Sharing some new creations etc.

WOW its been a long time since i've posted! a lot going on at home... trying to finish up the official school year, get our summer plan going, figure out curriculum for next year... get the house in passable shape.. And of course, been scrapping up a storm! I'm feeling like i accomplished a lot this month, i made almost 50 layouts this month. did several online crops, which of course bumped up my totals a LOT, and had a lot of fun doing it. I killed ALL my scrap-room kits this month, and by the way, i'm loving the scrap-room model of kits! i get 2 or 3 out of each kit and can add in embellies as needed, which is nice becuase i have a pretty good stash. then i can decide if i like a page kit enough to by more, like in the case of the BG Sugared which i LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOVE and must have more.

A page in time is similar. Instead of 4 smaller page kits you get 3 larger ones.. so you can get LOTS of layouts and still have a variety of 3. I like to add my own carstock, since i have a stash, and that stretches my patterned paper, but in my DT designs, i used mostly just the kit, but if you add cardstock and embellies you can stretch those babies like CRAZY!! here are the kit creations from the DT of A Page in Time which are up! i had an AWESOME time working on this kit!

Ok, so finally, i'll post a few examples of what i've been working on... nothing earth shattering but fun, and cute i think :-)

This used one of my back ScrappersXchange kits, which by the way ROCK!!! these are the bedrock of my stash. Her kits are $35 shipped and last you FOREVER! which i like! i love having a stash to refer back to. and while you are there, check out the
gallery
where she hosts challenges every week with awesome prizes and periodic crops and monthly contests!!! while i certainly do enjoy winning every other week or so, its only fair to share the wealth, so come check it out!!!

Anyway, this layout used one of my back kits from Scrappersxchange



ok, i absolutely love this one!



here's some with my last couple personal scrapper kits




Journaling reads-
That the course of my life is so drastically different than i ever could have planned. When i was in high school, i planned to go to a prestigious college, be a high powered trial attorney and have a maid. Little did i know that God had other plans for me. I also didn't know how His plan would change me and how wonderful my life would be.
