I must be in Heaven, or maybe it is Cloud 9?


Kristin must have done some holiday snuggling or something. Because she gave us this sweet Valentine-ish kit this week. The vibrant red and the soothing turquoise combination are perfect for your "I love you" pages. Here! Take a look!

Warm up with this fun challenge!

Well I think everyone in North America would venture to say that this has been a hard winter and it's only January. I think people need some warming up, wouldn't you say? So a simple, quick post and challenge for you on this cold Friday...

Make a layout with the theme "What warms my heart", using KCB's products and come back and post a link to the layout. The winner gets a GC to Kristin's store, and I'll select a winner in one week.

Have a great weekend!

Write With Me - January's challenge!

I'm ba-a-a-ack! Monique here back with this month's journaling challenge!

This month I would like to challenge you to...

Swap a photo from a template or scraplift inspiration for a journaling space.

This is something I love doing. I love using templates and scraplifts as jumping off points to get my layouts going (otherwise I spend days working on just one layout). I'll pick a template that requires one more photo than what I was planning on using, and use one of the spaces for journaling.

It's also another way of getting more out of your templates :-)

Here's a recent layout I creating doing just this, the journaling card was supposed to be a large photo...


Layout created using SSD's Potluck Collab
(Kristin made the journaling card!)
for full credits:

I'll be back next week with my own template to help you along with this one ;-)

See you then!

Wednesday's Spotlight!!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Todays CT spotlight is on Kjersti! You can find her gallery here! I asked Kjersti to give us a few random facts about herself and here is what she had to say!

My name is Kjersti and I'm from sunny California. I'm a stay at home mom to two busy girls ages 9 and 5. I started digitally scrapping in June and I'm totally in love with it! My camera is a Nikon D3 and the lens that I use the most is my 24-70mm. It pretty much stays on my camera all the time! I create my layouts using Adobe CS3. I usually create layouts at night and have a big bag of popcorn and large Diet Pepsi by my laptop! My favorite KCB kit is Daydream Believer. I have three must have items on my layouts...buttons, ribbons, and flowers!!!




Here are some of her recent Layouts, beautiful as ever!!

Cousins together again:

What a Great Start to the New Year!!!

Good morning everyone! Kiki here, and am I excited this morning. As I was telling Kristin last night, I didn't think I would last until midnight and I didn't. It's getting harder and harder to burn the midnight oil, but I really wanted to stay up. To watch the ball drop? Heck no! To get the scoop on SSD's new Scrapper's Portfolio Challenges, that's what!! They have totally rocked the challenge world with their new portfolio and I for one cannot wait to get started! You have to check it out and join me in the January challenges.

Now, of course most people think of New Year, New Resolutions. I'm not really one to resolve to do anything over the period of a year. I'm too attention-deficit for that. Hey, at least I admit it. But I am going to try and accomplish a couple projects this year. What about you? I'm going to try and get a completed Book of Me done and printed. I'm also going to make a point of scrapping our everyday lives here in a way that documents the coming year. Tell me what you are planning to do as a project? Project 365 maybe? Maybe project 52 is enough for you? How about an Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life? Book of Me?

Well, can't wait to get started on those challenges that they posted at the SSD forum, so I'm off. You know I'll be doing lots of those challenges with Kristin's goodies. I adore her style and the flexibility of her kits. Hope to see you posting your challenges, and can't wait to read the comments to see what kinds of projects you will all be doing this year. Maybe you'll inspire me to take on one more project.

In the meantime, here's some of the latest eye candy from Kristin's team that might inspire you.
