Although this page by KimR+ was submitted for the color challenge I fell in love with it the moment I saw it! Every little detail and the little pockets give the page great character and places to tuck away all sorts of accents!

The team was anxious to lift this amazing page with amazing results!

Connie’s take on this page was so playful, brings a smile to your face!

It’s Thrifty Thursday at DesignerDigitals where we have a brand new item priced at just $ 99 cents and 539 items marked down 30%. These specials only last until 6am EST on Friday morning so don’t miss out.

Once again we are mixing things up for the 3 Kits 3 Ways Challenge.  I asked three of the Designer Digital’s Creative Team to choose a kit for the challenge.  And, once again we got three fabulous scrappers and three wonderful products to work with.  I think you will enjoy using them just as much as the team members did.

First we needed to choose a full kit to work with . . . Linda [earlofoxford] started us out with a sure winner!

Linda chose Maplebrook Studio’s Limon Kit.

Next, I asked Melissa [Melissa Hill] to choose word art for the challenge.

Mel chose Cathy Zielske’s Hello ‘Ness’ Word Art.

My third request was to ask Doris [echogirl] to pick out an element cluster.

Doris chose the terrific Studio Double-D Flowering Clusters No. 01.

The challenge for the team members and for you is to create a layout using only these three kits using no extra supplies and upload them to the 3 Kits 3 Ways Gallery here at Designer Digitals.

Each layout created is fabulous and so different from one another!  It always amazes me that with such limited supplies we get pages in the gallery that are so varied in design. 

Linda’s page shows her darling grandson’s first year playing Upward Football.  Don’t you just love the photo of father and son?

Mel’s wonderfully simple page is all about her journaling . . . and what a fabulous page she created with the 3 kits and her lovely thoughts about happiness.  Be absolutely sure that you read this one.

And, finally Doris wowed me with her page.  The photo is wonderful on it’s own . . . but, you must read what Doris wrote so beautifully about her wishes for her life and the lives of her children. 

My 3 Kits 3 Ways partner, Merrilee and I look forward to seeing your pages posted in the 3Kits 3Ways Gallery.  And, be sure to look in the 3 Kits 3 Ways Gallery to see these layouts a bit closer too.  I enjoyed seeing the avatar’s of the team members that Merr posted on her blog entry two weeks ago so much that I thought I would do the same this week.  Good idea, Merr!  Thanks to Linda, Mel and Doris for helping out with the challenge today.  Now I’m off to finish a page of my own for the Gallery . . . hope to see you there too!

Welcome to this month’s All About Me Challenge!

Do you ever feel as though you’re spinning your wheels and getting nowhere? I’ve been feeling that way for the past couple of weeks and it makes me a little crazy. I sat down to scrapbook a few days ago and just couldn’t shake the frustration. And then I looked around me and realized that I go through this same feeling a lot. I started to write about it and realized that there are some life lessons that I apparently need to learn 1,000 times before I remember them. And, as always, scrapbooking about those lessons made it all more clear.

So, your challenge this month is to make a layout about life lessons that you are working on. It can be tongue-in-cheek or deeply serious. Just get it down on a layout!

My layout is about those life lessons that were bugging that night last week - straight from the heart.

Supplies: Creased Cardstock Paper Pack, Classic Cardstock: Autumn Ice, Americana Damask Paper Pack, Life Banners Brushes and Stamps, Clean Stitched: White No. 03, Assorted Messy Stitches: White No. 05, Banner Labels No. 01, Clean Stitched Circles: White No. 01

I can’t wait to see your layouts!
