I cannot believe I haven't blogged about it!
Great news is that Ange aka Ange Designs kindly asked me to join her CT and I just couldn't resist! lol

Anyway, I appear to be the slowest CT member, here's my first project with the beautiful kit Cocoon.


I also used Sasya's Sketch No 11 and Prima Flowers.


Thanks, Ange, for having me! :)

CT Spotlight - Summer Solstice!

Privet! Carolyn here with the spotlight on Summer Solstice! This kit is absolutely amazing. There are so many beautiful textured papers and fabulous elements that make it perfect for almost any of your pictures! I love the beautiful blues, greens, oranges and reds. So much variety in one kit!


Here's the matching alpha that I have used many times. It is so rustic, perfect for any outdoor photos and stunning with the Summer Solstice kit!

This is my latest layout using Summer Solstice. I felt like flowers and these orange ones looked so great with my photos that I decided to make a whole border with them. What fun!

For all your summer photos you will NEED this kit! It will make your pages look beautiful! Hope you have as much fun playing with it as I did!

Happy Scrapping....

CT Spotlight: Mr. & Mrs. Brown

Hello ya'll! Kathy here with a look at Mr. & Mrs. Brown. I have to say, I'm super partial to brown/monotone kits. I don't know what it is about them, I just LOVE them! This kit is no exception. It's rich, classic, and simply put......AMAZING! I absolutely loved working with this kit. Take a look at what I made with it:

Spotlight on Stepping Out!

Hello, everyone! Sarah here to shine the spotlight on another gorgeous kit - Stepping Out.

Here in the United States, June is one of the most popular months for weddings. Stepping Out is a great kit to turn to when you have a wedding themed page or project. Isn't it beautiful!

Check out all those lovely floral elements. Perfect for a wedding, don't you think? I recently designed a wedding invitation for a good friend, and I used Stepping Out:

And I also created a page using some of these floral elements to talk about my work as a wedding photographer:

I hope you'll think of this lovely kit as you're scrapping the wedding photos in your collection. I know I'll be coming back to this kit time and time again when I have a beautiful summer wedding whose story I want to record in my family scrapbook.

Monday Freebie!

Privet and Happy Monday, everyone!!  It's Cara here with a fun freebie today.  I have a serious addiction to Maria's kit, "Nocturne De Fleur".   Seriously... I can't stop using it!  It's so versatile with black and white papers and the pop of vibrant colors is so striking.  If you don't already have this kit, GO GET IT!  Plus, it's the featured kit of the month, so it's ON SALE!  You'll be surprised at how many things you can scrap with this kit. You can find it exclusively at ScrapMatters.  Here's a preview of the kit:

And now, for the freebie!  I created a "framed" word art and a word art by itself.

Download it HERE.

I was inspired by how lovely my garden looks right now, and thought this would be a great cornerstone piece for a layout.  I hope you enjoy it.  If you download it, please remember to say Spasibo (or Thank You!).  Have a wonderful week!

CT Spotlight - Nocturne De Fleur and a Freebie!

Happy Wednesday! Carolyn here to share this gorgeious kit from Scrapmuss Designs which has now become my new favorite:

Nocturne De Fleur is simply stunning. The beautiful black and white papers look spectacular with any formal layouts such as your graduation, prom or wedding photos. But the bright colors of the elements add pizzaz to any everyday layout too. It is just so versatile I didn't want to stop creating with it! Here are a few of the layouts I had such a fabulous time making with it:

I created a quickpage for you with this last layout.
