Calendar Collection March

Well, I really must catch up a bit here! I went away for the weekend, so I am a bit behind with everything :) I also haven't shown you my P365 photos for a little while, so this post is to tell you about my latest release and catch you up with all the photos as well as let you have a freebie!

First up is the March instalment of my Calendar Collection which comes in a bundle that looks like this....

The bundle is just $3 and you can buy it here. Check out what my CT have done using this bundle and bits from the two previous bundles (the greatest part of the fact that the colour scheme runs through).

Fantastic stuff hey? And here is a catch up on my photos for P365 - this is week 5 through 7.....

I can't believe I am keeping up - I am really impressed with myself :) And now as you've got this far, time for the freebie - another template for P365 which includes a psd file and individual png files for those that prefer that option. Click here to download and don't forget to leave a comment - I love reading them. TTFN.

Guest CT layout

Oh my gosh I am late and in a fluster!! LOL! I am going away this weekend and I won't have internet, so I am having palpitations considering work is so busy this week and free time is definitely at a premium. I just popped on during lunch to let you see a guest CT layout.

Meet Heather who played with my latest kit 'Boys Will be Boys' - this is what Heather says about herself:

I'm 40yrs old been married for 12 yrs and we have 3 wonderful boys Dylan 17; Tyler 10 and Jacob 6 . I love to crochet, take pictures and digital scrapbooking.




And this is Heather's fabulous, super cute layout:

Thanks for guesting on my CT Heather - I love what you did and I hope you had fun with the kit :) TTFN.

Some paper layouts to show off

I have really been enjoying some paper scrapping recently - I thought it was time to start using up some of my stash because when we move later in the year, I don't want too much to pack!! LOL! So, with the ScrapaGoGo January kit, I made two more layouts. The first is of little Tayla reading a book - she loves stories and my Mum is collecting a series for her. As she's only recently 3, she can't read them herself yet, she just really looks at the pictures, but I think she's going to be a bookworm when she's older like her Mum (and me) :)

And this one features the gorgeous Pompey (one of my photos of the day for P365) - he is such a gorgeous dog isn't he?

Anyhoo - that's it for today - thanks for looking! TTFN.

Boys will be boys!

I had a kit with this name a long time ago, but it was such a good name, I used it again!! This kit is totally different though and I hope you're going to love it! It's bright and fun and great for all sorts of layouts. Check out what Boys Will Be Boys looks like....

And check out what my awesome CT did with it.

I have a freebie for you too - it's a word art which coordinates with the kit - I hope you can use it and if you really like it, you might consider buying the kit here too :) Download it direct from my blog here. TTFN.

Funky Love collab

Have you seen the Scrap That Idea store collab this month? It's called Funky Love and is just perfect for those valentine layouts that we'll all be making next week ;)

This is what Funky Love looks like:

And this is what my creative team did with it - absolutely stunning as always!

If you like it, it's just $4 in store here and if you check out our dollar bin too while you're there and spend $5 in total in store, you get Doodly Doo for free! Bargain hey? TTFN

Guest CT layout with 911 Rescue

I am so bad at keeping up to date lately, I totally forgot to show you what Brooke, my guest CT of the week did with my latest kit - 911 Rescue! Firstly, let me introduce Brooke:

Hi, I'm Brooke! I'm a SAHM to a fabulous hubby, 5 adorable kids, 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 lizard, and several fish (the number varies from week to week). I started digi-scrapping about 2 1/2 years ago, and have found a new passion in life! I LOVE it!! When I'm not digi-scrapping, you can find me playing with my family, working in my yard, reading a book, singing, dancing, camping or on a road trip across the country! I am also a Disney Freak!

Take a look at this GORGEOUS layout that she did for me - I LOVE it Brooke - thank you so, so much!

Challenge time again

So, who is ready for another challenge? This challenge involves song titles. I want you to create a layout with a song title as the layout title. Simple - you can use any kit you like from the Scrap That Idea designers (freebie or store kit) which you must credit when you post in the gallery along with the title and artist of your chosen song.

