I’ve been a bad blogger

This week I haven’t done my usual blogging catch up.  Sorry about that!  I did get to work with some really great kits this weekend that you can check out.

First Scraps of Ellay has a new kit in her store called Diamond Lucy.  It’s colorful and fun!

My layout also used a new template by Amy M Designs called Journalistic.  I love love love templates and AmyM’s rock!

SuzyQ Scraps store @ Polka Dot Plum is open and she has a lot of great new kits!  I had fun working with one called Roughin It.

I also got to play with a new kit by A+ Designs called Falling Again and a new template pack she has available Templistic: Peace. 

Doesn’t that make you want to just jump in a pile of leaves and have fun?  I also used my first attempt and creating my own text on a path for the title  It came out pretty well,  but I’ve got a lot to learn.

Dani Moy has a new grab bag out @ ESS with 5 products in it for $3.00.  I’ve gotten a look at it and I would run to get it while it’s in the grab bag.  Just one of the products alone is worth the $3.00.

I hope you found a little inspiration.   Looking at my Fall layout is making me wish for cooler weather.  Can you believe that October is just around the corner?  Time is flying by.

Have a great Wednesday!

So what do you think?

I hope you liked the papers you got yesterday.  Thank you to the ones of you who have left a comment.  I have been so nervous about the release of this kit!  Your sweet words mean a lot to me.

I am ready for the fall.  I loved playing in the leaves as a child.  My Dad would rake these huge piles of leaves up in our yard and I remember running and jumping into them.  Of course, I would come away itchy as everything but it was so much fun!  My oldest two children have shown that same affinity for jumping into piles of leaves.  Unfortunately where we live the trees aren’t big enough to create huge piles of leaves for them to play in.  They might be that big by the time we have grandchildren but not if we don’t plant some trees in our back yard soon.  LOL 

No, my children get their fix of leaf pile jumping when we visit my DH’s sister in Arkansas.  Every time we go my kids have a blast raking leaves and playing in the piles.  I now know to take an extra change of clothes for them when we visit so they can take a quick bath and change into less “itchy” clothes for the trip home.   Can’t deny them the fun though.  Besides I get some great photos!

This kit was perfect for scrapping some of those photos.  I used some of all three parts of the collab for this layout as well as a template by Dani Moy Designs called Nameless available at ESS.

And there’s this one too….

Okay, I know you are here for the elements right?  BTW if you missed Jenn’s part just scroll down a little and grab it from the post below.

Until later!  Susan

Falling Into Autumn

I know I’ve been telling you for about a month that I had something planned for you that I hoped you would like.  Finally I get to share with you what I’ve hinted at for so long!  Lori Ann of Scraps of Ellay invited me to join her and Jenn of JennCK Designs in a Collab kit.  I was so honored!  The colors were chosen by Jenn and they are beautiful!

First here is a little inspiration for you.  Lori Ann made this layout using just my part – Thanks sweetie! I can’t tell you how blown away I was at seeing something I made used to create this beautiful layout!

Here is a layout I did with just Lori Ann’s part using a template by AmyM Designs – Journalistc.

And here is one by Cheri from SOE’s CT that uses parts of the whole kit.

Here are the full previews of what you will be getting this week from the three of us.
