Make it Sunday and a Giveaway at Elle's Studio

If you follow the Elle's Studio blog, you know they are doing a fun weekly feature called Make it Sunday where  previous design team members share projects made with current Elle's Studio products. The best part? Each week they give away the products that were used! And the really best part? This week, I got a chance to be featured!! I LOVED my time designing with Elle's Studio and still use their products all the time. I made this layout:
I used five different Elle's Studio tags or cards. I used a couple of Daily 3x4 Tags and an Only Stripe...
several Tidbits and a Pennant...
and a few Collected Journaling Tags:
As you can probably tell, I had so much fun working with the new Elle's Studio products! And the best part is they are giving away a pack of each of the tags and cards I used on this layout. So run over to the Elle's Studio Blog and comment there for a chance to win!
Good Luck!
♥ Rebecca

Happy Monday!

You know something is up when I say Happy and Monday in one line! Especially after a night of no sleep because my little guy is sick....AGAIN. Something is up alright...Elle's Studio is celebrating this week and introducing each member of the design team. I am up first---EEEK! The Elle's Studio blog has an introduction to me today, including a peek at my scrap space and a Valentine's canvas I made especially for the occasion. Here is a peek at the canvas:
To see the whole thing you are going to have to head over to Elle's Studio Blog. And don't forget to leave a comment because Elle's is giving away goodies ALL week!
I also have a few layouts to share. First up is another one I did with Scrapbook Circle's February Happy Days kit:
I love the bright pop of glittery blue from the Pink Paislee glitter stickers:
Scrapbook Circle is going to be doing a blog hop on February 4th (that is this Friday!!) to introduce the new design team members and each of us is going to be giving away a $10 GC to the store! They will be giving away a whole kit on the Scrapbook Circle blog too!
And tomorrow, 3 Scrappy Boys is releasing the February Main, Trio and Add on Kits! I was thrilled to design with the Main kit this month and I LOVE it. Here is a little peek of one of the layouts I made with this fun kit:
You will not want to miss the full reveal tomorrow, but I would head over right away because they are having an awesome Pre-CHA sale to make room for all the new goodies we've been requesting. Seriously EVERYTHING is on sale! Run to the Store to check it out.
And last, but not least here are a few layouts I worked on this weekend:

(Pebbles New Arrival collection and photos of Little Miss when she was just days old).
(Sassafras stuff and Little Miss recently).
More Sass and a funny story. We had the windows open during dinner recently and heard this strange noise. The kids asked what it was and I said, "hmmm kind of sounds like a neighbor using a blow torch"? Then the sound seemed closer. Little Man got up and looked out the window at the same time I said, "ya know what it actually sounds like..." And he yelled, " a hot air balloon!!!" There were three of them and they were flying right over our house. One seemed to be landing and came so close, we could see the people in the basket--they seriously must have been landing a block or two away!
Well, that's it for now. Have a great day!

Fried Friday

It has been one long, hot week. My girl started her first week of Kindergarten and I must say, all you parents of school age kids are rock stars. It has been so exhausting getting everyone up and dressed early, dropping her off, dropping the little guy off and then picking everyone up again. She already has homework too. Add to that packing lunches and some sleepless nights (due to worrying) and we are all wiped. But she sure looked cute on that first day.

The little guy actually had his first day of preschool a couple of weeks ago, so that I could deal with one transition at a time. Here is a photo of him in front of his cubbie:


We did have one last hurrah before everyone started school. We got up early and went over to the splash pad at the mall before anyone else arrived.


Anyway, Friday is the reveal for the ScrapTiffany challenge and this week was a fun one: Bare Chipboard. The great thing about Tiffany's challenges is that she leaves them up to the designers' interpretation. To some that meant covering bare chipboard, to others it meant using it bare on a layout. A friend I met at 3 Scrappy Boys-- Kim, is a genius with bare chipboard. Me? Not so much. But after much debating and trial and error, I came up with a happy medium. I spritzed my chipboard and my Kraft background with just a bit of Maya Mist. Then I sewed on the chipboard. You can still see some of the original color of the chipboard and I think I will be doing this again soon.
 
Go on over to ScrapTiffany to see the many different takes on the bare chipboard challenge.

I had a little time to play last night while the rest of the family was out running some errands. Since I was dog tired and just wanted to be on auto pilot I wanted to use a sketch. So I used a Pagemaps sketch and came up with this layout:


Funny how the Studio Calico and Echo Park actually works together so well!
And I realized there are a few layouts I haven't shared here yet...
Some American Crafts, Coredinations and Ek Success border punches:

A sketch from Studio Calico and lots of Sassafras (couple of Elle's Studio goodies too).


Bo Bunny summer fun:


And a few of the Moxxie layouts that were at CHA in Chicago:

Moxxie is working on getting all the CHA projects up on their blog and when they do I'll be showing more here and doing a little Moxxie giveaway, so stay tuned!
And, I will be blogging over at Just Imagine Crafts tomorrow, so come on over and say HI!
Have a GREAT weekend!

Just Another Manic Monday

The day really gets away from me on Monday. I mean it's already almost 2pm and what have I gotten done? And it is 102 degrees. Ugh. So I am dragging. Buuuut....

The new ScrapTiffany challenge is up. This week's challenge is to scrap a Fall or Halloween related layout. I chose fall because I had the new Basic Grey Indian Summer papers. I scrapped our trip to the patch last year because ~Ahem~ we haven't been to the patch yet this year, it has just been too darn hot.

Be sure to head over and check out the other Fall/Halloween projects. And remember if you participate email your project to Tiffany for a chance to be the GDT for November.

I also have a new layout posted at the Posh Designs Scrapbook Store blog. It is this Sassafras layout and gives some ideas for using their amazing die cut edges.


I hope to be back tomorrow with some new photos and projects, but since this day is zipping by, I am not going to make any promises. I guess I can't complain when a Monday goes by quickly! Hope you are having a great start to your week :)

Merry Monday

Here we are at another Monday. The newest ScrapTiffany challenge is posted. This week's challenge is to scraplift anyone you want. I took Cathy Zielske's Design Your Life class which was a 3 month class jam packed with her sketches, so I pulled out my favorite and went to work. Here is my take on the challenge. I love the bright colors in the Sassafras papers and felties for the kid layouts. And of course I am loving the new American Crafts Thickers. Go over to ScrapTiffany and take a look at everyone's scraplifts--lots of fun. And be sure to send in your take on the challenge (Tiffany@scraptiffany.com) for a chance to be the ScrapTiffany guest designer for the month of October.

For more Sassafras goodness go on over to their blog. I have a layout up there.

Finally, check out Posh Scrapbook Designs Store blog. I have a new post up there as well using the latest Basic Grey Indian Summer line.

And, a few photos from the weekend. Hope your week is starting off well.
