Manic Monday

First day of a long week.  And today is looking hectic, so it truly will be a Manic Monday for me.  After I drove my 2 older kids to their high schools, I had to get gas and then a quick stop at the organic grocery store to pick up some items in desperate need that I can't buy any place else.  Then off to Trinity, my younger 2 kids' school, to work on the Scrip program.  Then home to eat, caffeine and try not to fall asleep.  I have to be at my daughter's school by 2:30 pm today b/c we have to rush over to my son's high school, which is 15 minutes away.  She's taking an ACT prep class there on Monday afternoons this month.  And then later, it's Parent Teacher conferences at Lutheran NorthWest, so we may as well hang around there.  It's a waste of gas just to drive home & turn around and drive back in 30 minutes.  I know I will be worn out exhausted.

Onto better things that make me smile.   I have another layout to show you about the ColorFest, but this time with different designers but still part of the March Buffet at GingerScraps!

This time the template is designed by Dear Friends Designs and is from the "Color Me Happy" template pack.
The page kit is by Little Rad Trio is the kit is "Left Brain, Right Brain."
I highlighted the tile with a glitter style from Miss Mis Designs' "Mommin' Ain't Easy" Style Pack.

I love this double page template.  I can't wait to print it out.

What I used:

Sorry it's so short today, but I gotta scoot.  I hope you like what you see!

More New Buffet items at GingerScraps

I worked with a few of the Buffet packs at GingerScraps.  This month, the theme is bright, primary colors, like a rainbow.  I thought "This is perfect to finally scrap those photos from the ColorFest."  I took Noah & Ethan a couple of years ago to Michigan's ColorFest which is a way to celebrate Holi Festival or Festival of Colors.  It was a lot of fun, but Im sure not the true holiday celebration.

Anyways, here's a couple of layouts I created using "SunShine" bundle by  Laurie's Scraps & Designs, along with a template from "Amazing Year-March 2" template pack by Tinci's Designs.

Here's a look at the Sunshine kit and bundle:

Tinci's Designs Amazing Year - March 2 template pack:

Today is the last day for the Buffet Sale at 50% off!  So go shopping and get scrapping!

Another layout using Miss Mis Designs' "Mommin' Ain't Easy"

Over at GingerScraps, they are having the annual "Scrapping Survivor" contest.  For week 2, we had to document a day of what we were feeling and the photos had to be very recent, within the week.  Here is mine:

I created this page from "Mommin' Ain't Easy" bundle by Miss Mis Designs specifically using the Page kit, card stocks, word art and journal cards:

I also used a template by Neverland Scraps called "Pixie Plate 83" but with a few modifications.

I thought the kit was perfect for scrapping this idea and moment in my life.

What do you think?

Lastest page kit and extras bundle by Miss Mis Designs

Hello there! Long time, no type! I'm so sorry I've been ignoring my poor little blog! I really need to update this. I was working for awhile at Subway - we bought a Subway a few years ago and I've been working there. Not so much lately because we got some great employees and manager. But also we did have a contract with the local school and I had to deliver and sign off. Now, I have 2 kids in high school and 2 kids in grade School. My 2 older kids go to separate high schools and the high schools are in another county. Not too far, but in traffic, it's an hour each way. Sometimes, I go through a 1/4 tank of gas in one day. Plus, there were some personal issues. You'll see them in my scrap layouts as they come out. I'm back to digiscrapping again. Yay! Currently, I am on Miss Mis Designs Creative Team and the GingerScraps Store Site Creative Team. I was able to land a guest spot on the store's Guest CT last month. And they were so please with my work that they offered me a permanent spot! Wow! For some Scrapping News - It is Buffet Time at Gingerscraps! Buffet is where several designers at Gingerscraps create kits, templates, alphas, journal cards, etc., all in the same color pallete so you can mix and match packs between different designers. And they're on sale for 50% off for a limited time! For example, Miss Mis Designs has made a huge variety of packs for the buffet called "Mommin' Ain't Easy."

And here's my layout I created using the Full kit, bonus papers, cardstock, word art, journal cards and glitter style that are in the bundle:

I also used a template from Life Pages '17 February Week 5 templates pack by JBS Templates:
