12 Days of Christmas - Freebies

Laurie's Scraps is giving away a freebie everyday until Christmas! So that means 9 more days of freebies! Make sure you stop by Laurie's Blog everyday to see what she is giving away that day.

Because I think it turned out so cute, I just have to share my Christmas card I am sending to friends and family this holiday season. I used Laurie's Scraps' "Snow Angel" kit and Collie's Corners' "You've got me clustered" template.

Oooh -and right now there is a contest on Laurie's Blog to win her "Snow Angel" kit - so hurry on over HERE to get some freebies!

Christmas Wishes and a Freebie

I can't believe how closely the Holidays are coming, where has this year gone? Laurie has a new kit for all your upcoming Christmas occasions, cards, and scrapbooking. Oh the digi-goodness I could make with this kit!

Here is the kit...you can pick it up on sale at any of Laurie's stores. (Don't forget her grand opening at Gotta Pixel - where you can grab everything for 40% off!)

Big World and a Freebie

So you know Laurie does AmAzInG work with her kits, right? Well this next one is no exception - and it is massively GIGANTIC! So many adorable elements!

Here is a look at her latest kit, Big World, that is one sale in her stores right now!

Here is a look at a separate elements pack you can get, these are a must have in my book!

When I first saw a preview of some of the elements, I knew just what picture I had, that I still needed to scrap! I started digital scrapbooking not long after this trip, and even though I am mostly caught up with current pictures, I have yet to go to too far back from when I started. I will get our trip to NY in 2008 done at some point! ;)

And of course I turned my layout into a template for you. Click HERE or on the preview to download.

While Beauty Sleeps and a Freebie

I got to play with another great kit by Laurie's Scraps this week, you are going to love it! It's called While Beauty Sleeps and it coordinates perfectly with Laurie's other "princess" kits. But Just because it's a princess kit, doesn't mean you can't use it to scrap pictures of your boys...

I got my inspiration for my layout from an ad again, but this time it was from the Martha Stewart Home magazine. Here's the ad:

Down by the Seashore and a Freebie

Here is an adorable layout I put together of all my boys swimming. Make sure you take a close look at the journaling - a great joke we picked up from my cousin 7 or 8 years ago - we can't help but say it anytime we are going swimming. (Go ahead - click on the layout to see it bigger - it's okay, I'll wait.)


You're glad you read the joke, and wondering who you can tell it to, am I right? ;)
