I hope all had a great week! Mine was fabulous and I have so many fun things to look forward to and share with you all! After you've read this post, don't forget to scroll down and pick up the Calendar Topper freebie that Tanya made for everyone using my newest kit.<br /><br />First off - a sale! A major sale! Everything in my <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=101">SBB</a> store is 50% off! No coupon code needed! Just go and shop - everything is marked down!<br /><br />Next, I scrapped again! Not once, but 3 times even! Thanks to my incredible fortunate of being on the most awesome Creative Teams - I got 1 layout done and 2 brag book layouts done too! Heather Roselli has a new kit out called "Win or Lose." It is the perfect kit for scrapping all of those fun Game Nights and favorite games. Here's a layout I did using Missy Strand's template at SSD and Heather's kit.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKcwMN1B4kI/AAAAAAAAANM/4mgc-f7kh88/s1600-h/HR-0808-AZ-CHECKERS.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKcwMN1B4kI/AAAAAAAAANM/4mgc-f7kh88/s200/HR-0808-AZ-CHECKERS.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235206078270136898" border="0" /></a><br />I am finding it a little hard to look at this layout though - they both look so much bigger now and that was only a year ago! Check out Heather's kit - <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=72&products_id=3278">Win or Lose</a>. It has a wonderful free with purchase deck of cards right now that you don't want to miss out on! Also, if you haven't checked out Heather's team blog. You definitely need to! Lots of goodies and prizes being given away.<br /><br />Once again the amazing Traci Reed has come out with an incredible kit. I so want to grow up and be Traci! She's years younger than me yet she possesses such incredible talent and wisdom beyond her years. Her kit called "<a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=72&products_id=3290">In the Air Tonight</a>" is beautiful! It is totally perfect for so many pictures of Zoey and really all the kids. It is girly but not so much that I couldn't use it with Eli's layouts too. Here is a little brag book page I did using Darcy Baldwin's fabulous <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=72&products_id=3272">Brag Book Templates</a> and Traci's newest goodie!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKcx92E9hpI/AAAAAAAAANU/0tTriVgrNaU/s1600-h/zoey-baldwin-treed-page8.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKcx92E9hpI/AAAAAAAAANU/0tTriVgrNaU/s200/zoey-baldwin-treed-page8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235208030399596178" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And another one using Traci's Sunshine Playground and Darcy's templates.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKc0B9JQGQI/AAAAAAAAANs/V1Vu2my_J7Y/s1600-h/dbaldwin-bracketbrag9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKc0B9JQGQI/AAAAAAAAANs/V1Vu2my_J7Y/s200/dbaldwin-bracketbrag9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235210300039371010" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And speaking of Darcy Baldwin! I consider myself a very lucky girl to call Darcy a friend and to have had the opportunity to spend time with her and and wonderful boys in person! Sooo, when it came to creating chore charts for the kids - I immediately grabbed Darcy's chore charts and went to town. If you are looking for a <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3193">chore/responsibilities</a> chart to start the school year off right - Darcy has the best. Here are Zoey's and Aidan's charts - both using kits by Traci!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKczv5_aDcI/AAAAAAAAANc/aJ81nzJ74r8/s1600-h/Aidan%27s-Chore-Chart.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKczv5_aDcI/AAAAAAAAANc/aJ81nzJ74r8/s200/Aidan%27s-Chore-Chart.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235209989955128770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKc0B5dM9hI/AAAAAAAAANk/6Eoe3L-cvTY/s1600-h/Zoey%27s-Chore-Chart.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKc0B5dM9hI/AAAAAAAAANk/6Eoe3L-cvTY/s200/Zoey%27s-Chore-Chart.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235210299049309714" border="0" /></a><br />If you are still with me a big Thank You! This was a far longer post than I intended. It's just that there are so many great things being put out there right now by my digi friends I had to brag about them!<br /><br />Please say Hello! and let me know you stopped by. I am off to take a shower and then I think we are going to go bowling again. A new family hobby! Have a great day! Play hard and make great memories! And thanks again for stopping by! I really appreciate you!Amy C.

