Summer's a commin'!!!

June is just around the corner, and for many that means the end of the school year and the beginning of some summer fun!

We need some ideas! What are you summer plans? I have a little gift for you today made with Kristin's Bookworm kit and an alpha from Happy Go lucky, it is yours to download for free...but if you do: hehe...I am asking you to post your summer plans and maybe even a few suggestions for us!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE every single KCB kit! If I have to pick my absolute favorite kits though, they would definitely be Artists's Canvas, Bookworm and Good Morning Sunshine

What inspires you? Totally random things- things my kids do or say, a picture I've taken, a kit that I love, a scene in a movie, a song on the radio, the weather, etc.

how long have you been digicrapping? Since early 2005


any advice or secrets tips to share?? Don't be afraid of using patterned papers! ) I hardly ever scrap a layout without using at least one, but it took me a long time to figure out my love of them.

Here is a link to Sheana's gallery at the sweet shoppe! Please take a look thru all her inspiring layouts and leave Sheana some love!


Next is eranslow:

Brief Bio: My name is Erin and I am a 30 yr old part-time SAHM! I work in the evenings for a bank doing clerical stuff but during the day I stay home with my 2.5 yr old son. (which I love to do and can't wait until I don't have to work anymore!) I have been married to my dh for nearly 8 yrs and we live in the midwest.

What program you use? and what camera? I use CS5 - just switched over from CS2. And I use a point & shoot camera - A Sony Cyber-shot 12.1 megapixels. I dream of the day when I'll get a DSLR!


Must have items on your pages?
string and lots of paper. I'm a sucker for awesome background papers.

I LOVE all of Kristin's kits - but I think my favorites are Oh Snap!, Snowy Sidekick (I teach skating and my son is obsessed with hockey) and Bookworm. But truly - picking a favorite is hard because Kristin has so many awesome kits!

What inspires you? My son.

how long have you been digicrapping? A year this month! And I am totally hooked! I love digicrapping - so much cleaner then traditional!


any advice or secrets tips to share?? Scrap for you and only you. Also I have learned so much from all the tutorials out there. So check them out! They really help

Here is Erin's link to her gallery at the sweet shoppe, it is full of beautiful, inspiring layouts! Take a peek and leave some love!

Tropical Hideaway!

Here it is folks! Tropical Hideaway is Kristin's latest beauty. It was part of the Lift-a-Kit weekend at Sweet Shoppe Designs.

Use the papers as your foundation for gorgeous pages, topped with all manner of embellishments: wooden frames, leaves, grasses, beads, butterflies, fibers, buttons, flowers of all shapes and sizes, along with a neutral, versatile alpha. Take a virtual vacation...scrap your memories with 'Tropical Hideaway'! This is my take on Misty's fab "rainforest reverly" kit!



Look at some of the beautiful layouts made with this kit.

Some Hybrid Inspiration

Hi everyone. I'm so happy to be back here showing off some of the hybrid projects using Kristin's products. Some great inspiration abounds in the gallery. Just take a look at these projects.

Glynis made these lovely teacher's appreciation gifts using A Whimsical Garden.

And Angie made these cute hybrid flowers for the SSD Scrapper's Portfolio May Hybrid Challenge using Hot Diggity Dog, Kristin's recent collaboration with Melissa Bennett.


And finally Andrea made this adorable hybrid card using A Whimsical Garden.
