Just realized I hadn't shared these layouts with you guys. Both are made with DeDe Smith's newest kits.

The first is from her Not So Scarey kit. It was so much fun to work with. I love the scare"mice" and the funny pumkins. I blended two of the background papers to get the effect I wanted for the background of the LO. I just love the tree with the Mickey ear leaves too. You can find this kit at Digitals, iScrapbook, and 3Scrapateers.

The second LO is an addition to her Ahoy There MateyZ kits and is a DollZ. I had a blast working with these and can see a lot of other ideas coming from it - including a hybrid paper dolls - just got to find a little girl to give them too. Hope you like these LOs.

Woo - Hoo, I'm Amanda Thorderson's CT at Digitals

I'm so excited. I'm Amanda's CT this month at Digitals. And her new kit is awesome to say the least. I love it, but then I love all Amanda's kits. You've got to go to her store and check them out. The kit I used for this layout is called Remembering You and is brand spanking new in her store. It's romantic, vintage, and perfectly perfect in every way. You're gonna love it too. Hope you love the layout I made using this kit too. Can't wait to upload more with this great kit.

Ahoy There MateyZ

DeDe Smith has a new kit out. It's called Ahoy There MateyZ and if you haven't already guessed is a pirate themed kit. There are several items to go with it - A Brag Book, a set of Quick Pages, an Add-on Kit, some Stacked papers to get your layout off to a great start, a set of DollZ, you've got to see them. And I know once you've seen them you will be hooked. You can find the kit at Digitals, 3 Scrapateers, iScrapbook (coming soon). Here's one of the LO's I've done with this great kit. It's called Sweetest Treasure.

September CT Shares for Digitals and updates on my life

OMG Guys, September came and went and I've been so busy I can't see straight. Mom's getting weaker and weaker and I don't know how much longer I will have her with me but I'm trying to cherish everyday I have while praying God will do what is best in handling her pain. While I know I will be rocked to the my very core when it comes her time to go, I think I will be able to handle it as it breaks my heart to see her suffer so. She's fought a long and hard battle and has nothing but more pain and physical suffering left for her on this earth but oh the wonders that await her on the other side. For those of you out there who pray, please keep our family in thoughts and prayers as we need all the love, support, and strenght to make it through the days ahead of us.

As for my Scrap life. I had a LO published in Digitals October Magazine / Newletter. Toot, Toot. It was one of my CT LOs for DeDe Smith and is entitled Family Is.... I used DeDe's Believe in the Magic Kit.

My September Digitals CT assignment was Kathryn Estry. She has a ton of awesome kits and I love everything she does. I know you will too. I chose to use her Cookout Ant-ics Kit and her Classic Romance - in Pink kit as I was scrapping a picnic and a wedding. Both kits are awesome. Cookout Ant-ics is so fun and playful and filled with these precious little ants who are into everything. Classic Romance is the perfect wedding, engagement, couples, love - kit. It comes in several different colors so I'm sure you can find one to match your wedding needs.

These pictures were made during our Labor Day Pinic at a state park nearby. My GS and DD had a blast as you can tell by the pictures.

These pictures were made at a dear friends wedding. I thought the kit was perfect for them.

Believe in the Magic

I've got two more LO's to share with you guys. They are from DeDe Smith's Believe in the Magic kit and of course I had to scrap some more Disney's pics with them. Hope you like.

CT Layouts with Happily Ever AfterZ Wishes Of The Heart

My second kit for CT duties at Digitals this month was Happily Ever AfterZ Wishes of the Heart. DeDe is really outdoing herself with these Happily Ever AfterZ kits. They are awesome and perfect for any little Princess or Prince. You really need to check out this kit and all DeDe's other kits in this collection in her store at Digitals or at her blog.

I did three layouts with this kit. The first one is called Our Cinderella and is of my DD when she was 6 as Little Miss Georgia Forestry Queen. The second on is called Princess and is of my DD at 4 or 5 getting ready to compete in a talent contest. This layout was done as part of Digitals' Sketchy Details Challenge. The last one is called Cinderella's Castle and features my DD this past April standing in front of Cinderella's Castle at Disney World.

I'm On DeDe Smith's TearZ Crew

I'm so excited. While I was lucky enough to get to be DeDe Smith's CT this month at Digitals, I also submitted a few layouts in hopes of becoming a new CT member for DeDe Smith. Boy was I surprised to see the email in my box today saying I was one of 7 chosen out of 32 who applied. I can't wait to get my new blinkie up on my blog and in my siggies.

CT Layouts for DeDe Smith

This month at Digitals I was assigned to scrap for DeDe Smith. I was so excited as I have loved DeDe's work for a long time. I'm especially a big fan of her new collection Happily Ever AfterZ. I love Disney and these kits go along with the Disney animated movies. Add to that DeDe is having a CT call right now and I'm crossing my fingers that I will get to work with her on a more regular basis. It would be a dream assignment for me but either way, I get to work with an awesome designer this month.

The first kit I scrapped for her was Neverland - needless to say it's one of my favorite. I'm a big kid at heart and idea of never growing up has always intrigued me. Well maybe I would like to be an adult, just stuck in my twenties, with a great body, perfect health, no aches and pains - you get it.

You can find Neverland along with the rest of DeDe's kits at Digitals or at her blog. She also sells her designs at 3Scrappers.com, Divine Digitals, iScrapbook and ScrapWow and in her blog store.

You can also find larger pics of my LO's in my main gallery at Digitals, along with most of my other galleries.

So without any more delays, here's my layouts.

The first LO is called Disney 09. The pics are of my DD with several of the Pixies at Disney's new Pixie Hollow at Disney.

The 2nd LO is called Tink and is of my DD with Tinkerbell, her favorite Disney charactor.

The 3rd is entitled "Mommy, Why Can't I Fly". My GS isn't quiet old enought to sit through an entire movie yet but he did manage to sit through most of Peter Pan when I dragged the old VCR out to watch it with him the other day. He just couldn't understand why Pan could fly but he couldn't. When we told him you had to have Pixie Dust, he wanted us to get him some.

The 4th LO is called "I Won't Grow Up." When I got this kit those words keep running through my mind. The best part of growing up for me was having my daughter and now my grandson. But oh how I wish I could keep him just like he is now forever with the exception of being potty trained of course. I don't know how he feels about this but I'm sure he would go along with is Moo on it.

The last LO is called Neverland and features my GS sleeping below Peter, Tink and the Darling children as they fly off to Neverland. Maybe he is dreaming of going to Neverland on an adventure of his own.

I have also chosen DeDe's A Wishes Of The Heart, which features Cinderella and Believe in Magic Kit which is a basic Disney kit with BearZ

in Mouse ears. I will post these later this month.

As for the freebie I promised. I've finally got all my files back loaded on my computer from Carbonite and will load the kit in the next day or two. It's one of my best kits yet and I can't wait to share it with you.

This computer crash has made me oh so thankful that I subscribed to Carbonite a few months back. I want to encourage you to subscribe to Carbonite or a similar online backup site. We all know that it's not if our computer will crash but when and this way all your precious pictures, layouts, important documents and files will be safe.
