Elegant new kit from Albums to Remember Designs

An elegant holiday kit just hit the shops at both Memory Mixer and My Memories Suite! It's called Holiday Spice from Albums to Remember Designs. It's a simply gorgeous kit with lots of rich colors and glittery embellies. It is a step outside of her usual style and she did a fantastic job with it! She is also releasing a kit next week in her more traditional style with the same colors. It's another must have!

Here are a couple pages I made with this kit:

Family Traditions Challenge - MMS Blog

This week's challenge was to create a page that describes a family holiday tradition. I've been kind of busy all weekend and finally got a chance to scrap tonight. Which, happens to coincide with the release of My Memories Suite Version 3. Yes, they just released version 3 today! I've already downloaded my upgrade and must say it is FABULOUS!!! Lots of great new features! If you'd like to take a peek at the software, you can download a free trial version here. If you like it, they promise to have a super sale on Cyber Monday for the full V3 version. Watch their Facebook page for super deals.

Here is my challenge page.

New Potty Training Kit!

Do you have potty pix that you have no idea how to scrap? LOL....I had a few and really had no idea what to do with them. Albums to Remember released a coordinating kit to her Little Baby Boy and Little Baby Girl kits...it's Potty Training!

The potty kit is filled with little potties, toilet paper, panties, underwear, diapers....perfect for little boys and girls.

Here are my pages:

Also...there are matching alphas to all three of these kits. There are a total of 11 - ELEVEN - in this set. :)

Weekly Challenge - Hat's Off Challenge - My Memories

The challenge this week was to use pictures or embellishments that have hats in them. My daughter is such a little diva and fashionista. She loves clothes...and absolutely adores her Minnie Mouse hat.

Rememberance...

Yesterday was Nov. 11. For many people, it was a time to remember our veterans. While I agree and honor those that served our country, I honor and remeber someone who fought a different type of battle. My grandmother. I decided to spend the evening (after my girls went to sleep) scrapping some of my favorite memories of my Grandmother. Here are some of the pages I made.

New Kit from Albums to Remember...make that new Kits!

Barb really out did herself on this one. If you have a baby coming to the family...or if you have one or two of your own and need to scrap their pictures, here is one of the cutest little baby kits I've ever seen.

Little Baby Girl and Little Baby Boy.

I'm fortunate enough to be on Barb's Creative Team and get to play with the kits before they hit the store. Here are some pages I made.

11/07 - Speed Scrap Challenge - Albums To Remember (FB)

I had company over the weekend and missed all the fun and excitment of Digital Scrapbooking Day. I was able to get in on some of the sales, but the challenges I had to pass on. :( Not to worry, though. I had a fantastic time with my best friend and made some great memories! One of those days we went to Shedd Aquarium with my daughters. Here's the page I made for the challenge.

More Halloween Pages

For Halloween, my oldest daughter Mary said she wanted to be Snow White. That was easy, I went out to the Disney Store and found her the perfect little Snow White dress. It was beautiful and sparkly, just like her. Every time someone would ask her what she was going to be for Halloween, she would say Snow White, then say "And Mommy is going to be the eagle witch!" She would say it over and over again and tell everybody she talked to that I was going to dress up. I hadn't planned on dressing up. I haven't dressed up for Halloween in over 15 years! She seemed to have her heart set on it, so I couldn't really disappoint her. The Monday before Halloween, I went online, found a costume and had it express shipped to the house. Just so I could be the evil witch! LOL...

On Halloween, I dressed up, put on my make up and went to pick Mary up from school. When she saw the Evil Witch coming to her classroom, she was speechless. Which is a very big deal for my little chatterbox! She stared at me with a look of uncertainty. Finally, when I knelt down next to her and said, "Hey Sweetie, it's Mommy" She broke into a huge smile and started telling all her classmates "Mommy's the evil witch". Somewhere along the way she learned that it was evil instead of eagle. Hahaha...Anyway. Here are the pages I made for our costumes. Dressing up was a blast, I plan to do it again next year!

Halloween Challenge

This week's challenge of course is the Halloween Challenge. Pictures of your Halloween celebrations...trick-or-treating, costumes, etc. This is my youngest daughter Sarah, dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I'm very pleased with how this page came out.
