Productive month

Its always funny to me that when I'm busier at work, I'm also busier/ more productive scrapping. Probably because I need the down time more to save my sanity. Here are a couple layouts I completed using the coordinations embossed cardstock. Fun stuff and definitely gives a different look to the pages. I'll definitely be using this more often.

DT reveal day!

Here are the other layouts for my first reveal with Scrapping Turtle. A couple from disney and one with some older photos. I think I will be adding a little journalling to that one eventually, just not sure what yet. Just love how versatile this line is! Great papers for sure.

A couple more layouts

For challenges at the Turtle. The first is a Layout tag and one of the few pictures I have of my father and his two sisters together.

The second was a sketch challenge. I decided to use brackets instead of circles as well as a larger picture. Otherwise, pretty true to form. Made some paper flowers with paper strips and my border punch.

I have some additional ones but will have to wait until after the reveal to share.

Product of the month

As part of my DT duties, I will be showcasing a Product of the Month. This month it is the Kiki Art fun tape. I received the Antologia Famila and was able to use it for some pictures of our Character breakfast. I used the tape as a type of stiching down the side of the pictures and on the letters in the title. Fun stuff!

Scrapping Turtle DT

YEAH!!!!!! I was offered a 9 month contract position with the Scrapping Turtle, as part of their design team. I am super excited by this opportunity and am humbled by the wonderful girls I am on the team with. It will certainly be a fun 9 months.

May is our first month and I received the new Fancy Pants line, My Family. Here is my sneak peek:

Mom gave me some older family photos when she was up in March. I am hoping to tackle some of them through the next few months. Here is the first one. A picture of my paternal grandparents celebrating 50 years of marriage. Something that is just so rare.

I got some exciting news

but just can't share yet. Can't wait until I can but sufficient to say - I am so THRILLED by the news. More to tell later. I promise, I'll share when I can.

Tomorrow's the day

The girls are just so pumped - just not sure what to do with themselves. Its making it hard to get anything done but how can you blame them? I'm pumped too!
Mike works tomorrow until 5pm. We will be leaving as soon as he gets home and showers. Heading across the border and checking into our hotel. Tomorrow night we will be spending there so we don't have to deal with customs, etc. at 4am. Our plane leaves at 6am on Sunday.
So...see you in a little over a week.
