January @ Scarlet Lime

As usual Christy created 2 gorgeous kits for January at Scarlet Lime.

First up...January's Main Kit!



These papers could not be more gorgeous.

I have loved this picture since I took it on our lastvisit to Disney and finally found the kit I wanted to use it with it.



A few details...





I just love every single embellishment in this kit!








The Frugal kit is pretty darn fabulous too!



I took this picture on Cookie Day this year of all the Leinbach men...3 generations.



A few details...





As many of you know getting the Christmas picture each year can be a NIGHTMARE, lol! These shots are a few I took trying to get the perfect photo...does that even exist?



Some details...





Thanks for stopping by! The Scarlet Lime kits for February will be debuting a little later this month with CHA...you know it will be stocked with tons of newly release products! Can't wait!

Busy with life...

I know you all know what that is like. Being a mom with all the things that go along with it. Since the holidays soccer practice is again on a regular basis, speed & agility for both the kids a few nights a week, soccer leagues each week. I am doing the yearbook for Jack's school again so till March I will be tied up with that, Valentine's party planning and I am now working for my in-laws business quite a bit.

On top of that I made 18 projects for CHA this year. You will be able to see my work at Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker, GCD Studios, and Want2Scrap's booths. I can not yet show you those projects but will after CHA debut. Be sure to check out all the blogs this week for sneak peaks and giveaways...lots of those going on! Don't forget to check out the Bella Blvd blog too...I love their new little badges.



I do have a few regular DT projects to share.

Lynn challenge the Pebbles DT to create something not scrapbook related that you were inspired by. I seriously love the movie Mamma Mia...can sit scrapping in my room with this playing in the background and totally find my grove. I love the cover and used this as my inspiration for the card I created...I know I am not a card girl but every now and then you have to change it up, right?



I love the pink and blues on the cover and it totally matched the New Arrival lines!



For this layout I actually mixed products from the Cats & Dogs, New Arrival Boy, and Tree House lines.



I made this layout of my hubby and nephew. I so love this picture! You can tell what a great relationship they have just by looking at it...it also makes me smile!

I also got the opportunity to work with some fun Maya Road goodies as part of a cross promotion with Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker. You all know I love being on Nikki's team...she is so sweet, generous and I love her products to boot! For this mini I used the Sugar Cookie line. So pretty...my favorite color is purple so this is definitely a favorite of mine.











Last but not least I have a quick peak of a layout to share from the January kits @ Scarlet Lime. If you had not heard there is a ton of great news coming from Scarlet Lime...a new look, new mixed media kits, great challenges and a new look for the blog...the blog will be a great place to look for inspiration with all the things Christy has planned for it starting in mid-February. I will be back on Wednesday with a look at all January's Scarlet Lime layouts.



Thanks so much for stopping by...Hugs!
