Big Girl Bed

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I've joined the creative team of Jady Day Studio! I adore Yari and her designs and they've recently helped to get me back into scrapping. In fact, here's a layout I did yesterday with Yari's latest collab with Kay Miller: A Girl's Life.

Welcome to my new Creative Team members!

I want to thank everyone who applied to my CT call. You certainly didn't make my decision very easy. There is so much talent out there, I was overwhelmed! Everyone should have received a response from me.

But I did finally narrow it down to 10 (ten?!?) new team members to join my already fabulous team. Please help me welcome....


I look forward to working with all of you!

Sharing Some More Layouts

I've been busy trying to get some scrapping in so that I can finally finish book 2 of 2010 and get it printed! Just a few more to go, but thought I'd share some recent layouts I've done. (a few are from 2011.)

Uses Love Grows Here by By Becca and a mask from Gypsy Chick.


Uses my kit Authentic which I'll be bringing to SM next month.

Uses my kit Beautiful Life, also coming to SM next month.

My kit, School Zone, coming to SM on Friday!

Uses Summertime Fun-Backyard Play by Jady Day Studio (who I adore!)

Uses Chick Flick by Kristin Cronin-Barrow and Jenn Barrette (trying to get through my stash!)

Uses Joyeux Noel by Stolen Moments and By Becca

Uses Pops by Allison Pennington

Uses In My Own Backyard by Allison Pennington

Uses A Little Help From My Friends collab, various designers

There you have it. Most of them pretty simple, but I have to say it does feel good to scrap again! I look forward to doing more soon!

Sunshine uses Oh Happy Day by Erica Zane and Jenn Barrette
Time to Swim uses Summertime Fun: Hitting the Waves by Jady Day Studio

Sunshine uses Sunshine on a Stem by Krystal Hartley
