You think I forgot?

You think I gave it up didn't you? You thought, "Yea, that Tina...just a phase." WRONGGGG....
I've been scrapping for about 15 years, I'm not over it...I was just busy, but don't you worry your pretty little head...T-Flo is back! Sure, it's a slow start, but I'm back baby and I am a scrap-happy fool!
Ok, so maybe that is all over the top, but whatev, I'm just happy to get some pages back in the mojo...especially this cute little snowy one of Little wee one. I created it using Polka Dot Plum Designers kit: "Ready Set Snow"
This one is from our recent little venture to our community ballet's performance of the Nutcracker. This cute kit is called Jingle Jangle and Polka Dot Pixels created it (also available at Polka Dot Plum) Finally, we have Little wee one enjoying her alone time at one of Paul's lacrosse games. This kit is called: Road Less Traveled by Sherry Ferguson (you guessed it, available at Polka Dot Plum) I am a one stop shop for cute kids...walking advertisment for Polka Dot Plum and this week I'll be hosting a technique challenge over at the PDP forums :) More on that later.
Have a wonderful day and I hope whatever your hobby is, you get to enjoy it a lot in 2010. If you don't have a hobby and you are driving everyone crazy with your endless banter...get a hobby :)
Peace peeps!

Sad, sad day...

It has appeared that my digital layout folder has been accidentally deleted from my external hard drive...what does this mean Tina??

It means that about 500 (give or take) layouts are gone. I am trying my hardest to recover them...searching online for options, so wish me luck! I really do not want to have to redo 500 LOs :(

Sad, sad day....

With that being said, I am digi scrapping with some friends and I was able to complete some cute LOs :)

Brandy @ Polka Dot Plum created this kit with Marni Designs called Defining Moments and it is so adorable! I can't wait to tackle more LOs with this it.

I was able to catch Big wee one looking through her first birthday album, and thought it was so sweet. I used Brandy's kit to create a LO to document why I scrap :)

Brandy also came out with the most adorable dance kit called Twinkle Toes. If you have a little ballerina, then you must snag this kit!

Go check out these kits if you are in the mood for something new and while you are at it, check out Sunflower Designs...I used this kit:

to create my new blog header!

On another note, my photography is taking off a bit. :) Which makes me very happy!! Check out this handsome stud...so sweet!

If anyone knows anyway I can retrieve my deleted files...I'd love you forever~!

New Releases

Mornin' scrappy friends, and my other peeps :) Can you believe I've posted again for (I think) the 3rd day in a row?? I'm pretty amazed as well...maybe I'll actually post about my life and wee ones soon...hehe :)

I wanted to give you a heads up about a couple of new releases at The Digi Chick.

Just this week I joined Roben-Marie Designs as a CT (creative team) member, which I am very excited about. Her kits are beautiful! Stunning! Love them! If you like artistic creations, you will love her!

Roben-Marie and Dawn Inskip have created a collaboration kit called Art Nouveau and it's available at The Digi Chick today and it is on sale!! Lucky you :)

Isn't this kit so sweet? It's awesome for everyday moments!

I created this LO of Big wee one and fell in love with the all of the elements...can you tell? LOL!

Not to leave my girl Jana out...she has a new release at The Digi Chick as well (image is linked)

Due to some unfortunate corrupted files on my external hard-drive and working a little extra hard on some other projects this week, I was unable to complete a LO with this kit (but I will...don't you worry!). When I do get the external HD straightened out, I'll post some of my other LOs as well :)

Have a fabulous day and go snag these awesome kits!

Scrap Happy Friday

I haven't been very active, and I apologize...life is just so busy right now! I am sure everyone feels this way, so I won't even get into the "woes are me"...lucky you!

Since I haven't been so active I haven't posted LOs in a LONG time...today, is your lucky day!

I have had the honor of working for this amazing new store, Polka Dot Plum and though I missed out on the grand opening shin-digs (family reunion out of state), I have been trying to stay pretty active in their forums and gallery :) If you are a digi scrapper...check it out, they have challenges in the forums and the designers are always giving away freebies!

For September, I was blessed to be assigned Skittles and Scraps and SuzyQ Scraps to work with. They both have a ton of really cute kits in their stores!