And I designed! :) Holy cow - was there a full moon yesterday?<br /><br />Does anyone have tips on organizing kids rooms and getting the kids to keep it that way? Inexpensive ones? I don't understand how I can spend hours cleaning the kids rooms, organizing them and then within a week you would have absolutely no idea I had ever been in there. We bought some closet storage "solutions" this weekend because we simply had to do something. Our downstairs hall closet was becoming known as the "Zoobomafoo" closet. For those of you who do not have young children or young children who love that show - Martin and Chris have a closet that when they open everything from balls to animal food falls out of knocking them down. It's funny in the show but not in real life!!! But back to the real topic - how do I inspire Aidan and Zoey to put their toys back where I have now put them???<br /><br />Well I have to run - one of my clients has already emailed me a long list of things to do this morning. But before I do, I want to show you the layout I did yesterday using Traci Reed's fabulous new kit <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3261">Blue Skies and Flutterbies</a>. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKBIjNvgPdI/AAAAAAAAANA/zf54jsbTLdE/s1600-h/0907--ZOEY-Soccer-web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SKBIjNvgPdI/AAAAAAAAANA/zf54jsbTLdE/s200/0907--ZOEY-Soccer-web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233262536826043858" border="0" /></a><br />Those photos are of Zoey after a soccer game last year. She's so pretty (if I say so myself) and even after running around in the Texas heat for an hour. <br /><br />Oh my now we have progressed to screaming from upstairs and another email! I must go! I'll be back tomorrow with a look at Maria LaFrance's and my new kit coming out tomorrow called "Gabrielle" and a birthday wish for Eli! <br /><br />Thanks soooo much for stopping by! I really appreciate it and love reading your comments! :)Amy C.

New RecordAnyone there? I know at least one person read my blog yesterday. Thanks Tammy! I owe you a pm and I'll do that today!<br /><br />We had a fun family day yesterday! We bowled, had lunch, did a little shopping, had ice cream and watched a movie at home. I have a cute photo of Eli bowling with his paci in his mouth that I'll have to share tomorrow.<br /><br />I scrapped! I scrapped! I worked on a layout using Heather Roselli's fabulous party kit yesterday. She designed the kit to celebrate her 1 year Anniversary at Sweet Shoppe. It is a fabulous kit and was perfect for Eli's 2nd Birthday photos.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SJ7nHZ3cA9I/AAAAAAAAAM4/GIglQaaH7RU/s1600-h/HR-0708-E-Birthday.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SJ7nHZ3cA9I/AAAAAAAAAM4/GIglQaaH7RU/s200/HR-0708-E-Birthday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232873931439604690" border="0" /></a><br />It is hard to believe that we will be celebrating his 3rd Birthday on Tuesday already. He's grown so much in the last year. Of course he has!!<br /><br />Anyways, we are organizing closets today and cleaning house. Hopefully we will also go swimming as it is supposed to be 102 here today. Yikes!<br /><br />Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by. Leave a comment and say Hello!Amy C.

Remember me???<br /><br />First things first! Thank you to my wonderful Creative Team who has managed to continue to post here on my blog despite my complete disappearance from the digital scrapping world. Without them I think everyone would have totally forgotten about my designs and me! Thank you girls!<br /><br />I have been busy busy busy trying to start a Virtual Assistant business. So far it has been going fairly well but I am so busy that I don't have time to do very much scrapping or designing. I am excited though that things are starting to settle down and I am getting some time to do both. In fact, before my family and I run off for a fun family day, I wanted to stop and share at least one new thing I have up at Polka Dot Potato.<br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SJ2wlBJ_e1I/AAAAAAAAAMw/NavBJigrGVY/s1600-h/boysroom-preview-pdp-500.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SJ2wlBJ_e1I/AAAAAAAAAMw/NavBJigrGVY/s200/boysroom-preview-pdp-500.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232532492086377298" border="0" /></a><br />This fun little mini kit is called "Boys Room Mini" and is only .99 cents! Not only is it a steal but it is super cute! You can pick it up <a href="http://www.polkadotpotato.com/shop/product.php?productid=3140&cat=0&page=1">here</a>.<br /><br />Well I told the kids I was going to kidnap them today and have a fun family day. So we'll see what kind of fun we can find on this ridiculously hot August day in South Texas. I suspect we are either going to go bowling, mini golfing, swimming and/or all of the above. I want to make use of the weekend to be with them now that I am a WAHM. <br /><br />Have a great day everyone! Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />:)Amy C.

