And. . have you seen the latest Mega Kit from the Designers at Scrapper's Zone? It's AMAZING. A kit called Doctor, Doctor that will help you scrap those LOs of those doctor's visits and illnesses, maternity and trips to the dentist.

This kit has everything you might want to scrap a layout about anything to do with the health care industry. This kit is the product of 21 designers working together with a color swatch and a theme. You will be amazed at the amount of material included in this kit. There are too many files to count, but you can be sure there will be more than enough to suit your needs.
And only in January can you purchase this kit for the amazing price of $9.99

Here's a preview of my part of the collaboration:

And here's a quick preview of the entire kit:

Hurry on over to SZ and purchase this fantastic kit!!!

Okay, I'm exhausted, have a headache, and childless for the time being. . going to talk Stephen into some supper!

New Year's Eve LOs

So this NYE was not much fun for us. We were supposed to go out to a friend's house and spend some adult time away from the kids, but Hannah got was running a fever, so we spent the evening at home. We do have a NYE tradition that we've been doing since Hannah was born and that's going to the Zilker Tree and spinning around underneath it. Stephen and I decided that although the kids weren't feeling 100%, it would be okay to go out to the tree and let them spin around and get a photo or two. So we gave Hannah some Motrin and loaded up into the car. We spent about 15 minutes at the Tree instead of the 30-45 minutes that we usually spend, but the kids had a good time, and we got our family photo!

Here are a few LOs that I created from the evening.

For full credits, click on the layouts.

And of course, after the kids went to bed, Stephen and I spent some time together (at separate computers. . . hahaha). I joined in the DST NYE Celebrations and he played WoW. I know, really romantic. Anyway, before drifting off to dreamland around 1 am, we did (okay, I INSISTED) on snapping a few self portraits of us. I think Stephen was already asleep before I took these photos (he is NOT intoxicated. . . LOL).

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!!!

A few new LOs

I know I should be scrappin' Christmas pictures, but I just cannot get motivated. I'm dealing with two cranky children, PMS, and just the blahs. But I did get a couple LOs done today and I want to share the calendars that I made with everyone. The calendars were a lot of fun to create. There are two different versions of the photo calendars. One for the grandparents and then one for my sister. In her calendar, I included photos of her godson, Cade. The calendars were a big hit, especially Heather's. She and Eddie were totally surprised to find photos of all three of their "kiddos" in the album.

I think I failed to announce that I have been invited to serve on the CT for the scrap site Color Line Design. I ran across a template by Kellie Puddy and created a LO. She spotted the LO at DST and actually RAK'ed me with a $10 coupon to the CLD store. I absolutely fell in love with the designers there and am now serving on the Creative Team as a CLD Babe. I've been having fun creating LOs using the kits from August Designs and BooLand Designs. Here are my newest LOs using some products from CLD.

These two LOs were created using Selena's Treasure by BooLand Designs. This is a QuickPage Album featuring 9 inspirational quotes. I love the two pages I chose to create LOs with. And the photos that Uncle Kenny took this past spring and summer were the perfect fit for the softness of the pages.
This LO was created using Cars Go Beep, Beep by August Designs. This kit is just so adorable. The template I used is from my Sketch Template Mega Pack 2 which you can pick up at at SZ or KJOI at 40% off until the 4th! That's 30 sketches for $6.00!!!

And I created this LO for one of my Creative Teams, CanDesigns. This kit is one of her latest kits. She calls it Pretty Flowers and it is absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait to scrap Spring photos using this kit. . . of course, I REALLY need to print out my LOs before I keep creating more and more. . .I'm getting soooo behind. AHHHH. Anyway, I just can't stop myself. I also used another template from my Sketch Template Mega Pack 2

And lastly, this is a LO I created for the Hawt Mama Blog End of Year LO Contest. I haven't scrapped Hannah's year in review, but here is Caydens. I used the template provided at the blog and April's Child from SeAScrApS's Month Child Series for the kit of my choice. I don't know if they will think it's a winner, but I certainly do.

Journaling reads: Have you really been in my life for 21 months? Where has the time gone? I am still in disbelief that we are about to say goodbye to 2007 and all it has brought to us. Watching you grow over the past twelve months has been amazing. At the beginning of the year, you were not even crawling and now you are climbing! You are definitely a little boy and a lot more physical than you sister ever was! You keep us on our toes to say the least. I have enjoyed being mommy to my sweet boy. It makes me feel special to hear you say, "Want Mommy." And to hear you say, "Love you, Mommy" is music to my ears. You've gone through many changes this year and have grown so much. But there are two things that haven't changed over the past twelve months. And those are your big blue eyes and your sweet disposition. I love you.

NEW Sketch Template Mega Pack, RoseMcDigital Designs TOUs AND 2008 Calendar Pages

I have a new Sketch Template Mega Pack in my stores now. The second round of my sketch templates is finally here in a Mega Pack. This is ANOTHER collection of my famous Sketch Templates saved as layered PSD files. Once again these templates can be used together to create two page layouts or on their own to scrap that perfect page! Using templates will cut your scrapping time in half allowing you to preserve more memories at one time and that makes me HAPPY! Here's a preview:

You can pick this up at SZ or KJOI at 40% off until the 4th! Happy Scrappin' That's 30 sketches for $6.00!!!





I have decided that I am so tired of all the confusing TOU out there with digital scrapbook products. I am guilty of having a very nonspecific TOU in my products, but not anymore. ALL my products are now available as Scrap for Hire (S4O). If you want to purchase my items and use them to create a scrapbook for someone else, go for it. Until recently, I had no idea that doing that was wrong. I have never done scrap for hire, but I have been asked by several to do so, so now that I know I have to be careful with what I use in those projects, I want to make scrapping as easy for the digiscrapper as it can be. My items are not for commercial use, meaning, I do not want someone else to use my items to make $$ in the digital world. But in the printable world, go for it!!!

I am now following the STOUI graphics which should make things so much easier.

Just thought I'd let y'all know. You will find the key for my TOU under my designer blinkies!

Here are the calendars that I created for the grandparents and my sister this Christmas. There are a few months with two pages because Heather's calendar includes pictures of Cade. I think they were all pretty pleased!
