{my digi life}

After a busy couple weeks...

I scrapped again!!! 

Here's a page I did for both Bella Gypsy and Studio Hillary.
Using the Bright Sunshiny Day kit from Bella Gypsy and a template from Studio Hillary's March Grab Bag.

And I will be having a good layout coming.  We cut Riley's hair today and I'll be crying as I do the before and after page.  I cut the curls...  WAH!!

Some recent layouts...

Here are some recent layouts that I did for CT's that I'm on...

This one is using a template from Bella Gypsy and a kit from Bella Gypsy - Pear Extraordinaire.

This one is using a template from Studio Hillary and the kit is from Shabby Princess - Yours Truly.

This one is using a template from Studio Hillary, the kit is Atomic Bounce from Melissa Bennett and the alpha is Crumplebets from Suzy Q.

I have been LOVING being on my CTs.  I get great kits from Bella Gypsy and wonderful templates from Studio Hillary.  They go well together!!

I just need to find some time to get some more layouts done.  Between school, work, the family, and my recent ongoing sickness, it's been kinda hard.  But I hope to get some awesome layouts done this weekend.  I guess I'll have to SCHEDULE them in!!  LOL!

Hope you like them!

project 365

This year, I'm doing a scrapbook challenge called Project 365.  You can find information on it here.  I was a little reluctant to do it, but since I've gotten back to digi scrapping I thought it would be an awesome way to take more pictures.  Plus, it's a fantastic way to document my daily life (a la Ali Edwards' "A Week in the Life").

Here is my pic for today...

Yes, that's a cup of Mayan Chocolate coffee and a box of DayQuil/NyQuil.  I've been battling a sinus problem that has been causing headaches, stuffiness, and dizziness.  And that coffee just ROCKS!!

In other news...

I just joined on with Bella Gypsy as one of their CT members!  I had stopped doing CT stuff since I didn't have much time (and I was burnt out).  But I feel like I need to "get back on the horse" and scrap again!  I just did a one kit call with Janine at Foxy Designs and I have a layout to get done for Jeanette Bollinger Designs' one kit call.

I can't wait to see what this year holds for me!

Awesome photo editing!

I was on Jessica Sprague's blog today for her Photoshop Phriday...  and she talked about doing a new photo technique called "ShaZAM"...  easy peasy!!!

Here's the original photo...

And here is the "ShaZAM" pic...

WOW!!!  I love it!!!

My recent layout

Here is a layout I did for Nathalie at enKay Designs using her Boysenberry kit.  It is my DS on his first trip to the park and a great swing ride!!

Thanks, Nathalie, for the great kit!!!

Some new layouts...

Life has gotten quite hectic here.  You know the saying "when it rains, it pours"?  Well, my life has been a typhoon!!!

Using Paula Duncan Designs:

Using enKay Designs:


Using Phoenix Designs:


I have updated my Permanent CT positions and Guest CT positions on my sidebar.  I am still trying to figure out how to get blinkies in there!!!

My time has also passed with Paula Duncan...  I had a great time working with her and hope to be good enough to get a permanent CT spot with her sometime!!!

Well, I've got a LOT of scrapping to do...  Just got a bunch of new CT kits and need to get some pages accomplished!!!!

Thanks for taking a look!!  Please leave a comment, if you'd like!!!

RAK layout

I was on DST the other day and found "The Happy Place" forum.  I don't know how I missed this forum all along...  maybe 'cause I was always involved in the "Chatter" that I failed to look anywhere else!!  LOL!

Well, I found a designer who was RAKing a new kit... 

Happy Love by Sammy Design

So after I got this wonderful kit, I decided to do a layout of my DD with it...

And this is the result...

This layout was out of my "comfort zone", but I was SO HAPPY with the results!!!

I am working on some layouts for Elizabeth Jenkins at Divine Digital...

Some recent layouts...

I figured since I started this blog to show off my work...  maybe I should post some???  I guess that would be a good concept!!  LOL!

So here is some of my work...

Guest CT

I have a Guest CT position with Beth Kern at Gotta Pixel for June and August!  I am so excited!

I can't wait to get started.

I have put in for a few more CT positions, but I have not heard back from the designers yet.  One call should be ending shortly and the other call doesn't end until the end of the month.  So I'll be patiently waiting by my INBOX!!

I'll be listing some of my layouts on here shortly...  I am hoping to get some on here this weekend!!!