So, sorry I'm late.<br /><br />Without further ado, I would like to show you two of Amy's newest kits, Summer Serenade and Playdate (which is 30% off right now!). These kits are both so fun and versatile! Hop over and check them out (all images are clickable)! And, here are two layout that I did using these kits.

I will try and keep it short today. I often find myself scrapping more moments than events, so for me one photo templates and smaller size templates are very useful. Something I started a while back was making 4x6 layouts for Lukas (my son) to put into a little album to look at. He will sit for hours and look through it, but there are still many spaces to be filled that I haven't gotten around to scrapping. Which brings me to my pick for product spotlight, Amy's new Brag Book Templates. These will be perfect to help me create layouts for his book, but they will also work great to make quick and easy presents for family members.<br />For this week only you can pick them up for 30% making them a bargain at only $4.20 for 10 Brag Book Templates as well as a front and back cover, giving you a total of 12 templates!!<br />Currently they are available at either <a href="http://digitalfreebies.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2733">Digital Freebies</a> or <a href="http://www.acherryontop.com/digital/company/designs_for_play_by_amy_bleser/9003260">A Cherry On Top</a>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1388436_scbxr/acbleser_bragbook_folder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1388436_scbxr/acbleser_bragbook_folder.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163481961826217838.post-57579264427117752182008-05-22T11:49:00.003-05:002008-05-22T11:53:06.076-05:00Let's talk speed scrappingHi everyone, I was sat here wondering what I could possibly talk to you about, and I got to thinking about a few things. I have spent all of my time since Sunday trying to move everything important onto my external drive, because my computer started making a weird noise and I didn't want to lose anything important. Now during that time I have cursed the amount of time doing this has taken. In my mind there were so many other things I could have been spending my time doing. I haven't been able to scrap a single layout, and I have missed that creative outlet. Now they way my mind works is it wonders, frequently lol. So that thought led to thinking about all the othet times I have wished for more "Scrapping" hours in the day. I know I can't be the only one who is still printing/assembling things the night before they are needed lol. But the problem is birthdays and anniversaries etc may well give us a year's notice they are coming but then somehow they still seem to be able to sneak up on us and throw us into a panic. Although I am still searching for that elusive 48 hour day, to give me those extra hours I have stumbled across a few ways to make better use of my scrapping time, and get more done in less time. My first answer to this problem is quick pages, they give you a nice base layout that can be finished simply by adding a photograph. But if you own the coordinating kit you could also add to them and really make them your own. Luckily for you Amy has lots of beautiful ones available for sale. Let's start with some traditional 12x12 quickpages. Amy currently has quick pages available in this size using no less than 9 different kits. I have linked up the abbreviations of the stores each set is available for sale at PDP=Polka Dot Potato, ACOT=A Cherry On Top, DF=Digital Freebies.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />B3 Bounce Bounce Bounce</span> (designed by CT member Pam Bumbuca) <a href="http://www.polkadotpotato.com/shop/product.php?productid=2249&cat=0&page=1">PDP</a> and <a href="http://digitalfreebies.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2508">DF</a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1354854_weh8z/b3qp-folder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The alternative answer I can provide is layered templates, they give you a lot more freedom and flexibility. I will hold my hands up and admit I can't remember the last layout I made that didn't use a layered template. I like to have the basics of my layout done for me, leaving me to the fun task of decorating it with the kit of my choice. The downside is they take a lot longer than quick pages, but for most people a template layout is still a lot quicker than starting from scratch. Amy has a lot of great templates available for sale, from <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/search.php?mode=search&page=1">12x12</a>, <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/digital-scrapbooking-supplies/two-at-a-time-layered-templates-by-amy-bleser">double page</a> and <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/digital-scrapbooking-supplies/Amy_Bleser_Brag_Book_Templates">brag book</a> to <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/digital-scrapbooking-supplies/Amy_Bleser_Tumbler_Templates">tumbler</a>, <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/digital-scrapbooking-supplies/Amy_Bleser_Just_the_Tops_Calendar_Topper_Templates">calendar</a>, <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/digital-scrapbooking-supplies/Amy_Bleser_Trading_Card_Mini_Album_Templates1">trading card</a> and even <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/digital-scrapbooking-supplies/Blog-It-Blog-Header-Templates-by-Amy-Bleser.html">blog header</a> templates.

