Hey everyone, if you can't tell it's been FOREVER since I posted to this blog but getting pregnant and now having an infant and another child at home fills up so much time.

I'm thrilled to say that Val has been designing at ScrapMatters for three years now so we decided to make a monthly brag book calendar from the girls on geniaBeana Scraps CT to give away.

Here is what is up for grabs for you from me:

Click HERE to download it, and please leave me a little comment below I love to read them. Please keep in mind that not all the blogs are on the same time so be patient if one of the blogs does not have their freebie posted.

Plum Dumpling Designs has a fab date element pack up this week called Dating Around that was up for grabs in a previous speed scrap so if you missed the speed scrap you will want to grab it now because they are fab!

I used Dating Around, a template from Purple Tulip's Vacation Pack 5, and Plum Dumping Designs fab kit Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow to create this page.

I used Take Note along with Food for Fans also by Chelle's Creations, and Purple Tulip's Vacation Pack 3 to create this fun page.

Next is the fantastic Designs by Tater and she also has a wonderful Christmas kit out this week. I know that you will love it like I do, I just love all the elements in this kit they are so fun! I also helped name this kit and it is named after a fantastic Christmas song Greatest Time of Year and I hope you enjoy seeing this preview and the layout that I made using this kit.

Next up is I'm sad to say my last item for my guest CT spot for WM[squared] designs but I'm thrilled to say that she has put together an amazing grab bag, as well as a tropical or bright Christmas kit for all those people who rarely or never get any snow.

Here is the grab bag, and you can click the image to go to it in the store to see a peek at what is inside.

Here is the layout I did using a little of everything in the grab bag.

Now onto the other kit for those of you with little or no snow in the winter or at Christmas time. WM[squared] designs teamed up with the fabulously talented Haynay designs to create the collab Christmas in Paradise and it truly looks like a nice warm place to be when it's cold outside.

Now if that wasn't enough and you need some inspiration Chelle of Chelle's Creations also as a journaling class that will be starting in January and if you want to put more story into your layouts this class will

help put you on the right track. This class is NOT on sale this weekend, but Chelle has a special coupon code that is good this weekend for $5.00 off the class! Along with the class you will get a fantastic mega kit

weekly freebies and great classes to inspire you to add more story to those great pictures we are all out

2009-11-20T06:28:00.003-06:00

Today I have a lot of fabulous things to show you that are up for grabs from the designers that I CT for. I'm sure you will love their new releases this week as much as I do.

First up is Andilynn Designs new kit Thanksgiving Greetings (image linked to the store) it is great for vintage layouts or for more current fall or Thanksgiving layouts.

Here is my layout using this fab kit and a wonderful *NEW* Template set from Studio Hillary called Parenthetically Speaking.

If you like this page you can grab these awesome templates here (image is linked).

Next up is another fabulous Thanksgiving kit from Designs by Tater to scrap fall pictures, Thanksgiving pictures or just pictures about why you are blessed or thankful. I'm excited to say that I helped to pick out a name for this kit called Blessed and Thankful and I know that you will just adore it (image is linked below).

Here is my page showing what I feel blessed the most about my two boys my son and my husband, I am very blessed to have them in my life each and every day.

Now let's think about some word-art to add to your layouts, Plum Dumpling Designs has a fab new word art set out this week called Cut it Out Word Art Template Set (image linked below) and it is fabulous because you can make it match any kit you have by just clipping a paper to it to make it match!

Here is a card I made using these fab word art templates and All-American Superhero.

Now that we are thinking about elements on your pages Chelle's Creations has a fantastic new watercolor alpha out this week that recolors really well. Her alpha Paint the Town Green (image linked below) will surely become a staple you can go to again and again for your pages.

Here is my page using this alpha, it also uses her adorable Collaboration kit with Sarah Bennett called Wild Oats and it also uses Let's Camp S'more as well as using Studio Hillary's fab Parenthetically Speaking Templates Set One.

Speaking of fab elements, if you or someone you love has had the stamina to complete a marathon or one of your little ones just likes to run WM[squared] has a fantastic word art pack that is just for you called Life is a Marathon: Word Art (image linked below).

I have never run a marathon but my little boy sure loves to run so I captured a layout here using this awesome word art pack, WM[squared]'s back to school add on, Fabulously Negative Templates Vol. 1, and Let Them Eat Cake!

While you may be thinking of holiday gifts calendars might be just the thing to give as gifts to your family this year and I'm excited to say that along with Andilynn and her CT, I helped create a CD album page and a wall calendar page, and they are both now up in the store up for grabs (images linked below) to just add in your pictures and any personal information like birthdays or special occasions to remember and get them printed for fab gifts.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a blessed week!
