April Vacation Starts

It is official - my kids are on vacation. I have mixed feelings about this. I'm sad to be losing "my" time during the day when Nathan naps, but at the same time, not having to rush out in the morning or afternoon to drop off or pick up the boys will be nice. I have some days planned with stuff to keep them sane, and other days we'll be home just relaxing.

The relaxing started this weekend with scrapping for me. I was able to once again get caught up with my designers' new releases - and some soon to be released kits (which you'll have to wait to see). Let's see, where shall I start?

I'll start with Haynay Designs today since she always seems to be last when I show off kits. Her newest kit is "Happy Birthday to You" that just came out of Friday. It is a great birthday kit. This is definitely one kit you will want to add to your collection.

Here is the layout I made from Alex's 8th birthday last year.

OMG! I completely forgot to tell you guys some real exciting news! Danielle Corbitt is being featured at The Digi Files. Here is the kit she made for the special occasion:

This is the layout I made with it:

One of my designers has been a busy little bee lately. Tracy of Trixie Scraps Designs has made two kits - yes, you read that right two. She partnered up with Sarah Bennett for one kit called "Sunday Afternoon". The colors are just incredible in this kit.

I made this layout of my Great-Grandmother and the boys. My Great-Grandmother just turned 102 years old, I'm so glad my kids were able to meet her. I also used Tracy's new templates called "Star Struck Templates vol : Beth"

The other kit that Tracy made is Defining Me. This is a great kit for all of those layouts we need to start making of ourselves.

Last and certainly not least - Colie has made an awesome playground kit. As soon as I saw it I knew I which picture I had to use.

and you can't forget the matching word art

This was from our vacation to Hershey, PA last year

So that what I've been up to lately. Have a great rest of your Sunday!

New Kits and Layouts

Three of my amazing designers have released some new items this week. I can't wait to show you all how wonderful they are.

First up we have Colie of Colie's Corner. She released a kit call "Working On Me" which allows us scrappers to starting thinking about ourselves and how we need to focus on us. There is also amazing word art you should pick up too. Colie has partnered up with Designs by Danyale - and let me just say WOW.
Here is my layout:

Next up is Tracy of Trixie Scraps Designs. She partnered up with Litabells Designs to make this super sweet kit. One thing most of you should learn about me is my love for elements. I love kits that are packed full of them. Well, this kit is definitely fits in that category. Packed full though is an understatement. Here is A Mother's Love:

When I made my layout I used a template from our CT Blog. If you haven't already you really should check it out. We have tons of challenges, fun posts, and even freebies! You don't want to miss it.

Last but certainly not least, Haynay Designs has come out with a great new template pack called The Basic Template 1. I used one of those templates with her Thoroughly Amused kit which she made with Plum Dumpling Designs to make a layout from our vacation last year to Hershey, PA.

Here is my layout:

Aren't they all great? I'm so lucky to be on their teams and able to play with all of these kits. I just love them all.
