Another boy - SCRAPPY Goodness - and A FREEBIE!!

So in my family there are SIX girls and one boy - my poor father didn't get his boy until 6 years ago!!! I have 3 boys and one sister has 2 boys and one sister has 1 boy AND she just found out she is going to have ANOTHER BOY! So my parents will be the grandparents of SEVEN BOYS! WOW!!!! One of these days one of us will break the trend and have a GIRL but for now BOYS RULE in our family!! LOL! They now officially outnumber our original Six pack of girls!!! And when you add in all the brothers in law we are now the MINORITY in the family!! LOL!! Totally different but it is a BLAST! BOYS are so much fun!!!!

NOW onto the SCRAPPINESS!!!!!!

Okay so PAPER first!! LOL!! As you know I design for 3ScrappyBoys. I just love my paper kits!!!! And Heather has the best ones!! Here is a layout I did using February's kit! Yes it was a while ago but I have some scraps left! This kit was just perfect for a few wedding photos I printed out! I also used my CRICUT for this one! Gotta love it!! The large black scalloped paper was cut using the Mini-Monograms cartridge!

You can go here to see my online gallery!!

NOW there is LOTS to share in the digi world! Sara, Mel, Stacey, and Vicki have been SUPER busy at Scrap That Idea! So many great kits!!!! Here are some layouts I have created using their kits!! Some of these kits are in the store and some are freebies found on their blogs!!

First up is a kit called Suede from Mel! I always find the girly kits hard to work with but this one just came together so beautifully! I think this is one of my favorite layouts to date!


Next Mel put together a kit called Bath Time! Perfect for all your fun bath pictures!!! Now I don't have many of those so I went a different route and just did pics of my youngest out in the dirt!!


Sara is up next! She has put together a cute kit called Ladybug! It's adorable!! Granted I have no girls so I am getting really good at using girly stuff on boy pages!! LOL!! Hopefully my boys forgive me when they are older! HA! THis is my oldest being silly with Mr. Potato Head's mustache of all things!


Now onto Stacey! She has 3 fantastic kits out now!! First up is one called 2 Little Bots. It's adorable! You can get this FREE from her blog.


The next 2 kits are called Lil' Prince and Lil' Princess! You can buy these kits together or seperately. Here is a layout from me using each of these kits! I think you'll be able to tell which is which! LOL!




Last but not least is VICKI! She has a few new kits up as well!! The first is called Puppy Love! This kit is adorable!! I really enjoyed putting this layout together!


The next kit is one available on her blog! She has a collab with Nicole called Darling Buds of May! This kit is VERY colorful!! Worked great for some EASTER PICTURES!! AND - TADA - here is where my FREEBIE is! I loved this layout look so much I made a template of it!!! So after reading this REALLY long blog post - whew, it's like my longest ever - you deserve a treat!!!!

So here is my layout:

And here is the template!! You can download it HERE! I have a few templates in the works so let me know what you think of this one!! I'd love to know!


Now these gals have also put together TWO different COLLABS!!!! The first is Showers in Spring! Super fun kit from Mel, Stacey, and Vicki! Visit their blogs to pick up all the parts and pieces!! This was posted on their blogs last day of April so you should still be able to get it all!! I created a few layouts with this COLLAB:



And the next Collab is from Sara, Vicki, Mel, and Stacey!! This one is called Scrap that Season and is JAM PACKED- pick up this fabulous kit for only $4.00! Here is my layout using a part from each season!


I think that is enough fun for one BLOG POST!! This is what I get when I wait so long to post I guess!!!! THANK you for sticking with me!!!! I really am trying to be better at this blogging thing! I'll have more layouts and a few more templates to come in the following weeks!!!! FOR NOW - HAPPY SCRAPPIN'!!!!!

I Love your template but when I clicked the link it said the file link you requested is not valid,just thought I would let you know xox

Nina S said...

Great LOs! I love your template--but when I clicked on the link, I got an error message saying it was not a valid link.

I don't know if it's my computer or the link. Could you check it out? I'd love to have this template!

Lois B said...

I tried downloading the wonderful template but it says the file is not valid :(

Michelle said...

Awesome template and layouts. Thank you so much for sharing!

belle said...

Great template and layout. 4shared says "The file link that you requested is not valid" 'though.

Cute template, but the link isn't working for me - is it just me??

Michelle Simone said...

I love the template. I'm still kind of new to digital scrapping, and templates really inspire me because I'm a little timid (and somewhat disorganized) with the placement of the elements and papers on my pages. Thank you :)

Your layouts are cute and I like the template. I don't actually scrap much, so I like to be able to put all 3 kids on each page! BUT the link doesn't work - well it does but it says it's an invalid file or something. Thanks (PS I came here from Vicki's)

Melanie said...

Great template. Thank you!

Thanks for the template. Your layouts are truly inspiring! I saved a copy of some of them to recreate for my own albums. Wow!

I just spent a lot of time reviewing all of your layouts and reading your blog entries!

You are SOOOO talented! I love your layouts! It's crazy, because I'll see a kit and think, "gosh, I don't have any photos that I could scrap with that kit..." or whatever....and then I see layouts such as many that you have put together and now I am convinced there are 4 kits I MUST have that I would have probably never purchased if it weren't for your talent!

Thanks for sharing your awesome creativity with all of us! I have been a fan of Vicki, Mel, Sara, and Stacey for a loooong time!

I'll definitely be coming back to your blog for more inspiration in the future!!

Hugs and thanks!!!
