A Scrappin' Machine!

Hey there! I guess it's time to update the blog with some new layouts! I just didn't have the gumption to post last Friday.....so I guess you get a whole boatload of LO's today!
First off, here are two layout using Haynay Designs TWO new releases today. Heather wanted to create a new volleyball kit, but couldn't decide on the color scheme. So what did she do??? she created TWO kits!!! AMAZING!!!

First is "Dig In The Sand." This is a beach volley ball kit and is really cute. It also matches Haynay's "Diamond All-Stars" kit! Mixy-matchy.....love it!!

The second kit is "Side Out." It is a bright volleyball kit that just happens to match Haynay's "Triple Play Sports Pack!
And as you can see, both kits are great for non-volleyball layouts as well!

Next up is a layout I did using a new collab. kit out today by Sahlin Studio and DeCrow Designs called "Play." They've also created an Alpha and word art pack to go along with this fun kit.

Molly of DeCrow Designs is a guest designer at ScrapMatters for the month of September. She has some great products and I used one of her templates for this layout of Noah. (Also using "Dessert" by Juno Designs.)



This one is using a new release today from WM[square] Designs called "Gypsy Girl." I also used "Building Blocks Templates, vol.2" from Chelle's Creations also new in the store today. (Buy both sets and SAVE!)



This is using a really pretty kit from Stolen Moments called "Pure Perfection." Amber of Stolen Moments is a new designer at SM and is really talented. Check out her stuff!


For this one I used "Bright Sunny Day" by MickeyB Designs. It really IS a bright, sunny kit......very cute!

This one is with my new favorite Fall kit......Autumn Blush by Jennifer Barrette Designs. It has such rich colors and I just love it!
I'm REALLY excited to be hosting my first challenge over at ScrapMatters.....Roadmap To Scrap! It just began today and you have all month to complete the challenge. Check it out and come play along! Here is the layout I created for the challenge......using "D Is For Dog" by WM[squared] Designs and "We're Just Dating, vol.2" by Britt-ish Designs.

And last, but most certainly not least, is a layout that I did that is really special to me because of the wonderful memory it tells about. I think I eluded to the amazing experience we had at the dunes in Michigan when we visited family there back in August. Still get teary when I think aboout it.
Here's the layout.......


I used a great kit from Erica Zane called "Sail Away." In case you can't read it, here is the journaling:
"At Warren Beach State Park Mike decided he wanted to try and carry Sam to the top of the huge dune. He made it about 3/4 of the way up and began to lose steam. He and Sam sat down on a log. A young man made hisway over to to Mike and asked if he could help him get Sam to the top. Mike hesitated, but realized he could not do it on his own. A group of the young man’s friends gathered around, cheering them on and taking turns carrying Sam ....all the way to the top! We will never forget that day.......the blessing we received from the kindness of strangers and the lessons learned about humility and our own weaknesses."
It was a day I will NEVER forget because they don't come around every day.
Okay, I think that's it! I gotta quite because, GADS, it's almost lunchtime!!! Sam is still home with me so I need to throw together some grub for my little man.
Have a great scrappin' weekend!!!
