Good morning everyone, Christine here and I am doing something a little different today.  My oldest son just turned 18 on January 3rd and I am feeling a little bit nostalgic so I have decided to post some gorgeous layouts about babies done with Lita's gorgeous kits.  You can find all of her stuff at Scrap Orchard, which I am sure all of you know but it always bears repeating.

Here are some beautiful layouts I found in the gallery over at Scrap Orchard

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone, Di here! Welcome to 2012!

This time of the year is always a time of reflection of the year past, and resolutions for the year ahead.  Have you made any resolutions for 2012?  I know I have.

I'm hoping to complete a Project 365/52 this year.  I'm not sure which it will be as yet.  The thought of committing to taking a photo every single day kind of scares me.  And really, I don't think my life is that exciting...LOL!  So I think a combination of both these will be the way my project turns out.  There are no rules...right!  So I'm just going to start, and see where I end up!

I have created a new blog to document my journey.  I've called it My Everyday, and I've used Lita's My Everyday kit to decorate my new blog.  This kit is one of my absolute favourites, and I'm going to use it to document My Everyday journey this year.

Here's a reminder of Lita's My Everyday kit, which is available at Scrap Orchard.

And here's a peek at my new blog, using My Everyday to make it look pretty.

I'd love to hear about your plans, resolutions and projects for 2012.  And if you are planning on using any of Lita's kits to help you document your 2012, make sure you link us up, so that we can go and check it out.

Till next time,

Where I Stand - 2012 Calendar Freebie

Hi everyone,
Di here, and today I have a cute little 2012 Calendar Freebie, just in time for you to pop in with your Christmas Cards, or to send as a special gift to friends or grandparents. I have made the calendar with one of my favourite of Lita's kits, Where I Stand.

Here is your freebie!  Simply click on the image, or the link below.

 Download here

After dropping in my photos, I've printed my calendar onto magnet paper, and I will include one in each of the grandparents christmas packages this year.  The magnet will attach to the fridge, and they will have a constant reminder of their granddaughter.  The size is A5 (or roughly 210x148mm or 8.3x5.8in), but the calendar can be resized to suit.  If you make it smaller and print on card, it could be used as a purse or wallet calendar.  The possibilities are endless.

If you download and use the calendar, I'd love to see what you've done.  So link us up at Lita's gallery at Scrap Orchard.

Enjoy your week!

Christmas Blessings Blog Freebie

Hi everyone, Di here! Wishing everyone who celebrates a Happy Thanksgiving.  Hope you've all had a wonderful day.

With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I'd make you all a little cluster frame that you can use on your Christmas layouts or in your Christmas albums.  I've used Lita's gorgeous Christmas Blessings kit that she collabed on with Rachel from Captivated Visions.  I just love the warm muted colours.  If you haven't yet purchased this kit, you can head over to Lita's store at Scrap Orchard to pick it up.

Download here

Don't forget to upload your pages with Lita's goodies to her Scrap Orchard gallery, we'd love to see what you've created.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Farmer’s Market is Open

It’s that time of year. It seems like everyone is buzzing around with so much to do in preparation for the approaching holidays. The stores are filled with shoppers that have anxiously waited for the biggest sales of the year. Today is that day… The Farmer’s Market is OPEN and it is filled to the brim with lush goodies ripe for the taking. By ripe I mean perfectly priced to pick! How does $1.00 sound? To me it sounds like a rock bottom price and one that will not last long. Lita has been busy filling the market with some fresh fruit. These prices won’t last long so hurry over to Scrap Orchard and fill up your cart! Here is a taste of what you will find in Litabells store.

First up is a fantastic set of elements that are a must have for your digi stash. We have all been there… working on a page and the kit we are using doesn’t have a staple or a fastener. Stick It to the rescue. This collection of assorted fasteners will keep your digital goodies from flying off the page.

Stamped is a mix of strips and mats that will add a bit of grunge to your next project.

Also for only $1.00 during the Farmer’s Market sale is the brand new Thankful For You. This mini kit makes a great first impression with the fantastic color palette. Once you look inside you won’t be disappointed with all that it has to offer.

For those days that you are not feeling particularly inspired to scrap, turn to Duets Volume 3 and lend your creativity a hand.

Newsworthy - A vintage newspaper alpha a perfect finishing touch for your next project.

This hybrid Chore Chart will make creating a chore chart a breeze. It includes a customizable sticker sheet.

Lita’s Belles has been burning the midnight oil to bring you a ton of inspiration.

   

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today. Now go forth and scrap!

As always you can snag the grungy goodness for 20% off this weekend only. Don’t miss out on the chance to save some cash on a sweet addition to your digi stash.

Lita’s Belles had a fantastic time playing with the supercharged version of Dude. Have a look at their incredible work!

I know you love this kit and hope you entered for a chance to win it over at Scrap Orchard. Get over there and see if you won it! Go!!!

Customer Spotlight - AngiePangie

Athena here to bring you a customer spotlight. I was perusing the gallery at Scrap Orchard and founds some fabulous layouts from digi-scrapper AngiePangie. So I decided to interview her. The thing that surprised me was that she has only been digi-scrapping for 3 months. You would never guess it by these layouts!

What is your favorite Litabelles kit?
Flutterby Deux. It's such a pretty, sophisticated kit and I love the colour combo (they were my wedding colours! :D).
How long have you been scrapping?
I've been paper scrapping for a couple of years, after I made our wedding invites. I moved on to digital scrapping about three months ago during house renovations and I haven't looked back! I love it.
Who or what is your favorite subject to scrap?
My son Tristan, my husband Dan and my cat Raz, for sure. I also enjoy scrapping our trips around the world.
Where is your favorite digi hang out?
Scrap Orchard. I've been to a few other places but Scrap Orchard has been the best, by far. Everyone is so lovely there, it's an incredible environment and so much fun!
Do you like to use templates or is it a free for all?
Free for all. The only time I use templates is when I'm participating in a template challenge. I enjoy having a blank canvas and letting a layout grow through the photos, the story, the kit and my imagination.
What is your favorite LO with a Litabelles kit?

It was my first layout using Lita's kits and I'd been waiting a long time to find the perfect kit to scrap these particular photos.

And here are a few I liked from her gallery.

Using Where I Stand

Using Dancing in the Rain

Thanks so much Angie for allowing us to feature you. Your layouts are GORGEOUS!
