Monkey-ing Around Blog Train LO

Way back at the beginning of this month (seems like forever ago!!) I posted about the Monkey-ing Around Blog train.  Well that was also when I was accepted onto IDBC's CT and I showed you all the kit she had made for the Blog Train!  I have finally made a layout using her Monkey-ing Around Blog Train 2011 contribution as well as her #1 Daddy kit!

I did this LO as part of the June Challenges over at Sunshine Studio Scraps.  This LO was for the Guided Impressions challenge where you are given a template and challenged to make it your own!  Here's what the template looks like:

Another Expecting: A Boy Kit LO!

Well clearly I am enjoying scrapping with Inspired Designs by Crystal's products!  I couldn't help myself; I just had to do another LO with this Expecting: A Boy Kit!  I honestly should do an album of my now 3 month old little guy with this kit but I have a hard time doing whole albums!!

So I found this super cute picture of my little brother when he was about 3 years old.  It was so adorable with him flexing and showing off his muscles!  lol!!  I just had to scrap this picture!

June Color Splash LO

Over at Sunshine Studio Scraps they do a monthly Color Splash.  The designers get a color scheme that they all use when creating their kits.  This is such a fun idea because you can purchase several different kits and mix and match almost like a mega kit.

The month of June is nice and sunny; filled with lots of water photos and outdoor fun!  That's why it only makes sense to have some bright primary colors to work with!  Here is what Crystal designed:

And of course you can't forget the matching word art!!

Go to Crystal's blog, Inspired Designs By Crystal, to get inspired by the amazing Creative Team that she has!  But for now take a look at my creation using this Summer Lovin kit!

Happy Scrapping!

First CT work for Inspired Designs and Freebies!!

So last week I got to do my first CT work for Inspired Designs by Crystal!  I was so excited to get to work with her product and was anxiously awaiting to see the new kits she would have her new CT gals work on.  As I have mentioned before on my blog, I have a new baby boy (11 weeks old now!!) so I was even more excited when I found out Crystals 2 newest kits have a baby theme!  I love the colors, the patterned papers, the embellishments...pretty much everything about these kits!!

I also have to say that Crystal has an amazing Creative Team!!  I am SO inspired by their LO's and the use of Crystal's product!  I found myself looking at their work thinking "Wow, I would have never thought of doing that"!  I'm looking forward to working with the CT gals and Crystal and seeing what else they create!!

So anyways onto the kits...
Crystal's product can be purchased at Sunshine Studio Scraps!

Blog Train & Other Great News!!

First of all...

Those of you who frequent Digishoptalk.com may be familiar with the Blog Train!!  But for those of you who haven't been to DST let me explain...

Every other month DST asks digi designers if they'd like to make a mini kit based upon a particular theme and color scheme.  Around 100 designers participate by making their mini kit available at the first of the month.  You (the lucky down loader) get on the train and start down loading away.  You get to check out each person's blog AND you get an amazing HUMONGOUS kit...for FREE!!

This month's theme is Monkeying Around and I've just gotten off of this awesome blog train!!

If you want to check it out (train's taking passengers for the whole month!!!) you can check out The Blog Train Blog.  I'm so excited to see what the designers come up with in August for the next blog train!!


And in other GREAT news...

I just got accepted as a member of a new Creative Team!!  I am so excited to be a part of Inspired Designs by Crystal!  I can't wait to begin showing off her amazing kits (and word art!! WOO HOO)!!

In fact you can find Crystal's work on this months blog train!  Here's what she came up with and a link to her Blog where you can check out the rest of her creations!
