Template Challenges GALORE

Hi everyone. Today has been a long day. Both kids are sick with a virus, both running temps over 100, and both cranky as can be. Not to mention that they both want Mommy which makes for a long day. I was soooo close to weaning Cayden completely, and now we're back to phase 1. But when all he'll do is nurse, I'm so thankful that I'm still nursing.


Anyway, I am the host of 4 template challenges for January for 4 different sites. I'm sooo excited, and have been soooo busy this evening attempting to get the challenges up and ready to roll. There are four completely different templates, 1 at each site. I've been hosting the template challenges at SZ, BBSD, and KJOI for some time now, but I've added SFS to the mix. Of course, I'm still learning that site, so when I figure out where to upload the actual zip files, I'll post a link back here reminding you to go and play with the template there as well.

The template and my LO for the challenge at SZ look like this:

The kit I used for my LO is Pretty Flowers by CanDesigns. And this is actually a QP that I created. The little girl in the picture is Nickie's and Joel's eldest daughter, Lexi, at Hannah's birthday party in August. She's such a cutie and turns two years old in 2 weeks! If you want to play along in this Template Challenge, go here and read all the rules and how to get the template.


The template and LO that I created for BBSD are here:


Again, I used Pretty Flowers by CanDesigns for this LO and turned it into a QP as well. This is a photo of Aunt Debbie that Uncle Kenny took earlier this week. You can learn all about how to play along with this template here.

This will be my second month hosting the template challenge at KJOI Studios. I have not created a LO with the template I made for this particular challenge. I cannot wait to play with this template. You can go here if you want to play along with this template.

And lastly, I am hosting the first ever template challenge at Scrappin' Freestyle. I have the template created but I do not know where I should upload it to start the challenge, so all I can do is share the template preview with you. This is another template that I cannot WAIT to create a layout with (<-- I know that's bad grammar, but it's sooo late). Anyway here's the preview. If you want to play along with this template, click hereI created my LO using Miss Michaela by Becki Kress. It's available at Color Line Designs. This kit is PERFECT for LOs with little girls. Just look at how awesome it matches the girls' shirts in the photo I used. The template was created by me. I used some actions by Atomic Cupcake to help with the torn and folder papers.

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Wild Wednesday Freebies and SZ CT Call

Okay, since I'm so proud that we've nearly completed the rennovations to our guest bathroom (see my family blog for more of those details), I am sharing two freebie templates with you. The first template is a Christmas Card (from my soon to be in stores Christmas Card Template Collection) and the second is a sample from my soon to be in stores Mega Pack #2. I LOVE this template. It is soooo cute. . . even though it's a Christmas Sketch.

This LO was created with one of my Christmas Kits, Christmas Joy.

And a LO using it:

This LO was created the SFS Element Team December Kit, Holiday Wishes. I just LOVE this kit and think this sketch is soooo adorable and very unique. I love how the little pictures are like ornaments on the tree!

To pick up these templates, click here

And finally, I have made this adorable LO for two different challenges. The first challenge is the Template Challenge at Stone Access Studios. And the Inspirations Challenge at K-JOI Studios. I used Karla Marano's Autumn Abundance Kit for this LO! It's GORGEOUS!

And now, the designers at Scrapper's Zone are looking for a store-wide CT. Please read the ad below and email us if you are interested in applying:

Eliminated and Special Kit

I've been eliminated from the Just for the Scrap of It contest. I'm really okay with it. I haven't even been online since early Tuesday because I started to run a temperature of 101+. Went to the doctor today. I have strep throat. Yup. Yuck. Ow. My throat hurts so much. Even with the gooey stuff I have to gargle to help with pain. It's not helping. I think I may take some tylenol and go to bed.


I have completed a new kit though. And I'm going to go ahead and use the Round Three theme to create a new kit as well.


And I'm now selling in 3 stores, a designer assistant at one store, and on the Element Team for another forum. I'm so excited. I'm lovin' this.


My Stores: ScrappersZone, BusyBeeScrapper Designs, and KJOI Studios.

I'm Sandra (aka SeAscrAps) Designer Assistant over at Digital Candy

And I'm on the Element Team at ScrappinFreeStyle


So, I'm pretty busy. Okay, on to my new stuff. I'm almost down with my brag book collection number 2. I'm working on a Christmas Card Template Collection.

I've finished my most personal kit, With Love for Elise. This is a scrapbooking kit created in memory of my niece, Elise, who was born still last October. I created a memory book for my sister and with her permission have created a scrapbook kit complete with papers, ribbons, word art, and quickpage templates of a memory book. I cannot wait to share it with the world. I'm working on some finishing touches. With this kit, the profits made on the sales will be given to Silent Grief, a place where you can receive support for all who have suffered miscarriage, stillbirth, and later child loss.




It is not for sale yet, I will get it up in my stores ASAP!!








And now, a few new LOs. The first two were created using my Kids in the Kitchen Kit available at my stores :)

This one was created with Little Boy by Sarah Designs available at HotSpotScraps and ScrapWorld
