Rosalie
Wow, too much has happened since I last posted for me to ever catch up! Instead I'll just direct you to my gallery (I finished my sister-in-law's album, so be sure to check out all the pages here) -- and I'll show off just one recent layout, since it showcases the reason I've been so busy:
Rosalie by Andilynn Designs fonts: Scrap Rhapsody, Pea Chrissi shadow styles: Jenn Barrette photo actions: Pioneer Woman
Isn't she adorable?? This little girl is more than three months old now and as sweet as can be.
And how 'bout that layout? After two boys, it's SO fun to scrap with girl colors. This kit from Andilynn Designs, Rosalie, is a perfect girl kit -- or it would work great with heritage pages, also!
There's also some wordart:
And the creative team has designed some clusters (including one that I designed for my Pretty in Pink layout):
And if you've just gotta have it all, check out this bundle:
Andrea has even created a freebie quickpage with the Rosalie kit! Click on the image and you'll be taken to the ScrapMatters store where you can download it -- then just slip your own photo in the frame and add a title and some journaling and you're set!

Happy iNSD!
Happy [inter]National Scrapbooking Day! My husband's been watching the kids all morning while I've shopped; what a guy! The boys were riding bikes this morning, and my cute little five-year-old son apparently told his little neighbor friend that "it's May 1 -- National Scrapbooking Day!" Ha! He obviously is a kid who's into celebrations.
May 1 also kicks off the Queen of Scrap contest at ScrapMatters, and while I've got plenty on my plate to keep myself occupied with a baby coming soon, I signed up anyway! Who could resist the participation prizes?
And there's even more of a chance for prizes with Andilynn Designs; check it out:
Want more information on how you can get in on this contest? (Also: want a chance to win that template pack I posted about yesterday? Or want a freebie associated with the iNSD ScrapMatters blog train??) Just check out Andilynn's blog!

iNSD Eve!
It's the day before [inter]National Scrapbooking Day, and the sales have already started! Ooh, I love the big scrapbooking holidays -- it's so fun to go digi-shopping!
But who says you need to spend money? Check out the Andilynn Designs blog to find out how you can be entered to win these FREE templates:
I used one from the template pack to make this layout:
Creatively Inspired Template vol. 1 (slightly altered) by Andilynn Designs Creative Team
Fair Are the Meadows by Andilynn Designs
texture is concrete_vertical_grooves_37293 from Mayang's Free Texture Library
fonts: Clingy, American Typewriter
---
Want to see the other layouts I've done the past week couple weeks? I've really been pushing myself to get this album done, and so in spite of being out of town for a few days, I've made some significant progress. I think I have about 10-ish layouts to go (less?) and then I'll be done. WOO-HOO!
This one was fun. The spoon is my favorite! I can't believe I actually had a spoon in my stash; awesome!
Serendipity add-on by Suzy Q Scraps
spoon from Breezy by Britt-ish Designs
stitching and red alpha from My Favorite Valentine by Andilynn Designs
In the City alpha by Sahlin Studio

I love the unique design here, though I can't take a lot of the credit because I lifted it! I made my own frame by taking an existing circle frame from this kit, duplicating it, and merging it. The mat behind it took a little bit of thinking but wasn't hard: I magic-wanded my new circle-frame I made, expanded the selection by a few pixels, created a new layer, and then filled the layer with a solid color -- then I was able to use that as a clipping mask for whatever paper I wanted. The shadowing of the transparent elements was time consuming (but worth it!) and Britt's new doodly flowers were the perfect finishing touch!

I really like this layout as a ten-year-old boy layout; not sure about it as a baptism-layout! But I'm not about to scrap this in soft pastel colors, you know?
Very fun design. I wonder why I didn't use this template when it came out a year ago. Maybe my taste has changed? Very possible.

circle stitching from My Favorite Valentine by Andilynn Designs
Plain 'n Distressed alpha by Designs by Sarah (Sarah Bryan)

I did my own design on this one, and I really like it! I've seen this trend a lot (using two papers in the background) but usually it's the other way, so that a vertical line between the papers is created. Looks like this way works in some cases, too!

Had a lot of fun with this new kit! Aren't the colors fantastic? And the pictures are fun, too. Originally this one a single-page layout but I added a second page when I found more fountain pictures!

Shades of Gray by Cori Gammon
scalloped matte created using Paper Shapers by Britt-ish Designs
Stamp My ABC's by Britt-ish Designs

A quick page to put together, and I love how it turned out! This is a great kit that was a daily download last year.

These pictures were taken in the evening, so I went ahead and made them even darker with an action. ;-) Despite the almost-black photos, the yellows make this page fun. Oh, and I pretty much LOVE my titlework!

yellow leaf branch from BeautiFALL add-on by ScrapMuss Designs
Date Bits 19 by Misty Cato
sepia action from Pioneer Actions 2
fonts: Haettenschweiler, CK_Ali's_Hand_Official, American Typewriter

Finally I got to use a kit I got all the way back in November! And I was going to go with a standard "Happy Halloween" title but I thought this was more fun -- besides, it satisfied the Word Up! challenge at ScrapMatters.

This layout ended up being quite a bit like ones I've done before, but maybe I'm the only one who notices. :-) The doodles plus the ribbon and stitching down the side remind me a lot of a teenager's composition notebook for school.

Really liked this kit (thanks, Amy, for pointing me to where I could get it for free!) and was glad to have some pictures to use it for! This template was perfect for it, too, except that it only had spots for "just" seven photos ... I fixed that. ;-)
