To get things going, here's a page using a combination of her two "Building Blocks" templates. I love these because they're just the blocks -- you can arrange them in so many different ways to make your actual layout -- and they come in inked and regular versions. These are so versatile; I know I'll be using them again!

Would you ever guess this was a seafood kit?? I love the colors in it, and that patterned paper is unlike any I've seen -- very fun!

I loved the titlework on the page I lifted; so clever and something I hadn't tried before. These little alphas (and the matching dates) were perfect for it!

A combination of an Autumn kit with a Christmas kit ... I think it works! And hopefully doesn't look either autumnal nor Christmasy (since these pictures were taken in April!)

Sometimes I scraplift to satisfy a challenge requirement (e.g. Grand Theft Layout at ScrapMatters), and other times I scraplift just because I happen across an AWESOME page. This one was the latter. I need to use this design again, in my own album.

I debated about whether I should blog this story or scrap it ... I finally decided to scrap it. I think it will be a fun addition to our family's album, even if I don't especially like that picture of me. I'm trying to make sure I take the time to record these little moments even while falling behind on the big vacations and such -- I know I'll come back and scrap the vacations eventually, but these are the kind of things that will be forgotten if I don't act now.

I've been wanting to use this kit for its fun colors! Even though it's a holiday kit -- and a Hanukkah one at that (and I'm not Jewish) -- it's one I'll be going back to, just for the solid papers alone. It's on sale right now, too ... lots of stuff on sale over at ScrapMatters!

*sigh of relief* Thanks for posting the credits. I like the extra tidbits about your LOs here, too.
I've been wondering about my blog vs. scrapping and whether I'm wasting some time recording the same memories in both places. I still haven't decided how I feel about that one yet since I almost always record more details in my blog.
Love Chelle's Building blocks. They do look pretty useful.
CnScrap always has great designs, it seems!
How fun it was to look through your creations. Pretty cool stuff! I loved your pickle story. I have a friend who craved pickles when pregnant as well. Actually she craved pickle juice and would crack open a jar and start drinking. So funny!
