Scrapbooksteals.com's October Blog Hop with My Mind's Eye Titles, Quotes & Die Cuts Mega Pack





I love to scrapbook, but really struggle with card making. Today's steal on Scrapbooksteals.com My Mind's Eye Titles, Quotes & Die Cuts Mega Pack- is the absolute best thing for me to make cards with. I was super excited when Melodee asked me to participate in the blog hop because I have been eyeing this Mega Pack when I have seen it before and have never been too sure about it. Well, let me just say that is packed full of so much goodness that you could easily use it for a million different things.  

If you checked out the steal, you noticed that this pack is just huge. My first step was to separate all the pieces into their various MME lines. Once that was done, I grabbed my card blanks and small stack and got to work.

With just what was included in the pack, card blanks and inks, I was able to create all these cards. Easiest card making ever!





I am excited to add this bunch of cards to my stash so I can quite stressing about running out.  If you still aren't sure about the awesomeness of this kit, here is what I have left: 
There is still plenty left to make lots and lots of more cards.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are enjoying the Blog Hop.  Be sure to head over to Heather's blog next and check out some more awesome projects. And remember, 1 lucky commenter on one of the blogs in the hop will win a $20 Gift certificate to Scrapbooksteals.com so be sure to leave a comment!

We R Memory Keepers Feelin' Groovy on Scrapbooksteals.com

I am over on Scrapbooksteals.com Blog today featuring the awesome We R Memory Keepers collection "Feelin Groovy". It was a ton of fun to use and made for some super easy cards and a layout. Head over and enjoy!


Kiwi Lane September Blog Hop



It is sad to think that this is my final blog hop with Kiwi Lane as a Design Team member. I have greatly enjoyed my time with them. As sad as it is, I am really excited for the incoming Design Team. There such awesome talent in the new ladies and I am so excited to see all their new ideas and projects. Be sure to stick around Kiwi Lane because it is going to be awesome!

Now that all that sentimental stuff is out of the way, on to the Blog Hop!  For my layout, I used some Strips, Sunnybrook Lane, Journey, and Tiny Brackets, all of which are lots of fun.


The Journey templates were perfect in so many ways to document our fun family mini road trip. 

The suitcase template is perfect for journaling. The possibilities with these templates are endless. Be sure to come back later this month to see how I use these templates in a different way.

Scrapbooksteals.com August Blog Hop- 7 Gypsies ATC cards



I seriously love blog hop days. I love seeing everyone's awesome ideas and am always so inspired. When Melodee contacted me about participating in the blog hop and that the featured scrapbooking product was 7 Gypsies ATC cards, I knew I was in for a challenge. I have only used ATC's once to make ATC's and nothing else. I scoured my shelves of crafting supplies and found a small acrylic album that was the perfect size for the ATC's.


If you have been following my blog lately, you have discovered my growing obsession with mini albums. Today's project is no exception. :)

Using Teresa Collins "Fabrications" Collection, Authentique "Festive" Elements, assorted jewels, and washi, I created a mini Instagram album to document each activity we do for the 25 days of Christmas.


For each day there is a spot for the picture and the opposite page is for journaling.The ATC's were awesome to use to add in the extra memories and notable events.  I will use them to record parties we went to, friends and family we had over, presents the kids received, spiritual moments, and anything else that is memorable and deserves recording.






Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have enjoyed all the projects and just remember
