ScrapMatters Products

I just want to say that I'm still here! I'm still alive! The past couple of months have been INSANE with the holidays, being sick in January, and then my niece's 2nd birthday. I've been busy scrapping though! So far in 2013 I have scrapped 28 layouts. My goal is to get at least 2 more done this month. I'm going to post some of the layouts I've done.

Erica Zane has been guesting at ScrapMatters this month and has some amazing products! I was so looking forward to working with this kit, "Bring on Spring." It is GORGEOUS!!!



Here is the layout I created it with it, "Beautiful Girl."



During her guest spot at ScrapMatters, Erica also released a great collab with Cluster Queen Creations called "You are Amazing."



Here is my layout with it, "Be Unique."



The layout also uses a fabulous template by Eudora Designs, "Dream Land - Part 1"



I love the designer collab kits at ScrapMatters and finally got a chance to work with "My Frog Prince." It is currently onsale for $5.99 which is a fantastic price for this gorgeous kit!



Here is my layout, "Princess Annika." These photos are from when she was just 1 month old. It seems so long ago!



Earlier this month Amy Stoffel released a beautiful kit, "Things I Should Have Said." I knew I had to scrap with it and that I had to use it for a layout about my Dad. I love the vintage feel and elements. It is perfect for my style!



My layout, "If I could go back in time"



Adorable Pixel's kit "Perfect Little Princess" is so pretty and girly. I love all the princess elements like the castle, coach, etc. Plus there are LOTS of flowers. :)  It was perfect for the photos I had of Juno playing with her Little People castle.



Here is my layout, "Princess Castle"



Alissa Jones retired from designing, but before she retired I was able to work with her amazing kit, "American Vacation." I love all the different bits that are perfect for all kinds of trips all over the United States. I used it to scrap some photos from our trip "Up North" but I know I will be using it again and again.



Here is my layout, "Driving Up North"



This layout also uses a template I made for the February 12th Tuesday Template challenge at ScrapMatters. Click on the picture to be taken to the forum where you can download the template.



That's enough for now! My goal tomorrow is to blog about the awesome special project that Britt-ish Designs and Sahlin Studio have been working. You won't want to miss that!