SuzyQ has this adorable kit called Funny Bunnies and seriously, the bunnies are so funny! No pun intended...kit image is linked to store (for your convenience).

I wanted to show the versatility of the kit, so I created a LO that didn't have anything to do with Easter...hope you like it :) I love her little baby legs!Next, of course we have Easter. Little wee one enjoying a little hunting of some eggs.Skittles and Scraps has this uber adorable little girls (but there is plenty for boys in this kit as well, let's think outside of the box ;-) ) affectionately named Sugar and Spice.I created this LO of Big wee one off in no-man's land :) I love the way the colors mesh together (I got the template as a freebie from Oscraps)And this is quickly becoming one of my favorite LOs of all time...mostly because of the cute subject matter, who just so happens to be my most favorite little niece in the whole wide world! And believe me, she's as sweet as she looks in that picture!Next, I just wanted to show off a bunch of LOs that I have created for PDP...this isn't even close to a third of them, which I will show in posts here and there :) The store is awesome and has so much for everyone and every taste! These Plain Jane Papers by Skittles and Scraps are by far my favorite "go-to" background paper :) This kit I created the next two LOs with is called Lullaby girl and I LOVE it :) (by SuzyQ Scraps) I created this LO for a challenge during the opening week...I got a free pack of paper for participating. Get your digi scrapping rear over there and get yourself some freebies!WhimpyChompers has this sweet kit called Fire Dancers and it is so cute and randomly I had these photos of BWO trying out a gift from Uncle Eric. To finish up this post, go to SuzyQ Scraps section of PDP and check out her Life's a Journey collection. ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to create day to day pages. I LOVE this series and go back to them time and time again. You can buy bundle packages in her store or piece by piece kits, kind of like a mix and match...which is what I did.

Until next time...stay healthy, happy and scrappy (LOL...seriously, could that get any cheesier) :)

She moved.

And to celebrate, there's a blog train....soooooooo....

Come on ride it, ride that blog train! Tooot, Toooot!

"But wait Tina, didn't you just drive to Texas with the wee ones? Where are the pictures and story behind that adventure?"

Coming my friend, coming...but first let's celebrate Amy's new move to


THE LILY PAD!

Once you download my word art freebie here, head on over to Laura's blog here
And be sure to check out Amy's store for all the goods :) She rocks!!
The LOs below are from some of her newest kits..
You can also check out Amy's blog here for more goods!


Update on TX coming soon....go out and snatch up Amy's goods while they are on sale!!

2 LOs

I was able to finish 2 LOs and I'm happy with them...I haven't been able to post any of the LOs I've been working on lately, so it's nice to be able to show you what I got done this evening. Happy Friday Everyone!

This first LO I did because I didn't like the previous umbrella LO I did. This one turned out much better.

This LO was for a template challenge I did at www.thedigichick.com I used Sugarplum Paperie's kit Candy Sunshine (mostly) with a few of Amy's items from Little Bunny Foo-Foo and Oh So Happy.
Hope this inspires you to get out and get something done this weekend. Whether it's scrapping, cleaning, knitting, sewing or taking a shower...enjoy doing it! Have a great one...t

The Daily Scrapper

One of the designers I "work" for...seriously can you call that work?? LOL...was featured on The Daily Scrapper and she is giving this very cute kit away for FREE :) It's your lucky day! And if look closely you'll recognize two wee ones here ;-)

And this is a LO I forgot to add below, honoring the ever popular tradition: TACO TUESDAY!

Friday :)

I know I said I was going to post with a picture of BWO's new earrings, but I haven't uploaded those photos yet...so, instead I'll post some LOs I've done recently.

I've actually been blessed by my sweet hubs to get some scrapping done, a lot of it. Unfortunately, I cannot post any of those LOs until the new Polka Dot Plum store opens for business, and when it does, if you are a digi scrapper you'll be pretty stoked about it!

Below are some recent LOs I've completed that I can share :)

Back to the grind...have a great weekend :)

New Releases!

If you head over to The Digi Chick, you can catch these new releases on sale :)
Amy's first with two new releases, and both are so adorable!

Here are two LOs I've done so far, but believe me when I say this...this kit will go far in my stash! LOVE IT!


Her next kit is equally cute...hehe and the LO stars my munchkin niece :) cutie!
