TS December Reveal

I absolutely love the kit I'm working with this month at Treasured Scrapbooking. Actually, I love them both -- but Kit 1 is so fun and whimsical -- right down my alley. I was just delighted that I finally came up with a clever little title. Titles are hard. Really hard sometimes. They usually come to me fairly quick, but I never just absolutely LOVE them like I do this one. The whole page just came together with that funky fruity paper. LOVE IT! I can't wait to dive in and create more. The possibilites are endless!

December Kits at Treasured Scrapbooking

Look at these yummy kits that Erin has put together over at Treasured Scrapbooking! I was lucky enough to be chosen for another DT term over there, and I'm telling you, I am so excited with these kits. I'm working with Kit 1 this month, and it is totally right up my alley. LOVE IT! Get a load of this:

Cccchange Crop at TS

Hey everybody! It's been a while since I've blogged. I'm a bad bad blogger. It seems like I have been so swamped with work, kids' activities, etc. that I just don't take the time to come over here and update like I used to.

I do want to mention, though, that there are some changes going on over at Treasured Scrapbooking. It's bittersweet -- I'm so sad to see Leslie sell out, but I am delighted that Erin is taking over. Leslie has done an outstanding job and it has been such an honor and pleasure to be on her DT the past 6 months. With that being said, I am so excited for Erin and can't wait to see what she has in store for us.

In honor of all the changes that are going to be taking place over there, we are having a Cccchange Crop beginning tomorrow that will be going on all next week. Sure hope you come join us for lots of ccccchallenges and prizes!

I'll leave you with a few projects I've done over the past month or so using Leslie's awesome kits. Thank you, Leslie, for providing such awesome kits and for letting me have the privilege of being on your DT. I am so looking forward to seeing you scrap with us again!

Just a Little Bit of Scrapping

Not sure what the deal is . . . it doesn't seem like I've done much scrapping this past month. School started back today, so maybe that had something to do with it. Who knows! Anyway, I did manage to do this page over the weekend. I love how it turned out. It was for a scraplift challenge. I used an older kit and just love how perfectly the colors match my picture.

X Marks the Crop

I really meant to post about this before now and I just haven't been very good about keeping up with my blog. We had an X Marks the Crop crop over at Treasured Scrapbooking and it was so much fun. It was pirate-themed and was a huge success. So fun to see new members coming in for it. My challenge was to talk like a pirate, so I created this page for my challenge. Scooby's all-star team from last year was perfect for this challenge. With them being the Lady Pirates, it worked out perfectly.

The Treasure Hunt is still going strong and the entries are being narrowed down. I'm just blown away by the pages I have seen. Such talent! :)

The Treasured Hunt

Oh my! I can't believe it is that time of year already! The biggest contest of the year is getting ready to kick off over at Treasured Scrapbooking (see link at right). Last year was my first year participating, and I can honestly say that the layouts I created during that contest have been some of my most favorite. And the prize -- the GRAND PRIZE -- is amazing! You have to come check it out! Sure hope you play along! Here's what I did last year during the contest.



Come play along -- and be sure to introduce yourself and let them know Ginger sent you! Hope to see you over there!
