Always and Forever

It's been a while since I've shown you a kit from Digital Scrap Cafe.  Things are going to change over there a little bit.  Fridays are new release days and there's going to be a newsletter.  So today I have a new release to show you.  It's by one of the new designers there, Dutsji Designs.  Her kit is called Always and  Forever.  It's a gorgeous kits of purples with some yellow greens and creams.  I knew I had to work with it because my niece's favorite color is purple!  Luckily I had a perfect picture to scrap with this sweet kit.

Here's my layout.

Eeks! I'm Scared!

So I know tomorrow is Easter but I just finished scrapping my Halloween pictures from last year.   If you are like me who is behind but trying to catch up with scrapping, then I have the perfect Halloween kit for you!  I found this great kit at Digital Scrap Cafe called Eeks!  I'm Scared! by Aprilisa Designs and Pixelily Designs.  It worked perfectly for my Halloween pictures.  Here's a look at the kit.

Here are my Halloween layouts.

Fire-Fighter

I'm in the scrapping mode again so I can order up another book for my kids before the sale ends today (not sure if I'm going to make it but we'll see-I also think the sale might be extended given the history of this company's sales).  I had some pictures of my kids at the fire station open house and I found the perfect kit at Digital Scrap Cafe to work with!  Actually there were 2 fire fighter kits and it was hard to chose!  This one is called Fire-Fighter by Catia Cuhna.   It's on sale for $1 right now! How can you pass that up?

Here's my layout. I loved using various fire fighter elements.  I wish I could have used more.

Relax

I'm participating in a contest called the Amazing Digi-Scrapping Race (ADSR).  I'm a huge Amazing Race fan and I thought this contest sounded fun.  Every week there are 2 challenges that we have to complete and the challenges are hosted at various sites throughout digi scrapping land.  Our theme this year is family so the challenges have helped me get some scrapping done!  Last week's challenge was to scrap a page about what we would do without our families for a day.  There were also recipes to use.  I chose the recipe with no pictures and write about visiting a spa for a day.  Here's what I came up with.

I used a gorgeous, zen-like kit called Relax by Three Hearts Digital Designs which can be found at Digital Scrap Cafe.  Here's a look at the kit.

Affection

There is a big spring clean up sale over at Digital Scrap Cafe.  You should check it out!  There are a lot of great kits that are retiring.  One of them is Affection by Aprilisa Designs.  It's a love/Valentine's Day kit but the colors are just so gorgeous that the kit is really versatile.  I really love the bright deep purplish pink combined with light blue, gray and pink.  Beautiful!  Here's a look at the kit which is now just $1.60!!!

Here's my layout.

Pumpkin Harvest

Spring is right around the corner here but I'm busy scrapping fall pictures!  LOL  I am frantically scrapping again to get a book done by Thursday and I just realized tonight that it's not going to get done by Thursday.  I have too many pictures left to scrap, plus I need to make some kits to go along with the photos, plus I'm in a design contest so it's just not going to happen!  Hopefully they'll have a good sale on the books in another month or two.  While I was busy scrapping October's pictures, I grabbed Pumpkin Harvest by Dream Big Designs at Digital Scrap Cafe.  I fell in love with the touch of the icy blue along with the usual oranges and browns of pumpkin kits.  Here's a look at the kit.

Gorgeous, right? Plus the elements are just awesome!  I made 2 layouts with this kit and I could have made more!

Around the Town

I've been frantically scrapping these days to try to finish up a book to print by Thursday (as I have a coupon for a great deal!) but I don't think I'm going to get it done :(  I have too much designing to do as well.  While I was frantically scrapping I grabbed Around the Town by Double Dutch Designs from Digital Scrap Cafe. I just loved this cars and trucks themed kit.  My kids love trucks recently so this was perfect to scrap them at Touch a Truck last fall.  Here's a look at the kit.

Here's my layout.

Monsters in My Closet

Laurie's Scraps has such a cute kit in her store called Monsters in My Closet.  I just love monsters and these colors are fantastic.  Right now it's 40% off because Laurie's closing her store at Digital Scrap Cafe on the 15th of the month.  Hurry over and grab this kit while it's on sale!  Here's a look at Monster in My Closet.

I also had the chance to work with one of Laurie's Scraps' template sets.  Her template sets are awesome!  Here's Template Set 10.

Here are my layouts.

Birthday Fun

I worked with another great kit at Digital Scrap Cafe called Birthday Fun by Laurie's Scraps.  This kit is a fabulous birthday kit!  It's great for a little girl's birthday photos of her party.  There are also boy colors in it too, so it could work for both!  Laurie's Scraps is closing her store at Digital Scrap Cafe the middle of this month so you better hurry to go grab this kit.  The good news is that everything is on sale so you can get this kit for a great price! Here's a look at it.

Here's my layout.

Hello Sunshine

I worked with a great kit at Digital Scrap Cafe called "Hello Sunshine" by Aprilisa Designs.  I just love her kits!  Hello Sunshine can be purchased just as a kit or you can purchase the bundle which has word labels and an alpha with it.  Here's a look at the kit and the bundle.

Here are my layouts.

I Know Why and Scraplift Challenge

I've been offering you freebie QPs made with kits from Digital Scrap Cafe for a while now but I no longer will be offering them.  They've done away with their QP team so now I'm on their creative team.  So that means I still get to show you many of the wonderful kits that are in their store.   I worked with a kit called "I Know Why" by Caged Bird Designs.  I just loved the colors and all the birds in this kit.  Here's a look at the kit.

Here's my layout.

My layout is a scraplift of KsCroppyChick.  I chose her layout to scraplift for this week's scraplift challenge.  If you complete this challenge you get a set of clusters that I made using the kit I showed you above.  Here's the look at the prize.

Go to the forum HERE to check out the details and I hope to see your layouts so you can win this prize!

Freebie QP and $2 Tuesday

I've got a freebie QP for you from Digital Scrap Cafe. I'm sure most of you are like me and still have some summer pictures to scrap, so I decided to use a beach kit called A la Plage by Elker W. Designs. It has so many great beachy elements but you could definitely use this kit for other layouts too. I think this kit would be awesome for newborn baby pictures! Here's a look at it.

Pretty, huh? Here's my layout which I turned into a freebie QP for you.

Autumn Daydream

Caged Bird Designs just opened her store up at Digital Scrap Cafe. I took a look through it and found this wonderful collab kit called "Autumn Daydream." It has beautiful rich colors and some wonderful fall elements. But you can use this kit for so much more than just fall pictures. Here's a look at the kit.

JayBird Street

I am such a sucker for orange, green and light blue together so when I saw the kit JayBird Street by Dream Big Designs at Digital Scrap Cafe, I knew I wanted to work with it. I love the colors with the addition of black and I love the bird elements. I'm loving birds recently too. I have plans to make a kit with birds, I just haven't started yet because other things keep coming up. LOL. Anyways, here's a look at JayBird Street.

Here's my layout. I scraplifted a layout by Jessica (scrapjrlgcp) at Stuff to Scrap.
