Holy scrap funk, Batman!

I don't know what got into me...my scrap mojo just up and abandoned me, and apparently decided to take the whole summer off. Thanks to the lovely ladies at the JM Digi Scrap board and the Scrapathon they hosted this weekend, though, I've once again ventured into Photoshop and made a few new pages to share. Maybe I can stick with it, since I'm woefully behind on my scrapping!

To begin with, I backed up to LawTeeDa's Christmas in July kit, Merry & Bright, which is available at ScrapMatters for $5.99:


We actually had some SNOW this past winter! This page was created using a template from LePingouin's Big Pics set, available for $1.99 at Digital Scrap Cafe:


And then there's one of my favorite snowy days that deserved to be scrapped as well:


More pics coming momentarily, as the photo uploader sees fit to give me a hard time after being away for so long...

Cuppycake

I'll admit it again - I'm a sucker for pink and brown. Throw in a few shades of purple and a dab of plaid, and I'm SOLD. Valarie Ostrom's new grab bag kit Sweetheart has ALL of that!

I just want to squeal a little just looking at it!

And then...THEN! The piece de resistance...the cupcake label. Yep, if there's anything I love more than the aforementioned pink/brown/purple/plaid, it's cupcakes. And I've just been looking for an excuse to scrap the lyrics to this little song:

UGH, my sweet tooth is throbbing. :)  Head on over to Sunshine Studio Scraps and pick up this sweet little kit from VO!

Game time!

This month has been busy with something that I actually never saw coming: T-ball! Rachael isn't exactly an athletic child, but when her two best friends both decided to play, she wanted to give it a go too. We've had a blast with practices (she's made a great new friend on her team, and I've made a great new friend in the little girl's mom) and game days have been way more fun than I anticipated. We're near the end of the season now, and I have lots more pics to scrap, but all of these are from the very first game on May 1st. Double Dutch Design's kit Sliding Into Home was just perfect for our T-ball pics, right down to the orange papers that match her uniform!

My little slugger:

Both of these pages were created with Template Set 3 by Le Pingouin Designs, which will be available at Digital Scrap Cafe on June 1st. Sliding Into Home is available there now for $4.99 - perfect for your own little T-ball/softball/baseball player or fan!

Mommy

My favorite word in the world. :)  I'm a little behind (okay, a lot behind) and should have had pages with this kit finished in time for Mother's Day. But, better late than never, right? Introducing...Dear Mother by Valarie Ostrom Designs:

Being mom to two little girls, I just loved all the pink in this one...

And then, of course, I had to do a page with my own mommy as well. :)

This is such a clean, classic kit with the pink, black, white, polka dots...but you'll have to wait just a couple of days to get your hands on it. It's available at Sunshine Studio Scraps, which is currently being redesigned - it'll be up and running again on June 1st!

Rain, rain, here to stay...

I always thought that April showers brought May flowers...but around here, it seems as though April showers just brought May showers. It's rained and rained and rained for the past week or so, and as much as I love the rain, I'm a little tired of it at this point. And right in the middle of it all, Sus Designs made a kit just for me! (Okay, not really - but it sure feels like it!) Check out Puddle Jumpers:

One of our rainy afternoons:

Some umbrella and rain boots pics would be perfect for this kit, but we are unfortunately lacking in the rain boots department...so I also did a more happy, sunshiney page with this kit...

Got a little rain falling in your life? Or is it all sunshine or rainbows? Either way, this kit pretty much has you covered - and it's on sale for just $2.99 now at Bits2Kits!

Oh my!

I've really been MIA from the scrap world this month! I've never done "scrap goals" for myself before, but I think I'll do just that for June, and see if I can't get back in the swing of things. :)  Meanwhile, here are a couple of pages from LawTeeDa's latest kit, A Day at the Zoo:

It's been two years since our last zoo trip - time for another visit this summer!

Have zoo pics of your own to scrap? There are soooo many cute elements in this kit (it hurt me not to use the penguin or the giraffe, so I definitely have more work to do!) It's only $4.50 at ScrapMatters - go go go!!

Digging my way out...

...of a scrapping funk that's had me not wanting to scrap at all lately. But, there are still these adorable dance pictures patiently waiting to be scrapped, and the perfect little kit that I had found to scrap them with - Love Is All Around (and matching word art) by Pixielily Designs:

I also used templates from Le Pingouin's new Template Set Tilted (coming soon to Digital Scrap Cafe) for both of these pages...

UGH, it was only a month ago and I already can't wait for next year's dance! :)  This kit is perfect for Valentine's Day or ANY "love" layout - it's only $4 ad DSC, and the matching wordart is on sale now for just $.90.
