Inspired by April Anderton's recent article and amazing layout in the April/May 2008 issue of Digital Scrapbooking Magazine, I decided to experiment and see what I could do digitally to achieve a similar look with the papers from the new Weeds and Daisies kit...

Jump on over to the SMJ Tutorial Blog to learn how it was done...

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!

2008-02-23T12:57:00.000-08:00

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!

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

2008-02-19T04:44:00.000-08:00

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.

Click on image to see credits and larger version of the layout.

2008-02-18T14:23:00.000-08:00

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!

Cathy

2008-02-18T09:03:00.000-08:00

"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!!!

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!

2008-02-06T19:02:00.000-08:00

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!

Today I have four layouts, all created with Shabby Miss Jenn Products. The first is of our boys with their Pop (my husband Dave) and the next is of Kali with her new twin cousins Alex and Eli. Then I created a few layouts with images I shot in the twin's nursery. Credits can be seen by clicking on the images. Thanks for Looking!

January is almost over so my time is almost up here as well! I think I'm going crazy, but I can't find my Love Shack post that I know was here, so I'm going to repost those pictures. Hope you don't mind. But first, a new one (and an old one I forgot to post!) The first LO uses a bunch of different goodies from SMJ. I'll just link up the pictures to my gallery and you can see all the credits there!!!

Thanks for letting me be a guest on your amazing team this month Jenna!!!

O H M Y G O O D N E S S It just dawned on me today, that I only have two more days left as a member of Shabby Miss Jenn's Guest CT. Boooo Hoooo!! I just don't know what I'll do without all her goodies just appearing magically in my inbox. Oh dreaded day!!So, enough drama. Here are a couple layouts I did with her fabulous Love Shack kit.

And then I made this with her cute little quick page from Love Shack . . .

And then I actually made a Mint Tin Album using the Love Shack Mint Tin album. I don't have pictures of the actual album I made, cause my mom stole it from me before I could photograph it! But here are the pages . . . I think my mom really LIKED it. LOL

Aren't they just the cutest???? I loved it. I can't wait to make another one.

Well, I guess I'm signing off. Don't know if I'll get to do anything else to post here before the dreaded moment . . .

Jenna, seriously, call me. We'll do lunch.

Sadly for me, the end of January marks the end of my guest CT status with the fab. Shabby Miss Jenn! It has been awesome and I am completely honored. While I can't participate in the very cool challenge that Sarah came up with, I still wanted to create a layout!
The artwork is by my daughter, it is supposed to be me... I look pretty good in watercolor, I think! LOL! All of the papers and elements are from the gorgeous Winter Ponies kit! Thanks for taking a peek!

Guess what? Tomorrow is my birthday! And to celebrate, we are going to have a little challenge this week on the SMJ blog!

Here's the scoop ...

I am a list maker. I love to make lists. Short lists. Longs lists. Lists about books I want to read. Lists about what I need to do each day. Grocery lists. I really love lists!

So for the challenge, I want you to make create a layout that has a numbered list of some sort. You need to have at least five things on your list. (Your list can be about anything you like!) Use at least two items from SMJD! Post a link to your layout here in the comments.

Here is a page I cooked up to get your creativity flowing (click on layout to see it larger):

You have until Sunday, February 3rd, to post a layout link here and at random we will pick one person to win a $25 gift certificate and three people will be chosen to pick a kit of their choice from this section at SMJ Designs Shoppe!

So excited to see all of your layouts!

SMJ-just had to add this sweet GC to SEEEE! :) Yippeee!!!!!!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Just popping in to say hello and show off my layouts created with the fabulous new Love Shack kit and the folded paper and brackets... some serious shabby goodness!!! I love the new brackets- they rock! In my "Strawberry Margarita" layout, I wanted to use the bracket as more of a frame so I simply used my magic wand tool to delete some of the middle and then used a big soft eraser brush until I liked the effect! :o)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get lots of scrapping time this weekend!

Just wanted to share this new page using my new kit...I am IN LOVE with this template coming soon to Kissed Studios! Our Hybrid Girleee Katy made this. Isn't it just cute? I'm biased..but seriously this template is one of my favorites! I could see doing an album with this page 10-12 times! Anyways, you can view the credits here. ;)

Muah!

Introducing Alex and Eli

Our son David and his lovely wife Claire have had their twin boys. Alex and Eli are identical and will prove difficult to distinguish who is who for quite some time! I used SMJ's delightful little kit named PLAYFUL to create their introductory layout. You will definately be seeing more of them in the future! ~Katy Larson

Hi girlies! I just wanted to drop by and post a couple of pages I've done with Miss Jenn's fabulous Winter Ponies kit and album! First off, I did two pages of my own, using the kit. Here they are . . .

And then I've done two pages from the quick page album, that fabulous! I think I will try one of those paper bag albums and just pix of my daughter in her cowgirl getup. She thinks she's a real cowgirl, so this kit is perfect for so many photos I have of her!

(p.s. I used alpha from SMJ's Old Letters kit on this one!)

