Happy 4th of July!

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

sweet cherry pie

Miss Holly over at Pixie Perfect Designs did it again! She made this yummy kit Sweet Cherry Pie that will for sure make your mouth water!!! Isn't it sooooo sweet! So if you just can't deal wait for my pages, head on over to ESS to her store where you can find it! I have felt a little stuck lately, and my second page, I just wasn't feeling. But it sure does have a couple cute kids on it right?!



And of course here are my pages with my darling babies!

Roses Summer Splash

Yup, thats right! You heard me! Rose's Summer Splash! Miss Erin over at Scrappweiss Designs named and designed a kit just for ME! You can find it in her store over at ESS. Take a sneeky peeky at the kit! I chose the color palette and gave her an idea for the theme and abracadabra here it is!



Here are my pages: Two totally different layouts but the same gorgeous kit! I love how versatile I was able to make it!

Lil Bit Rock

I seem to be having a hard time fulfilling my CT obligations the past couple of weeks while my DH has been away. School has finally closed the doors until next fall, camps, swim lessons, gymnastics, cheerleading, baby, DH going away with the Navy and all the household duties of being mom have overtaken me. So I have finally gotten to this AWESOME kit by Pixie Perfect Designs called Lil Bit Rock that you can find in her store over at ESS.

Here is what this wonderfully ROCKIN kit looks like!



And here is what I did with it! (It was the perfect kit to work with because anything I did looked just right!)

Caryn's Country Meadow

Let me just say how awesome Erin is over at Scrappweiss Designs. She wanted all of her CTM's to come up with a color swatch and she would make a kit for each of US! So here is the first one called Caryn's Wild Meadow. Mine is next. It is called Rose's Summer Splash. I am going to start working on that tonight or tomorrow. I have another kit by Pixie Perfect Designs that I have got to work with too...and that one is great too! I can't wait to show it to you! So without further ado, here is Caryns kit:


You can get it here at ESS

and my layouts:

Stars and Stripes

No I am not feeling better yet, in fact my allergies have bombarded me and I can't breath, smell, taste, hear, or swallow a thing! I can't quit sneezing and my 15 month old son is really wondering what happened to me everytime this gargantuous sneeze comes out! lol It is amazing how much we rely on those silly sinuses!lol
So another quick post is coming from me today! I saw this kit from Cathy K one of the designers that I am on the creative team for and again, I new what photos I had to use. It all flowed together so smoothly for me, and I just loved this kit. I say that all the time, but I just love when everything just goes together ya know! So go to her blog (linked from her name) and check her out. She is the featured designer for the month over at SBE, and if you are signed up for the newsletter, you get this kit FREE!!!

Here is what it looks like:



And here is what I did with it!

Magical Moments

This is truly going to be a quick post. I am not feeling well, and my dear husband of course is gone for the month, and Hudson is waking up. Kids are out of school, time is something that I can't find enough of. If you can find some extra time that you can spare, please let me know where I can find the end of your rainbow, because, there is just no time at the end of mine!
This kit, Magical Moments you can find here at Scrapdish. Done by Melissa Daniel Designs.



Totally made for my vacation photos!!! Well not really, she just went to disney herself, so conveniently enough, perfect for our recent trip too! Just too perfect not to use for Magic Kingdom!




That was quick right! Gotta change laundry, go get a few things from gymboree, and do dinner, before heading out to the last TBall game. Can I close my eyes yet? I just yawned. No kidding.

Funky Monkey

I had this wonderful post all written up and then my stinkin computer froze. Love it when that happens. So I would love nothing more than to sit here and cut and paste and copy everything I have already done.

To begin with, I have been sitting on these layouts for a while and I was so excited to post them when I was "allowed" to because the kit is so stinking cute! So without further ado, I now present to you Funky Monkey by Scrappyweiss Designs....It is nothing short of AWESOME isn't it! You can find it here at ESS.



And of course here are the vacation photos that I just had to use with it:

Doodley Spring

I am running out of pictures(aside from our vacation photos)! Can you believe it! Of course I have photos I just went on vacation. I want to scrap those in my paper album though, I just need to find the time to make one! Though I never finished my last summer album before I started digital. Too funny. Okay, so the latest kit was called Doodley Spring. It was by Pixie Perfect Designs and here is her blog. This is such a wonderful team to work on. Her style changes with each kit, and keeps me on my toes. I used her fairy kit, which is so different from this one! She is so talented! So go check her out! Here is what the kit looks like:



And here are my pages!

Laugh

I seem to be so busy lately that I can't find the time to scrap. TBall is taking a lot of time, and gymnastics, and work, and cheerleading meetings. By the end of the night, it is a wonder my eyes aren't crossed and my fingers can still find their way around the keyboard. Anyhooo, I did two more pages by Cathy K. This Kit was so fun! I think that I could go back to it over and over and over with so many different pictures. I chose the kitty ones because I needed to use them but there were so many other ones I could have chosen. It is called Laugh and you can find it over at Scrapbook elements.
This is what it looks like and you are lieing if it doesn't make you smile. I just love the colors and the bright and boldness. It just makes your eyes pop and I didn't know where to start, because there was so many things I wanted to do.



