Meet Jennilyn Designs

I have joined a new CT - Jennilyn Designs, this weekend she is opening up shop at Sunshine Studio Scraps (SUN). And I have been busy playing with her designs for the Grand Opening.
I met Jennifer through the P365 project last year - we both made it through the whole year, only Jennifer was one better than me, she has just got her amazing P365 layouts printed into a book, its amazing!
Jennifer had a CT call at the beginning of the month and I was too shy to apply, but was over the moon when she asked me if I would like to join - Thank you again if you are reading!

Here are some of my layouts for her (and of course me and my family!) using her products,
I have these two layouts using her "Making Waves" templates - these were so much fun to play with and really versatile.

And here are two favourite pictures of Richard (Journalling reads: Mummy and Daddy love your cuddles, and we make the most of them, as we know the time will come, when cuddling is "uncool"! )

I won this kit by Flutter Expressions when her CT opened up their new CT Blog and Twitter account!

And I also got to play with Jennifer's Templates "Kickers 1"
Me and Florian having fun taking pics of ourselves!

Love Actually

I love my boys and they love me! Aww, how soppy can I get at nearly midnight? Let's see...

This is a layout that I have had in my head for a while now, but I never knew just what picture to use. When Richard was about 2.5 years old, he started this banter off with me. And he does it all over the place, it's so funny when in the middle of playing football (soccer, for all you Americans reading), he runs to the side of the field and calls "Mummy?" "Yes, Richard" "I love you lots and lots" and then off he runs to carry on playing. Makes me go warm and fuzzy all over! Sometimes we do the full routine, when he tells me just how much he loves me, and I him, finishing with "Lucky Mummy" otherwise we might go on all night!
Anyhow Florian got some good pictures of Richard giving me a BIG hug, and this is what I made with one of them and LouCee Creations new kit "Love Actually".
And tonight I did another layout using LouCee's kit, of just my boys! As Mum said "Butter wouldn't melt in their mouth"!Addtional credits on this one "Scrap Quick Templates" by KimB's Designs.

And just in case you were wondering this is the kit I used! Image is linked to the store.

DSA Scrap Off - Week 1


Well, I did it again, I signed up for another scrapping competition. This one is at DSA (DigiScrapAddicts) and we got some mini kits to work with. When I first saw the kits, I had a bit of a panic, all reds and darks with a hint of yellow, not really what I would choose myself. So instead of starting straight away on a layout. I went and did some different scrapping. Then last night after reading the comments on my Project 365 Blog, where Jennifer and Dinphy saw a layout on the way, with the picture of Richard on the phone to Daddy, it dawned on me, that the colours in the pictures went perfectly with the mini-kits, so then it was easy really. And here is the finished result

The contest runs for the rest of January and all that signed up will get to play til the end, and the current DSA Site CT will vote for their favourites. The winners will then get to guest on the CT there. Me, I'm in it for the challenge and fun! and so far so good.
