Feb and March Layouts!

So the last few weeks have been a little crazy. What's new, right? But, I have been making time for scrapping even if I haven't been super diligent about posting it here on this blog. I've loved the cute things that Mary's been coming up with lately.

Oh, and I do blog monthly at Plum Dumpling Designs CT Blog, and it's a great place to get ideas, freebies, templates and all sorts of cool stuff. You should check it out! Happy Scrappin' Folks!

Recently

I really have been scrapping. I promise...Here's the pages I've done lately...

Loving the new place

We've moved this past month. To our own diggs. It's been nice to get settled in our own space. We all walk around saying, "we love our home". Cept for Lukie. He doesn't talk in complete sentences yet. But we know he would be saying that. So...when I've needed a break from unpacking, I've been scrapping. Here are a few pages from the last week.

What? I am still one away from my goal of 5 a month? Guess you know what I'll be doing tonight...Happy Scrapping All!

Old Goals, Making New

So one of my goals has always been to be caught up with a kids scrapbook by their birthday. It started out okay, I've always loved to scrap so by the time we had our 1st babe, I was pretty caught up and scrapping while she was a newborn was a sanity saver. Now having two kids, moving out of state, trying to help the DH start his practice, and do photography to pay bills, sadly scrapping has fallen by the wayside. It really is tragic, seeing is this is one of the things that I REALLY love to do. So. I've thought that no matter how crazy life ends up being, I think if I do 5 pages a month til November (Babe #2's birthday is November 30th), then maybe I will be close to being caught up by his birthday. Lofty goal, probably. But goal nonetheless. And here it is in print. So I'm officially accountable. Thanks Tawni for starting that birthday tradition by the way!!! Here are my first contributions for this month.

The first is using Mary's kit that was new last month, called Funny Face. It was a lot of fun to work with. Never short on personality and huge smiles with little man, you will be seeing more of this kit in the next few months, for sure.

This page was done with "Terrible Twos" by Plum Dumpling Designs. So fun. And so appropriate.

Recent Pages done with Plum Dumpling...

Plum Dumpling Designs has a new kit out this week folks. Summer Storm was a great kit. So easy to use. Maybe it's because we have our own little tornado running around the last few months. He really is a mess. I did a thieving page on it, and there are a few other pages I've done with Mary's Designs that I have neglected to blog about. Click on the layout to get to see the kit in her store. Happy Scrapping!

Both of these layouts were modified from templates that were part of Mary's Grab Bag in May. Now you can find them separate here.

QP Freebie

Here's the QP freebie from the Easter page I did last week for baby girl. You can also find more freebies over at Plum Dumpling's CT Blog, so head over there for more goodies. Just click on the layout below to get to the download. Happy Monday!

It's a new release day...

Sarah Bennett has two new kits out today! It's exciting and they are both awesome collabs. The one that I got to play with was Go Green with WM2'd Designs. I did a couple of pages with this one, and what I love about it, is they look completely different. It's packed full of fun goodies. Click the preview below to check it out!

And Mary of Plum Dumpling Designs has the full Whispers of Spring Kit released today. Their is a freebie of half the kit in the SM newsletter for April. I loved how this page turned out, so much so that I decided to make a freebie QP of it to give away on Monday on Mary's CT Blog. So check back then.

Last but not least, I worked up a page using the new Chunky Metal Alpha, and it completely worked awesome with the kit "He's my valentine".

I loved how they all turned out! Happy Scrapping Folks!