It could be a layout with you playing with your kids, or your husband playing with a big-boy toy like a truck or tractor. As long as it fits the theme PLAY, it counts!<br /><br />In the comments, post a link to your layout, and we'll pick a random winner on Saturday evening. Winner will receive a $5 gift certificate for more Amy Bleser products!!<br /><br />So, play... play... and play some more. And then create a layout for the challenge!<br /><br />Happy Wednesday!Charhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00902676592933997961noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163481961826217838.post-73840265233452893642008-05-19T13:03:00.009-05:002008-12-09T22:26:23.861-06:00Hope Springs Eternal<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:small;">Hi there!

I missed a week!Whoever stole the last week of my life - please return it!! :) Hehe! It didn't seem like a week ago that I blogged but well a few dozen boxes more and a couple of new kits/designs and here it is - a week later!<br /><br />I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! Mother's Day here was pretty much overshadowed by Aidan's 7th birthday and the move of course. But that's okay - my husband was very sweet and the kids colored the wrapping paper on their presents for me and it was very festive and fun. David got 3 kits to make stepping stones for the garden in the new house - 1 for each kid of course. It is perfect, it will be wonderful to make them with the kids and put them in the garden and see them everyday.<br /><br />Aidan's 7th birthday was on Saturday but we celebrated on Friday night and on Sunday. He received lots of HO train things including a new engine, a new passenger station, box car and more track. He was in heaven! And then on Sunday we took him to the local Train Museum and he got to drive his track on their layout. He was so excited and did so well. Major kuddos to the young boys at the Train Museum who were very nice to Aidan and taught him the ropes so to speak. We all had a very nice day. We went to Bill Miller's for dinner at Aidan's request and had a fairly good and inexpensive dinner. Here's a couple of pictures:<br /><br /><p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199904332764515762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SCnFcLxxjbI/AAAAAAAAAMI/FeDIF_n9cuc/s200/Aidan-at-TxTM2.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199904319879613858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SCnFbbxxjaI/AAAAAAAAAMA/0azDW1nZpJk/s200/Aidan-at-TxTM1.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><br /><p>Time for me to go and do some packing and make lunch, but before I go I want to share with you some new designs I have in the stores (links are in the sidebar)! Also, I am going to start something new here on my blog. Each week when I announce new products, I am going to give one away to one blog commenter. So that means, leave a comment on my blog saying "Hi" and which of the new releases you would love to have and on Wednesday I will pick a name out of the hat and whoever it is will get the new release of their choice. If I get lots of comments, I might even do more than 1 giveaway. Here are the previews:</p><p>First up is a cute heart shaped album designed by my awesome CT member Tanya Tong using my Flowers for Mom kit.</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199904981304577474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SCnGB7xxjcI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/vJjDiPGYdPY/s200/acbleser-ffmheart-preview.jpg" border="0" /><br />Next is my kit called "Grammie's Apron." Very flowery with a classic look - perfect for heritage photos and all those Mother's Day photos from this last weekend.</p><p></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199904998484446674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SCnGC7xxjdI/AAAAAAAAAMY/VfnRlKNYEvA/s200/acbleser-grammiesapron-500p.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>And speaking of fantastic CT members, Pam Bumbaca made this fabulous bracket album using Grammie's Apron. I love it and when the move is all settled and I can find my photo paper - it is going to be the first thing I make up.</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199905024254250466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SCnGEbxxjeI/AAAAAAAAAMg/wcCeqjGBr9Y/s200/acbleser-grammiesapron-albu.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Tanya's been busy this week - hehe - she also did this really wonderful brag book using Rainy Day Sunday. It is perfect for mini albums for Father's Day or just any mini album featuring the men and boys in your life! </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199905037139152370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SCnGFLxxjfI/AAAAAAAAAMo/eyXg15Kn__U/s200/acbleser-rdsbragbook-500pre.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>So on that note, I am off to make lunch for my littlest nut and get some food myself! I'm starving!! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great day and I look forward to reading your comments. </p>Amy C.

