Major update on CT layouts!!

I've been a bad blogger again and despite doing layouts and posting them in galleries I haven't updated my blog with all my layouts...

First I want to let you know about a super fun promo that the STI team is having during the soccer world cup. You need to go HERE and sign up before tomorrow and you'll get to participate in fun challenges and have the chance to win prizes. I can't wait to play along with you all!

Now, layouts galore! All the following layouts are from Stacey's Scraps.
First is W is for Wild which has gorgeous colours and the cutest bull ever:


My layout:


After that came X is for Xspecially for Boys:


My layout:


Then Y is for You Complete Me, great colour scheme and fun elements:


My layout:


And the last letter of the alphabet gave us Z is for Zoo, a gorgeous zoo kit with rich colours:


My layouts:


Then Stacey moved on from the alphabet series and brought us Snips and Snails for the boys which is full of fun boy elements, and she even made some of her elements into CU pngs!


My layout (lift of a page by KSCroppyChick):


And after that came Sugar and Spice for the girls, which is very sweet and has some gorgeous browns and yellows, so it can even be used for boys. And again there are CU items.


My layout:


I also need to show you the last two collaborations from the Scrap That Idea team.
In May it was Funkytown, which I ADORE.


My layouts:
(with just Stacey's part):

And with all parts (templates by Polkadot Scrapper and Scrappurple):


And for June, they decided to honour fathers over the world and created My Dad:


My layout (template by Kate Hadfield):

I've also done lots of challenges, but I think it's enough for one post now. So I'll show them gradually.
I've been wanting to do a template for you guys, but didn't find the time... It'll come though so keep visiting ;)

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping!

Bad blogger with lots to say ... and a freebie!



Between my son's ear infection, my own sinus infection, a little business/family trip, and nothing to give, I've been a bad blogger indeed!
So now I'm back with lots of things to say. And you might want to stay with me as I do have a little something for you at the end of the post...

First, let me tell you about the great sale coming up at Scrap That Idea:


My wishlist is ready, go prepare yours!

Now here are a couple of layouts I did for Stacey's Scraps CT. She keeps releasing gorgeous kits and I can't believe I'm 3 kits behind!
Take a look at T is for Teenager:


My layouts:



U is for Urban Love:


My layout:


V is for Victoria:


My layout:


I've also done a few challenges lately, but as the post is getting long (!), I'll just show you this one, done with Earth and Sky by Mel Hains Designs:


And the reason I chose this one to show you is because I've made a template from it!
Hope you like it, here's the preview linked to 4shared to download:


Leave me some love if you like it.
Happy scrapping!

Challenges at Stacey's Scraps

Today I want to tell you about a couple of challenges that Stacey is having.
First, just join her Facebook page and you could win a free kit of your choice. It's that easy, just join before Sunday and she'll randomly select a winner. The Facebook page is very easy to find as she has a huge link on her blog ;)

The second one is a bit trickier, but really fun. What you have to do is guess what the T stands for in her next alphabet series kit, coming out on Saturday. You have until tomorrow night to post on her blog of Facebook page. So go ahead and guess, because if you guess right, you could win the kit for free. And although I can't help you, I can tell you that you will want the kit!

Now just to add a bit of colour to this post, here are two layouts I made for my brother-in-law and his wife, of their two very new daughters.
I used the collab Framboisine:

Lots of new things!

There are lots of things to say today!

First, Stacey had a new kit out Saturday, called R is for Red and Kitty Revamped.
It's gorgeous and I decided to scraplift an old layout of mine with it ;)
Here's the kit and my layout:



She also has an amazing freebie starting today called Brighter Days. Go grab it fast, it's a must-have! Look:


I'm quite proud of that layout, what do you think?

And finally there is an awesome challenge going on at the Scrap that Idea blog. You can win a $5 GC... Here's my page (with Stacey's O is for Over the Rainbow):


Happy scrapping!

St Patrick's day freebies all over the place...

Happy St Patrick's Day everyone (Irish or not a bit of luck is always good).

There are kits for the occasion everywhere, but the best one is over at Stacey's Scraps. First it's a freebie, second the title is awesome: "I'm not Irish but kiss me anyway", how cute is that? And third, the colours and textures are gorgeous as always.
Take a look:

You can click the image to get it all (all today!).

And she didn't make an alpha, because she made it all this morning just for us! But I happen to have a little alpha freebie that could go with it ;)

Here's Kiss Me:

Click the image or here to get it and leave Stacey and me some love if you download!

layout of the day!!

So happy! Just sharing the news that I was layout of the day for March 10th at Scrapable with my scraplift layout Pommes:

As it was a scraplift, I should thank Kim21673 for the beautiful original layout. And thanks to Stacey for a gorgeous kit (I used her Tutti Frutti, one of my favourites of hers and only $1 here).
And of course thank you to the girls at Scrapable who picked me among so many great layouts!
