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.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=41579"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359827884043065570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNvVKy9BLeCludfqaPeCA-w-4VmHFzB3zBxMXypMwO_KhcMSP2T-qEKz8AIBVrJdMuBoMOcuXhqpc0D-J7P2zW_NKqqtkw3DyvT3y8u_7grwWjdjFVU3mkc_3t4DMGvRzirpuvgcDG_A/s400/Summer-Treat-The-Left-Overs.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p>I'd love to hear your comments!

And check out this new designer!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. <a href="http://www.digiscrapaddicts.com/">www.digiscrapaddicts.com</a> 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!

I thought is was kind of appropriate for this post since I have alot of good news.....a little bit of bad....and actually no ugly (unless you want to count my numerous ugly hair days - but my dear daughter fixed that today - so I'm all good to go!)<br /><br /><br />So lets start with the good news. There's so much I 'm not sure where to start.<br /><ol><li>I'm starting a new job tomorrow. That's really exciting but a little nervous about it as well. I'm a business analyst by profession and this role will require me to be a project manager as well. So that's a little scary...but I'll get it eventually. </li><br /><li>I was selected by JuliaDesigns to create a couple of layouts with her beautiful kit, A Perfect Day. That was so much fun and exciting to have a chance to work with a different designers kit. All the wonderful designers out there have their own style so it's fun to see what I can do with them. I have my LOs posted below.</li><br /><li>Did you notice some changes to the blinkies I have displayed here on my blog? <a href="http://www,prettyscrappy.com/">Pretty Scrappy </a>has accepted me on their site CT team! I'm so excited to get started. They have a bunch of really wonderful designers there. I have a layout below that will give you a sampling of the wonderful kits available there.</li><br /><li>During May, <a href="http://www.scrapable.net/">Scrapable</a> and <a href="http://www.mylifeandscrap.com/">My Life and Scrap</a> were a part of Creative Team Appreciation week. A whole bunch of designers got together and created a super mega kit for their creative team members and then they had some really fun challenges. It was a blast and I have some layouts below that I created using the awesome kit they provided us. Thank you so much to all the designers and stores who participated! It always feels good to know that you are appreciated.</li></ol><p>Wow, that was a lot of good news....but.....now here's the bad news. Due to Digital Candy closing their store, Calalily Designs has decided to take a break from designing. So I won't be able to feature anymore of her wonderful designs here. I also won't be creating for Been There Scrapped That any longer. So that's why I'm jumping for joy to have the chance to be on the CT for Pretty Scrappy. I know I'll be able to come up with some really great LO with the kits by all the wonderful designers there! </p><p>Okay...so enough chit chat...here's some inspiration from some of the wonderful kits I had the opportunity to work with during the month of May!</p><p>These first 6 I created from the awesome My CT Rocks kit that all the designers put together for Creative Team Appreciation Week. Thanks again ladies!</p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixS-3Ny0ShghjeUD_VoIR7m45oHD90bleOVU2iE1qaNA22df7J324ZIanOadBEA-ucMnL9nmFh-zhsVoTCh9LEQi57pu6HTDWcbJgKQ_ewGN4NtfHwjJQKz-ju59XyLwrU5ksxcJ_sUw/s1600-h/Your-smile-makes....jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342194589336101666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixS-3Ny0ShghjeUD_VoIR7m45oHD90bleOVU2iE1qaNA22df7J324ZIanOadBEA-ucMnL9nmFh-zhsVoTCh9LEQi57pu6HTDWcbJgKQ_ewGN4NtfHwjJQKz-ju59XyLwrU5ksxcJ_sUw/s400/Your-smile-makes....jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Ld7K2hgYfh4k5ttpS0prAmtuOGsjpTFQLt0mavB2MohBO4OpgxBOS0XfK1o45xzebw63BR6X7-Q6Hp8L83TWRbDGaZBifkNVGTVjMaXHnRZ12cFTwfBkY7LMU8HWAw3uercmVQo8GQ/s1600-h/You-Rock!.