Vegas Baby! {and a freebie!}

Ok, so I knew I had the perfect picture of my friend Leslie and I in front of the Nugget Hotel/Casino from 4 years ago (I think the Nugget may be gone now.) We were in Vegas for the CTMH convention, I was prego, and we were being cheep and staying down the strip from the convention - you can't beat $19 a night! We took pictures of our walk to convention, and all kinds of fun - but neither of us can find the photos! We had both recently purchased digital cameras, so yeah, I am at a loss.

I was worried because I was going to have to get creative with Laurie's new kit "What happens in Vegas." But it was so easy, this kit is awesome! Even though I'm not a big gambler, I think I hit the jackpot when I bought a small vacuum for our family, or rather Nate. Click on the image to enlarge it and you can read the journaling if you would like.


This is an awesome kit with muted retro colors, and it is definitely a winner! Run on over to one of Laurie's stores to pick it up while it is on sale!


And, here is a fun brag book page for you from the kit! Click HERE or on the preview to download!

Daddy's Boys

I made this layout with Laurie's Daddy's Day kit for the quote challenge in her forum. Participating in her challenges are a great way to earn a free kit, and have a "reason" to get something done! I love how this one turned out - just had to share!

Little Learner Kit - and a freebie

Ok, for those of you who know me well, know I am a teacher. So it's no wonder that I LOVE Laurie's new kit, Little Learner! Here is an example of a layout I made with the kit. It is so versatile, and the papers are so fun, you could use these for any type of layout! (I especially loved the ones with stars - I am a sucker for stars!


You can pick up the kit at any of Laurie's stores - right now she has all of her kits on sale for 35% off which is awesome!


So the first thing that came to mind when I was thinking freebie with this kit, was a backpack or luggage tag. Simply add your own text, print, punch a hole at the top, lace some ribbon through the hole and attach! Voila! Perfect for getting those new backpack ready for school, or easily finding your luggage on the turnstile. Click on the preview or HERE to download.

Template Challenge at DSC

So I was collecting some freebies tonight and came across this cute template at Digital Scrap Cafe and I thought the template was cute, but I couldn't resist completing the challenge for the awesome prize - a paper pack. Check it out here to grab the template and see the prize.

Here is my layout - I used Laurie's Scrap's "Kristine" Kit. Even thought it is a more "girly" kit, I was easily able to make it work with with my little guy.
