"Cousins"

Hello everyone! I'm back tonight with a scrapbook page! I haven't had much mojo for scrappin' lately, since I've been making so many cards, but my very good friend, Teresa , aka TeresaBelle Designs, has completed her newest kit and I was so excited to make a page with it! The kit is called "Everybody" and it is on sale right now in her shop at ScrapbookBytyes. The full kit is on sale for $3 (50% off), and the whole bundle ($20 worth of products) is on sale for $6 if you use the coupon code "everybody12".  Here is the kit:

And here is the page I made using it:

I love how my page turned out! And aren't those two good good lookin' fellas? The little one is my Zach, and the older one is my only nephew, Noah. Now that is a CRAZY pair! lol

I also used  "Block Templates" by Scrappin' With Liz. I love her stuff, too!

Oh! And lest we forget... there's only 15 days till Christmas! Do you like my page above? How about a QP freebie? Here ya go:

 Enjoy!

xoxo

 

Hold on Tight...

I've made another card I want to share with you!

I used another sketch from FridaySketchers, Challenge #129 (which I turned into a template that I will share as a freebie at the end of this post). If you haven't checked them out yet, you must! They have some very talented designers over there!

I also used an adorable stamp from Bugaboo Stamps to enter my card into their "Catch The Bug" Challenge. It's World Kindness Day and they are celebrating! We had to make a card in regards to being kind, ie; friendship, kindness, thinking of you. You get the idea. And here is my card:


And the inside:
I used "Sweet Pea" by TeresaBelle Designs for my papers and embellishments. I LOVE the color scheme in this kit!! Here's a look at that and the image is clickable to the kit in her store.

That's it for tonight. I better get to bed! Hubby says I have to go help him clean carpets tomorrow! FUN!! ;)

Oops! I almost forgot!! Here is that template I promised you. The image is clickable to download.

Onto other news... For the last 4 weeks I have been a part of Ellie's Angels Team over at DSA. Myself and 4 other team mates from Ellie's Creative Team have been competing in the Battle Of The Creative Teams. It's been a lot of fun, but it's also been very challenging. Each week we had to make a layout to meet that weeks specifications, which were very detailed! AND we were ONLY allowed to use things that were in our designers shop during the duration of the challenge. I want to share with you the pages that I made for each weeks challenge and a short summary of what the challenge was.
Week 1 - We all had to pick a "recipe" to work from and we had to have the same "equation" somewhere on our page. We chose "Kids+A Sunny Day=___" as our equation. Here is my page:

Week 2 - We had to pick a layout from 2 of our team mates galleries and make one page inspired by them both. We also had to choose, as a team, to use either Today, Tomorrow, or Yesterday in the title of our page. You can find the 2 pages I drew inspiration from here and here. Here is "Silly Bands":

Week 3 - This time we had to make a monochromatic page, and we all had to use the same color. We also had to choose to do a page either about ourselves or about our teammates. We chose pink and to do an "All About Me" page:

And week 4 - For this last page, it was all about 10's. We had to choose ten products from our designers store, with 2 of the kits being chosen as our "common" product. Meaning we all had to use the same 2 products, but not necessarily the same thing out of the product. Then we had to do a list of 10. A list of any kind, but it had to be written out as a list with the numbers 1-10. I decided to go with "Why I Love Digital Scrapbooking":
You can find all the kits I used in all 4 of these pages in Ellie's shop at Sunshine Studio Scraps!

I hope you enjoyed my pages as much as I enjoyed creating them! And since I am always so far behind in posting my pages here, you can always check out my gallery for yourself! You'll find LOTS of pages in my Flickr account that have not been posted here on my blog. Take your time and look around! I hope you like what you see! (I'll be adding this link to the sideline here on my blog, so you can access it whenever you like)

Thanks for visiting! Have a GREAT weekend!

Forget September...

Lol, it wan't a good month for me anyway. I hope it was better for you! My FM has had me down for WEEKS! I haven't felt this horrible in a long time, and with all the pain and exhaustion came a horrible depression. I'm calling my Dr. tomorrow to see if there's something else we can do. I also want to talk to her about my diagnosis. I have read a lot of information on Lupus lately, since a dear friend of mine has it, and we share very similar symptoms. Lupus is often mistakenly diagnosed as Fibromyalgia, so I'd just like to make sure. Please keep me in your prayers (I hate asking that, it sounds so selfish, but I really need it right now.)

Anyway, on to more pleasant news. I have been accepted onto a new CT! Well, let me clarify that. She doesn't exactly have a team yet, but she will be putting one together very soon. I just happen to love her stuff and asked her if I could work for her, and she said "Yes!" Never hurts to ask, huh? ;)
So, I now create for TeresaBelle Designs! She has a new kit out in her store called "A Little Fall" and it looks like this: (Click on the image to go directly to the store.)


I used that, along with one of her older kits, "Feel The Grunge":


And came up with this page, "Falling Leaves":

Remember, you can click my layout to view it full size.

I think it turned out really cool! I LOVE the photo I used for the blended background paper, but was never sure how I was going to be able to use it. "Feel The Grunge" made it work perfectly! Now, for some reason I'm not sure of, the page turned out a lot darker when I resized it for the web than the original was. If you have any ideas on how I can fix that, I'd love to hear it! Feel free to email me or just leave me a comment below! I LOVE getting your comments. It brightens my day!

I have managed to get a few other pages done, but I'll post those as I'm able, just highlighting the best ones, lol.

In other news... ;)
Our team over at Ellie's is participating in the BOTCTs (Battle of the Creative Teams) over at DSA. It runs for 1 month, and each week we are given very specific rules on making our next page. We have a certain amount of time to make our layouts as described in each challenge. Our first challenge is up and we have until Friday to complete it! I'll be back with a little more details on that and my page when I get it completed.

But for now, I must say Good Night! I'm hoping and praying for a restful night and to wake up in the morning miraculously painfree!! Our God is able! He is an Awesome God!
