Funky Playground Designs - A new Collab and a Template Challenge

Gosh has it really been since June since I last stopped by! Oh dear, well, I have been having a great time, first a trip to the UK and then we had friends staying with us. July was a brilliant month, busy but fun!
But now back to Digiscrapping!

First let me show you then new August FPD Collab - Corduroy Boy! Do stop by the Store ALL collabs past and present are on sale in August! (image linked to all store collabs)

And this is my layout using it! (one of the fun things we got up to whilst on holiday in the UK)

Now about the challenge I am hosting at FPD, this month I am hosting the template challenge and Andrea of Little Green Frog Designs kindly offered to make the template for the challenge, and WOW it's a good one!
Here is the layout I made for the challenge using it! (image linked to challenge)

Dinphy and I during her stay here! We had such a good time, that no one got any pics of us together, or at least not many!

Hope to see you at FPD!
I'll be back tomorrow to remind you of a chat and show you what I created for Danyale of etc by Danyale!
CU then

Challenge for Father's Day

The June challenges have been up a while now at Funky Playground Designs, but with the British and American Father's Day right around the corner, I wanted to bring attention to my recipe Challenge at FPD!

This is the layout I made for it, and you can see all the requirements for the challenge by clicking the image and going to our forum! But I will let you in on one part of it, the layout must be about a father in some way!

I used the June FPD Collab for my layout, which is again very versatile. (image linked to store)

CU in the forum

Where to start, where to start...there is so much going on in the Digiworld at the moment, it's hard to know
I'll start I think by inviting you all to join me at FPD for the May Technique Challenge. This month we are stacking papers. It's a lot of fun, and you get the chance to win a gift coupon - details in the thread (image linked)
This is my layout for the challenge

I used the Free with Purchase Kit - Family Matters by Roseytoes Designs and DonnaDuncombeDesigns.

You can get this kit free, if you spend more than $12 in the store, and what better time to spend your money in the store than now! With iNSD right around the corner the store is on sale from May 6th - May 9th

OK, what else...LOTS....first the new Store Collab is out and its GREAT -so glad I got to play with it "Salt water Taffy" - is it OK to admit I have no idea what that is...!?! But the colours are great!

And I made a layout using it, the pics were taken on our last holiday, so much fun!

OK, and there is still more going on at FPD, but I'll let the ads speak for themselves!

CU soon!

Font Challenge at FPD (and a Free with Purchase plug!)

I took a break from ADSR today (after finishing and posting Challenge 5) and took part in the FPD Font Challenge!
The font that you have to use is called "Throw your hands up in the air", I think you do that in delight, cause it is such a lovely handwriting font! Well, here is the layout that I did using it! (layout linked to challenge)

And this is the kit I chose "Funny Bunny" by River Rose (image linked to store)

And whilst you are browsing the store, check out this bright fun kit, you can get this FREE if you spend $12 or over in April!

CU at Funky Playground!

Funky Playground Collab - Butterfly Kisses

The new FPD Collab is out, and what a girly girl beauty it is!

Having boys, it was a bit difficult using it, BUT a friend had a baby girl, so I just had to make their card with it!

So if you like what you see, pop on over to FPD (image of kit is linked) and if you go before April 12th, you get it for 50% off!!

Oh and when you are there, how about joining in my fun photography challenge!
CU there

Photography Challenge at FPD

This month I am hosting the photography challenge at Funky Playground Designs. I have made it pretty easy for the first photography challenge there. I am challenging you to turn the camera on yourself, in other words hold it out at an arms length and "click"!
Here is my layout for the challenge (image linked to challenge)

I used Remember this Day by shanmomto4 designs (image linked to store)

I hope I see you there

Speed Scrap layout

I had such a great time at the speed scrap last night, it was great fun chatting to everyone, and I had my layout already finished, so I didn'T have to scrap and chat! Cheating really, but fun!
So I thought I would show you my layout

I used a St. Patricks Day kit by Sweet Tomato Designs and Geek Chic. I love that it is so versatile, cause we don't celebrate St. PAtricks day in Germany, but THIS I can use! (image linked to store)

CU soon!

