By the Numbers by FineCrafted Designs

Have you seen this new kit by Finecrafted Designs?  It's called By the Numbers and it's got some super fun stuff included.  Sometimes I need to creatively decompress and make something just for fun, not anything that goes into a book or on a wall or anything like that, just something to give me a pinch of creative freedom.  This was the kit that gave me that opportunity.  And I LOVE what I made : ))

Winter Romance (Monthly Mix) by GingerScraps Designers

The designers at GingerScraps are at it again.  Another beautiful collab (coined Monthly Mix by the girls over there) has just been released and it's gorgeous!  This kit is very diverse even though it's themed, there are plenty of elements included that can make this a great kit for any event.

Creative Fusion- Mermaid Lagoon by Tangie Baxter

This is an older creation by Tangie- part of a collaborative project by the girls over at SBG.  I've had it for quite some time and used bits and pieces of it, this was the first time I really got to dig in and use it and feel like I was doing the kit some justice.  It worked perfectly for this page I created for the Art Journal Caravan (2012) Prompt #30, another page for my 2012 quote book.  I'm really proud of how this turned out.

Life is Beautiful by Sweet Digi Scraps

My little Morpheus was SO sleepy when I took this picture of him.  He was drifting off to sleep all comfy in my lap.  I held on to this picture, as I often do, until the right kit came along and that happened to be Liz's kit- Life is Beautiful, because it is... beautiful.

AJC 2013 Parcel #01 by Tangie Baxter

I am SO excited to be doing the Art Journal Caravan for a 4th year in a row!  It has been such a fun experience and I never want it to stop : )  The second week just started up and I haven't gotten to it just yet, but the first week... well, I did get my quote book page done and I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Born to Fly by Colie's Corner

Colie's Corner is my Designer Partner over at Ginger Scraps this month.  I'm pretty stoked because I really admire her work.  I think you're going to like her newest release, Born to Fly.

New Adventures by Sweet Digi Scraps

You are going to LOVE this fun new kit by Sweet Digi Scraps.  But I hate to be a tease and tell you that it isn't available in store just yet.  This kit is the Gold kit at DST!  That's right, our Liz was asked to have her work featured and we are super proud of her!

AJC 2012 Parcel #52 by Tangie Baxter

I actually used a combination of several different parcels to complete this page, but AJC 2012 Parcel #52 was the most recent so I titled the post as such.  I really like the quote, it's from Prompt #52- Art Journal Caravan 2012, a good one to end the year with.  I wanted to mention that I am keeping up with my rotation, I just had this page finished already but not uploaded.  So...

Wacky 13 by Rucola Designs

I just finished up another page for my quote book.  There are still so many great quotes that I collected in 2012 that I want to add to that book, but I've already started collecting quotes for my 2013 Quote Book (I'm thinking I'll be doing one each year... that's right).  So what to do?  I've decided to start a rotation- An old page, a new page, a scrapbook page!  How long do you think I can keep THAT up?  Heeehee.  Anyway, here's the one I just finished, it's for Prompt #41- Art Journal Caravan 2012 and uses Rucola Designs newest kit Wacky 13.

Clean Slate by Sweet Digi Scraps

I absolutely adore this new kit, Clean Slate by Sweet Digi Scraps.  The colors are right up my alley, perfect for scrapping my two little fur kids.  If you're a fan of more neutral colors or soft colors you're going to LOVE this!

Hopes and Dreams a GingerScraps Buffet

Each month the designers over at GingerScraps put out a collection of mini kits to match a predetermined theme and/or color pallet.  January's collection is called "Hopes and Dreams" and will the colors are so soft and pretty!!  You can see the full collection HERE.  Each mini kit is $2 or less.  What a deal!!

He's a Keeper by Colies Corner

I had some extra time at the end of December to play in the Template Challenge over at Ginger Scraps.  Turned out the template was perfect for a set of photos I wanted to scrap (I couldn't decide on just 1).  I picked He's a Keeper by Colies Corner to scrap with, and I love how my page turned out.
