My last reveal from The Scrapping Spot :(

It is with a heavy heart that I have to say that this will be my last reveal from The Scrapping Spot. The owners Jill and Cathy have decided to close the doors.

"When we first started The Scrapping Spot we hoped it would become not just a kit club, but a real community. A place where we could scrap with our friends, challenge each other, share scrappy inspiration as well as personal joys and troubles. The members of this message board have truly become family to us and we have you all to thank for it.

But while our message board has been an unqualified success, the kit club has been less so. The sinking economy, along with rising costs for both scrap goods and postage have made keeping our small business afloat more trouble that it is worth. With great regret we will be closing down the kit club side of The Scrapping Spot. November is our last kit.

We do not want to lose our Scrapping Spot family, however, so we are going to set up a new (less expensive) message board where we can continue to share our lives and our scrappy goodness. Please stay with us! We will share with you the details regarding the new message board site soon.

We will be having some great sales to clear out the inventory of TSS, so keep checking the store. We plan to keep it open until December."


I am so grateful for the time I had there!! I have met some truly wonderful ladies who I consider family now and we plan to keep in touch through another message board which makes me happy! But at the same time I'm sad because I won't get any more of the fabulous kits to play with. So with all that being said.....here are the last 2 layouts and a card that I have to share from the November kit.









Be sure to head over the store! They have some great sales going on!

Down on the Farm and Sleepyhead

Stopping by to share 2 of my projects made with my November The Scrapping Spot kit. I think The Crate Paper Farmhouse collection is one of my favorite collections to date since I've been scrapping!

Here is a layout about my sweet little Gracie girl who I took this picture of while we were spending the day on a farm that has a fun corn maize every year. I love that they had these great toy tractors for the kids to play on. So proud of myself for breaking out of the box with my sewing maching! I sat down to do my usual straight or zig zag stitch but thought to myself "why not use a different stitch!" So I did and I am loving how it turned out!

Down on the Farm



Loving this cherry paper but I sort of struggled at first on how to use it. I kept trying to think of any pictures I have of Gracie in an outfit with cherries but I have none!! So there again I found my poor little brain trying to think outside the box. I then started pairing up the red with some green and went straight to these pictures of my little sleepyhead! As with the layout about I found myself doing something I've never tried before: mitered corners with a border punch on the inside and once again loved how it turned out!

Sleepyhead



Hope you enjoyed these layouts and found some inspiration in one or both of them!! I'll be tomorrow with the other 2 layouts and a card to share with you!

Sneak peaks for the TSS November kit!!

Look at all of this deliciousness!! I have been playing with all of it the past couple of days and I am LOVING it. The colors and patterns are beautiful and the embellishments are perfect. Want your own kit? Go check them out here!!

Here are some sneak peaks of what I've made so far:

Best Fall Day Ever

I have one more layout to share from the October The Scrapping Spot kit. And yes, it is a 2 pager!! It doesn't happen that often anymore but occasionally I need to do a 2 pager because of all the pictures I want to scrap. I LOVE how this turned out. I have had these new Unity Stamps that I have been itching to use!! They are so much fun to use!







This flower was simply made by cutting out the leaves from one of the American Crafts Nightfall papers.



If anyone is still interested in one of these fabulous kits, please stop by the store and pick one up. I think there's still a couple more left.

A necessity for fall mornings and a couple of cards

As of September 23rd, it was officially Fall but for me Fall doesn't officially start until I have had my first cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee! FAll has officially started for me this year!! And boy did it taste GOOD!! LOL!! For those who don't know me, Fall is my favorite season. It is the one season that tickles my taste buds with all of the recipes made from all of those wonderful gourds!! YUM!!!! So I had to do a layout dedicated to this occasion and also to put in my Book of ME so that my kiddos will know this little piece of their mom.

A necessity for Fall mornings!



Since Saturday was World Card Making Day I had to participate. I love to make cards "aaaalmoooooost" as much as I love to make layouts. These are the 2 little cuties I played around with Saturday.

Happy Harvest



Happy Halloween



Hope that all are enjoying the beginning of this wonderful season!!

Now that I've showed you the kit.....

I get to show you half of what I've made with it!!! I would have everything made by now but we had a "small" delay with getting our Thickers for this kit. But I'm madly working on getting the rest of it finished so I can show you just how much fun this kit is!!!

A beautiful Fall Day!







Happy Halloween






I absolutely LOVE that this kit has half Fall and half Halloween!! And as I said before it is such a FUN kit to work with!! If you like it, you'd better hurry over to The Scrappin Spot Store to get yours....there's only a few more kits left!!

The SPOOKTACULAR TSS October kit!!

Crisp fall nights are just around the corner and what a better way to start off fall than scrapbooking. Our October kit features the American Crafts Night Fall line with a little Halloween and a little Fall. This month includes a lot of fun goodness like some fun Thickers along with beautiful Prima fall leaves. Not only do we have a full kit this month, but we have a mini kit of the October goodness. What a better way to get yourself into the Autumn spirit then picking up October's kit from the store. Be sure to pick yours up now as we only have a few left.

September Reveal for The Scrapping Spot

Finally getting around to posting my layouts and cards for the September The Scrapping Spot September kit which features 3 Bugs in a Rug Ashtyn collection. These papers have such a fun mix of patterns: flowers, grungy solids, polka dots, and my favorite the zebra striped!! And the colors are just beautiful!! Jill and Cathy also threw in some fun embellishments which include some beautiful yellow rosette ribbon, pleated pink ribbon, a couple of BG Curio epoxy clips and Sweet Threads tabs, some hot pink pearls and flowers, green Daiquiri Thickers, and a whole slew of other embellies including some of the NEW Cosmo Glubbers. This is a MUST have kit for the girlie pics whether they're big or little girlies!!

So let me get started showing my creations with this kit!!

This layout is one of my favs because of the zebra striped paper and pictures of my little sweetheart who just started preschool and is loving it!! So of course we had to go out and buy her some new school clothes.

You are a preschool fashion diva


Here are the kids with their cousins. We don't get to see them enough but when they get together, it's like no time has passed at all since the last visit. Hoping and praying that they always stay this close!!

We start and end with Family


Here's Josh and Gracie on the carousel from our latest zoo trip. I knew I had to use these pics when I saw the adorable carousel parts of the kit!!

Round & Round


Latest picture of all 3 of my babies together.
You have my whole heart


And last but not least a couple of cards and a gift bag that screamed to be dressed up. :)





I hope that my designs have given some inspiration as I always hope to give!! If you are liking them and want a kit all your own, please give The Scrapping Spot a visit!! They are also having an awesome sale going on this weekend plus they are also offering FREE shipping!!! Can't beat that deal!!