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342194438949035186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9Ld7K2hgYfh4k5ttpS0prAmtuOGsjpTFQLt0mavB2MohBO4OpgxBOS0XfK1o45xzebw63BR6X7-Q6Hp8L83TWRbDGaZBifkNVGTVjMaXHnRZ12cFTwfBkY7LMU8HWAw3uercmVQo8GQ/s400/You-Rock!.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmbPCl5f5b8UL8D0q9wN9Yl4ewgMHpM-tsYmzDzKIknYiLa6GmVxg58NdnMAmWM1aLyMtgpyfHqMaFM35OtfZlJVyTuiq_zAs9PoBTCdQPE9p0SNN-5d3QRziwbbaDN87XIm0D7PhcxQ/s1600-h/You-are-my-rockstar.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342194434592717026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmbPCl5f5b8UL8D0q9wN9Yl4ewgMHpM-tsYmzDzKIknYiLa6GmVxg58NdnMAmWM1aLyMtgpyfHqMaFM35OtfZlJVyTuiq_zAs9PoBTCdQPE9p0SNN-5d3QRziwbbaDN87XIm0D7PhcxQ/s400/You-are-my-rockstar.jpg" border="0" /></a> This LO below has to be one of my all time favorites that I've done so far!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXacS5BVsb7Xl-cAqLX8lNvgMdVM_u-dfZV8B8D82ZUvgrRFsULKddptbV7YQXgdsdwSePMN8knkIp789mTONWV6q4mMFuWNBATVbG3RtuNU5Cwf6k10PW4grq-XbEIApwykqgfzh3rw/s1600-h/U-Rock-My-World.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342194428559999890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXacS5BVsb7Xl-cAqLX8lNvgMdVM_u-dfZV8B8D82ZUvgrRFsULKddptbV7YQXgdsdwSePMN8knkIp789mTONWV6q4mMFuWNBATVbG3RtuNU5Cwf6k10PW4grq-XbEIApwykqgfzh3rw/s400/U-Rock-My-World.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqk4sGJR6cFt6Sf8fBWPL3oPGca08xmO8QQsxEtep5G44CM5pX3mDXRLGys3QFsF9mXREFl1bHTKprQ06gH16WX79GCR-LZXB3N4I0W5VHCMASRGFY1gS3tH3QL8fWAB49zevjWZwx9w/s1600-h/Shanghai-Smokes.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342194431271774706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqk4sGJR6cFt6Sf8fBWPL3oPGca08xmO8QQsxEtep5G44CM5pX3mDXRLGys3QFsF9mXREFl1bHTKprQ06gH16WX79GCR-LZXB3N4I0W5VHCMASRGFY1gS3tH3QL8fWAB49zevjWZwx9w/s400/Shanghai-Smokes.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXG8PjOfsm6KXe-Y5lM13hYU4ALDViPsJ-MK7tZXyXKSr6Ndsy_ISxGHUzbiCuhKAwJAfBKshC0NoM8iizCyUD00oFaP9iLjShR6nnVosLV3OO1RQ-0h8JYxIuQUts37KQ0_ddf4UH1Q/s1600-h/A-Sisters-Love.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342194425262966402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXG8PjOfsm6KXe-Y5lM13hYU4ALDViPsJ-MK7tZXyXKSr6Ndsy_ISxGHUzbiCuhKAwJAfBKshC0NoM8iizCyUD00oFaP9iLjShR6nnVosLV3OO1RQ-0h8JYxIuQUts37KQ0_ddf4UH1Q/s400/A-Sisters-Love.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />And you know me.....gotta love the <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/">Ettes & Company</a>!

And in the midst of it all I'm trying to wrap up my current job (my last day is Friday) and gear up for the new job I'll start on Monday. But just so you know.....I've been a buzy beaver creating lots of LOs and I will be back this weekend to add a post to showcase some of the great kits I've had the opportunity to work with the last couple of weeks. So have a good rest of the week (we're getting close to Friday! woohoo!) and I'll be back this weekend with more news and LOs to show you what I've been up to!dweberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14258888020639292208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473028330389560709.post-85420869815639187402009-05-01T20:50:00.012-05:002009-05-28T00:52:32.538-05:00Let the Festivities Begin......That's right.....(Inter) National Scrapbook Day festivities have finally arrived! There's so much going on and so much I have to tell you so let's begin with one of my favorites. As I'm sure you're all aware, I am a huge fan of <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/">Ettes & Company</a>. I was so excited when I found out that they were going to allow me to create a quick page to give away for FREE during the NSD festivities. Here it is! It was created using one of the 3 (yes that's right! 3) new kits that were just added to the Ettes store this week! This kit is called Magical Memories. It really is magical what you can do with it! I hope you like it! Just click here to download the FREE file!