This is the most wonderful kit to play with. If you don't have it yet, you GOTTA GET IT!! There is so much fun stuff here!

Thanks for looking, see ya soon!

2008-01-11T11:34:00.000-08:00

I'm really late posting these (sorry!) ....but I still wanted to share!

I used the Tree Trimmin' Kit to design my Christmas card and my header for my blog.

Plus, I used SMJ's Winter Ponies card and envelope (included in the Winter Ponies album) to make thank you cards for my daughter's birthday party.

Thanks for looking

2008-01-10T21:52:00.000-08:00

A simple layout here. I wanted to focus on one of my favourite photos of my daughter. Thanks for looking.

Have you seen this gorgeous album yet??? It's the Winter Ponies album and I LOVE it! It's also on sale right now, so you might want to check it out!

I decided to make a simple paper bag album with these layouts. If you haven't made one before, you should try it! It's pretty easy and perfect for a mini album. I resized my layouts to 4.75" all around because I wanted a little bit of the paper bag to show and I like the little border. You can also use white paper bags, but I thought brown would look better for this album. I used mod podge to adhere the layouts to the pages, but anything would work. I love how it turned out and it didn't take very long! I added titles to some pages but didn't really do any journaling because this is more of a brag book type thing and I didn't feel like it needed any, but there are plenty of journaling spots if you want to add some to your pages.

I glued each page before putting the book together and then I just stapled to edge. You can also punch holes and tie ribbons or use rings or you can sew along the edge. You could also staple it and just cover it with some paper. There are lots of possibilities!

And lastly, you can embellish your pages with other things. After getting into digi, I sold most of my paper supplies and never really had a lot to start with, but I think it looks great without any extras anyway! Let me know if you have any questions!

(I forgot some credits: I used alphas from Misty Cato, SMJ, Shabby Princess, Kristin Cronin-Barrow, Christina Renee and Melany Violette)

2008-01-09T13:52:00.000-08:00

Wow ... two posts in ONE day, LOL!

Here is a Christmas card I designed for a dear friend. (Her card obviously had all the names on it!) This was such fun to create for her. All supplies from the Tree Trimmin' Party kit.

Thanks for looking!

2008-01-09T12:45:00.000-08:00

Back again with another page to share. This one was created using supplies from SMJ's Xmas Market Kit. This was a photo of my grandma, mom and myself from Christmas Eve 2002.

(Click on image to see it larger.)

And now that I am posting it to the blog, I see that I didn't include a date on the page! Ooops! I'll have to go back and add one in. Isn't that one of the reasons digi is so wonderful? So easy to go back in and add or delete or change whatever you need to!

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Eve 2007: Kali enjoyed her beautiful stroller from Lolli and Pop and I'm enjoying this layout made with SMJ's Gorgeous SnowKisses kit. We don't have snow here in south Louisiana, but it matters not, this entire kit is massive and packed with wonderful elements and gorgeously textured papers.

Hey gang! Leslie here...after a 3 day business trip I am so happy to be home and able to scrap again. I was having serious withdrawals. (I think I have issues.) LOL! Anyway, I wanted to get a page done quickly and couldn't resist the album pages from Winter Ponies. Can't wait to complete this whole album. I added the numbers and ribbon from French Attic and stamped letters from Pomegranate Street. The alpha for Camden's name I pulled from Old Letters. The photos are from a shoot a friend did last year when my son was just 3 weeks old. Man, how time flies!

2008-01-08T13:19:00.001-08:00

Happy New Year to all of you! Sorry it has been SO long since I have posted anything to the blog. With all the Christmas and New Year activities, there hasn't been much time to post. I have quite a few new creations to share with you, so stay tuned over the next few days and I'll get them all posted :)

One of the things I designed for my sister-in-law for Christmas was a weekly meal planner magnet for her refrigerator. I designed it using supplies from Uncle Patrick's Banquet and the notebook paper is from the Back 2 School kit.

(Click on image to see it larger.)

The planner was a huge hit with my sister-in-law ... I even made one for our refrigerator! And a friend of mine wanted a two-week planner, so I created that for her as well. This is really a great gift for yourself, family members, friends and even hostesses!

These are so super fun to create! I ordered mine from SomethingBlueStudios and was beyond thrilled with the quality of the magnets. (Danielle is just great!)

Another idea would be to use some of Shabby Miss Jenn's fab kits to make chore charts or "to do" lists for the fridge. I know that I plan to create a few more magnets this year to put on my fridge.

Another thing I'd love to share is that I started blogging again! You can check out my new blog HERE. I'd love to have you visit!

More layouts coming soon ... I promise!

EDITED TO ADD: I neglected to mention that the magnets I ordered were dry-erase magnets. So fun to write the menu on and then wipe it off the next week!

2008-01-08T08:28:00.000-08:00

I used SMJ's Shabby Poppies kit to credit this LO of 2007 in review. The bright colors in this kit make me excited that Spring is coming. Credits can be found here.
