Camp Idaho Papers and Eye Candy!

Hello! Happy Monday! This is actually a scheduled post because right now I am on a 10 hour drive home to visit my family for the holidays. So, firstly, I have a few LO's to show off.
Nicole has an AMAZING new kit starting today called Just Blossom. It is a great girlie kit that I know you will love. Here is my LO. Just so you know, that is my niece in the pic with my hubby. Isn't she gorgeous? Anyway, they are making a funny face in the one pic because hubby was snuggling up to her thinking it was me. LOL And just a little secret~ I did an add on for this kit and it is SUPER cute! 
I did another SS Sat night. The "rules" were~
Step 1- You need 1 solid paper for your background and at least 5 patterned papers.
Step 2- Now go find 1 photo. It needs to be positio
ned between half and 3/4 of the page down.
Step 3- Go find a frame for your photo
. Or you can mat your photo if would rather.
Step 4- Now take your 5 patterned papers and cut them into strips. Place them behind your photo.Step 5- I want to see at least 3 elements peeking out behind your photo and at least 1 elements placed in front of your photo. 
Step 6- Next instruction, choose whatever element you want and place it wherever you want on your page.
Step 7- Now do your title and journaling and date! You have an hour to complete your page. Post in the forum!
I used Fancy Fall by Ginger of Ginger Scraps. I am seriously falling in love with her designs. All of her papers and elements have a great earthy/organic feel to them. You can check this kit out in here store.And Here is a Christmas LO I did using a great kit called All I want for Christmas is a Tan by PixieKeepsakes. You can also get this kit in the Ginger Scraps Store
And now the real reason you are here... The freebie!
This new kit is called Camp Idaho and the last kit I will
l be doing till after the new year. It is also my personal favorite so far. If you DL please leave some love. I'm in the car with an active 18 month old, I could use the love!

Sunday Treat

Hello All! Hope your Sunday is going great! It is freezing here in Seattle and it actually snowed last night! I am dying! Anyway,
If you recall I said that I was going on a "Road Trip" with my scrap kits. I know we were in Seattle for quite a while, but we are moving on to Idaho. 
My next kit is called Camp Idaho. And it really has nothing to do with Idaho except that Idaho is a beautiful place for camping. It is basically and Out doorsy/camping kit that I think you are going to like. It is my favorite anyway! Here is my LO
I am doing the ST a little differently this time. For your treat I am giving you a Word Art Frame add on that goes with Camp Idaho. Hope you enjoy! See you tomorrow with the start of a new kit!

Speed Scrap at Ginger Scraps

Last night I participated in my first ever Speed Scrap. It was so much fun! It was over at Ginger Scraps. Here were the instructions:
1 picture landscaped and framed
2 papers 1 patterned and plain
1 circle element 1 swirly element
1 animal (hard for me!)
repeating text
cluster by picture
title using fonts not alphas
So, here is what I came up with. I actually had something a little bit different, but when I went to resize it, it was gone! So I really speed scraped to reput this back together with in the time limit. Anyway, I made it. Recognize the kit? It's Nicole's Gratitude kit with an owl from Retro fall.
There is another SS tonight at Ginger Scraps starting at 7pm PST, so if you can, come and play!

Sea Sites

Here is the 3rd part of the Iconic Kit- Sea Sites. Hope you enjoy!
I also have some Blog LO's ready to go with Nicole's Beach Bum kit, but am having sizing issues with Photobucket. I have never had issues with this being too big. Sometimes the LO show up too small, but these are too big! So as soon as I remedy this, I will be posting something for you! Have a great hump day!
