Family TV Favorites

Scrapping is about documenting some of life's little details, right? This page is a lift from my talented digi friend Jennifer Papadimitriou using one of my favorite kits - Stay Tuned by One Little Bird and a digi staple, In Stitches Neutral Basics by Robyn Meierotto and the "Total Binge Watching" was a freebie from Jen's Scraptales blog

Happy Happy Day! (Scrapping a last day of school field trip!)

Scrapping a fun end of school memory! I can't believe my baby is going to be a high schooler next year!

The Path Less Traveled (Pixels & Co. Dollar Days)

Celebrating spring with an herb garden

My daughter enjoyed having a potted herb garden summer before last. Then last summer we were gone for a couple weeks early in the summer so we never got around to planting one. We definitely missed it! So, this summer my husband found some plans from a This Old House magazine and the two of them built a raised garden this summer. She's loving it! So am I!

Bring on the Party | A Birthday Celebration at Osaka Hibachi Grill

I used Sabrina's Creations (at Pixels and Company's) Hooray kit.

Celebrating Easter | Everyday Flair kit by Creashens

It's Saturday night and I'm sitting here scrapping and watching TV with my son. One-on-one time with the teenage kid ... that's a good thing!

Now for scrappy talk ... For these pages I used Everyday Flair kit by creashens and the kraft title was created with a Bebas font using Essential Styles by Mommyish (a Dollar Day Special at Pixels & Co. during the month of July) at Pixels and Company. I'm really loving (and using a lot!) this styles set. Seriously ... great stuff!





Digi Project Life | Week 27

This week's Project Life pages were fun to create because besides all the everyday family moments I love to document, I also got to include memories of being at the resort (and at the lake) over the 4th of July.

FYI ... Mye De Leon and Just Jaimee released a bright and cheerful kit today called "Beat the Heat". It was perfect for this week's Project Life pages!

Project Life | Week 26 (Check out Pixels & Co.'s Dollar Days Specials!)

Have I mentioned that I love P&Co's Dollar Days? I'm a huge fan of Scotty Girl Designs' This Year 2014 collections for my Project Life pages. If you want to check 'em out, a few of the parts of this collection are available for $1 this month!

For these pages I used: This Year 2014 Vacation collection by Scotty Girl Designs (including alphabets, brushes, elements, journal cards, square journal cards, labels, papers, word art, add on papers, veneer bits and flairs). The brushes and journal cards are available now on the Dollar Days special and the add on papers, veneer bits and flairs will be coming soon as Dollar Day specials!


I also used Mommyish's Essential Styles (I used the wire & epoxy styles) which are also only $1 this month. (I'm starting to use styles on my pages a lot more these days! They're pretty awesome ... I wish I'd have known about them years ago!)

Here's a page I created for the fun Digi Morph game at Pixels and Company using: Karla Dudley Design's Take Notes Elements, Devoted kit, and Irresistible The Frame Stamps along with pink trike design' (Robyn Meierotto) Chalkboard Frames.

I'm usually sharing pages with photos of my kiddos now (at 14 & 17) ... it was super fun for me to scrap a page of them way back when they were little! Where has the time gone?

These digi morph games are so fun! If you want to take part in the next Digi Morph game at P&Co., keep an eye on the Digi Talk forums!
