More layouts, QPs and my very first freebie!

So the fabulous Carolyn Kite, who sells under the name of Scrap N Tag, is allowing me to create with her GORGEOUS designs. Seriously. If you haven't seen her designs yet you HAVE to check them out. They are stunning. Here's a preview of her newest kit, linked to her store.



Annnnddddd! Here are some QPs, two of which I made!! They are the FIRST things that I've made that are available for other people to buy so please go check them out! Carolyn even has them on sale for a week. Only $2.00 for four gorgeous pages.



Here is my layout using one of the QPs I made. It's linked to DST if you'd like to leave me some love!



And since you made it so far here is my very first freebie for you, made using Carolyn's fun little mini kit Island Girl! The next time I post (which might not be for a week or so unfortunately, as I am off to the East Coast to visit a college and coming back Wednesday only to leave again Thursday morning to visit yet another college) I promise to have another brag book page for you! So here's the preview and the link! Please leave me some love, as I'd love to know what you guys think of my first freebie! Enjoy!

Slacking on blogging but not scrapping!

So I haven't posted in a long time but I've been making layouts almost every day!! I got accepted on some more CTs, which I'm really excited about. It's so amazing that people want me to work with their gorgeous kits, when I've only been scrapping for about two months! So here are all the layouts I've made recently.

First of all here are two for LorieM, made with her kit Happy 2gether.

And here is one with her kit Lil Ladybug.

Here are two layouts made using Everlasting Moments by Michelle Yiap--another one of the amazing designers I'm working with.

This one is made using Once Upon a Mattress by Danielle Engebretson. It's such a fun whimsical kit!

Whew!! That's all for now. I'll be back tomorrow to link all the kits. Uploading the images took too much effort already. ;]

Challenges, Games and Chats!

Have you guys ever been to Scrappin Freestyle? They're having a crop right now and there's tons of fun challenges, games and chats. You win "tickets" that can be redeemed at a prize gallery after the crop is over. It's ending on Sunday so hurry over! http://www.scrappinfreestyle.com/



Here's a layout I made for one of their challenges. This layout has a record 71 layers. Haha. I made myself a script for PSP that numbered all of the layers from bottom to top. It was really useful when I was adding shadows, especially for the tiny flowers, because I knew that the layers that were copies were the ones that needed to be changed. If you'd like to try the script out, just leave me a comment!


I used Sugar Princess by Nicole (Sugar Plum Paperie) and Ellie (Lash). Isn't it such a sweet kit? You can find it at either http://store.sugarplumpaperie.com/ or http://ellielash.com/store/

Using Tea At Grandma's

So I made another layout using one of Summer's kits, this time Tea At Grandma's. The picture is of my sister, before her senior ball. The kit is full of soft pretty colors! I just loved the lace element.

My official CT layout!

So I was assigned Amy and Lauren (The Polka Dot Plum) and Nicole (Sugarplum Paperie) for this month. I was given Juneberry June by Amy and Lauren and allowed to choose any of Nicole's kits. Here is the layout I did with Juneberry June. Isn't the kit gorgeous? It was sooo much fun to play with. The papers were so pretty I didn't know which ones to choose. I wanted to layer more but I didn't want to cover the pretty patterns either. It was a real dilemma. ;] The kit's full of fun elements: swirls, tags, frames, buttons, flowers! There's also a bunch of lovely shabby stitches I wanted to use but didn't fit in. I kept on adding elements and had a ridiculous number of layers... probably the most I've had so far. I think I was up to 30-something? I'll be making a layout with Sugar Princess from Nicole soon but I wanted to post this up first! I was probably inspired by all the lovely pages the Sunshine Sweeties have made--I spent a good hour going through every single one and commenting. Have you seen how many there are? And they all have such gorgeous layouts. It was super fun. Anyhow... enough of my babbling. Here's the layout!

Yet another layout

Have you girlies heard of Summer Simmons? She's a wonderful designer with a store at http://www.sugargiggles.com/. She's currently revamping her site and wanted people to make some layouts for her using her kits and I asked if I could make some. Here is the first of them! I used her pretty kit Ladybug Picnic. Everything on the layout is from the kit except the frame, which is from Walking on Sunshine. (I can't seem to help using Sunshine Studio products!)

Isn't it a fun little kit? I love the stitched alpha it comes with too! My preview doesn't do it justice at all.

Some Layouts and More Exciting News!

I've been accepted as a Guest Layout Artist for LorieM. If you don't know of her and haven't seen her lovely designs, go check out her blog. She offers freebies sometimes and also sells her gorgeous kits. http://digiscrapdesigns-by-lorie.blogspot.com/ Here is a layout I made with one of her previous freebies.



Lorie also has a little challenge/special gift thing going on currently. You can download pictures of her daughter and make a little bragbook page for her third birthday and receive some pretty bragbook pages Lorie made as thanks. Here is the one I made. I used the Thank You kit by Sunshine Studio Scraps.

This was made for a challenge at Snap and Scrap as well as Digital Candy. I scraplifted You Are the Reason by Hollie from Digital Candy and used Walking on Sunshine by Sunshine Studio Scraps. It's a gorgeous kit that I haven't had time to use completely yet so I'm definitely looking forward to making some more layouts with it.

Want the kit? You can buy it in several different places.

There's more I'm forgetting so I'll add them in later.

That's all for now! I'm off to do some more homework. Ugh.