And here is what I did with it:

Oh Da-Da Dear collab

Can you believe it is June already??? So I applied to be a guest CT member for Melissa Daniel Designs (you can find her stores at Scrapable or Scrapdish). I did this many many months ago, I believe before the New Year. I am so excited for so many reasons...One is that I get to pick what I want and make what I want!!! How awesome is that!!! So here was my first choice, called Oh Da-Da Dear


Melissa did this as a collab with Neverland Scraps.

So here are the two layouts that I did using this fun kit, and of course they had to be from my vacation...but weren't the colors just so perfect for the pictures!





I also have a double page LO using a kit by one of my favorite Designers Scrappyweiss Designs but I am waiting for her to release it so I can unleash the lions and let you see it! I love it by the way! And I know you will too!!! HEHEHEHEHEHE, so secretive!

And incase you forgot those wonderful lyrics to the famous song, here goes:

Deep in the hundred acre wood where Christopher Robin plays
You'll find the enchanted neighborhood of Christopher's childhood days
A donkey named Eeyore is his friend and Kanga and little Roo
There's Rabbit and Piglet and there's Owl, but most of all Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear

Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear

Fairy Hollow

All my designers are making these fantabulous kits just for me right now!!! I am so excited! Holly over at Pixie Perfect Designs created this super dee duper (yes I just quoated Barney) kit, that was so totally perfect for our meetings with Tinks fairies. I will go onto Tinks pictures next. But until then here is her kit, and the layouts I did using her Fairy Hollow kit you can pick up at Enchanted Scrap Studios.

It's Your birthday

One of my fab designers Cathy K (aka twoboyz00) that I ct for did this wonderful kit that was inspired by a beetles song...hmmmm which one could that be? You can find it through her blog or at digiscrapaddicts.



Isn't it so cute!??? I saw it and once again, knew what photos I had to use. Which was lucky for me, because I had yet to scrap them and I guess, there was a reason for it. A couple years have passed, but the memory of this party are so very clear. It was for sure, the best party I have ever been to. Can't you tell from the photos how much fun we had. I just die looking at our clothes! Amazing Dawn (check out her blog, it is as fab as she is too), kudos for throwing yet another AMAZING party! You are well, I would say my brotha from another motha but maybe I will say my sista from another mista!

summer love kit

I am in a hurry to get to bed, so this is going to be quick. I used the summer love kit by Pixie Perfect Designs. I didn't question or hesitate using these photos and am so honored to have had the chance to look back and reflect on my friendship with this wonderful woman that I am so lucky to have had in my life for the short time that I did. Emily passed a way shortly after her 30th birthday from breast cancer that spread to her lungs and liver. She left behind a husband and two children that as a mom, makes my heart weep. She was an amazing woman and has truly changed my life and how I look at it. I hope that you all have a chance to have an "emily" in it. Here are the pages I created with it

Favorite Recipe

I have been waiting to post these ones! When I got home from vacation I got to jump right into this kit. It is a design by Scrappyweiss Designs called Favorite Recipes. You can find it at her store at Enchanted Studio Scraps. I struggled with the right photos to use for this kit. I don't know why but so many different photos came to mind and I think that I ended up using the right ones, though I had to go back a few years for the first page. Here is what the kit looks like:



I just love doing what I do because I get to always go back to whenever I want and relive moments that were so precious so many years ago, and recreate them on paper! Or here on the computer for you to see too!
So without going on, it must be the lack of oxygen due to my stuffed sinuses but I am feeling mushy today! Here is what I came up with from this kit!

One fine day

I was super excited when I was finally caught up enough to begin creating for a designer whose team I joined just before leaving on vacation. Now I am sick!!! Boo hoo! Well I must say that that stinkin bug has made home here in Mi casa and does not want to say adios! I am ready to kick it in the butt and get better. From my little guy to my daughter, and on to my husband full circle back to me, when will it give! So here I am, I have managed to squeeze a couple LO's out for a great and wonderful designer Cathy K. I used her kit One Fine Day which she entered into a SYTYCD contest over at digiscrapaddicts . Here is what the kit looks like:


And here is what I came up with:


I wanted to cry after I finished this page of my daughter in her gown with Prince Charming. It made me think about how fast the last nearly 6 years have gone by and how quick the next 6 are. It won't be long until she is all grown...I guess I had a moment! I love my little princess!

Enchanted Sea

I forgot that we went to the Seattle aquarium just before Easter. So when we got home from vacation, I was super excited to find this kit and get to use those photos! Here is what the kit looks like from Pixie Perfect Designs over at Enchanted Studo Scraps you can pick up this great kit.

And here is what I created with it

Make Believe Collab

One of the designers I CT for has went and done a collab while I was gone....hmmmmpph....well I saw the kit and I had to use it though they are already in the process of releasing. So go grab it hurry! Here is a copy of the kit from Erins portion from Scrappyweiss Designs:

All I could think when I saw it was magic. Thus the title of my layout! Isn't my DD just so cute! That face painting was amazing! She was so excited to get it done, but couldn't have washed it off faster when I said she could go swimming!lol Here is what I came up with:
