Team MLAS is in the house.......

Okay, so I told you that I was a part of team MLAS and we are participating in The Battle of the Creative Teams at Digiscrap Addicts. Well.....here is my week 1 submission. Our challenge was to create a page with white space and all five team members had to create LOs with the same color scheme. We went with Black and White, using a Black and White photo. We all did selective coloring on our photo and added a splash of green to make the LO pop. So...here's my week 1 LO.

I'd love to hear your comments! (If you click on the image it will take you to the gallery at DSA.) Better yet.....check out the Team MLAS thread here. My other team members have some amazing LOs. Click the image or the links in the thread to leave a little love in the gallery! And if you'd like to become a cheerleader for us.....check out this thread. If you like what you see we'd so appreciate your votes on Monday or Tuesday. (One vote per person, per category each week for 4 weeks).

Thanks for your support!

So I just had to stop in quick and give you an update on a couple of things. First, I've had the privilege of being asked to be on the Creative Team Battle Team for My Life and Scrap. www.digiscrapaddicts.com is hosting a Battle of the CT's! There are two catagories, designer teams and store CT teams. It's going on for the next 4 weeks. Each week we will be given a challenge and then each member of our team has to complete a LO for the challenge and post by Sunday evening. Then everyone has the chance to vote on their favorite LOs. I would so love and appreciate if you would be willing to come out and support me and my fellow MLAS team members, Mara, Grace, Jenniffer Marie, and Anne. We've been given our first challenge and you'll be able to vote all day Monday and Tuesday for this weeks challenge! Hope you'll come out and support us!

Okay for the other news....I had the pleasure this week to create a couple of layouts with the beautiful kit, Sweetest Thing. It was created by Janice's Scrap. She's a new designer in the New Designer Program at Stone Accents Studio. Here are two LO's I created with this amazing kit!

And here's a preview of her kit.

It's a really cute pocket organizer. Check it out and link me up to your versions of my project! I'd love to see them!

Come play along with me and you'll get a free mini kit of some of the items from Pretty Scrappy's July collab called Drama King.

I have some exciting news. Well, at least I think it's exciting. If you've noticed, I have a few more blinkies hanging out on the side of my blog. Over the last month I've had the honor of being invited to be on the CT's for 3 more fantastic designers: Colie's Corner, TMA Designs, and Laura Burger. Check out the LO's I did for each of the wonderful designers below.

So now...for the fun part...I get to share with you the layouts I created so far this month. All my designers and shops keep me hopping so I have a lot of LO's to share. So with no further ado...here they are!

The LO below was created with the absolutely beautiful kit called 4 A Moment by Designs by Laura Burger. You can pick it up here at www.gottapixel.net. I chose to make this a monochromatic LO, but her kit has some other beautiful colors in it as well.

Let's Go Bulldog's was created with the fantastic kit by Colie's Corner called Beyond A Dream. I love the colors and the variety of elements included. You can get here kit here at www.gottapixel.net.

TMA Designs has a gorgeous new kit called New Creation available here at www.faithsisters.com. It is a truely amazing kit. All the papers and elements are just beautiful.

All the wonderful designers at www.scrapable.net have collaborated on a new kit called Time to Get Away. It's a fantastic kit to use for all your vacation pictures (and non-vacation pictures too)! You can pick up this fantastic collab kit here.

Remember that Garden Sampler challenge I was telling you about earlier? Well here's my LO I created with the mini kit from the Drama King collab. This mini kit was created by designer ShareYourMoments. She created a fantastic mini kit. Everything you see on my LO is included. So come enter the challenge and get it for free! Just hop on over to www.prettyscrappy.com and pick it up!

I also created this LO using papers and elements from the full collab kit Drama King. You can pick it up here at www.prettyscrappy.com. This kit was made for all those LOs you need to do of the men in your life, from little boys to big boys!

Here are three LO's I did with the fabulous kit, Wonderful World by the fantastic Ettes at www.ettesandcompany.com. This is an absolutely huge kit! You won't be disappointed! Check it out here. It's so versatile, it can be used for many different themes.

Well, that's what I've been up to for the first 10 days of July...but I've got lots more to do so I better get a crackin! And I've got some projects to get done before our son's wedding in September and before our daughter-in-law delivers our first grandchild in October. It's a boy!! Can't wait to see our little Aiden once he arrives into this world. So lots of excitement coming up for us this fall, can't wait to share with you all. Hope your all enjoying your summer (or winter for our friends down under)! Thanks again for taking the time to visit my blog and I'll be back soon. You never know what kind of surprises I might be able to conjur up by then.

Take care and happy scrappin'

Need a lift?....

Well....a scraplift actually. I'm hosting the scraplift challenge for the first half of July over at http://www.mylifeandscrap.com/. Here's a little ad telling you about it.

And here's my interpretation of the lift.

My layout and the ad were created using the gorgeous kit, Lemonberry Fizz by Kimi's Kreations, available here at MLAS.
