A Thankful Heart by Tracie Stroud!

Tracie is a guestie at The Lilypad and has this FABULOUS kit available! I am so proud of this template free layout that I did :-)

A Ton of Changes!

With all the changes in digi-land, I thought I would let you know where you can now find some of my favorite designers! Just in case you haven't heard yet....

Amy Stoffel is now at MScraps!

River~Rose is at After 5 Designs!

Studio Jen D is at Scrapbookgraphics!

This collab by the 3 of them is just fabulous and you can find it in each of their stores!

New Blog!

I have been horrible about keeping up my blogs but I decided to start a new photography blog anyway! You are reading Scraps of Real Life, but now I also have Snaps of Real Life! www.snapsofreallife.blogspot.com. It's a work in progress but I hope to have more fun photo shoots to fill it with :-)

Sad Times!

One of my favorite scrap stores has closed :-( 9th & Bloom is no longer. It is a sad day! I had a wonderful time being a part of a wonderful team and I will miss all of the designers and team members. Be sure to look for your favorite 9th & Bloom designer at a new store and be sure you are following them on their blog or Facebook so you can get the scoop on their new "homes".

Mix & Bloom!

So much fun at 9th & Bloom! Did you hear that Amy Stoffel is now designing for 9th & B?! Rumor has it there is going to be even more fun coming in November!

For the temp-a-holic!

If you are as addicted to templates as I am but don't have the funds to buy a ton of them then just invest in this book and see just how far you can stretch your stash! Suzy Q Scraps, with help from Cheryl of Fiddle Dee Dee Designs, has put together this ebook. Yours truly happens to have a few layouts in there too so be sure to look at the credits below the different layouts ;-)
