Well...I'm sorry I haven't posted since iNSD weekend. Hope everyone had a good one and got lots of scrapping done. For those who rode the Man in the Moon blog train - woot! woot! What fun!!!!
Now the next thing on my agenda is competing in Queen of Scrap at ScrapMatters.com. Survivor is over (I GOT THIRD by the way!!! I was super excited!) now so I needed another challenge to occupy my time. (Time?? WHAT time?) So anyway, thought I'd share my latest layout. It's my new favorite because I love the story so much. Enjoy.

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:
The text is linked, so go check them out today!!

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.

I've barely caught my breath from participating in the Amazing Digital Scrap Race 5 when Survivor 2 -Scrapping Safari started! What was I thinking??? Hmmmm... probably that I love to scrap and I love a challenge! This one's a little more serious - there' only ONE ultimate survivor at the end of this competition. I'm hoping it will be me. I'm already working on some alliances. But in the end, it's my layouts that will get me eliminated or to the finals.
Here's the first week's challenge:
You will need to create a LO with a safari theme. We are not monkeying around this year.
This layout Must to include All the following items:
•At least one jungle print paper somewhere on your layout
•Tiki torch
•Monkey
•Foliage (tree or plant)
•The word Safari
•Border (Around a photo or around the whole LO)
•A large title
And here's my layout:
If you want to leave me some love, I'd appreciate it. Click here.
I'll let you know how I do....