It's such a fabulous kit! I'm sure you could create some fabulous pages about those tall, dark, and handsome men in your life! Here's some inspiration. I created these layouts using the kit. Every LO I created made me like the kit more and more.<br /><br />This first LO is a picture of my husband and son at our son's wedding last summer. Aren't they handsome all spiffed up!<br /><br /><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrkDVtJFJ7Qn_AcysPG4ko20KKCrK9eUPJU2gusPnfkSdNhwH2lejFl88yY-m0tAC0fIn__Mb6mZ4Y8dgJQwl-2piTgduPuQE84PL_iFP-LyvOkLzCBDnOFOjuiopPagTjjgy6qXrh4w/s1600-h/Just-Father-and-Son.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325870900461724034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrkDVtJFJ7Qn_AcysPG4ko20KKCrK9eUPJU2gusPnfkSdNhwH2lejFl88yY-m0tAC0fIn__Mb6mZ4Y8dgJQwl-2piTgduPuQE84PL_iFP-LyvOkLzCBDnOFOjuiopPagTjjgy6qXrh4w/s320/Just-Father-and-Son.jpg" border="0" /></a> This next LO shows just how versatile their collection is. Although the theme of my LO has nothing to do with being tall, dark or handsome, it worked perfectly for this picture of the memory flowers on the alter at our son's wedding. The flowers were put there in rememberance of all our dear family members who are no longer here to spend these special moments with us.</div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325870902025657154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPKI1Gbn4w-lNSPCK9trIPJc6OvywK5rhqf-aY8pDFmMjiGK7P6eNrYDn58DULlMJJbMc3r2hYvbCLb14LSUFaZZCjfZ9BPdi5pkyF0i9h3to2n0KMURX-y9aBZfLkKPIK2O6aJmGcdg/s320/Remembrance.jpg" border="0" />I was even able to create this heritage LO with the collection.

But so much excitement has happened in the last few weeks I don't know where to begin! As I told you in the last post, I've joined a couple other creative teams. Since that post I've been invited to be on two more creative teams! <a href="http://www.beentherescrappedthat.com/">http://www.beentherescrappedthat.com</a> and <a href="http://www.digitalcandy.us/">Calalily Designs </a>. How amazing is that....who would have known 9 months ago when I decide to give digital scrapbooking a try that I would have the honor of being on 5 great teams! I'm so excited but very busy getting myself organized and a system in place to get it all done! So much for procrastination....that's now out the door. Organize, organize, organize....that's my new mantra! (Some day I'll be brave enough to actually post some photos of my not so organized craft room and you'll understand!)<br /></div><div>Oh...there was one other exciting thing that happened too... My First Egg Hunt layout (created with the <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=101">Blue Skies Collection from Ettes & Company</a>), was featured in the current issue (Issue 6) of The Daily Scrapper! You can check it out <a href="http://thedailyscrapper.com/">here</a>. It will be featured until April 10th.<br /></div><div>Anyway....on to the fun stuff. Here's some inspiration from all the wonderful kits I've had the opportunity to work with the last couple of weeks.<br /></div><div>I made this wedding planner for my future daughter in law using the <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=96">Be My Guest Collection</a> from Ettes and Company. What a great wedding collection they've created!</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320956089995226226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEJiThyi5CB1_gkHRjFTB3xxwW8cFNvucK9jVYkh0Gb_1pn9b9gppM9vmKPcwovNHTUAV1HBU6IRsTkuaRdptpetG9NXFbEtFIXDh7hBm1EysfZzlv7Uq3qSee-hE5VETgA9l8njhaGg/s320/Hybrid---Wedding-Planner.jpg" border="0" /></div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320956553592203746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 323px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 296px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJKEZYLxBVMsFLeWRqZUyFqLGXJIXQbExaCIUaUvTnF9xxVjgqNl2ou4X9paOBM9Khcy60w4V9oSYu-mU3FK0-Xwf2SO-NLxG7YBhDSYiuFythQKEo_Br9KW9ZoYErepQ07NtS8oPPQ/s320/Hybrid---Wedding-Planner-2.jpg" border="0" /><br />And from the Ettes <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=43">Sweet Baby Girl Collection</a> I was able to create these two layouts.

