Back to School....and a freebie!

It's back to school time.   Have you taken the obligatory back to school picture?   Did you take a few of them?   :)   I did!   I even whipped up a fun little cluster freebie for your pictures.

And here's what I did with it!

I used additional papers from Albums to Remember's 

All In A Day kit (yellow paper) and Art's and Crafts Kit (green paper)

Here is a preview for the School Add-On:

And while it's not school themed, the Arts & Crafts kit I think can work perfectly for any art work your kids may bring home from school.  There's also a set of clusters, too!

     

And now for the freebie...

 I used Albums to Remember Design's All In a Day School Add On and My Everything Templates by Connie Prince to do it! Click on the image below to access the freebie.

Youer than You - by Mandy King

My dear friend Mandy King has released yet another fabulous kit.  It's called Youer than You and the colors are amazing!   If you have a chance to check out the gallery at Gotta Pixel you'll find Mandy's team did some awesome pages with this kit!

Here are my pages!

A Shore Thing - New GGI (Gotta Grab It) at Gotta Pixel by Mandy King

If you haven't ever checked out the "Gotta Grab It" event at Gotta Pixel, you should do so this month!   Every month they have a color palette that each designer has to create a kit for.  They sell the embellishment packs, paper packs, cluster packs, alphas, journal cards, etc for $1 per pack for the first few days.  This month's colors are gorgeous!  Mandy has never done a beach themed kit before, so she decided this was the time to try it out.  And I can honestly say, she did an awesome job with it!  I just love how this all turned out.

You can find Mandy's pieces at her GP Store.

Here are the pages I made with this beautiful kit!

The GGI Sale will end on Tuesday, so hurry on over and grab these goodies!

I'm a bad bad bad blogger....

One day I'll be able to jump into this thing and really keep it up.  In the meantime, you get my sporadic posts.  However, if you want to keep up with my scrap pages or with my family updates you're welcome to friend me on Facebook or follow me on Pinterest.

Here's the latest and greatest from my little corner of the world.   We left California in March and moved back to the Chicagoland area.  We are in the burb's and I got a great new job with my company that will allow me to work from home, rarely travel and spend more time with my family.  Exactly what I was hoping for this year.

In addition, I joined another Creative Team.  So, now I'm scrapping for both Albums to Remember Designs and designs by Mandy King.   It's fantastic to be scrapping for these ladies, as I love love LOVE both of their styles.  So different, yet so much fun with each of them.  In fact, they even collaborated on a kit together.  (That's because I forced them to do it!)  LOL

Here are some pages from their latest kits:

Mandy King - The Great Wide Open also available at Gotta Pixel

Quick little FYI - on Mandy's Facebook Page she has a matching freebie mini-kit to match her new release!
