn Air," from Laurie's Scraps and Pure Creativity Designs is the first I've been able to work with.

I love the color scheme. It will be great for all those autumn pictures - jumping in the leaves, Thanksgiving, or even school pictures.

For your freebie I made the LO into a desktop for you. Enjoy!

BugaBoo

You may or may not know that I have three sons. That's it, no girls. I am always in search of cute boy kits. I found one this week - it is "BugaBoo" from Laurie's Scraps.

It is full of bugs, boyish colors and the like. Isn't it cute? And, it's 40% off until the end of the month at her store! Go get it!

Your freebie today is a desktop. There are four different screen sizes in the file (1280x800, 800x600, 1064x768 & 1680x1024).

Also, Laurie is having her FIRST EVER Speed Scrap over at the forum on Wednesday. Come have some fun, scrap a page, and get a participation prize!

Little Learner

I have been in search of a cute school-themed kit for scrapping school photos. Luckily for me, Laurie at Lauries' Scraps is releasing one today! It is called "Little Learner" and it is dang cute.

With two of my boys going to school this year I am sure I will find lots of uses for this adorable kit. Here is a page featuring photos from my oldest's last day of pre-school this past May.

And, because I am so nice, I made it into a desktop for you. There is no calendar on it - so you can use it year round! There are four different screen sizes in the file (1280x800, 800x600, 1064x768 & 1680x1024).

Also, Laurie is having a great sale at all of her stores - 35% off everything! Laurie has been busy re-vamping a lot of her kits. Head over and pick up a kit or two. You'll be glad you did!

More Exciting News

My last tidbit of exciting news for this week (I can't believe it's Friday already?!) is that I have joined the CT over at Lauries Scraps. I am way excited and love her kits. For my first project I got to work with her new "Stars and Stripes" kit.I love the vintage, muted colors in this kit. I love, love, LOVE the stitched fireworks and the included alphabet too. It would be perfect for Independence Day, or summer activities in general.

I've got something a little different for today's freebie - a desktop! You can insert your own fun photo. I've included four different sizes in the file (1280x800, 800x600, 1064x768 & 1680x1024), so one should work for you!