It's such a pretty kit!</div><div><br /> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320957676579172706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5yfULOQUr0-JMbGDb1tIGVB5RABrXvQG2Svc2xQdG51vMKZLS2V9hs5BAnFQpweeYqCfbgVo5Il_fRkaOD4EoXEhwH94oXJUbAjG_CRg-XRtfVQEVNNHjItoYmvZJP_Wv6ODyGYREMg/s320/Our-Sweet-Angel.jpg" border="0" />At Been There Scrapped That I've been lucky enough to work with kits from several of their great designers. This layout for an album I'm doing for my friend's son, I used the awesome kit by Liz (Sweet Digi Scraps) called <a href="http://beentherescrappedthat.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_14&products_id=243">Boys Aloud.<br /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320958988047668914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 333px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 314px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyVL-pmawbWR2w_11Qd_hXrjGI_w8P3Q62Z9JRSXDjI3TgVYg5yAlKYPfBpt02KMCPc6nLlmuue3ZVt3ihf2Dl48tabD83-LuqFRw1teZ496ai1TtYtASH-LDbAnq6zz4JnxVHrdPUSA/s320/Wisdom-Knowledge.jpg" border="0" />This page was created using the awesome kit by a new designer at BTST, Sweet Tomato Designs. The kit is called <a href="http://beentherescrappedthat.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_52&products_id=603">Rocket Boy</a>. It really is out of this world!</div><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320958173387989730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAF5Pt2RiHDk6m7KchUP5PhVQ_q5mkvWg-V2hxtssCnxjkXw9XPdMOTpQrP2Wf4nd-rBtDWORgJoMCZQGX1zXOW01zN3QXPBOc17s9SkQ3JnUiW29pqjbBgst1lEPr1XgExzO3HloIsg/s320/Shoot-for-the-Stars.jpg" border="0" />Another new designer at BTST is Heckenzwerge Designs. She has some fabulous templates to create wordalbums. Here's the <a href="http://beentherescrappedthat.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_49&products_id=509">Girl</a> one that I did. I used Liz (Sweet Digi Scrap)'s <a href="http://beentherescrappedthat.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_14&products_id=153">Fruit Punch </a>kit along with the template. It turned out so cute.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320957488580694018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 322px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 295px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDp-FigTbsYxEKLk3XuvHT4fDgiE44S89W6nEGPk4d97d2IQUOBVTf0iLyXjw1_BgnUMVDVfTfDUbylS6XPcowEslN-c-dVZ3MBeE7w0lXzvpllfQM8RPDCOWXnVbuXnqT9jQ5i-QxCg/s320/Hybrid-Girl-Wordbook.jpg" border="0" /></div><div><div>Using Liz's Fruit Punch kit again I created another layout for my friend's son's book.

Jaimie is fabulous and I was able to create this layout with her kit called <a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=466">Shabby Boy</a>. What a great kit for those men and boys in your life.</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320958537151837282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 341px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 305px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJvB3rE0Y3N_mcILmH6sYqHZCEHdWlcGtbwW1M2h0rvIby4W14cljebPpDjNEsoo8D5TPxh-BgFdz9Th7WR1Pln4YVo5au_Jr4e394JOAnHTP8FwhQBYCiBBGv5appM0VBGRt9Kp80hg/s320/Wanted.jpg" border="0" /><br />And last...but definitely not least are the great kits from Calalily designs that I had the opportunity to work with.

