Game On from AmyDane Designs and a Freebie QP

I was so so excited to get this new kit from AmyDane Designs. It is a basketball kit designed for teens and it is SO awesome! I just loved all the unique elements and the colors were great to work with. I was a little worried because basketball season for this year hasn't started yet and I thought all of my old pictures were scrapped, but I did find some from many years ago that I hadn't done yet, so I was able to scan them in and use them with this kit. It also matched our family picture attire for this year so I got those layouts done with it too! I think I'm getting ahead of myself, so first of all, here is a preview of the kit and it is linked to the store where it is on sale for $2.50 this week.

Here is my basketball layout from my now 15 year old when he played his first year of basketball back in 3rd grade.

And here are the layouts of each of my boys from our family photo shoot

I also have to show you how great my cloning skills are because I was so proud of myself. See the family picture in the layouts above? Well this is what it looked like originally. Am I amazing or what?!

Here is your QP, just click on the preview to download.

Don’t forget the speed scrap today and there is another one tomorrow. Here are the details.
B2N2 Scraps is hosting a speed scrap at Stuff to Scrap on Friday, November 5th as a part of the International Digital Scrapbook Day festivities. Come join us in the chatroom or forum for an hour of fun and scrapping. There's a great prize for participating-a mini kit called Fall Blooms! Hope to see many of you there.

Since all of the hunts are pretty much ended now, we thought we’d put our Tag Em and Bag Em hunting kit in the $2 bin one more time. So grab it while it is on sale along with the coordinating QP pack.

Then for all of you hunting widows that just hung out at camp or at the cabin, we have our fun At The Cabin kit and it’s coordinating QPs for $2 each on Tuesday also. All images are linked to the store.

My good friends at AmyDane Designs have their Barely kit and their Cuddle Bug kit in the $2 bin today!

New CT Announcement – Denim and Daisies

I’m so excited to introduce our new CT to you today! You may have noticed the new faces on our sidebar, but I’m here to officially introduce them all to you now! We are so excited for our new team!

Emily, Brooke, Amy, Dana J and Adriana from our old team are still with us and we are so happy that they are staying on. We know their work is awesome and they are so dependable and great to work with. We have also added 4 new members. Here are their Pictures and a little bio from each of them so you can get to know them better.

Tammy aka tamlia

My name is Tammy. I have a wonderfully supportive husband and 3 great kids - 14 year old daughter, 7 year old son, and 18 month old son. I work outside of the home (unfortunately), but in what little spare time I have - I spend time with our family, friends, dabble in a little photography, and of course...digi-scrappin'. I've been scrapbooking for over 10 years (traditionally), until I discovered the digital scrapbooking world in early 2009 as I prepared to make my youngest son's baby book. I'm just learning to design a little here and there, and have truly enjoyed meeting so many great women from all over the world. I currently create for ten other designers, and am thrilled to be able to join Lori and Heidi's team.

Kathy aka kladle

My name is Kathy. I am the mom of 2 darling girls ages 13 and 4 years old. I have been married to my honey for 19 years. I have been doing digital scrapbooking for about 3 years and occasionally find myself designing some freebie kits. I am very excited to CT for Scraps N' Pieces as I have admired their kits since they began designing.

Lindsay aka ljacobsen

My name is Lindsay. I have been married to my wonderful husband Kenny for almost 9 years. We live in a small town in Southeast Idaho on our farm/ranch with our 4 children. I was a paper scrapper for many years until December 2008 when my mom introduced me to digital scrapping. I quickly fell in love with the idea of "scrapping without the mess"! I also enjoy spending time with my family, camping, reading, and watching sports.

Sheri aka sgroenke – She will be a bit familiar to you, she has been a temp for us for a while and is now full time.

I’m a work at home mom of two boys who are 3 and 1 and have been married to my husband who is a teacher and coach for 6 years now. I’m a certified special education teacher working from my home as a tutor for our district home and community program. With my free time, I love taking pictures of my family and scrapping those pictures of course as well as reading and knitting. I have no shortage of pictures to scrap with our busy life and most of my free time is spent doing just that! I’m also in charge of a scrap group that meets once a month at my church. I really enjoy working with and inspiring others to tell their family’s stories.

We had all of them work with our Denim and Daisies kit that you can pick up in the store, and believe me, you will want to after you see these inspiring layouts they did with it. Image is linked to the store.

Autumn Harvest – STS Mega Kit

The Stuff to Scrap Designers Mega kit this month is simply beautiful! I am amazed at how awesome and breathtakingly beautiful the preview is! So pretty! It is in the store today and it is huge! You can scrap your fall pictures for years to come with this kit including 97 papers, 138 elements and 2 full alphas. Image is linked to the store.

Here is a better look at just the papers for this kit.

and just the elements

and for those of you that prefer Quick Pages, here is a set with 17 of them made from this kit. Don’t forget that you can get this QP pack for free with a purchase of $10 from the store!

Don’t forget the iNSD activities this weekend and the all new November challenges in the forum that should be posting today!

November Build A Kit

Scraps N Pieces didn’t do a Build A Kit portion this month, but I did have the chance to work with four fantastic portions! Two from AmyDane Designs and two from Scrapalicious Cereal.
First of all, here is my layout. These are really old pictures from 2003 that I needed to scrap in my family album. Don’t you love the cute ribbons wrapped around the other elements. So fun! I recolored the alpha to match the colors of papers I was using, but that just shows you how easy they are to recolor. The colors in these kits are just awesome and make beautiful layouts.

Here are previews of the cardstocks and alpha from AmyDane Designs. Images are linked.

and here are previews of the elements and pattern paper pack from Scrapalicious Cereal

STS Blog Train Freebie – Safe and Sound

The blog train theme this month was based on child safety and it is a fun one. We based our mini kit on Police and Traffic safety. Probably because I had just taken my cub scouts to visit the police station the week I made it so it was on my mind. We hope you enjoy our part. Here is a preview and it is linked to our store to download for free there for the month of November, then it won’t be free anymore.