I'm Missing Someone!<div> Yes it has finally happened! My house is overrun with boxes. They are stacked 3 or 4 high on every available wall. The children are hiding in them and every once in a while a scream of "....where are you???" can be heard throughout the house as I try to locate my little nuts between, behind and beneath all these boxes! We begin moving in just 10 days!<br /><br />Sadly I did no digiscrappin today but I do still have a layout to share with you! This one is using Kristin Cronin-Barron's <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2538">My Sunshine</a> kit available at Sweet Shoppe Designs. It is such a fun and happy kit - I just love it. Oh and I also used one of <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe/index.php?manufacturers_id=33&zensessionid=69a1170d4eb1b5d81ce71e2ea0bcfc32&main_page=index">Bree Clarkson's </a>fabulous templates too.</div><br /><div> </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197467513669281282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SCEdKpPj5gI/AAAAAAAAAL4/k-_q3OXq3g8/s200/0408-Zoey-Sunshine.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>Hopefully I will squeeze in a few minutes tonight before I fall asleep - I would really love to do the May template from Dani's CT blog - <a href="http://designbydani.com/girltalk/">Girl Talk</a>. But I am yawning probably a little too much for that. I do feel good about what I did get done today - I booked a mover, transferred all of our utilities, played in a tent, read a lot of stories, did some patient records for the doctor I am a "virtual assistant" for and all around had a well balanced day between working and the kids. It was another good day! </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>And among all this fun time really does fly! I went upstairs to encourage Aidan to get out of the tub and was shocked to see a big boy looking up at me rather than the little baby I once knew. He has matured so much and grown into such a wonderful boy - yes filled with energy and mischief but also a very healthy dose of kindness and gentleness. He'll be 7 on Saturday and while it is such a cliche, it doesn't feel like 7 years ago when I held him in my arms for the first time and whispered in his ear "you are the best thing I have ever done." I shudder to think how quickly the next year and years will go but between all the practices, birthday parties, squables and tears, I will forever be grateful for the gift of my 3 children.<br /><br />Wow - that was a serious dip into the sappy and reflective side of me. I suppose it is moving that is bringing out my sappy side. I have spent nearly all of my married life in this house and brought three precious babies home from the hospital to this home. I have never in my life been as happy or as terrified as I have been in this house. But now it is time to make new memories in a new and wonderful home. And the nice thing about moving less than a mile away - when I need to I can drive by and see how things are going over here in this little corner of my heart.<br /><br />On that note - I am definitely going to stop before I become even more sappy. Thanks for sticking with me and reading all this (if you got this far!). I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will have a layout to show you tomorrow! </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>Have a wonderful day/evening! And please leave me a comment to say Hello and tell me what's going on with you too!</div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>:) <br /><br /></div>Amy C.

Between soccer, gymnastics, birthdays, work, designing, scrapping, the kids school, holidays and family celebrations, moving and well moving - it is hard to keep my head on straight! And seriously, could someone please tell me how on earth it became May already??? Next thing you know we are going to be Christmas shopping!<br /><br />But even with its everyday challenges and craziness, life is good! Afterall, how could it not be when your beautiful 5 year old daughter comes running into the house saying "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy....a toad pee'd on me!!" She was delighted, I was laughing and smiling - it was one of those great everyday moments.<br /><br />Did everyone survive National Scrapbooking Day? Last year I went totally crazy on NDS and spent a fair amount of money. This year, I was good! I restrained myself to just a couple purchases. Now mind you, if DH was not unemployed I am sure I would have gone crazy. There were amazing sales out there, incredible designs and a lot of inspiration and fun. I didn't purchase a lot - but I did do a fair amount of scrapping - at least for me! Indulge me please while I share!</div><br /><p>My first layout is of my sweet Eli in the bathtub. I just love that sweet beautiful face! The kit is A Boys Toys by Heather Roselli at the Sweet Shoppe and the acrylic stars are by Traci Reed. I used one of the star album Quick Pages for the layout. Yes it might constitute cheating but it turned out really cute I think! </p><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197124023659783634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SB_kw5Pj5dI/AAAAAAAAALI/OlhIbsNduOs/s200/0108-Eli-100percent-Boy.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p>I will spare you the whining that goes along with this next layout of Aidan who will be 7 on Saturday (hint hint - look for a sale on Saturday). He is no longer my little baby - he has grown into a boy - a big, rambuntious, active and fun 7 year old boy!! For this layout I used a template by Bree Clarkson and a new kit called Chilaxin by Melissa Bennett, Eva Kipler and Scrapkitchen Designs. </p><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197124027954750946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SB_kxJPj5eI/AAAAAAAAALQ/dSm8f0xizmg/s200/0408-A-Nearly7.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p>This next layout is one of my favorites for the weekend. Zoey is just so darn pretty (in my humble opinion) and her eyes are just so amazingly blue! I did this layout for the NDS Spin-A-Lift Chain game. Tons of fun! The butterfly is by Annie Manning in this layout - everything else is from Traci Reed's newest kits - JuicyPops with Amanda Rockwell and A Tisket A Tasket with Gina Miller.</p><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197124027954750962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SB_kxJPj5fI/AAAAAAAAALY/t-13Vg-69us/s200/0408-Zoey-Breathtaking.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p>Okay well that is going to have to be all for now! Soon I am going to be asleep on my keyboard! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day! </p><br /><p> </p>Amy C.

