New Releases at Scrapmuss Designs and Man in the Moon Designs

Sorry I'm a bit tardy in posting my fave new releases this week.  On Friday two new kits were released at ScrapMatters.com that I want to tell you about.  First, there's a stunning, gorgeous new kit from Scrapmuss Designs called "Music of My Memories."  This is such a wonderful kit for scrapping those old family photos - and frankly for anything you want to make a keepsake.  It is just so beautiful!  Here's the preview:


And here's the LO I created with it...

The next kit is soooo super cute and fun I could NOT stop scrapping with it.  (Of course, it doesn't hurt that my favorite pictures to take of my little guy are in the tub.  LOL) This kit is from Man in the Moon Designs and is called "Good Clean Fun".  Here's the preview:



And here are two of the many layouts I made with this kit:

New Releases at Chelle's Creations

Chelle released an awesome new kit... just in time for the greatest American season... spring?  NO!  Baseball season.  :)  For those of you with T-ball or Little League games - even school and pro games, you have to get this kit.  And, as always, Chelle's offering the most common colors as an add-on too, not to mention, the perfect add-on for girl's softball.  How great is that?

Made some papers for my survivor layout...

I made some papers for my Scrapping Survivor layout for Challenge #2.  I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I made my own... and I'm sharing them with you.  Here's the link to 4Shared to download the blue textured paper.  I'll come back and add the yellow/peach paper later.

You have been in on this Safari for a few days and nights now. I am sure you will all agree that the Sunsets and Sunrises of the Savanna are absolutely amazing!!

The Rules-

•The LO must have at least one Photograph of the Sunset or Sunrise at your home.

•The Photograph must be the largest of all photos in the LO.

•The color of your LO must be taken from the colors in the photograph. Example- if your sunset is orange, pink, and blue- your paper, elements etc must be orange, pink, and blue. Look through your stash for just the perfect colors goodies- or adjust the hue/ saturation of any goodies to match your Sunset/ sunrise photograph.
Additional Rules-

Deadline for LO to be posted is Monday April 5 - 11:59 PM Pacific Time.

The 10 ladies that have immunity- they still MUST complete and post their LO by the deadline- but they are safe from the vote off.
