Creative Monday
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! Mine was full of good times with family and delicious food (summer fresh fruits and veggies—yum!), plus a little gardening and a little shopping. Busy, busy!
I have some beautiful and inspiring layouts to show you today! First, here is a elegant layout from Crystal, using a mix of A Little Birdie and Paper Garden:
And here’s a precious layout from Katey, using Plumberry Teacakes mixed with the Vintage Paperie alpha:
Here is a gorgeous layout from Andrea, using Paper Garden:

And finally, I was honored to have the talented Bren Boone play around with the new Paper Garden kit, too. Here is her gorgeous layout:
Be sure to click on these layouts to leave these girls some love!
Tomorrow, there is something special coming to the shop! A fabulous and fun new collab:

Be on the lookout for this tomorrow! Now, I’m off to hunt down my muse and finish that new kit I posted about on Friday–LOL!
Happy scrapping!
Extra! Extra!
Run to The Daily Scrapper right now and you’ll find this sweet little freebie kit featured there today! Not sure how long it will be available, so go now! Here’s a preview:
Happy scrapping!
Newsy Stuff
Oh, newsletter woes… I has them.
But my hubby is on it, determined to get under the hood and figure it all out for me so I won’t have them any more! I love that man.
Sincerest apologies if you get three copies of the darn thing! In the meantime, I have a little something I’m working on finishing up today…

Off to make some more goodies…
Creative Monday & Winners Announced!
Happy Monday! Boy, do I have a lot of great layouts to show you today! Not only has the Creative Team been a bunch of buzy little scrappers this week, I also have two gorgeous layouts to show you from the winners of the “Grab Your Camera” challenge! Let’s jump right in and be inspired:
Here is a beautiful layout from Shaz, using the Petite Fours paper pack. Look at this chickie! She’s all baby–no fat! I’m jealous because I never look this cute when I’m pregnant:
And here is a super cute layout from Jill, using A Little Birdie. I love the playful off-center feel of this one!
Here is a gorgeous layout from Tigz, using the new Paper Garden collab kit. She has such a way with elements!
Here is a beautiful layout from Nett, using a mix of Flirty Skirty papers, Printed Paperie and other fun stuff. I just love the combination of black and peach colors here. Just gorgeous!
And here’s a fantastic layout from Michelle, using a mix of Summer Sorbet and Grasshopper Kisses. I just love how she made the tag into a frame and the title is just perfect!
Be sure to stop by these lovely layouts and leave these girls some praise!
Now, to announce the winners of last week’s “Grab Your Camera” challenge! We had more than 20 players, so I’ll be sending out two gift cards! Our winners had such beautiful layouts, I just had to show them off here during Creative Monday!
Our first winner is Sabrina! Here is her gorgeous layout that she made using the Vintage Garden freebie (which you can find here):
And our second winner is Cheryl! Here is her stunning layout, using the new Paper Garden collection:
Congratulations, girls! I’ll be sending you an e-mail so you can go shopping! Aren’t they both fantastic layouts?! Everyone had such a great submissions for this contest. I just love seeing all your work. I always say that I like for you to leave me links so I can see your layouts. This one way (my evil plan!) to get you to send me those lovely little links. Mwua-haha!!
Well, I hope you find all these layouts to be inspiring… get your creative juices flowing and the like. Oh! And before I forget–one last thing! There is a new template at the Shanty, so be sure to stop by and pick it up. This week I picked one of my own paper layouts to make into a template. I hope you enjoy scrapping with it!
Just stop by the Shanty blog to pick it up!
Happy scrapping!
