Season of Change

Man, everything seems to be changing right now.  A lot in my life is changing.  Even in the scrapbooking world.  We are losing magazines, we are losing contests, we are losing stores and sites.  It's sad.  And the same week I got the best news ever (MLS design team) I also got more sad news.  ScrapLovers is closing the forum.  They were the first design team I tried for...and the first one I made.  Christina has been so awesome and generous and I am really going to miss the whole gang there.  But we are ending it all with a big Farewell Crop.  Would love for you to join us...especially if you have ever been a part of the ScrapLovers community.  

I also wanted to show you a couple layouts today.  Today is new release day for Kate Teague over at 2 peas.  She has two new kits for you: Happy Spring and Sunny Days.  Here are two quick layouts I made with those kits:

Hope you all have an awesome Tuesday!  

Playful

Kate had a new release this week over at 2 peas.  It's a mega kit called "Playful".  Check it out here.  And see what the rest of the DT did on Kate's blog here.  Here are a couple layouts I made with the kit.  

I love the kit...it is so fun!  :)

Well I am off to Idaho today.  My sister-in-law is graduating with her masters there, so me and the kids are heading up with my parents.  Hubby is staying here.  :(  But he is taking his big licensing test on Saturday, so pray for him.  It's a long drive for us, and we are splitting it into two days.  So we will arrive tomorrow.  Long car rides are tricky....you just never know how they are going to go with a little baby...wish me luck!  :)  

Motivation

So I have been looking through some older photos lately...some I might have missed scrapbooking.  And I am surprised by how many I am ending up using, I thought I had scrapbooked all of those that I wanted to.  I'd rather scrapbook photos again then not scrapbook anyways.  :)  So here is a layout for you today using the Fruit Salad kit from the fabulous Kate Teague.

 

BTW...I got an amazing email from Kate this week asking me to design for her...just out of the blue!  Crazy!  :)  I am amazed at how many doors seem to be opening for me with digital stuff!   

I am feeling incredibly motivated today.  This comes after a few days of not feelin' it at all.  So I have a big....secret...project in mind that I think I am going to start on.  Wish me luck!  

Oh...and check out Kate's blog right now for a digital freebie (but only the first 200 get one). Have an AWESOME Friday!