Yup that's right! I just got invited to participate on the site creative team for not one but two more online digital scrapbook stores! <a href="http://www.mylifeandscrap.com/">My Life and Scrap </a>and <a href="http://www.scrapable.net/">Scrapable</a>.I'm so excited. I'll officially start as of April 1st but I was so excited that I had to get started a little early! Here's a layout I did with the March Collab kit from the great designers at My Life and Scrap called Early Spring.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316150971729660578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwzMpCTfPP5nT_4ApoWwhbUYHGIP5VnnjK0YUCJLFpSzdT3mFnX3Q6CYUEQbzJhyphenhyphen89ehzIbw08lxOsTuDKB_PhslScRdCcSSZS1Kg6v0U1bNGwmitBpr_ArHivNv7uixBCmlS3ydks2g/s400/Night-Scapes-China-2007.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>Click <a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31&products_id=337">here</a> to go check out the kit. It's awesome. And make sure you check back starting April 1st! I'll have many more layouts to share. Oh....I'm working on a hybrid project that I should have posted in the next couple of days. I can't wait to get it finished. Come back soon and check it out!</p><p>Later....<br /></p>dweberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14258888020639292208noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473028330389560709.post-50990883895826120472009-03-11T17:54:00.002-05:002009-03-11T18:24:17.044-05:00Hybrid is a blast!Wow....is this winter ever going to end! I'm seriously getting really tired of the snow. Thought we were almost to spring and then Mother Nature decided to blast us with a little more snow and some colder temperatures once again. Oh well as least the Ettes gave us a challege that helped keep the winter blues away.<br />They asked us to see what we could come up with for hybrid projects using their digital kits. It was so much fun and I finally got the chance to use the Kaiser Craft board book that I'd had sitting around for a couple of months. My camera is starting to slowly die so the pictures aren't as good as I had hoped they would be but hopefully you'll get a good feel for what it looks like. It turned out so cute!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312067752061076306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQyOWuLPY4scU0cxmO5ZolkFDZCxFqakE9eCIyx-Dih9iEz1__EaslcG77Jg_7ADync201cGjjh0bqQydAoZcfrNG5wuwpExV1cNRKqJpd_XkQgCOAIb0UdDx1AmQM7_sdTOQ1ymoZQ/s400/Family-Book.jpg" border="0" /><br />This project got me motivated. Now maybe I can finally get to working on the other 20+ albums I have laying around! I'm a little OCD when it comes to buying craft supplies. Just ask my family.....they've banned me from going to Archivers and Michaels! LOL<br /><br />But seriously....you should go check out the Ettes & Company gallery. (click <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/phpBB3/gallery/index.php">here</a>) There is some really cute hybrid project created by other members of the creative team. You've got to check out the cute little boy onesies created by Mary Ruth. They are absolutely adorable. Fayette created a little mint tin mini album that is so cute. Check them all out! And while your there.....check in the shop. They've added some really cute card templates and invitation collections. I personally can't wait to give them a try. Who doesn't like getting a home made card! Hallmark can't beat that! Click <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13&zenid=b1uvr8frk64pmufjpieeecajr5">here</a> if you want to take a peak. I just know you won't be disappointed!<br /><br />Well....off to create another hybrid project. They gave my creative mojo a boost so I'd better take advantage of it before it alludes me again!<br /><br />Until next time.......see ya!dweberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14258888020639292208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473028330389560709.post-16908315590862594522009-02-28T23:29:00.002-06:002009-02-28T23:35:07.304-06:00And another.....Just a really quick post. The<span style="color:#3333ff;"> <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Blue Skies Collection</span></a> </span><span style="color:#000000;">is just so darn cute that I had to do another page with it. When our oldest daughter was a wee little girl, my mom took her to her first easter egg hunt. She looked so cute all bundled up! This picture even made the local newspaper! Anyway here it is... I hope you enjoy it! I'll be back soon with more layouts to share!</span><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308088505185097618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI2nvqnt-HhRpXQqc9SU54xn03FGOfD45EWgvH2HVldLLH8ACVSMspiAf1drK3B8GNgkjbZl5owFPiz4VVbcGop8qiHJF-ZCCeWC_WXXFG1DhELRXg-FmKoJi-JILBNrLK1YX6LdP8Eg/s400/Mel-Egg-Hunt.jpg" border="0" />dweberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14258888020639292208noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473028330389560709.post-79158936363881261222009-02-27T23:27:00.011-06:002009-02-28T00:11:56.917-06:00Whew.....what a week!<span style="color:#000000;">Wow, what a crazy week this has been. Stressful, hectic, happy, sad. I think I've been through the whole gamut of emotions this week. I was a few weeks away from the real possibilty of being 1 of the 5,000, 000+ standing in the unemployment line. But.....thankfully a couple interviews at the beginning of the week produced a couple job offers and I was able to avoid the unemployment line. In these economic times getting laid off is a very scary thing.</span> <span style="color:#000000;">But there's only </span><a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=101"><span style="color:#3333ff;"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Blue Skies</span></a></span> <span style="color:#000000;">ahead for now.

