Feeling Fall-ish?

Here in Minnesota it has been raining constantly for approximately the past 2 days. Flooded basements and washed out roads are the talk of the town. However, today is a different story. The sun is shining, the air is crisp and the leaves are blowing in the trees. It feels like fall today. So there's no better time than now to show you some amazing fall scrapbooking kits! Take a peek at what I have to show you!

Let's start with a new designer to my blog. I recently joined Down This Road Designs Creative Team, and here's a brand new kit from Angie called Essence of Fall. It's perfect for pics right at the beginning of autumn. (Like now!) AND, it's on sale now at Brownie Scraps!

I used it to scrap a photo shoot that my family did for my parents' 50th anniversary. Here are all of the grandkids!

That is probably my favorite pic of the day, and this kit shows it off just perfectly! We were able to capture a lot of good shots from that day - even though it was well over 90 degrees! Here is one featuring my crew using Jacabean's Summer Blues. Don't be fooled by the title, it's VERY versatile and would be great for this time of year too! You can find this one here!

Still want more? I have it! Looking for a little whimsy? Here are some fab fall creations from Tracey Monette. She has been crankin' out everything from owls and leaves, to nuts and squirrels all the way to pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns this month. Check them all out at Ninth and Bloom!

First up is Autumn Blaze. It comes complete with a full and versatile alpha. It's so versatile, actually, that I was able to use it (and a few other pieces) with a layout from the Oh Nutz! kit to follow.

Aw, gotta love those pinchable cheeks! So sweet! And, what's fall without a pumpkin? Tracey has just what you need to scrap your jack-o-lantern and harvest festival pics using Jack-in-the-Patch. Brand new in the store today and on sale now! Check it out!



So there you have it. *whew* Autumn in all it's glory! I hope there's something inspirational for you. Have a happy fall!

Hiatus is over!

Hello all! After a looong break, I'm making an attempt to be better at my blog. Part of my MIAness has been for a very good reason - there's a new man in my life! Everyone meet Emmett!

He's six months old today and it's been an interesting journey with him thus far. He's really coming into his own now and it's nice to finally have more enjoyable moments than trying ones. I'm a much wiser (and exhausted) mom as a result. That said, how can you resist that face?!

There have been some changes in my digi scrapping world since I last posted as well. I'm on some new teams! And great ones at that! I'll be showing off some fabulous designers - Clever Monkey Designs and Jacabean Designs - and their amazing talent will be showing off my beautiful children! Here are a couple layouts of my daughter, Lucy, with some of their recent work.
