Behind on my blogging...

Again. I know, I know the guilt really gets to me when I don't post. So many of my friends are after me to join Facebook too and I just can't bring myself to do it knowing I have a hard time keeping up with my blog. Oh well, what can you do. At least I have alot to share with you today!

I have a layout in the winter issue of Scrapbooking and Beyond. Yay!


Here it is:


I am happy to tell you that I will be staying on at My Acrylic Album for a second term and I am so excited about it. They have recently released a ton of new albums and I will get the opportunity to work with a lot more of them so it is definitely very exciting for me.

I am also joining the team at I AM A Scrapaholic on a permanent basis and couldn't be happier about it. It is a fantastic community and they have fabulous kits so I can't wait for January to come so I can officially get started there. Woo Hoo! They are having a warehouse sale so be sure to stop by and check out the great deals.

I had the pleasure of working on the Peek a Boo Heart album and the Making Memories Pink Paperie Line this month for My Acrylic Album. I took the opportunity to use some of my favorite pictures of my girl Lucy. Check her out!








I did a few layouts just for me too! And I wanted to share them with you. Soccer is such a huge part of our lives that I needed to do a LO with both my boys playing.

This is my adorable niece on her birthday...I just love how sweet she is.

Here is a close up of the flower.


I loved this weeks sketch at Sketches! {by tamara}. Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the DT did.
Here is the sketch:

Here is my LO using it!

Treasures to Scrap is adding the their Digital CT so it you are a digi girl check it out. I love being on the paper team there and the community is so welcoming...here is the ad.

Happy Birthday Nick and John!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is a big day in the Leinbach household. It is my son Nick's 11th birthday. It is also my brother John's as well so it really is a very special day. How appropriate that 2 people I love so much are born on the same day! This weekend will include lots of cake, sleepovers and gifts I'm sure. Happy Birthday boys! Here they are:


I have had lots of scrappy stuff to do so you may be overloaded with all this but I hope you like it. Yesterday was release day at My Acrylic Album. They have created 14 amazing new albums...be sure to check them out. They are even having a sale right now so if you enter the coupon code MAA20 up until December 5th you will receive a 20% discount on all acrylic items. Here are 2 albums that I worked on. This is the On the town album and it would be perfect for weddings, proms, formals, New Years Even or even just a little girl dressing up. I chose to feature some pictures from my BIL and his wife's wedding. Susie...if you are reading this you better stop it because this is part of your Christmas gift and I don't want it to be spoiled.













I also worked on the Christmas Stocking album...this is just such a great way to look back a past Christmases.







I am a guest designer this month at Coordinates Collection and had so much fun working on the Candy Canes kit. Here are my projects:






This weeks sketch at Sketches {by tamara} was a 6x12 layout. I chose to adapt it to an 8 1/2x11.


Last but not least I got to work with the Fancy Pants Christmas line at Treasures to Scrap. Here are a few of my projects:



Well thanks for stopping by and Happy Scrapping!