The</span> <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/">Ettes</a> <span style="color:#000000;">have done it again! They have created this awesome new kit called Blue Skies. It has the cutest little bunnies and chicks! Everything you need to create some great Easter and Spring layouts, cards, etc. This kit is huge! Check out the two layouts below. I used the kit to create this layout of my daughter when she was baby. (She doesn't like to be called a girly girl so don't tell her I used pink on her page!)<br /></span><div></div><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicP9kAwAthfXPyy8CvD3uzR88wNpBv4-wR1VHWVmNkuft0HuCub9B336wbFvrZTDFkQQGYx7mMA69Q9ixattwAJ5gBwBlp9hmokO3Vn75Zcz3TI_INIdgLICH14nKOtHY038EbWqfWQA/s1600-h/Jeanna---Baby.jpg"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307716323968347682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicP9kAwAthfXPyy8CvD3uzR88wNpBv4-wR1VHWVmNkuft0HuCub9B336wbFvrZTDFkQQGYx7mMA69Q9ixattwAJ5gBwBlp9hmokO3Vn75Zcz3TI_INIdgLICH14nKOtHY038EbWqfWQA/s400/Jeanna---Baby.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#3366ff;"><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000000;">I also created a page from our son's wedding using the Blue Skies kit.

So I now have the perfect kit for some of those down and dirty pictures of boys being boys! <span style="color:#993399;"><a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/">The Ettes & Company</a></span> just added a new kit to their store today called the Dude Collection.<br /><br /><div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK9pzyqtvVMJVOHTbJcXUQzgoRlCN7fQqXl7ZTdstTpI8TB69OEXf3tbKiJDpRFAspggWrt3DfJP4-OftUwD-LifQ0OlUi4nwWjy4fuQVOitwKmgC6jxJkJ9kYKvFIvgQpIoScBJ2Ttg/s1600-h/thumbnail+Dude+Collection+Digi-Ette-al+Kit.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304353683982904114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 415px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 425px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK9pzyqtvVMJVOHTbJcXUQzgoRlCN7fQqXl7ZTdstTpI8TB69OEXf3tbKiJDpRFAspggWrt3DfJP4-OftUwD-LifQ0OlUi4nwWjy4fuQVOitwKmgC6jxJkJ9kYKvFIvgQpIoScBJ2Ttg/s400/thumbnail+Dude+Collection+Digi-Ette-al+Kit.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div>Isn't it just the cutest! And it will even work for the tomboy picutures as well. I have one daughter who absolutely does not like pink! So this kit will work well for some of her picutures too! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I've created a few layouts that show you how great this collection is. The layout below is another picuture of our nephew Ben at our son's wedding last summer. He was so cute sitting by the pond skipping rocks!<br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304354560537130210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 418px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 456px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYP2lQ2neFjP1o1AWAU_7p-88iL8cESIPXYM4mAkX1YgnQli7-VVl_qbsm49bNTFH8O7ECebE71DbPbKF52Gm1JKFHJFOwU7NpPR5KqjIZhEYK_LMj0_Z1Z4XmMmpTAmqBzVTgHQArvA/s400/skipping-rock.jpg" border="0" /> </div></div><br /><br /><div>Here's another one. This is of our nephew Cody when he was a wee little one. (It's amazing he's over 6 feet tall now!). He wasn't sure he liked the feel of crawling in the grass!</div><br /><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304353297461728434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 394px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 473px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRqX-6m8c5v-jPufIebF5WTpC5Ee5ttKXV1e3G3SSFZ9q_P7JSPBJ-hPruyzn6NgFQP06_OAZ9yX2ZocOTzrTr5WV6AdXhyWY-pSiHbO8SC_zhyphenhyphen2FxJMCAx7dbJEp1HM8erJ4Ke-bNmw/s400/Cody.jpg" border="0" />But I have to say I totally love all the little creatures that are included in the kit. I loved them so much I couldn't make up my mind which ones to include on this layout of our son Matt when he was little. So I just had to pile them all on! I just love this page and it just matches his personality to a tee!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304354981073387106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVENS3eRJFXtFuejx6flMRXj2tfv34ZsSQR96ARO9atvpTVR8ObTU6PmqaiQXR4pWOLBIyX1Lr8u-p3tBkox4mBi2dLRxogZgM_MI_CW-HrBpZh6Dc2R2dgLL4Cex-GqSzMuSzdL-Png/s400/Your-laughter.......jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div>Well, hope you enjoyed seeing my latest creations and hope you'll click <a href="http://www.ettesandcompany.com/store/index.php?main_page=products_new&zenid=4kotd7ntr440ggtnb97q0jha75">here</a> and go check out all the great new product The Ettes & Company have put together.
