5th Birthday~

Before I head off to bed for the night, I thought I would share a couple of pages with the new kit that just came out from Caged Bird Designs and Jen Maddocks called Life of the Party. 

(You have to look at my pages first)

 Now here is what the collab kit looks like:

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Scrap Trends- Paper and Digital~

I want to share something that I just started: Scrap Trends- Paper and Digital.  
As you all have noticed, I've been doing more scrapbooking.  I've been really enjoying the digital scrapbooking world, but have found that it can be a little overwhelming at times.  With so many different shops, designers, and forums, it makes it really hard to stay with what is current.  So this is why I created the blog Scrap-Trends- Paper and Digital.  My hope is it allows everyone to see what is new and current without searching for hours and hours.  It is ran much like the stamp challenges I've been doing for the last year, as that I use a linky system.  This allows everyone to be able to see things all at once, without having to go through page after page.  I hope that you take a moment to check out my new adventure. 

At the beach

Good Morning everyone!  I have tons to do today, but wanted to share this beautiful kit by Ashalee Wall called Heart and Soul.  I spoke about her in an earlier post, and I am now happy to be sharing some of her work!

This is an old picture, that I'm finially getting around to.  Man they grow so fast!
