#66 and 67

As I said in the previous post, I have been very lax in my blogging. I don't know why, I just have. So I'm trying to catch up. This post is part of one that should have gone out a while ago and part that is supposed to go out tonight (yay!).

Misty created a little summer mini that reminds me of the ocean. I love the serenity of calming blues and teals, along with the gritty texture of sand between my toes.

This kit includes 6 papers and 15 elements. And it's only $3.00! If you're a subscriber to Misty's newsletter, you received a fun coordinating freebie :) If you're not a newsletter subscriber, sign up here so you won't miss the next freebie and exclusive news.

You'll also want to "Like" Misty on FB. She is known to giveaway coupons on a moment's notice to lucky fans who just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

Misty had a request to bring back the Mega CU Glitters and instead, she created a new set - 10 styles & sheets - which you can find in this neat little grab bag. All of the items in the grab bag are for commercial use and you'll find 4 handy dandy products at your designing disposal. There's glitter, layered paper templates, overlays, and some doodles. Want a sneak peek? Head over to the store and click "additional images" to see each product's preview.

Find it here.

The ($17 value!) Commercial Use Grab Bag No. 1 will be available for just $5 through July 5th. After that, everything will be unpacked and sold separately in the store.

Misty also spent some time perusing CT, Adriana's lovely layout gallery. (You may know her as dricamendes in the forums). Adriana has a beautiful gallery and we really admire her style as a digital layout artist. So much so, that Misty created a set of layout templates inspired by her own LOs! This set includes 4 layered templates so you too can create layouts similar to Adriana's style.

You can pick up this pack for only $3.99 in Misty's store at Funky Playground Designs!

Here's the layout I did with the fabuluous template!

I have had a HORRIBLE weekend. The hubby was feverish and sick Friday night. I ran a 5K in terrible weather (80 degrees and 90% humidity at 9am!) then I fell ill. I had a 102 fever all Sat night into Sunday. Just when I was feeling better, I slammed my foot in the door. Hubby thinks it's broken. It hurts like crazy. In between the fever breaking and me breaking my toe, I got a layout done for Misty's new kit "Lola". I love the colors! I'm a sucker for brown and pink together. I used a template from Daybreak Scraps as well.

Here's the preview of the kit:

Here's a layout that I did last night for a speed scrap at Funky Playground Designs. I used Misty O'Brien's "Tweet Tweet". I love this kit, and have used it before, but not enough.

#55

Here's a re-release of Misty O'Brien's kit Beachy is Peachy. I enjoyed reliving the fun times we had at the beach while making this layout. I am so glad summer is coming very soon! You can pick up this kit at Funky Playground Scraps this weekend for only $1!

I finally am done with my first half-marathon! I feel like I'm finally getting back to life as usual. I have really worked hard that past month and feel that I was consumed with training. It was difficult. I'm officially retired as a long distance runner now and can't wait to do some more scrapping. Here's the first layout that I have done since the race. I will be scrapping more about the race weekend, but here's my absolute favorite picture of the weekend:

This is using Misty O'Brien's Elegant Azure Mini Kit. It will be on sale this weekend at Funky Playground Designs.

#53 - Oops

I don't have any idea how this happened, but I made an oopsie and didn't post a layout that I did. Misty did a charity collab and I used the kit to make this:

#46 Misty has a new kit out!

Misty O'Brien is coming out with a new kit. It's going to be released tomorrow and is named "Flirtatious". I loved working with it and was able to get some awesome pics of Emma recently in her first piggy tails! I couldn't wait to play with those pics!

Here's the preview of the kit:

Buy it HERE at Funky Playground Designs!

Here's my layout for the kit:

#45, 3 new products and a FREEBIE!

I have so so much to talk about tonight! Misty has 3 new products out that I want to show you. 

Elegant Azure brings to mind the cool crisp colors of a blue sky mixed with the emerald green waters off some romantic coast. And speaking of romantic, this kit was designed for those special occasions when you get all dressed up and hit the town. We all have those special times when you want to look your best and then someone, somewhere, starts snapping those photos. With Prom and Wedding Season just around the corner, Elegant Azure is sure to please. This kit sparkles and shines with the perfect blend of glitz and glam. But you will find it easy to scrap for those days when you just are hanging out at the beach or with friends and family too. Great for those that love black and white photos too. As our treat to you, you can pick up the Elegant Azure add-on free with your purchase of the full kit. Elegant Azure was designed by Daybreak Scraps, Misty O'Brien Designs and Teri's Thing-O-My-Jigs. We hope you dance!

You can buy it HERE!!

Here's the layout that I did with it:

(If you stick around, this is what you get as a freebie QP down below!)

Glitter Frames are available at Funky Playground Designs that would go fabulously (is that even a word?) with the Elegant Azure kit!

Ever wanted glittery frames without having to buy glitter styles? Here's your chance to pick up 6 glittered frames designed for both personal and commercial use.

Buy them HERE!

Custom Glitter Styles & Sheets (CU or PU)

Buy them HERE!

Here's a reminder that Misty's blog address is http://scrappaperie.blogspot.com/ 

And last but certainly not least is your quickpage. I had a good time creating this page and hope you can find something to use it with!

Well, it's been a long time since I've blogged. I'm feeling much much better but now am in the final stages of training for a half marathon! I completed my first ever 15K this past weekend. Running 15-20 miles a week can really take it out of a mommy! But I'm now on Spring Break so I'm hoping to do a little scrapping in the next few days.

Misty O'Brien has an adorable new kit out that I felt was so good, I just had to take a moment (OK, a couple of hours maybe...) to create something with it. I just love the colors!!! She is now a designer at the newly re-opened Funky Playground Designs! Here's a preview of the new kit:

There is also glitter styles that you can get:

And there is also an add-on!

Here's the layout that I did with it. It's a picture of Emma's 2nd birthday party.

I was actually on Facebook at just the right time and won an opportunity to use one of Bethany's word art packs for FREE if I created a layout. Well, why not use Misty's new kit? So here's what I did with it:

Mojo for Christmas?

I have been desperately trying to get my mojo back recently. I got sick with H1N1 right before Thanksgiving and have been through 3 rounds of antibiotics since then to kick secondary infections. I will finish the last pill tomorrow! However, because of this plus the holiday madness, a weekend trip to Vegas, and working full time I have completely lost all scrapping mojo. I haven't created anything recently. Now that all of the relatives have gone home and all of the celebrations have slowed down, I have had some time to work on my pages. Let's hope that the mojo comes back soon...

Here are some of the layouts that I have worked on to try to get the creative juices flowing again...
