So I am getting closer to my LONG training trip to Toronto and lets just say mommy is more upset than anyone else in her household.  I am not sure how I will survive so far from my babies!!

This week I received my professional photos for Jeremy’s 7th year and Timothy’s 15 month birthday.. Man I just love this photographer! She does some absolutely gorgeous stuff, and at a VERY reasonable price.   Well there was one shot of Timothy that I knew I just had to make a layout of.  But I wasn’t sure of the kit to use.  Then yesterday I saw a One Kit Call, for Red Ivy Designs.  The kits name was Blue Eyes.. It was stunning..

Well, this month the design team at My Life and Scrap have REALLY outdone themselves.  They have decided to release two very different Collaboration kits to help you enjoy this wonderful Spring Season.

I am so behind in my blog posts it is not even funny!!  My designers must be so disappointed in me.. Anyhoo.. This month I am once again running 4 challenges.

This is one of my favorite challenges to host.  I create my ad and my mix well in advance of my layout!  This results in me having as much fun as the people who join me in the fun.

Here is my layout!

Both ad and Layout were made using the new MLAS Charity kit (not yet released) Be Well Believe.

Also at MLAS.. They decided to bring back my Colour Inspiration Challenge!!  I am so proud.  Each month I get an awesome designer who creates a kit for me based on the colors that I chose.. This months color is teal…

And here is my layout:

Both these were made using the awesome kit.  Garden of Dreams by Tempus Fugit!

But of course MLAS is not the only site that I get to challenge people on.  I get to run two challenges on Designs and Digital too…

Here is my layout:

Both of these were created using the DID collaboration Garden Whimsy by Missys Bits and Shelley Marie Scraps.

And my last challenge this month is my All About Me challenge.  This is a challenge that many people find hard to do… So I don’t mind that the last few months I have not had many people joining me, but if you are up to learning more about you and leaving a gift for future generations pop on over and take a peak.

And here is my layout for this month:

These were made using the kit Marybeth (Reloaded) by Tinks Trinkets

Well I cannot wait to see you at my challenges.. So pop on over to Designs in Digital or My Life and Scrap and join in the fun.

So after all my CT duties today, I decided to play and scrap some layouts of the sights and sounds of Jeremy nad of course his birthday.

This one I did using the new kit by Tiger Lily Digis called Boyish Charm:

The next two layouts I made using kits from Round 1 of NDIDDS:

The last layout I did using the free kit Sweet Tomato Designs had on her blog for her birthday called CELEBRATE:

It has been so much fun scrapping his party… I still have a couple more layouts I would love to make.

Also, join me Monday as I host the second stage of the March Scrap Mix Challenges at MLAS.

Thanks for popping by.

So this week I completed layouts 9 and 10 for the challenge and since we have not had another road block it means I only have 1 more layout to do and I have completed the entire race.. I have collected some awesome prizes.

For challenge nine we had to kinda work as a team.. We were given a list of items we needed to use in our layout, and then presented with a color wheel.  No matter what color my partner chose I had to be on the opposite side.. Well, my partner picked PURPLE.. Can you believe it??  So I got to work with Yellow yet again.

Here is my layout for #9

The next challenge was an intersection challenge.. This is a challenge where both team members have to work on the same layout.. Me and Helen decided the best way to do this was to pick a template, and a kit, and then split the parts.  We both agree the layout turned out really well.

Here is layout #10:

And if some of you are wondering why I have not been around lately.. I have been helping out the management team at Designs in Digital.. It is NDIDDS time, so head on over and check it out!

So this month has started with two difficult challenges for ADSR.

The first challenge was to create a Bucket List (a list of items you want to do before you die).. They set the number at 50 and then pretty much let us go wild.

Here is my layout (took a long time to come up with 50!!)

This was made using the kit IT’S POSSIBLE by Tiger Lily Digis

Challenge 8 consisted of us creating a layout using a tone on Tone paper and 10 elements.. I love how this turned out but I think I need to edit it…

This was made using the kit FOREVER I AM CHANGED by Mama Mia Designs.

I found these challenges REALLY hard… I am hoping the next 2 weeks are a little easier..  Emotionally that is.

Thanks for popping by.

So as I have mentioned a few times.. I am pleased to be able to host two challenges at both MLAS and DID.  So I have created some ads.. I hope you come join me!!

I have assumed this from the previous challenge leader.. I have a great spring color pallet to challenge you with so hope to see you at DID.  Also, I have started a new challenge at DID… This one is more for me than anyone else!!

Once finished with these pop on over to My life and Scrap where I have assumed the challenge host responsibility for my favorite challenge.. I have shuffled things around so hope you will come check it out.

And my last challenge is the completion to the wonderful experience I have had hosting one of the birthday bash challenges.. Please pop on ofver for your second prompt for design inspiration.

As well remember next month is NDIDDS… Come one you designs come over and show us what you got!!!

Thanks for popping by.. WOO HOO>>>> CANADA RULES THE WORLD>>> WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

Ok, so many of my friends and family know presently we are dealing with one sick little Timmy. Brian stayed home with him on Wednesday, since it was his first full day on the inhalers. I have such a wonderful husband who is my perfect enabler.. He took the most adorable picture of my little man. And it seemed perfect for my missing P52 layout – comfy. Check out MLAS P52-Photos for more details.

Here is my layout:

I am also trying to get organized for the new Month ahead.  Next month I will be continuing to race in ADSR, I will hopefully be progressing to the next level in MLAS ScrapOff, hosting 2 challenges on DID, and one challenge on MLAS, and my usual CT work, which will include helpign with NDIDDS!!!

As I get organized to take on all these wonderful activities.. I also look forward to a month of working weekends and spending more time with my kids during the week!!  I have tonnes of goals ahead of me including scrapping my Olympic pictures, organizing Jeremy’s Birthday, Spending time with my kids, and preparing to start my new job in April..

I am now officially on 5 Creative Teams.
