DST's Gold Membership Featured Designer

for August is Allison Pennington. She created a wonderful kit called My Own Backyard.

Here is the preview of the kit. It is one munga kit! As you know I am a big big fan of Allison's papers and this kit gives you plenty of those.



This is one of the layouts I did with the kit. I was so excited to find out today that this layout was chosen for the Finger Pointing post for August 1st at Gallery Standouts.com. How fun is that!


I love this picture of my son, Cullen. The angle is just so amazing and I love seeing his so giddy! Allison's kit had the perfect colors and elements to bring out this favorite picture. Sometime I hesitate to scrap favorite pictures or i scrap them over and over trying to get the perfect feel that honors the picture. This kit was perfection. I never have to scrap this picture again. :D

Yours Truly by Allison Pennington

Allison Pennington is one of most favorite digi scrapbook designers. Way back in March Allison invited me to Guess on her CT in July and Guess what? Its July and I have the honor of playing with her stuff. Her newest kit is called Yours Truly and is up in her store at CatScraps. I created the above layout with it. That is my son playing in the sprinkler on our front walkway.

This kit is loaded with an alpha, prompting word strips, elements, patterned and solid paper.


Here is the preview of the kit!



















In honor of my month with Allison I have renovated my blog using her Daring Damask Vol 3 Paper Pack and a couple elements from her Yours Truly kit.

Look at these papers. I absolutely love Allison's papers. They are each a work of art.
Check them out at her shop too.

Sea World Memories

I created this layout with Sprintime and Sunshine by Meghan Mullens over at The Sweet Shoppe. I used a template by Cindy Schnieder. I love her templates. Templates can make creating so much easier but sometimes with Cindy's templates its takes forever because there are so many layers. They are not simple templates.

I have been quite a little scrapper these last few days with their new kits.

The Digiridoo is turning 2 years old this month so there is alot of celebrating going on over in the forums. The designers have created a new Mega kit called Two-riffic to celebrate their 2nd birthday. Thet have also created a new welcome kit for new members of the forum.

Next week there will be a huge blog train using their Sweet Surprise grab bag kit as inspiritation. You can grab clusters, cards, quick pages and more. So remember to check back at the forums on the 13th for information on where the train starts.

This first layout was created with the new welcome kit called Circle of Friends. Join the forums at get the kit.


This layout was created with Super Giggles by Truman Studios. I did it for the journaling challenge over at the Digiridoo. The challenge was to journal something funny.
