Hey there! Jenn T. here one last time before my guest stint with the fab SMJ is over this month. It's been a pleasure being on her team and working with her simply GORGEOUS designs this month! And with that, I leave you with my final SMJ guest CT member LO (but I can guarantee you that it's not the last SMJ LO I ever do!) Meet Kip, our new puppy:

Journaling: A puppy, finally! At 37 years of age, I have finally gotten a puppy. Kip is a Maltese-Spitz mix, which is a little bit of an odd mix, but he’s one playful pup! His Mom is a Norwegian Spitz and Dad a Maltese. He looks more like the spitz. The kids love him and I do, too. And he now completes our family!
(up top: Willie's not quite sure what to make of him!)

Kit: French Attic by Shabby Miss Jenn (Certified Trouble Maker stamp from Remix Word Art by Jennifer M. Trippetti at SBB)

Fonts: Century and Velvet Script

Thanks so much to Miss Jenn for having me on her team this month. It's been fabulous!

I designed this layout with the adorable and cheerful little Zenflowers kit by Shabby Miss Jenn. I love how the orange and blues compliment my photos!




















This sweet layout was designed using Shabby Snowkisses. Its one of my very fravorite SMJ kits, so full of wonderful elements and great patterned papers! I just adore how this came out, our girl Kali and her new baby cousin Alex are featured in the layout. Thanks for Looking... Click on images to go to my gallery and see larger version and credits.

Good Morning bloggers, Jeannie here! I would like to share a page I recently created with Shabby Miss Jenn's Playful kit! TYFL








































Here are three layouts I created yesterday using all Shabby Miss Jenn designs. Scrapping with a single kit of Shabby Miss Jenn's is a delight and so very easy.
She includes so many wonderful elements and papers that its easy to use the same kit many, many times and have a variety of looks. I used Uncle Patrick's Banquet to create the "Feeding Time" layout, Snow Kisses for the "Cozy Companions" layout and "Bathtime Buddies" was made using her Little Dudes kit.

I love making little hybrid books especially ones using digital quick pages like SMJ's Bohemian Brag Book. I just added photos, printed the pages out and glued two pages back to back, punched a hole and strung on a loose binder ring. I added a ribbon on the ring too.

I plan on filling these books filled with my fave photos from the 366 (photo a day challenge). By using the loose binder ring I can easily add more pages.

p.s. I printed out a couple extra flowers and added to the front along with some gems in the centers.

TFL!

Ever notice how beautifully Shabby Miss Jenn's kits coordinate with each other??? Here's a layout using Cheerful, Playful and bit of Old Letters.

Thanks for looking!

A little Cheerful from me this morning! :)












In an effort to focus on the photos of my Valentine's Day table settings I created this monochromatic layout in all cream colored papers and elements. They beautifully highlight the rich red of the flowers and dishes in my images. I drew everything from different SMJ kits. Click on the image for full credits and a larger sized image. Have a wonderful week!

Kali adores playing with her little Happy Meal Kitty. She carries her around in her pocket while she's doing other things. Shabby Miss Jenn's Flea Market Baskets kit was perfect for this layout.

I feel like this is a rather plain LO, but I love it! I used Shabby Miss Jenn's new Shabbyful kit - LOVE the colors and the papers in this one!

I also did an album with SMJ's new Bohemian mini album - turned out great, but I need to finish putting it together and take pics of it - I'll be back to post that later!
TFL!!!












Hello everyone~~ Jeannie here as February guest of the amazing Shabby Miss Jenn!! I can't believe how quickly the holidays come upon us! So when I saw the Love Shack Mint Tin album I was in heaven!! I quickly added some photos of my sweet GD and the people that adore her; added some 3-D elements such as Making Memories paint, brads, flowers, buttons, luscious Maya Road ribbons and I am good to go! I hope she loves it~I know her mom will ;)

















This layout of Alex was designed using SMJ's Winter Ponies Kit. I love the soft colors and wonderful horse elements. This layout of Eli was created using SMJ's Back to School kit. The colors were perfect for my layout.

"Love Match" (Love Shack Mint Tin Album)

Cathy here, with a cute Valentine's Day project!

I used SMJ's adorable Mint Tin Album to create a concentration-type game for my daughter. I simply printed TWO copies of each page on white Bazzill cardstock (smooth side), cut to size, and placed in the tin. I covered the front with the cover page included in the album and added a
Dymo label on top to spell out: Love Match.

Thanks for looking!!!














Our little guys are three weeks old already. Here's a new layout with photos of them in their little boppies. I created it with SMJ's Shabby Snow Kisses kit. Click on the image for credits and larger version.

Hello SMJ fans! I am so happy to share that I am a Guest for SMJ for another awesome month!
The LO above was created with the Shabbyful Lil' Kit. I wanted to document my daughter that very day because she was going to her very first sleepover, it was such a big day for her and for me too!
Thanks for looking and TGIF!!! :o )

*P.S. You can click on the LO to see it larger!
Jenn T. here again with 2 layouts featuring SMJ's newest lil kits, the Trio-Ful kits (along with some of her other stuff, too! You can click each image to see the full credits in the gallery). First is using mostly Playful, as well as Little Dudes:


My favorite part of the Playful kit is the wire & bead elements. The colors are also perfect for young boys and it really goes well with Little Dudes!

And the second uses mostly Shabbyful and Cheerful, with some other things thrown in, too:


Shabbyful is just such a beautiful kit. My favorite part is the flowers. The one on the left by the heart is from Shabbyful and they are just so perfect! The alpha is wonderful, too, although I couldn't fit it in on this LO.

Have a wonderful day & Happy Scrapping!

I created this lovely memory layout for my daughter in law Claire, the flowers were from a sweet and thoughtful friend of hers who came to visit after the twins were born. I love how this kit of SMJ's compliments the flower's color. Check out the kit here: Playful

Hey there! Jenn T. checking in as a guest this month for the fabulous Shabby Miss Jenn. I'm so happy to be part of the team this month & wanted to post a few layouts I've compelted already! First is my very first SMJ LO that I did a month ago for a challenge right here on this blog. This was for Manda Kay's scraplift challenge at the end of December and I used mostly SMJ's Winter Ponies and Shabby Snowkisses kits:


(Go run out and get Winter Ponies right now. It's such a fabulous kit! I'm not much of a horsey person, but there is so much in this kit besides horses!)

Next up is from Jenn's Back 2 School highlighting my son's first day of Kindergarten:



Next is using mostly Shabby Snowkisses. I love the way this one turned out! Such a great kit for snow!



And finally (for now, anyway), this one uses Gimme Some Love:



Have a great day!
