Ahoy Matey!

How on earth is it (nearly) September already? It seems like just yesterday I was making my plans for the summer. Time really does fly.

August was another very busy month for me, but I was able to create an alpha that will go perfectly with all of this month's blog train contributions. I used a font called Black Chancery which I got at SearchFreeFonts.

And here is a list of the rest of the designers taking part in September's blog train. If a designer doesn't have his or her portion posted yet, please check back. We're spread out across the globe. Be sure you grab each portion by the 15th of the month. After that date, designers are free to put their portion of the blog train in their store(s). My portion will remain free until 7:00 pm (CT) on September 30 when I post my October blog train contribution. Happy collecting!

August Color Challenge at STS

There are a variety of challenges each month at Stuff to Scrap, including a color challenge. When I get a chance, I like to create a mini. This month I loved the colors. My 13-year old niece has a shirt with these colors and her favorite saying lately has been "whatever." So, I created a mini-kit (6 papers, 11 elements) and called it "Whatever."

I {heart} coupons!

A couple of weeks ago, Carissa of This Little Missy posted that she had a new kit coming out called I {Heart} Coupons. She asked the other Stuff to Scrap designers if anyone wanted to be a guest CT for her. I jumped at the chance because I *had* to scrap the pictures of my frequent buyer/loyalty and gift cards. I had just cleaned out my wallet and didn't realize just how many I had until I did that. Check out what I had stashed in my wallet:

Carissa has just released the kit in the store and it's 25% off all week.

Makin' It Funky! & freebie

Howdy! It seems like forever since I've had a full kit to share with you. Life's been busy and I haven't had as much time to design as I'd like. Fortunately, I've got a new kit to show you (and a freebie for those who hang around until the end).

This week, I've got a new kit--a collab with Designs by Christi--to share with you. I came up with the color palette and she came up with the theme and I absolutely love it! It's called Makin' It Funky! and it's perfect for scrapping all sorts of pictures. Check out some of the layouts from my CT below. (I'll have more eye candy from them later in the week.)

 Here's a preview of the entire kit and coordinating worn papers that you can pick up at Stuff to Scrap.

And don't forget to head on over to Christi's blog to check out her goodies!

A new month means a new palette of Build a Kit mini kits at Stuff to Scrap. There is a lot to choose from--20 mini kits this month!

My contribution is called Flower Power. The palette colors are exactly the same as a set of floral bedsheets I had when I was a little girl. Here's a preview of what I created. There are 6 papers (4 patterned, 2 solid) and 12 unique elements in all.

A couple of my CT members played around a bit with the kit. I love what they created!
Head on over to the store to check out all the great mini kits!
