Everyone loves a little recognition

I made a page with the beautiful collab called Changes by Valarie Ostrom and Inspired by Dominic Designs, and it made Layout Of The Day at Scrapity Doo Dah!  How wonderful!  Thanks SDD for the LOTD recognition.

Here is the page I made...

...and check out how amazing the Changes collab by Valarie Ostrom and Inspired By Dominic is...

I did notice that this cute kit is now 25% off!  It is only $3.75 in IBD's shop at SDD!

Thanks for the GSO!

It is so exciting when layouts get recognition isn't it?  Tipou put a layout I made using Melissa Bennett's Love Is Spoken Here kit in the GSO thread at DST.
Here is my layout....
It is called You At 18 Months Old

It is a layout of my baby boy, and things that describe him in his 18th month.

Here is the kit I used...

Thanks for letting me share, and thanks for the GSO!  It made my day!

On a personal note...

I've had some layouts featured lately!  It is so exciting when other people recognize your layouts and you get a little public recognition isn't it?  LOL!
I scrapped this photo of my boy (the little guy on the right) and his cousins walking to their auntie's wedding, and on the 14th it was featured on the Gallery Standout Blog.

I used Autumn Glory by Melissa Bennett for that layout

I just found out today that Funky Playground Designs featured my Snaapshots of today layout on their blog as a FPD Gallery standout.  I made this page for the My Lifetime Story challenge at Faith Sisters.  It is snapshots of a few things we've done this summer.  I don't often do a multi photo layout, so I'm glad people like it!

I used a super awesome kit for that page.  I used a kit called Friendship Part One.  It is a collab between the FPD designers and the designers at the DigiChick that can be picked up at FPD (Friendship Part 2 is over at TDC).

... and later tonight (hopefully), or maybe tomorrow, I am going to post a freebie I made for you as kind of a promotion of a little product I have coming out tomorrow (the 24th).

See you later!

Sharing... Layouts, a FREE template...

Hello!  I'm so glad it is Monday!  A new week and it is off to a great start!

I have a free template for you today below, but first I want to tell you that Faith Sisters added my "Yummy Backyard Fun" layout to their Made You Look Monday Blog post.  Thank you FS for the recognition!  If you like this layout it is going to be available in a quickpage set at GingerScraps in the coming days!!  It will be accompanied by some other really cute QP's!

I made the page using the super amazing new Backyard BBQ collab kit by the GingerScraps Design Team.

Check out how C-U-T-E this kit is...

The kit includes: Includes:
59 Papers
75 Elements
6 Alphas
Glitter - Style and sheets
Full Word Art Set- 7 pieces
CU template set
Cardstock Style
You can get all of that for only seven bucks!  However if you spend ten dollars in the GingerScraps shop during the month of July you will receive an email for a coupon so you can get that kit for just ONE DOLLAR!  That is a lot of goodies for a low price!

I also have a template for you!  Last week (July 5th) Faith Sisters featured my layout Freedom Isn't Free on their Made You Look Blog post, so I made it into a template.  Here is the layout...

That is an old photo of my Grandfather.  
The layout is made using Old Glory a collab by Trixie Scraps Designs and Designs by Sarah Bennett

Thanks for the recognition... here is a free template...

Faith Sisters recognized my "Mommy's Little Cowboy" layout on their Made Ya Look Monday blog post last Monday.  I decided to make that layout into a template.  It uses a couple of my favorite scrapping techniques white space and blocking.  If you like those techniques or if you want to try them then go ahead and grab the template and have fun.
I already showed you the layout a few posts back, but first
Here is the layout once again...

 I used Buckeroo Blues by Teri Thing-o-my-jigs from GingerScraps

 and here you go...
here is the template

Please don't forget to leave me a comment if you take the template ok?
Thanks.

Finally found the perfect kit for some baking photos

I finally found the perfect kit for some photos I took of my son back in September.
It is called Oven Lovin' by Scrappy Cocoa.

Check out this cute kit

Here is the layout I made with it.  It is of my little guy helping bake some sugar cookies.  Actually the cookies are called "Moon Cookies."  The recipe was in the back of a book we checked out from the library called The Moon Must Be Milk.  (The book is in the bottom picture).  My son loved that book so much and had a blast making the cookies (and I had a blast scrapping the pics)

(edited to add that I just learned that this layout was chosen to be featured on the Made You Look Monday blog post at Faith Sisters.  Check it out HERE)

Here it is bigger...

This is also my very first CT layout on the GingerScraps stie CT.  GingerScraps is the sweetest site.  It has the a store full of cute products and the forum is such a fun place.  I am thrilled that they asked me to be on their creative team!!  What an honor!  If you haven't checked out the site yet I would encourage you to do so!

:) More recognition. So exciting!

I was so excited when I discovered that I got layout of the week at Log Your Memory!  Check it out...

Here are the credits...
This is me by Jaclyn Bernardo Designs available at FPD
Fonts are DJB Print and Ghostwriter

Thank you LYM!

P.S.   I already made this layout into a template... I just have to decide if and when I want to give it out.  Would anyone be interested in the template I made of this layout?  If so please leave me a comment :)

Edited to add that LYM is also going to publish the layout below in their 2010 yearbook.  It is an honor being published!

Here is another page that LYM is going to publish in their 2010 year book!  It is so exciting that I will have pages in print!

Thanks for looking!

Hello!

Yep It has been awhile since I've been here.  I have been on the computer quite a bit, but when I am on, I am scrappin' or doing other CT things.  I need to get back to blogging more regularly.  I miss it!  Anyway I was really touched that Dawn added one of my layouts to the gallery standout thread over at ScrapMatters that I just had to come over here and share.  It is always fun getting a bit of recognition for a layout.

Here is the layout:
(linked for credits)

I actually made that page for the Faith Sisters My Lifetime story challenge.  It was challenge #18 scrap a spiritual moment.  The photos are of me at about age 10.

Shhh...  If you like the composition of that layout I'll let you in on a little secret.  I just may have made that layout into a template for a template blog train that the Sarah Bennett CT just might be working on sometime in the near future so you just might want to keep watching for it if you like templates. 

Another Re-release!

Sarah Bennett is re-releasing Remember Me and it is one of my FAVES!  (If you read to the bottom of this post I will direct you to where you can get an amazing freebie)

Here is the preview...

Oh my!  Isn't that just the neatest kit?!!  The image is linked to Sarah's SM shop.
Oh and if the kit looks familiar... take a look around this blog... (yep it is decorated in "Remember Me" I told you I love this kit! )

Here is a page I did with it when it was first released

My layout was featured by FPD as layout of the week way back then too.  It was the first time I received recognition for one of my layouts so I was so excited.

Sarah has a FABULOUS add on!  You will definitely want to hop over to the Sarah Bennett CT Blog and pick it up!

Here is what it looks like...

I can't believe that she is just giving away the add on.  It is amazing!
