Back again!

I have no excuse for not posting this summer! Yes, I was busy but not so much that I couldn't take the time to post some LOs and previews for the latest kits by Franziska Altmann. As always they are so fun to work with! Lil Froggie is so colorful and fun...it was perfect for the silly LO of Brenainn in his toddler raincoat! Her latest designs were for a collab effort with Studio mgl Designs - MZHope. Although I didn't post the preview, please see the LOs Bubble-ing With Imagination and Teddy? Aren't Franziska's designs beautiful?

Finally, but certainly not least, I am excited to post that I am guesting for Desytka Designs for the rest of August and September! It is such an honor to be chosen. She has beautiful kits such as Sweet Little Dreamer and The Energy of Summer. Just look at what beautiful LOs you can create with her designs! I am looking forward to creating even more LOs with her designs!

Well, that's it for now. Happy scrapping!

Oops!

I'm afraid May was a busy month for me at work and I got little done at home. Although I managed to take my daily photo, keeping up with the blog was beyond me! I have been doing LOs, though, and the following are some of the most recent using Franziska's newest kits. I will try to do a better job of keeping up with my blogging!!

Franziska's newest kit is "Strawberry Sunday" and is available at The DigiChicks! Ziska is a guest designer there for the month of June. Congrats!

Another kit Ziska created for TDC is "Into the Blues". As always, there are some beautiful elements to play with. In addition, she put together some pagestarters that make creating LOs super quick!

Spring Break!!

Whew!! It is finally here and I have lots of time to scrap if I want! Franziska has a new kit out which will help me do just that...Little Buggy. It has lots of cute ladybugs and wonderful painted flowers. As always, go to my gallery at DST for full designer credits for my layouts.

April Fool's Day

A new month with Easter just around the corner! Franziska has a new collab kit out called April Showers. She collaborated with the talented Irene Alexeeva and they have created a wonderful kit (see the preview below). I have included two layouts I did.

Franziska also participated in this month's Digi Files 3 with the super cute kit Counting Sheep. It will soon be available at her shop but if you want it now go to the Daily Digi! The layout I did is included below.

Please see my gallery at DST for complete credits on all the layouts.

Has it really been a month?

I can't believe its been a month since I posted last! Franziska has been busy creating the beautiful Waiting For Spring. She also did another collab kit with Ziggle Designs and it is the super cute Forest Friends. Franziska then created the coordinating kit Forest Friends Stickers and Stamps. The previews are below with some layouts I created with the kits. See my gallery at DST for credits.

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! We have snow on the ground and a fire in the woodstove so we are happy. I have had a nice relaxed day scrapping and surfing the web. It has been a while since I posted here! It does get away from me.

Franziska has two new kits out...Marmalade Skies and Vintage Flowers. They are both marvelous with wonderful colors and elements. The alphas are perfect, also. Here are the previews with a few LOs I have done. Please see my gallery at DST for full designer credits.

Winding Up January

Here is another LO using Franziska's beautiful new kit Ocean Cloud. This is a lovely kit with a great combination of colors and elements! I love using it!

Here is Grammie's Garden.

Catching Up

It seems I am catching up both at work and here on this blog. At least here, I am doing somewhat better than I did last year! Anyway...

Franziska Altmann has a wonderful new kit out called Ocean Cloud available at http://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/ . I don't have a preview for it yet but I thought I'd post my first LO using this fun kit. It's called Spring Dreaming and the photos I used needed a very special kit to highlight them!

MLK weekend

Being back at work, I am really enjoying this three day weekend! My creative juices are flowing and I am learning some new tricks with CS3! Anyway, here are some recent LOs. (Please see designer credits in my gallery at DST.)

New LOs Using designz by kristi

Here is the preview for Kristi's new kit "Gentle Frost" plus two LOs I designed.

Project 365 Week 1

Here are the LOs for Week 1. I had no theme (obviously) just took photos of my daily life. I used papers from Franziska's Snowberry kit. Individual photos are in the slideshow at right.

Project 365 Photo Slideshow

It took me awhile but I finally got the slideshow to work with my photos! (See at right) Tomorrow I will update it with all the photos to this date. I will also post a preview of Kristi's new kit "Gentle Frost". Until then...live well.

Recent Layouts

Happy New Year!

It has arrived...a new year! This is going to be a great year I just know it. I have decided to participate in Project 365 which is to take a photo every day. I will post my photos here either on a daily basis or in a weekly LO. Getting behind is a good possibility but my goal is to succeed this year!

I finally figured out how to fix the "large" pictures so I'm feeling better about posting! Here is the last LO I did using primarily Franziska's Snowberry kit.

Christmas Layouts

I know...I am really bad at this blog thing but here I am again! I am now on another creative team! Designz by Kristi has invited me to join her team so I am very honored. Below you will find a few holiday LOs I have created using various kits by Kristi, Vera Lim and Franziska or for a challenge. Please check out my gallery at DigiShopTalk for complete designer credits. http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=1802

Merry Christmas!!
