Flower Patch - and a Freebie

So you all probably noticed the new look of Laurie's Blog - gorgeous, right? I know, I fell in love with it when I first saw it. Well, we are such lucky people - because Laurie made a kit that coordinates - Love it!

Here is the whole kit that is available at her stores this week for 30% off.

Here is what I was able to do with just a few of the papers and elements in this awesome kit.


And here is my little gift - I made my layout into a template.

Store Closing

Laurie is closing her Ahhh Scrap store - but she is having some killer deals to go out with a bang!

Snow Angels - and a different kind of Freebie!

I had so much fun playing with Laurie's newest kit - Snow Angels. I LOVE the colors, and the detail in the embellishments, the flourishes and the textures of the paper.

Which brings us to my example. I was doing a little shopping at Target and I was perusing the dollar spot for some stocking stuffers for my boys and I found some cute photo cubes and I thought they would make a cute present for the grandparents. Initially I had thought to scrapbook some pictures - the traditional way. But the cube held pictures that were 3.37 x3.37 inches (that's what it says on it - weird) and I thought that might be a little difficult to measure and cut - and then it came to me - make it digitally once - and print off 4 times! Genius - one of the many reasons I love digi scrapbooking!

So here is how my photo cute came together - love it! This kit was perfect - and you can grab it on sale this week in Laurie's stores.

If you can run to target and grab some photo cubes (I know I am going to get some more) I made a template to fill your photo cube with. I even made a a 12x12 template and 8.5 x 11 templates so you can choose which is easier for you to print.

Tis the Season Again and a Freebie

With November more than half over, if you are anything like me, you have already been thinking about Christmas. Laurie's Scraps has an incredible Christmas themed kit - and the colors, textures, elements, and papers are gorgeous. She also has some photo card templates - and they are incredible. Here are some of the things I was able to make with her kit and templates:

Here is the whole kit. You can grab on sale this week at her stores.


Here's what the template pack looks like. Great time and money saver for those Christmas card photos - why pay extra to pick out the less cute premade things from walmart??? How cute are these card layouts - right?


Here's my scrapbook layout I made with the kit - did I mention how much I love it!



I lifted the general layout from Allison Davis in an old CK mag for my layout. I made the layout into a template for you. I love to hear what you think about it. Click HERE or on the preview to download.

Here's two layouts I was able to quickly put together, and they look so good!

Rub a Dub Dub and Freebie

Laurie came out with an awesome kit in her stores today - it is called Rub a Dub Dub. As you can guess it is a bath inspired kit. I love it though, because it could be used for so much more! I love the colors she used, the bubbles look amazing, and the elements look great!

Take a look at her kit - which is 30% off this week, you can grab it at her new store HERE.

And this is my layout I put together - it came together so easily with the gorgeous elements and papers. I love the way it turned out.

Gone Camping and a Freebie!

I love Fridays - and I love Laurie's newest kit - Gone Camping! Sadly we did not do any camping this summer like we had initially planned - things just kept getting in the way. But that didn't mean I didn't have plenty of pictures from previous years to work with. Here is my layout.


Here is what the whole kit looks like - it's full of great papers and elements! This week you can grab it while it's hot off the presses for 30% off at any of Laurie's stores!


And of course, here is my freebie for you. I lifted a layout from the cover of Creating Keepsakes from Nov '08, but I changed it to a 12 x 12 layout, added a photo corner, and a few more layers. I would like to think I "made it my own." I love to hear your feedback if you download! Click HERE or on the preview to download.

Templates galore

You know I love a good template - and lucky you, Laurie is adding more template sets to her stores. Here is what I put together with two of her templates.

Fright Night and a Freebie

I absolutely fell in love with Laurie's new kit as soon as I saw it. Halloween is HUGE at my house, I think it almost beats our Chrsitmas for my husband. I love all the characters, and can see so other dress up and play layouts you could do with them. Here is what I put together with Fright Night:


I only used a small portion of what is in the kit...here is what the whole kit looks like.
Now for a freebie, here is a template of my layout. And if you would like to use the same adorable kit you can grab it in any of Laurie's stores. [on sale this week] Oh, and I LOVE the alpha BTW - I am a huge fan of stars...and you can grab it for free over at Laurie's Blog! Click HERE or on the preview to download my freebie.

Template Freebie

Not a lot going on here today...holiday wise at least. I did get a little time to myself while my youngest was taking a nap. Yeah for me.

I am still loving Laurie's colab kit Autumn air. (BTW it is still on sale)
I turned my layout into a template for you. Click on the preview to download.

Lovin' this new Autumn Air...kit!

Laurie's Scraps teamed up with Purely Creative Designs to make an incredibly fun Fall kit, and it is huge!


I knew I had the perfect pictures of my little guy raking leaves at Grandma's house. What a helpful little guy! The papers are awesome, and the elements are great too, and really complete the layout

You are going to want to grab this kit, it's only available at Digital Scrap Cafe, but if you hurry you can use this coupon to get it even cheaper! I love a good deal!

Forever & For Always and a Freebie!

It's Friday, and you know what that means? Yep, Laurie has a new great kit out! This one is called Forever & For Always, and it so sweet. I love that the color combination, I would never had thought to put them together!

Here is the whole kit...I know it's gorgeous!


Here is what I did with it. I lifted a layout from from Mi'Chelle Larson in Simple Scrapbooks. I did do a little altering with embellishments, and dimensions, but the basic sketch was from the magazine. I love how it turned out! If you hurry, you can grab the kit while Laurie's Anniversary sale is going on during August, and recreate this with your own pics.


And you can do this because I made it into a template for you! This layout was outside of my norm, so maybe playing with this template will help stretch you as well. Download HERE or from the preview.
