Now onto some Layouts…. I have been busy this week working on some super duper awesome releases from my sweet Designers!!!!  LUV’ YA, ladies!!!!!

Lets start w/ this one, I must say this might be one of my favorite LOs so far that I have done.  I wish I could recreate it just like this in paper, I am hoping its going to print just as good.  I love everything about this kit!

Supplies: Bleached kit by TotallyD Designs; inspired by the template by: Camie Designs

This is a runner up in terms of favorite… but it is very close to first place in terms of my favorite LOs right now.  It is so peaceful, it really reminds me of Bianca when she was tiny and a very calmed baby.

Supplies: Dedicated kit by TotallyD Designs; inspired by the template by A+ Designs

This LO, is one of those that take a life of its own.  It started w/ a pretty “simple” template w/ the strips.  I wanted to use tons of strips to showcase all the cool papers in this kit. and then I am adding tons and tons of embellishments, that is NOT usually my style… but I guess I am liking it more and more… so soon it WILL be my style… LOL!!!!

Supplies: Dot dot dot kit by Danimoy Designs; template: I can’t seem to find my template to be able to give appropriate credit, so please if you recognize the template please let me know.

ok, there is something GRAND about these leaves in this kit… they look super duper real… I can almost feel like I can pick them up from the screen.  I found this awesome blog (Yin also has a store) w/ tons of really ubber cool template, what is so cool about her templates, well they are made to put TONS and I mean tons of photos and most of them are 2 page spreads!!!!  You got to see her samples and her printed books they are AWESOME!

Supplies: Falling for you collab kit by two of my favorite designers TotallyD Designs and Scrappergirl designs; template: #77 template by Yin Designs

I started working w/ this kit for a blog wear (which should be done hopefully tomorrow, I just need to test it a bit more) and just fell in love w/ the kit.  It has some awesome patterns and love the shine on the elements, and I immediately thought of Lulu, my sparky dog.

Supplies: Jungle Boogie kit by Scrapper Girl Designs
Challenge: Monday Mystery Challenge @ SGD Blog

Doesn’t it bother you when you know you have some pictures but can’t seem to find them?  Well this was the case for this LO, it took me 1hr to find my photos of my gorgeous 3 Kings.

Supplies: Kissing Santa kit by TotallyD Designs; template: #117 from Scrapping with Liz

Paper Scrappin’… yes….

Yes, I am paper scrappin’ still… I can’t stay away from the sweet smell of paper, plus I have a room full of it that I NEED TO USE!  When I bought this paper I had totally forgotten that Bianca’s swimsuit was so perfect for it!  It was a nice surprise to say the least!  I started this one a few days ago for OLW challenge blog, but I guess I was too slow because they have moved to their next word.  A few more challenges for this one, current challenges LOL!!!!!
