Sherwood Studio

I am so excited to see the Sherwood Studio store at The Digichick. This is the designer formally desigining under the name Julie. It is. Julie is a local designer, and I even got to meet her once for some scrapping time. I use her kits a lot for my camping photos, but they work well for any layout since she has a lot of variety.

Here is a layout I did recently using Licorice Parfait:



And another using Colorado Cliffs:

Well, it seems October is going by fast, I guess because we are fairly busy lately! Today Owen had a 9:00 a.m. soccer game in Longmont, and then Declan had a morning game, also. We came home for a quick lunch before heading out to Declan's roller skating party. I think it went well overall, although some of the kids had never skated before and some took it more than others! After the party, we came home again for a brief time. Declan was able to play with some of of his new toys, but then we had to head out to the Rapids game. I enjoy watching soccer, so I liked it, but it was pretty loud the kids were up later than they probably should have been considering we had an early start to the day! Tomorrow are the last baseball games. I think Declan is sad about that, but Owen is ready to be done with it since he struck out again last week. We may do Declan's family birthday tomorrow night since Monday we have soccer practice and one of those high school trick-or-treat things to go to. He picked Qdoba for his birthday dinner, and I just need to make him a cake. I also need to figure out something to give him for his birthday!

It seems like there are a lot of changes lately for my digital scrapping teams. One of my favorite designers is changing stores and her name, from Julie. It is. to Sherwood Studios. I can't wait for her new store at the DigiChick to open! A couple other designers are taking a break and I resigned from a couple teams, so I am cutting back a little. I still have plenty of great kits to work with, though! Here are some recent layouts:
Using Moonlit Beach by Starving Artist Designs:

Using Country Hayride by Spinky Dink Scraps:

Using Harbistoz by Jen Maddocks Designs (another local designer!)

Battle of the Creative Teams

I am participating in the Battle of the Creative Teams Contest for Pixiemama Designs.

If you are inclined to vote for our team, here is the link.
Thank you!

There are five of us on the team, and we each had to do a layout using whatever Pixiemama kit we wanted following a specific recipe. Here's mine:

October

And so begins one of my favorite months of the year! It is still a little hot here to think of it as fall, but I'm hoping it's just around the corner. So what is going on with me? I have been enjoying my volunteer time at the school library this year, and I know I need to get in there and help in the classrooms, but I am just happy to be a pretend librarian at the moment. My mom is visiting and helped in Declan's class this morning and will be helping in Owen's class on Monday. My work schedule got changed back to Wednesdays starting this week, so I will be able to go on a field trip with Owen's class, if I get the form in early. They are only taking a certain number of parents because they are taking the bus and there isn't much extra room. Declan has his first field trip of the year on Monday, but they didn't ask for any parent volunteers for that one. I have two recorder performances this weekend, both local, which is nice. Next weekend we are all trekking down to the Springs for the last performance of this year. I am working on a complete revision of one of the recorder websites that I maintain. I need to just get it put together and worry about finessing the design later. Anything will be an improvement on the old site! I took it over from someone many years ago and never really did much in the way of re-designing. I have been busy with my digital layouts, but I am also looking forward to working on some paper cards with my mom on Monday while the kids are at school. I am hoping to get a start on my Christmas cards. I haven't made any cards for some time now. I didn't realize how much of the social aspect I enjoyed until my stamping buddy moved away and I had no one to stamp with :(

Anyway, here are some recent layouts:


This uses Memory Lane by Jen C Designs.


This is using Christmas Hugs by Flutterbye Faery Designs


This uses Romantic Blues by Alexis Designs

I am excited about all the fall kits coming out right now. One that I got to work recently is called Fruits of Fall by Flower Scraps. It is available at both her Digiscrap Obsession and her Stuff To Scrap stores.



Here is the layout I did:
