Enchanted by Growing Pains Scrapped

Tracy has a fun new kit out today called Enchanted. The colors are great and there are such cute elements – fairies, a castle, a frog and some great butterflies.

Don’t forget about the great matching cardstock and quickpages.

Here is my layout – my niece feeding my oldest son. Luckily I had this fun picture with pink since I love using pink in my layouts – which I rarely get to do with two boys.

I made you a 1440 x 900 desktop – just in time for July.

There are links to other CT freebies on Tracy’s blog too so make sure you pick those up too. Thanks and have a good weekend. Hope your Fourth of July is awesome too. :)

10-10-10 at DSDI and a Speed Scrap

Today kicks off the 10-10-10 event at DSDI. To kick off the holiday season and to wrap up 2010 they are having a 10-10-10 event. It runs from today through December 10th – so it will be over before you get too busy with holiday stuff. Every day there will be a different challenge having to do with a list of 10 things – 10 favorite memories, the top 10 current events, your 10 best pictures – you get the idea. The first one is to scrap what you consider to be your 10 Best Songs of 2010; it doesn’t have to be songs released in 2010, just songs you enjoyed in 2010. Hopefully I can think of a few that aren’t kid’s songs but, sadly, most of them will probably be from Snacktime by the Barenaked Ladies! What a fun way to wrap up 2010 - with a set of pages that reflect what was going on this year. And there are prizes!

There is also a speed scrap tomorrow, December 2 at 9pm EST, with a kit as a participation prize.

Black Friday "Retail Therapy" Blog Train

I'm glad you joined me on this Thanksgiving Day here in the US. For others it's just a normal workday but for me it's a day to enjoy our extended family and relax while eating way too much. It's also a day to plan my crazy shopping for Black Friday. I'm not one that *has* to be at a certain place at a certain time on Black Friday. I can usually find a few things I'd like to have and if they are still around when I get there, I'll pick them up. It's more a fun time with my bff and a break from the boys. In the shopping vein then, here is a quick page made from the great DSDI collab Retail Therapy. There is a coupon included in the download good towards the purchase of this kit so be sure to keep your eye out for that! I absolutely love this kit - the colors rock and the elements are so much fun!





The blog hop actually started at the DSDI blog but if you didn't start there, here is the list to get you back on track. We are all in different parts of the world so be patient if someone doesn't have their stuff posted yet. Thanks again for stopping by and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Scrappers Give Thanks

There’s a fun campaign going on called Scrappers Give Thanks where scrappers are making cards that will be printed out and given to kids in hospitals. Fun huh? I went the silly joke route and here's what I came up with.

Okay, so I didn’t actually check that all the kits I used were S4H friendly. I’m just going with the assumption that the designers will be okay with me using their kits to make cards for kids in hospitals since I’m not making any money or anything. (please, please, please)

I used Scrappy Cocoa’s kit Under-Dogs for this first one.

I used Feeling Hungry by Wimpychompers for this one.

I used this cute kit by Mlle Heloise but she appears to be gone from digital scrapping so no luck for you if you like it!

I used Scrap to School a DSDI collab kit for this card. I’m an accountant so I especially like this one.

I used a freebie kit from Giggly Polka Dots called Ahoy Matey.

Well, that’s it. It was fun reading silly jokes though – I highly recommend it for a trip back down memory lane.

DSDI Daily Download

Okay, so I have been the suckiest blogger lately. Things are so busy - so many irons in different fires. But no matter, I have good news. It's time for the daily download over at Digi Scraps Drive-in and it's a great one. Marie of JK Creations is a new Pink Lady over there and she made a lovely kit called Playing in the Leaves. You can pick up the first part today - head to the Drive-by Freebies forum to see how. And if you are seeing this late and missed some, check out this thread to see how to get the missed parts. Hope you enjoy and I would love to see any layouts you make so make sure to post them in the galleries!
