Mark you calendars...

... it's that time of the year. Linda at The Shaker Box is hosting another on-line crop! The last one was a blast with challenges, game and penty of prizes. Hope to see you there!

August Guest Designer

As you can see by the posts on my blog, it's been a busy summer. I find it hard to keep myself locked in my scraproom when the weather is so beautiful. Even so, I have had some time to work on a few projects, cards and to make some custom scrapbooks for a friend.

The month of August brings me another opportunity to be a Guest Designer for The Shaker Box kit club. Linda, the owner, put beautiful kits together and loads them with tons of goodies. As a subscriber you get some great project sheets too! Stay tuned to see what layouts and other items I create with the delicious August kit.

Revealing Day!

I'm so excited and pleased to be able to share my Life Preserver's Club kit creations. While I still have some projects in the works, I did finish three layouts and posted them in the Design Team gallery on the site. The June alternate kit is beautiful and I've had a great time playing with it.

Take a few minutes and join the club so you too can start enjoying the spectacular kits and active message board. The sneak peek is already out there for July and there's lots to chose from!

Doing a Happy Dance!

I found out today that I've been selected to be a guest designer for the month of June for an amazing kit club, Life Preserver's Club. Each month, an individual is selected to receive one of the delicious kits that Von puts together. The design team at LPS is so talented that I am honored to be able to participate. I will be stalking my mailbox for the next couple of days, waiting for that Priority Mail box. Here's the kit that I will be using for my projects. Did I tell you that I was excited???

I've been working on an album for my friend Brooke. It will be for her youngest daughter, Claire. This photo was stunning and I had to make the page special. The coordinating page contains a couple more photographs and a pocket that holds the sonigram shots of the baby. I think I may go ahead and cover the polka dotted circle with some glossy accents, but am still thinking about it.

Amazing Kit

Today was a happy, scrappy mail day! My The Shaker Box monthly kit arrived and is jam packed with beautiful papers from Webster's Pages. Linda has out-done herself this time selecting the perfect embellishments too. If you haven't visited the site and the gallery, you are missing some great work.

While you are there, check out the project kit she currently has available in her store!

It's adorable!!!

My friend Pinky did a great job putting this together.

May Sketch

It's been a busy month with jury duty, teaching and vacation. I haven't had much time to scrap, but was able to get a few cards made for Mother's Day. Hopefully, I can spend some time in my scraproom over the next few days. Rainy days are good for my creativity.

One item I did put together was this sketch. My friend Von, at Life Preserver's Club wanted something she could use on the site this month. I typically like to make sketches with a 5x7, but thought this was a little different. Hopefully they like it on the site and I can't wait to check out their gallery!
