I did these pages with a new kit by Marni Designs that came out at Brownie Scraps on Monday called Love Gingham.

I was also featured in the CT spotlight at Pixiemama Designs blog. I made a template as a freebie, so go over there and snag it if you like it! I may post it here next week, just since I've never done that before.

I did a page last night when I saw that Julie. It is. had a new kit out called Well Worn. I found these photos from our visit to the museum on Sanibel, not this past trip, but from two years ago.

I also got the good news this week that Sugar Pie Scraps is getting a new store, opening soon! I have one page done with one of her templates, and hope to get some more done soon.

Marni Designs release is coming on Monday instead of today.

I am participating in a blog hop to celebrate Pixiemama's one year design anniversary. Come back tomorrow morning for a challenge and a chance to win a gift certificate to her store!

These are the layouts I did with Marni Designs new kits Little Boy Blue and Little Buddy. I think I will be using Little Boy Blue to scrap the rest of my 4th of July pictures since the colors match the outfits the kids were wearing that day.

Marni Designs has two new kits coming out tomorrow. I have a sneak peek for one of them. I had an easy time working with these since they are both boy-themed with great colors. I can't wait to post my layouts tomorrow!

These are my Color Me Happy layouts. The softball one was a challenge at Digital Scrap Cafe to use no background paper. That was different for me!

Marni Designs has a new collaboration kit with Anja J Designs coming out. It's called Color Me Happy. It will be available at Brownie Scraps starting tomorrow!

As promised, these are my layouts using Peaceful by Marni Designs.

Marni Designs has a new kit coming out on Friday called Peaceful. This is a sneak peek of what it will look like. I will post my layouts then!

These are two pages I made with the new Marni Designs kit called Be Mine, which was released today. My challenge was to use it for something other than Valetine's Day, since I don't have a lot of those photos to scrap. Luckily it works for many occasions!

This a sneak peek for a new kit coming out tomorrow by Marni Designs. It's called Be Mine.

It seems that Scrapable is back up with new and better owners. However, since none of my CT designers are in the store there anymore, I will probably be an infrequent visitor. It was the first forum I became active in, but after they started to have issues, I found some other cool forums to get involved in. One of them was BrownieScraps, where I was recently lucky enough to be accepted on a CT for one of my favorite designers there, Marni Designs! I can't wait to get started with her new kits, and I have already used one of her older ones on a few layouts when I first got it a couple months ago.

Next week is a busy one at school for the kids. They have the 100th Day party and then the Valentine party the next day, and lastly the Friday and Monday off from school. I am trying to see if Owen's piano teacher has an opening on a different day because Owen wants to take another after-school drama class, which is on the same day as his piano lesson. Hopefully it will work out, or he'll have to make a choice about which one he wants to do. Soccer will be starting after spring break, so I am already dreading those weeks!
