Lost in a Book

I've got a new kit out this week called Lost in a Book. We love reading and I have tons of pictures of my husband or mom reading to the kids.   Recently though, I noticed a trend - I noticed that I was getting a collection of photos of my oldest daughter reading in the strangest positions!!  She LOVES to read, but she is 8 years old and so while her attention is totally captured by the current book - her 8 year old body can't sit still.... LOL - you will have to check out my LO's below that feature her to believe some of the places I've found her!!  This kit is for the book lover in your life - whether it's yourself or a loved one who can't get enough!  You can grab this kit at STS or at the Studio

Some inspiration from my CT - and from me - yes that is my daughter reading upside down - balanced on her head and feet with her bum in the air.....

And a fun little freebie for you - snag this fun cluster for a quick and easy layout!   Click the image to download.

Happy Scrapping!!

Scrapping Sunday

I'm busy scrapping - and wanted to show off a bit!

For this layout i used a fun new kit from Two Moose Designs - I love this kit - I would consider myself active - but apparently I have no pictures of myself being active, since i had to resort to scrapping my cute little girl with it.... LOL - well - maybe pictures of me being active would be bad - I'm one of those people who get all red and sweaty and gross when they work out...

This gorgeous kit is from LouCee Creations - LOL - yes I'm just now getting to Easter.... 

 I snagged this kit at the Christmas in July Event over at the Studio - I'm finally getting around to scrapping some of the snow pictures from last winter and so the sale was perfect timing for me!

I found this adorable kit at Stuff to Scrap and fell in love with it!!  I had tons of fun using it for this cute LO of my little boy and will totally use it again!!

July Quote Challenge at the Studio

Come join me for the Quote Challenge over at the Studio!  I've got a great summer song for scrapping your summer layouts!  Also - some fun word art - free for July only - come join me!

Here's the layout I did.  Living in Colorado, we don't spend a lot of time at the beach - but we do spend a lot of time out in the sun!!!!

My kids have a couple of computer geek parents and so they love their video games - my oldest son especially loves Angry Birds - he loves it so much that we got him Angry Birds on Dan's iPad for his birthday, and if we let him, he would play it all day.  This kit was made for scrapping all those pics - I also got him an Angry Birds Hot Wheels Christmas present, and I needed something to scrap them with!

Here's some inspiration to get you scrapping!  

And a little freebie for you!