I'm here to post the TWO winners of the Bloggy Giveaway... and yes, I'm a little late. You wouldn't believe how many things we had going on this weekend, so I won't even begin to tell you!

We hope you'll come back for more fun from Amy and her CT!Charhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00902676592933997961noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163481961826217838.post-8097329065333783972008-04-24T16:39:00.007-05:002008-12-09T22:26:26.790-06:00Current Challenges and Promotions.I've never been a guest blogger before, but there's got to be a first time for everything right lol. I suppose I should tell you who I am, that might be a good start lol. My name is Crystal also known as Lukasmummy, I have been a fan of Amy's designs for a while and now I'm lucky enough to be guesting on her CT. I thought I would take this chance to shine the spotlight on some of the challenges and promotions Amy currently has running. To me the best thing about Digital scrapbooking is the huge amount of inspiration available but after that my favourite thing is adding even more digital stash to my collection, so I am always on the look out for promotions and sales.<br /><br />I'm going to start with her new template challenge over at Scrapbook Bytes, all you have to do is download the free template she has provided and scrap a layout with it then just upload it to Template Challenge Gallery. You could always try flipping the template horizontally or rotating it to make it even more versatile. How simple is that, you can pick up the template free for the duration of the challenge (runs until 30st April) you can find all the details <a href="http://scrapbook-bytes.com/chat/showthread.php?t=34249">here</a>.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193312291724191138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SBJaA5Pj5aI/AAAAAAAAAKw/2iF8uKnXXOw/s200/folder.jpg" border="0" />This weekend is <a href="http://www.polkadotpotato.com/shop/home.php?cat=38">Potato Bar</a> weekend at Polka Dot Potato, designers release new items each costing 99c. Most of them are designed especially for this event although some may be for sale at a later date, but if they are you can bet they will be costing a lot more than 99c!<br />Amy is spoling us for choice with 2 new alphas, 4 new layered templates and 3 gorgeous mini kits. She is also providing a free gift of a beautiful paper pack when you spend $10 in store. You can check out all her Potato Bar items and her other stuff in her section of the store <a href="http://www.polkadotpotato.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=50">here</a>.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193312699746084274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SBJaYpPj5bI/AAAAAAAAAK4/VavVXZqOyKc/s200/acbleser-headstartno2-preview.jpg" border="0" /><br />She also released two new items at Digital Freebies on Tuesday, they are still available at 30% off until Tuesday. <a href="http://digitalfreebies.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2577">Dress 'Em Up Decorative Frames</a> and <a href="http://digitalfreebies.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2578">Floral Overlays - Commercial Use</a>.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193311492860274050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SBJZSZPj5YI/AAAAAAAAAKg/DnbpS_QGqpc/s200/acbleser-cufloraloverlay-50.jpg" border="0" /><br />Last but certainly not least as you may have seen in previous posts Amy is running a super special deal on her templates at Scrapbook-Bytes, right now you can pick up all of them for the bargain price of $35! You can see all the details of that steal of a deal right <a href="http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/digital-scrapbooking-supplies/Amy_Bleser_Template_Bonanza">here</a>.<br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193312034026153362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bVuivaiC3JY/SBJZx5Pj5ZI/AAAAAAAAAKo/V7nGmOT_6Ng/s200/acbleser-templatesgalore-pr.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p></p><p>Thanks for stopping by!
