Don't Forget The Grab Bags!

Remember that the Mystery Mix Grab Bags are only available bundled for their awesome $5.00 price tag until the end of the month, which is this Tuesday! I can personally vouch for the awesome things in Grab bags 1, 2, 5 and 6. So go grab them here before they are broken up and you have to pay for everything individually. Here are some of the layouts I did using stuff from 2 of the four grab bags I got.

Everything from this layout (except the date font) is in Mystery Mix Grab bag number 1

Everything in these two layouts (except font/alphas for both layouts, and the template for the frog layout) can be found in Mystery Mix Grab Bag Number 6

I'm so excited I am now creating for Mickey B Designs as well as for Andilynn Designs. I just got added to this new creative team today so I was excited and ready to jump right in to use some of her awesome designs. I already created two pages using her awesome collaboration kit with Sya's blueprints Take Me to the Movies. You can find her amazing designs at Scrap Matters store here. Here are the two pages I created using this awesome kit.

Recent Layouts

Here are some layouts I did for the speed scraps the last two weeks and some of the challenges I completed.

These first two were from the two speed scraps hosted at Scrap Matters this week. I LOVE Speed Scraps, it gets me out of my slump and forces me not to take to long making decisions and just enjoy scrapping my memories with some guidance from the hostess on special instructions for what must be included it also keeps me on my toes on being creative. Both of the layouts are of Brant and his new truck he got from Grandpa A. for Christmas. He is now driving it by himself instead of us having control with a remote!

These next two were completed at last weeks speed scraps thankfully Riley decided to grace me with an early nap so that I could do the day time speed scrap last week.

These two layouts were done for the two Grand Theft Layout Challenges over the last two weeks, where you scraplift (or copy maybe changing it some) a layout from a chosen person
for the week. I really like seeing other scrappers styles and working them into my pages too.

This layout was done for the Word Up challenge, where you are challenged to use words or journaling in a certain way on your layout.

I LOVE how this layout turned out, just because I love the idea of scrapping the things that he currently loves saying so this layout was for the Everyday Magic Challenge using some of the things my little man loves to say on a regular basis.

New today!

The designers at Scrap Matters have teamed up to create some AWESOME Mystery Mix Grab bags. Andilynn has teamed up with Happy Scrap Girl and Trixie Scraps Designs to give you an amazing deal for their grab bag mix. Here is a sneak preview of some things you'll get in the grab bag, and two layouts I did using the grab bag and alpha from Andilynn's awesome Alvean's Beauty Parlor kit (the template for the froggie friends and the font and style used for the title Nature's Beauty are not included in Andilynn's part in the grab bag, but everything else is.)

Speed Scrap Last Night

Well I am addicted to the speed scraps that they have at Scrap Matters they are so fun and it challenges me not to sweat the small stuff so much on my layouts and just scrap some pictures. I am so excited about how my layout came out. I worked on some pictures that I took of Brant going to the Fort Worth Zoo with my 6th grade class (no he didn't actually travel around the zoo with them). Brant had so much fun playing with my teammate's wife and son as we went around the zoo to them since we had so many awesome chaperone's attend I didn't have to have a group and neither did either of my teammates!

Here is the page I made and the awesome alpha and the papers except for the one in the front that looks like snake skin came from Andilynn's awesome kit Alvean's Beauty Parlor (you can click on the name to find the kit and check it out at Scrap Matters).

Wow I'm a CT Member for Andilynn Designs!

I got an amazing personal message from Andilynn Designs at Scrap Matters who personally invited me to join her CT (creative team) for her designs. I just complete layouts and projects and promote her awesome stuff, and get access to her designs for free! I am so excited that she picked me and I have already completed 3 of my 3-4 required layouts per month and two quick pages using her awesome designs. One of the pages I can't post yet, because it has new product that comes out on Friday so I'll post that layout on Friday or Saturday and I'm not sure what we are doing with the quick pages yet so I can't post them yet either.

You can purchase her products at scrapmatters: http://scrapmatters.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=25


Here are two of the three layouts I've done using products from the awesome Andrea known as Andilynn Designs. Some of you might recognize the recipe from Nanny for Almond Joy Cake I couldn't resist scrapping one of my favorite desserts.
