Back to School FREE Printables

If you are like me you are busy buying new clothes, school supplies, stocking the fridge with healthy snacks and anxiously awaiting the start of a new school year.

I love back to school.  I love the excitement of having a fresh start.  The anticipation of finding out who the teachers will be.  And... I will admit, I even love the shopping!

I also, have a part of me that gets a little teary... a new year means a new grade, a year older, and I just long for my baby to stay little for longer.  I want time to stand still. I know all too well that this just doesn't last long enough!

Last year I made a cute sign to take a pic on the first day of school.  I simply printed it, mounted it on a colored card stock and snapped the pics!  I even kept it hanging up with out chore chart for most of the year!  Then on the last day of school I took more pics with a new sign... It was so fun to compare.


Here are the FREE printables I promised.  More grades coming soon.

Grand Opening

I may not have scrapbooked for over a year (maybe 2) but that doesn't mean I have not been busy!  I often make digital items for gifts, lessons, announcements etc.  I finally decided to try to sell some of my creations.  I am so excited to announce my new Etsy shop!

If you are like me, I am sure you have been a HUGE fan of Etsy for a long time.  I often just browse and dream about what I would get if I could.  There are some REALLY amazingly talented people out there.  While I don't claim to be even remotely talented... I decided to try out selling some of my creations.

Please check out my shop and click "like" on the items you would love to have!  I hope to add selections often.
And what kind of Grand Opening would it be without a sale???  Make sure you grab my Patriotic Subway art and use coupon code BIRTHDAY29 for an additional 29% OFF!

As always, I appreciate your support.  Tell and friend and then get your prints ordered.  It is just the right time to decorate for July!!!

I have been MIA

My poor scrapping blog has taken a back seat for over a year!  It is still decorated for fall from 2009!  I have not been MIA but I have rearranged my priorities a little.  Shortly after my last post my mom passed away very unexpectedly, she was only 56.  After that I focused on the more important things in life and let myself heal and grieve etc.  I am back in the scrapping mood.  While I want to share a little of the pages I have made over the last... while... I don't have time to re-do my blog and make it pretty and up to date.  So please enjoy this cute fall background, after all... fall is my favorite time of year so it is fitting that this decor stays.  







I hope these help inspire you and that I will have more to share soon.  
Until then... Happy Scrapping!

Quick Keys

I taught a Digi-scrap class today to a wonderful group of friends!!! It was really fun and I think it went well. One thing that they all commented on is they need a list for all the quick keys I use. So, as I write them all down I thought I would share them with anyone who stops by.

[CNTRL] J = Duplicate Layer

[CNTRL] Z= UNDO

[CNTRL] S = SAVE

[CNTRL] U= Adjust Hue and Saturation

[CNTRL] L= Adjust Levels

[CNTRL] G= Create clipping mask

[CNTRL] N= Create a new document

[CNTRL] O= Open

Those are the ones that I use most often, if I think of any more I will add them. Hope that helps!
Happy Scraping!

Hybrid Goodness

Let me tell you something about me. I love fall. Seriously... I love everything about it. I love the cool crisp air, colorful leaves, the harvesting of my garden, the canning, baking, but most of all I love the decorating! I started putting up my fall decor in my home on August 30th. Sitting in my family room with soft lights on and my fall decor around me takes me to my happy place. I look forward to doing many fun fall things this season.

Here is a little something I made for my work card exchange group. It is a little Chinese take out box that I designed using the kit Corn Maze by Melissa Bennett. i think this is by far my favorite fall kit that I have seen so far this year. I printed these boxes out at Kinkos to get the quality I wanted and then I cut them out and glued them together and filled them with my favorite treat of the season...candy corns! I finished it off with a little embellishment on top. Who wouldn't love to get one of these this time of year? I had the thought that these would be perfect place settings this Thanksgiving. I could just write their names on the from and place them by the plates. Too fun!
I hope you all are starting to feel fall in the air. Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapping on vacation...

I got a few pages done while I was on vacation last week. I still have some more that need a few finishing touches and then I will post them.

