creative explosion part deux

I have to share a story. In my house, it isn't a big secret that my daughter Sophie is a HUGE dessert and chocoholic fan. I mean... "how do they get this way" (I say as I cover the big piece of chocolate in my hand, and wipe the crumbs from my face) HAHA!! She comes home from school one day and proceeds to tell me, that when she is a mom... she is going to let her kids had dessert after EVERY meal, AND at least 3 pieces of candy a day. She's just going to be the COOLEST mom! (So I hear) The second thing she tells me is, "Is it fun to be a grown-up? I can't WAIT! Then I can drink pop whenever I want, eat snacks and go to bed as LATE as I want". "Yes hunny," is my response. "I just LOVE doing laundry and cleaning. Adult stuff IS SO MUCH FUN!!" "Oh." she says.

HAHA! Why do kids just want to grow up so badly? Slow down kiddo!!!

Now onto some more creative stuff. I wanted to share some layouts I've done recently. I think its weird how creativity can go in streaks. When I scrap, I seem to do just that. I'll pump out like 10-15layouts...then go dry for a week or so. Why is that?

Outline It

First of all, thank you to all of you who helped me to answer a few questions about yourself! It was very enlightening, and I've learned some great things about you. Such as, can you believe that half of you like shadowed elements and half do not? That's just cool to know! It least now I will put them in a separate folder, for those that like them. And those that don't...just just go ahead and delete those baby's!! And many of you had questions like which direction do I shadow...how I do it, etc. I'll try and see if I can put something together or make a tutorial about this. It was just ALL great information. SO thank you again. If some of you did not get a chance yet to participate, and you want a little prize at the end, click here. (hint: there's something good in there for ya!)

And on that note, let's take a look at this week's release! If you've been looking for something classic to add to your collection, then make sure you pick up Outlined Alpha! It will be the little black dress of your scrapping stash. Dress it up, dress it down, recolor it, embellish it, clip it to papers, or fill it in with color... the possibilities are endless!

Creative Explosion...

I love being apart of the digi-scrap community. Because unlike paper scrapping, it is so much easier and fun to share what we've accomplished scrapping too!! I know I've been a bad blogger and haven't shared for a little while...so get ready for a few pages.

First a few Disney layouts:

Make a Wish....

Happy Friday Everyone!
Have you all been enjoying the new designs up at The Lily Pad?
I have been having the best time there, getting to know everyone and it really is a great digi home away from home! I am so incredibly excited and inspired by all of the other designers there, and this week I was lucky enough to collaborate with Valorie Wibbens of Spotted Dog Designs. I have been lucky enough to be on her creative team, but this is the first time we've ever gotten to work together on a kit, and can I just say, I'm SUPER EXCITED by how it turned out. I sure hope you are as well.

This week's release is all about birthdays! Make a Wish and Birthday Word Art are both perfect for all of those major milestones. Whether your little one isn't so little anymore, your tween just became a teen, or you yourself have finally left your 20's (lol) behind, these items will help you tell your story with style and energy. Oh, and don't forget... New release products are 20% OFF throughout the weekend. Take a look!