Template Challenge and a Special kit

It's time for me to host another challenge at Funky Playground Designs. This month I put my name down for the template challenge, I had the choice of making my own template or asking the designers at FPD if they had one for me...I decided to ask for one for the challenge, so that people want to play with me and don't run away! And Michelle Batton, owner of and designer at FPD made this beautiful template for all of us to play with (image linked to the challenge at FPD)

And this is my take on the template!

First Frost by Amanda Carlson and River Rose

Now come and join the fun over at FPD and show me your take on the template! Not only do you get the template you also have the chance to win a $5 Gift Coupon for an FPD Collab!

And now I want to show you a very special kit that is on sale at FPD until December 20th- Shades of Red, the designers and some of the CT at FPD got together to make this kit for Cindy (CT Lead and cheerleader for us all)
Cindy is always there for FPD and Michelle wanted an extra special Xmas present for her and this is what was made (there are even some bits in there that I made...!) Cindy has always wanted a RED kit, they don't come any redder than this one! (image linked to store). CU at Funky Playground!
Or here again very soon!

A goshawk and a party!

First of all, I'll tell you about the party going on at Funky Playground Designs
I know of one game that will be going on over there soon, and it will be really really fun!

One of the birthday offers is the amazing "Life is Good" Collab by the Funky Playground Designers, I got to play with it in advance, and decided it was the perfect kit to scrap our visitor from last week! A goshawk, as beautiful as he may be, we did lose a chicken, and a pane of glass, when he took the short cut through the window instead of out of the open door, but that's another layout (to be coming soon!)Stop by FPD and enjoy the fun in November

FPD Collab "Toil and Trouble"

I am so lucky to be one of the Playground Peeps at FunkyPlayground Designs, cause I get to play with some of their things in advance, and this past week, it was this fun Halloween Collab (image linked to store)We are having our first Halloween Party for the kids from Kindergarden on October 30th, so I don't yet have pictures of kids dressed up yet, but I still found a great use for the Collab. I scrapped about Florian (my husband) and I reading Harry Potter, some of the elements in the kit were just perfect for that!Well, the collab is available for 50% off in October, which means you can get this great kit for only $3.50! And there are also a set of Quickpages and a set of Printables available!

CU soon

All Creatures Great and Small

that is the name of a GREAT charity collab, lots of FPD designers and a few other got together to make something to help the wildlife suffering from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
It is an amazing Collab and all proceeds will be going to the NWF (National Wildlife Fund) to help them, help the animals affected by the tragedy.

Here to help you decide is my layout using the collab, got to love the little animals in the kit, I may just have to visit the zoo some more!!!

A blog challenge and some layouts

Phew its been a while, but I have been at the seaside with the boys, trying to get Robert's immune system up and running! We all had a SUPER time there, and the boys didn't even want to come home!
Internet connection up there was either really expensive and fast, or really cheap and even slower than slow, so that is why I wasn't around much and now have LOTS of catching up to do.

First off, let me tell you about the challenge I am hosting at FunkyPlayground Designs, or better yet, I'll just show you my layout for it, and then you can pop on over to FPD and join in the fun (layout linked to blog)!

So what else is new...well whilst I was away, Liz (Sweet Digi Scraps) got back in the groove and has LOTS of new stuff in her store, I have yet to play with some of it, but I do have two layouts using two of the three "Momma" kits

this first layout is my FIRST layout using my birthday present from Mum and Dad (even though my birthday isn't til June 5th) - I got Photoshop CS5! And Florian got me a new laptop to go with it, so this is the first layout using that too!

And here is another one. This is the boys on their favourite pasttime whilst we were convalescing - collecting shells, and I swear I am not exaggerating when I say we bought 1000s home with us!

I did do some scrapping whilst away (not much, all that fresh air made me tired), I'll be back sometime soon and show you those too!
CU then!
