Getting to Know A New Designer

So back in June we had the pleasure of having Simple Girl Scraps s a guest designer at SDD. Unfortunately I did not have an opportunity to work with her.  But I am so excited to share that she is now exclusively selling at SDD and I got an opportunity to work with one of her kits this month (hopefully I will have some more fun kits to share with you this month too).  I got to snag her kit, Wild Child, and boy was it fun to play with.  The colors and elements are so bright and playful and the wordarts are perfect!  Plus this month she is hosting the Bird Cage Challenge so you can pick up a mini kit add on for this kit absolutly free!  Check it Out!

I LOVE Grab Bags

I just love grab bags.  Even when they are revealed I always feel like a little kid as I unwrap (or unzipp) them and discover all of the goodies inside!  This week I got to to unwrap Partners in Crime's Personal Use Grab Bag 4!  This grab bag is packed full of some fun and exciting things.  First off there are three mini kits and each one is a must have in my book.  The first one I have played with is Backyard BBQ.  I will be using this kit again and again with all of my summer photos of my two guys grilling.  Check back soon as I share my layouts with the other great kits you can get in this grab bag!

A New Guest Designer

Good Morning Everyone!!  I have the great pleasure to work with this months Guest Designer at SDD, Cornelia Designs.  She has some fabulous items in her store that you will be sure to see some more posts this month featuring her products!!  Today though she released an exclusive template pack, her Calendar 2013 Templates, into the store and I had a chance to get to work with them.  Throughout the year in 2011 I worked on creating my 2012 calendar and each month I look forward to flipping to the next page and remembering the photos from the previous year that I had featured.  It is such a wonderful way to preserve your memories.  Well I hadn't had a chance to start working on my 2013 calendar yet and I had so much fun digging right into her templates and now have several months all ready to go!  Her templates make it super easy and I just love all of the blocking she used in them!

A New Designer & A New Freebie

Good Afternoon Everyone!  I hope that everyone has had a wonderful weekend.  I had the weekend off and enjoyed a trip to the zoo with the little man yesterday and then have spent the rest of the weekend catching up on things after a very busy week.  This month I have the pleasure of working with another one of our new designers at Scrappity-Doo-Dah, nandesign.  The first kit of his that I got to play with was Making Comics.  I must admit, it is a little different then the usual kits that I grab but was excited for the challenge.  Well I enjoyed the challenge far more then I could have expected.  His doodles are amazing and it makes the kit so much fun to play with.  I will be using this kit again for sure.  The first thing I made with this kit was a new Facebook Timeline Cover.  And guess what that means?  Yep, you guessed it, I have a new template for all of you.

So first off, lets take a look at Making Comics by nandesigns!  Check out those doodles!!

Dana's Foot Prints & More

I had the pleasure of working with The Tooth Fairy Was Here by Dana's Footprint Digital Design before it released and I had so much fun that I know that it will end up being one that I come back to again and again for some layouts. So I encourage everyone to go check out The Tooth Fairy Was Here by Dana’s Footprint. This kit is not only perfect for when your little one looses their first tooth (or their second or third) but also good for any photos you have of your little one brushing their teeth, visiting the dentest, or even just a great grin. I loved that it was so versitle as my little one is still a little too young to have had his first visit from the tooth fairy but boy do I have a lot of photos of him brushing his teeth!

Thank you for those who commented or messaged about the Facebook Timeline Cover.  I had so much fun making it and also love having the fun new cover on my Facebook page that I am eager to make another.  So keep your eyes peeled for a new template coming soon!
