Having WAY TOO MUCH FUN Scrapping!!!

I can't believe how much scrapping I'm getting done lately. Well, okay, I can believe it because I'm enjoying my time on the Pickleberrypop CT. The requirements are such that I'm doing 2-3 double layouts per week, if not more. It's so satisfying. Add to that, my commitment to A Fish Design and Word Art World (going to GS in January) and I've got more than enough to keep me busy. Also have the glorious pleasure of providing social media publicity for Blue Heart Scraps, copy writing for SusDesigns and quality control for PixelScrapper.

The month began with using DitaB's wonderful template for the December Template Challenge. 
And I used SPD_Beautifully Grunged to do it.
Then I started playing with the PBP free with purchase Jingle and Mingle specials
I even created a new forum siggie using Kawwouette's Jingle and Mingle mini.
Created by Jill is one of my very favorite designers. I know, I'm not supposed to have favorites, but I do. I try to use as many of the designers as possible but I find myself drawn back to Jill. I used cbj_withoutyou, cbj_starting over, and cbj_hello christmas.
Kawouette_faithinyou provided me a fantastic kit to get our trip to Raceway Park done.
I used Take a Chance On...by Jumpstart Designs to do a fun layout of our own sassy Caddie!
I had a LOAD of fun getting ready for my January Photoless (or as we call them "Burp pages") Challenge at PBP with reginafalango_littledivine
 And I finished off the month with No2Alike by Fayette Designs.

A very successful month with PBP.

As I said, I also CT for A Fish Design. I finished a really cool double layout for LilyAnn and then completely forgot to upload it for half the month! Then we were Blessed to have practically a flock of cardinals visit one Saturday morning and I finished another layout in less than 3 hours! Gosh, ya just never know.
So the first layout was with her Incognito kit and template.
Her XMasTrees fit the cardinals pix just beautifully. 

Boy, have I been productive!
Let me know what you think. Let me know if you have any ideas or creative offerings!
In the meantime, Stay Safe!
Love and Blessings.

I SCRAPBOOKED! I really, really scrapbooked!

I'm sorry I have shared in such a long time. This summer has been quite cathartic for me. I was in a horrible funk last year; those of you who know me know why. The Day(s) Our Lives Changed Forever..., in case you're interested. But ya know what? We're recovering. We're strong. We're resilient. And we have loads to live for. Not the least of which are these three! 
OMG! Our grandkids are so much fun! Kolten is 6-and-a-half and just started 1st grade. He's a pistol. Very smart, very good-looking, very fun to be with. Caddie is going to be FOUR in November!!! WHEN did that happen?!? She's the sweetest thing. Smile that won't quit, very mischievous, dimples that dig for miles and allow her to get away with way too much. Best part is she really loves to be with us. She's sad when she has to leave and gives us HUGE hugs when she bounds in the door to visit! Hunter. Oh our Hunter. He's a boy's boy! Into EVERYTHING! We had those two for a month this summer. I don't think I've said "no", "stop", "don't do that" as much in my life as I did in that month! But he's just a joy. What better way to wake up in the morning than to have a 1-year-old reaching up to have you pull him up for a hug?

But one of the highlights of my summer came at the technical end of summer. The day after Labor Day, I received an email that I'd been praying for. I'd made the Pickleberrypop Layout Creative Team!!! Holy cow! The designers there are amazing and there's SO MANY of them. I've followed Created by Jill for years, along with Jennifer Labre, PrelestnayaP, Designs by Laura Burger, and too many others. Now, I work for them, creating layouts with their wonderful kits! HERE is the FIRST!

                   Blendits21 by Created by Jill            silly silly shenanigans by jumpstart designs             
                                                Unconditional Love - Fusion Kit (a PBP Exclusive!)
                          (grandchild word art) unconditional love by created by jill

That's all for now! 
Have a GREAT day!

PixelScrapper Back To Nature August 2016 Blog Train

Well, I've done it again. Waited entirely too long to post anything new. I like templates. That's what I feel good at. So, that's what you're going to get. Here's a template I created from a layout I just completed for my 2016 Relay for Life of Lakeville.

***SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT***
There's still time to donate to my cause if you're interested. I've walked in memory of my dad, Craig, for 18 years now. I've raised over $1000 this year. Would love to add to it.

Back to business. Here's a look at the template.

Here's a picture of the layout I made.

And here's the link to the rest of the amazing blog train.

Have a GREAT day!
Be Safe!
Love and Blessings!