Check out this post here for full details on points collecting during the challenges - the same applies to this challenge. Post your layouts in this part of the gallery and if you want to join in some chat, you can do so in the Facebook group which is here (request to join and I'll add you).

This is the layout I have done using the song title 'Lucky Star' by Madonna! I have used my next new kit 'Boys will be Boys' which will be in store on Friday!

I can't wait to see your layouts - you have until Saturday 19th February to upload and I will choose a winner and a runner up to win a kit of their choice from my store! Good luck! TTFN.

Paper scrapping Sunday!

I spent yesterday paper scrapping and had lots of fun scraplifting! I just thought I'd show you what I did :) The first layout was a scraplift of a layout by my friend Sarah - she did a video of herself making a layout the other day and I loved it so much that I decided to lift the layout and stick quite closely to the layout she did. I used the ScrapaGoGo December kit to do it. Check out Sarah's video here, but this is what her layout looks like:

And this is my lift.

Next I did a scraplift of one of my own digi layouts - remember this one with Sara and her kids on a carousel in London?

This is my lift using the ScrapaGoGo January kit plus some ribbon from my stash. Note the real stitching on the paper :)

Thanks for looking! I did do one more layout, but I can't show it yet because it's for the Chinese Whisper CJ I am doing - I'll show you that on 1st March :) TTFN.

Challenge winners announced!

Thank you to everyone who took part in my first challenge of 2011 and thank you to my CT members who also submitted some layouts for fun - I appreciate it girls! So, two winners to choose - the first was chosen by me to be the overall winner (with some help from my hubby) and that winner is...... 9 Months by ShelbyKarren! Take a look at the beautiful layout she made using Stacey's Flower Child kit:

And the runner up was picked by Mr Random - take a look:

The winner, as you can see, is Aspen 11 by acatmeowz! If you also send me an email to vicki at scrapthatidea dot com with a kit of your choice from my store, I will send you a coupon! Here's a look at her beautiful layout using an older kit of mine that is now retired - Country Life.

Thank you everyone for participating - there will be a new challenge starting soon! TTFN.

911 Rescue!

A little while ago, I put out a call for kit ideas and I have been working through them. My friend Lorraine has a son, Harry, who LOVES fire trucks, so I made this one for him! It's something completely different for me, but it was great fun to make. It would even work really well for hybrid projects - imagine printing and cutting out those firemen and trucks and putting them on a card - cute hey? So, take a look at 911 Rescue which you can buy for just $3 here:

And take a look at what my CT have done with it - some super cute layouts here.

Of course I made a freebie for you too - it's a fireman themed frame to put your little heroes into! I hope you like it - you can download it here! TTFN.

Life Everyday collab alpha

Before I get to the alpha for Life Everyday, I just wanted you to see my new release kit this weekend. I will have some CT layouts to show you and a freebie tomorrow, but for now, just take a look at 911 Rescue which is available in store here for just $3.

Hope you like it - it was requested by a friend of mine, Lorraine for her son Harry! I hope he likes it - I have a suspicion that he will because he LOVES fire trucks!

Back to Life Everyday and today you get the alpha. Before I give you the link, I just wanted to say thank you again to Angel for doing this collab with me - it's been great fun and you all sure seem to like it. Be sure to pick up the whole kit before next weekend because it will be going into our stores then and unavailable as a freebie. Click here to download {link expired} and don't forget to leave some love! TTFN.

I {heart} You guest CT

Oh my word - I totally forgot to show you the layouts with I {heart} You from my guest CT for the week, Deanna. I feel really bad about that, but it's worth the wait :) Here is a little about Deanna....

My name is Deanna aka Butterfly Kisses. I've been tagging for a little over a year. I've been writing tutorials for about 7 months. I've also started making my own kits. I haven't made many layouts as most places I CT for prefer tags. You can see my tutorial blog here or my scrap blog here.




And these two beautiful layouts were made by Deanna - thank you girl - they're fantastic! You can buy the kit here for just $3!
