I am so excited! I won TWO different giveaways in ONE day! I rock! 😉 Here’s what I won:

Registered on TipJunkie, I won My Favorite Pal Father/Son ties. She’s actually local and I’m very excited to see Spencer’s ZIPPER tie (I don’t think I figured out how they work yet). Take a look-see:

I also won digital buttons from Scrapzone by Gabi Butcher. Look how cute! Also, take a look-see at her other stuff!

Scrapzone

I sure was lucky! 🙂 Thanks gals! You’re so talented!

So I’ve been looking through some previous scrapbook pages I’ve done and I realized there are some that I simply do not like. Especially the ones at the very beginning when I started teaching myself how to do Photoshop and only knew how to use very few tools. Others I’ve gone back and fixed or added or changed a few things…but others…whew! I hated them! Here are two that I’ve re-done lately:

And here’s one I did when I found this picture of Spencer. I can’t believe how much he’s grown!

Annette pointed out to me this morning that one of my layouts that I did for a “Volunteer Creative Team” call for Dea Spina was featured in their newsletter. How very cool. Take a look-see. (Click on “Late July” to download the correct newsletter from Digitals)

Here’s my “All Boy” kit:

So, I’m trying to design my own digital kits for digi scrapping. (Annette is supposed to be too! hint hint!) Here’s my “Ay Matey” kit:

So I just love word art…I really do. It seems so many other people are extremely creative with quotes and phrases that I would just do in a simply dull text. I found this blog, mmdcreations, and just love her word art! I looked at a lot of them (and downloaded most of them!) and can just imagine what pictures I’m going to use and what page layout I’d use. I hope to create a page and put them up and let her know how great I think she is! Take a look-see.

Okay, so I came across this website because one of her freebies were listed on Ikea Goddess‘ blog and can I just say

I

LOVE

HER

STYLE!

She has such cute layouts and kits and kids and everything! I think I’ll be spending a lot of time on her site! Here’s the link:

Here’s what I did for my July desktop. If anyone is interested in one, let me know (I’ll swap the pics out if you’d like!) This one has Mike and Nicole (and Gavin) since their baby is due soon…but hopefully not before the 4th!

Dea Spina put out a Volunteer Creative Team member call (first come-first serve) and I was the first to respond! Dea allowed me to use her kit LikeNoOther in exchange for my layout(s) that she could use in her emails, blog, etc. I had so much fun doing this and can’t wait for another opportunity to try again! Thanks Dea!