I used the kit My shining Star by theresa Borntreger and a T365 template by Haynay


This is a 2-page LO. I used the kit Giddy Up from Nitwit Collections and a template that I flipped horizontally for the mirror image effect. (template designer not known)

While I was gone I missed the chance to post the New Releases from Haynay...

Here is a LO that I did with the Collab kit by Haynay and Purple Tulip called Thoroughly amused.

This is a LO I made with haynays new kit Wild Princess. It was in her SM birthday Grabbag, but if you missed it is now available here. Super cute, fun kit!!!

Hybrid Happiness

I told we that I have been up to some Hybrid stuff and I finally got the pics off the camera so I could post.
This is a gum wrapper that I made for a card exchange at my work. I put bubble gum in there. Yum! Smells good. I used Celebration Kit by GG Designs.

Cute huh! Well... I even thought that a gift card would fit inside this so perfectly for those friends that you like more than $1 worth. (don't get your hopes up friends ;)

I had so much fun making the Birthday Wrapper that I made a TEMPLATE! You got that right! You could have one of these too, and it would take maybe 15 minutes to personalize and print! This will be the first thing that I sell of my digi-scrap stuff!! Look for the paypal button coming soon, or email me and I can email you the link.
Here is another one that I made using my new template!!! I used GG Designs Trooper Kit for this one. I gave these to the scout leader in our pack that went to the Day Camp with the boys. It Says: "Thanks for all the EXTRA things you do!" And yes, I did in fact, put Extra gum inside! The possibilities are endless!

One last thing really quick... I am also in a card group with some ladies in the neighborhood and they are INCREDIBLE!! So I always feel like I have to raise that bar when I make cards for this group! Here is the one I did for this month. They always know mine will be digital somehow. This is just a simple bird on a branch that says: Hello There (my ds favorite line from the movie Up.) The bird is from Kay Miller and I can't remember what kit the branch is from (sorry). I even "chalked" the edges digitally!! Woot! Woot! I printed out the front and mounted it on some card stock, tied a ribbon, and viola! Super Cute Card!
Check back soon for the link to grab your template!!!

New Look

Happy Pioneer Day to my fellow Utahn's! Hope you are enjoying the festivities today!

This blog has definitely been neglected lately. I have been doing a lot of hybrid projects that I still need to post pics of...trust me, I think they are worth the wait. I have started designing again and have a super kit that is almost finished! It needs a few more finishing touches and then you will see it here for the first time hopefully within the week!

To get ready for all these new posts I decided the blog needed a new look. What do you think? I used the Bright Blogwear by Haynay available here at Scrap Matters! It was super easy to do and SUPER cute! If you have hesitated personalizing your blog because HTML codes scare you...y a blogwear kit, they are fool-proof!

Thanks for stopping in! Look forward to some new things soon!

Shhh... Top secret


I can't believe it has been so long since I scrapped. Life has taken other turns lately.


Just thought I would share this sign that I made. A friend of mine has breast cancer and is going through chemo right now. We are all taking a turn at decorating her door while she is at her chemo treatments every 2 weeks. My friend and I have a chance to do this tomorrow and I am so excited for this opportunity to serve her in this small way. Our theme is Just Keep Swimming. We bought a kiddie pool for her boys (she has 4) and we are filling it with water toys for the boys and some special treats for her. TI should be fun, I will take some pics when we are done. I will get back to scrapping soon I hope. and be able to post some new LO!


Remember, top secret until tomorrow!

Playing Catch Up

When I printed out my scrapbook pages last week or so I realized that I was missing some big events, like Christmases and Birthdays etc. I realized that I never scrap these big events, they scare me. I want them to be so perfect, and I have so many pictures, but I don't want a ton of pages either. So, I just skip them.

This month, my goal is to get caught up. I looked through my scrapbook and I am filling in the blanks! Here is what I started with.

Above LO using Can I be Frank from Nitwit CollectionsAbove and below Lo using a template from Haynay and Batty for you by GG designs
