Finally Val C. and Jen Yurko's new collab has been revealed!

Ready? Here is "This Smile"!

How cute is that? I am impressed with how versitile it is. It is amazing how different each of the layouts from Val's CT look.

Here is my first page with it, with pictures of my daughter at the playground when she was 2 1/2. I plan to do another page to go with it, but it's not done yet...so I'll post that later.

I also did another layout this week, also of Callia when she was little. Seventeen months to be specific. I remember feeling like it was SO cute that she made the decision all by herself to get her little bag of board books and take them into my room to "read" where she could get comfy. That's stuff worth remembering!

Update, Layouts, and RAK

OK I have several things to share! I will save the best for last. First, I will share some recent layouts I have done! :D

This two page LO I did with Val C. Designs most recent kit, a collab with Sue Cummings called "Preserved + unAltered", which is an absolutely beautiful kit and I look forward to doing more with it:

 

 Also, MScraps had an "Oscars" event where layouts could be submitted to win, and I did make a couple and submit them for that, just for fun:

Submitted to the "Best Clean and Simple Non Template" category, made with MScraps freebie collab "So Thankful For":

Submitted to the "Best Clustering" category, made with Joyce Paul Designs' kit "Color Pop":

Now, possibly more interesting, is that Val C. Designs has opened a new website, www.valcdesigns.com, moved her blog to it, and started a newsletter. To promote her new blog and newsletter she is giving things away! Head over to see what she is doing with a RAK to give away her upcoming collab kit with Jen Yurko

 

   I have been able to work with it and believe me, it is adorable! I can't wait to do more with it, and to show what I have already done! Details on how to win it at Val's new site! www.valcdesigns.com

Thanks for looking!

Blog Train!!!

OK Here we go--a Brag Book Blog Train! I have enjoyed taking advantage of Blog Trains that others have participated in, so I anticipate that you will enjoy this one! The Creative Team of Val C. Designs has come together to create a series of 4 x 6 quick pages for you to create a quick and easy brag book! We have even tried to leave you a little room to add text alongside your photos if you'd like to. :)

I have created two quick pages for this Blog Train.

   The first is made with Val's kit Be Inspired: Snail Mail:

   The second quickpage I have done is made with Val's kit Be Inspired: Purest:

   Thanks for stopping in!

You probably ended up coming here from Corinna's blog.
Your next stop is Pom's blog!
If you get lost, try going back to Val's Blog to get the full list. :)


If not everyone has their blog train post up right away, come back later...since we are an international team there is an extra level of difficulty in getting it all released at once.

Exciting news for me!

I have two things to announce.

1) One is that my recent layout Little Artists was chosen for Zig Zag Scraps GLOW (Gorgeous Layout Of the Week)!

Announced in their newsletter and here on their blog:

Thank you so much Pink Reptile Designs!

2) The second thing I have to announce is that I will stay on with Val C. Designs Creative Team as a permanent member! I'm so happy to be a part of this sweet friendly talented team.

Thanks Val!

Layout with Val C.'s All In Block and Scraplift of Reubchensmum

I have done a layout using Val C.'s kit "Be Inspired--All In Block":

Also, Corinna aka Reubchensmum is featured scrapper at MScraps this week. Here is a link to her response to it on her blog, where she is giving a free template to celebrate! Corinna's Blog

Since Corinna is also a member of Val C's CT where I am a guest this month, and since I am a fan of her layouts, I wanted to do a scraplift of one of her pages to participate in the featured scrapper challenge.
Here is her beautiful page that I chose to lift:

Here is what I came up with last night, created with Joyce Paul Designs' kit "Color Pop":

And here it is with it's companion page (click for a larger view):

Congrats Corinna for being chosen as featured scrapper this week!
