I had a little time to contribute to this month's Stuff to Scrap blog train. This month's blog train is a pirate themed one called "Ahoy Matey." I only had time to put together an alpha for you. I hope you like it! Here's the preview.

You can download it HERE. Then head over to all the fabulous designers' blogs to pick up the rest of this blog train.

Random Things

There are two speed scraps coming up at Stuff to Scrap this week. One is today hosted by the Scrappy Kat. Check out the flyer and participation prize.

Scraps by Andrea is hosting a Speed Scrap at the STS Forum on Sept. 2nd. The participation prize is an Autumn inspired mini kit called 'Falling'. Hope to see you there!



Tomorrow the voting will open for the 5th week Immunity challenge. Our challenge this week was to create a mini in black and white and no other colors. I've never done too much with black and white so this made me really think! Here's what I came up with. You can download it in the Brownie Scraps gallery. Tomorrow around noon, I'll post the links for voting and I hope you vote for me!

New Kits

The Scrappy Kat has teamed up with Mommy Me Time Scrapper again to bring you a fabulous new kit. This new kit is all about going to kindergarten. The elements and papers are like a felt board that used to be used in classes. This kit is called "Kinder-Story." Here's what it looks like.
Here is my layout.

I also have a freebie brag book page for you. You can download it HERE.


Becky Young Designs also has a new kit out today called "Bath Time." It's a perfect kit to scrap all those first bath pictures or pictures of your kids splashing in the tub. Here's what the kit looks like.

Here are my layouts.

Finally, a freebie!

I know I promised you all a freebie this week to celebrate my birthday. Designer Survivor is taking up ALL of my scrapping time plus kit making time. Between when the last challenge ended and the next one began, I was able to get all my CT LOs done plus a mini for you.

I was so inspired by the color challenge at Digi Scrap Obsession (DSO) this month. I decided to use those colors to create a mini for you. So without further ado, I give you my new freebie mini, Adore.

You can download the papers HERE and the elements HERE. This kit will be put in my store in one week, so grab the kit NOW!

**Note links have been fixed. For some reason my account that I initally had them uploaded to was deleted so I had to upload to 4shared instead.

Fun Lovin'

So my sister called to tell me that I need to put some layouts on my blog since I hadn't done so since Sunday. So here are some new layouts for you (can you believe I really haven't done much scrapping???)

Ivory Keys Digital Dreams has a new kit out today called "Fun Lovin." I just loved the bright colors combined with the deep colors. So beautiful! The elements are fun and whimsical as well. Here's what the kit looks like.


Here are my layouts. I had fun using just 3 of the colors in the first layout.

Several Things

I have a random assortment of things to tell you about today. First off, I'm in a Designer Survivor competition and I just finished up my kit for this week. The task was to make a monochromatic kit with no CU items. I chose to do blues and call it "Stormy Weather." Here's what it looks like. You have to go to the Brownie Scraps gallery to pick up this kit (plus you can take a look at all the other kits there and download those too!) On Saturday this kit is moving into my store.

Onto the second order of business. Scraps by Andrea is having a sale. Check out the details.

Becky Young Designs is also having a sale. Check out the flyer: it's a buy one get one free sale! Awesome!

There's a speed scrap at Stuff to Scrap tomorrow. Check out the flyer and the participation prize.

Voting Time!

I know! It's been a few days since I've posted. Well this week's designer survivor challenge is make me do a lot of work! I'm very happy with how my kit (full size!) is turning out, so stay tuned for the link to my kit. You'll actually get quite a few of them!

Immunity challenge voting is up! This week we had to use a magazine cover and make 2 papers and 3 elements based off the cover. I was inspired by all the stripes on the page. So I call my entry "Simply Striped." You can head over to Brownie Scraps HERE to download it. This is what it looks like.

Please go vote for me HERE (Simply Striped by B2N2 Scraps). You can go HERE to see all the entries. I would love to get immunity and I would get to share it with another designer too! Thanks so much! I still hope to have another freebie up on my blog this week. We'll see if I get it done. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all the work I need to do!

Billions of Bubbles

My new kit is being released today! I’m so excited about it because I just love bright colors. I was inspired by the colors of bubble bottles. I love walking in stores to the aisle where they have bubbles because they are all so colorful! My new kit is a mega kit called “Billions of Bubbles.” It’s got 22 papers, 48 elements and an upper case alpha with numbers. My creative team did an awesome job with this kit. Take a look at their inspiration.

3 New Releases

I've got 3 kits to tell you about, each so different than the other!

The first one I'm going to tell you about is the kit that Marni Designs made for ME! I provided the color palette, the theme (flowers) and had a say about the designs of the papers and elements. It was so much fun! I even got to name it (which I am terrible at giving names to things) so I called it "May Flowers." I think the kit was made in May so it made more sense then :) But it works for all kinds of pictures. Here's a look at the kit. Right now May Flowers is 25% off!

Here are my layouts.


The second kit was actually released yesterday. It's called Fly Boy and it's a collab between The Scrappy Kat and Seal Scraps. Both of their husbands are into aviation so they made a kit based on airplanes. I had NO airplane pictures but I did have train pictures which I thought worked perfectly with this kit! Here's a look at The Scrappy Kat's portion of this kit. This kit is 40% off right now in honor of National Aviation Day. I'm not sure how long the sale is, so go grab it today

Here are my layouts.

I made a freebie page border cluster for you. Here's a look at it. You can download HERE.

Finally, Scraps by Andrea has a new kit out called In My Backyard. It's such a fun bright versatile kit. It works great for pictures of kids playing in the backyard but it also has so many other uses! Here's a look at the kit. I noticed when I went to the store that this kit is currently 37% off! So go grab it now!

Here are my layouts.
