Connie Prince - Boys to Men kit

 This is my last layout as a guest with Connie Prince's creative team... it has been a super busy but very fun and creative month indeed. I chose the Boys To Men bundle as my last older kit to play with... another one of those kits that will be used many times over.

I started with the template as a base, then added a premade cluster frame and finally a premade wordart for my title. These little add on bit make scrapping super easy.

A big thank you to Connie for allowing me the privilege of creating layouts this month. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time scrapping. I know I will be using lots of the kits I got this month over and over again in the months to come.

Rachel Etrog - Christmas Cheer

 Rachel launched her newest kit collection today... Christmas Cheer... just in time for Black Friday. It is on special all weekend.

There are lots of specials happening... check out The Digital Press store today.

NiniGoesDigi - Kiku kit

 I have seen bits of this kit released each week this month and have been longing to play with it. Today Nini released the final element pack and we got our hands on the full kit.

Check it out at The Digital Press where it will be on sale all weekend long.

As it is also Black Friday, and The Digital Press's 6th birthday, there are lots of sales going on as well as stuff happening in the forum. Be sure to check it all out.

Connie Prince - Masked & Merry bundle

 The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting all of us in various ways. Life will be taking on a new look for a while with masks and hand sanitizers all over the place. We can't leave home without a mask on and entering any shop you have to sanitize your hands. Even getting together in groups will be more and more of a problem going forward.

Today is my work yearend function (expected to be 89 of us there! yikes!!) I am not looking forward to it at all... but it might give me some photos which I can use on this Masked & Merry kit in the future. For now I just went with older Christmas photos.

I once again just used the quickpage in the kit... makes scrapping very easy when someone else has done all the hard work. There are lots of gorgeous bits in this kit too.

Check it out in store under freshly baked at Gingerscraps all weekend long.

NiniGoesDigi - Shop Till You Drop

 Wow this collaboration is jampack filled with goodness. I really enjoyed playing with it. 

You can get your hands on all the goodies as part of this week's Publisher's Pick at The Digital Press.

This kit is well worth getting if you love to shop!

Connie Prince - $2 Tues for 24th Nov

 It's time once again for the $2 Tuesday sale and Connie has some lovely goodies on sale again this week.

I've used the Dear Santa kit for my page... the blue, pink and red worked perfectly for this Christmas photo from two years ago.

So check out the sale category at Gingerscraps and you can pick up these packs and their extras on sale all day.

The Digital Press - November challenge

 This month has been VERY quiet with challenges at The Digital Press... besides the one I did for NiniGoesDigi early this week, there is only one other challenge going. This one is by Dunia Designs and involves making a simple page.

Well I fiddled with my layout and might have added a few bits to it but in general I kept it very simple.

Photos taken on Mom's 80th birthday... just trying to get one but ended up with quite a few which now make for a good memory.... hehehe.

I heard a little birdy whisper that The Digital Press is having it's 6th birthday this Thanksgiving Weekend.... so I am sure that there will be lots of fun and games (and hopefully challenges and a sale) going too!

Gingerscraps - November challenges

 It's been a super busy month with all my DT work but somewhere in between I even managed to find the time to do the challenges at Gingerscraps. Here are my entries:

Also adding this layout to the Dandelion Dust Design November step x step challenge

My last two challenges have already been posted:

Mix It Up -  Welcome layout from the Connie Prince template bundle

Storytelling -  November 2019 thanks layout with kit from Connie Prince

Some of these pages I used Connie Prince kits that I got as part of my CT work this month. They sure helped with putting the challenges together. 

Connie Prince - #2020December

 It's my birthday... so what better way to celebrate than with a kit that has lots of my favourite colours in. Connie Prince is releasing this kit early as there will be a lovely sale happening next week (hint hint!)

I love the deep blue and the red in this... made me smile to see. As December 2020 isn't here yet and I don't have photos for the future, I went with the winter theme and used some photos from July.

I used one of the quickpages that is in the kit... this is almost like cheating as all the hard work has been done by the designer and all you have to do is add your photos. Nice and easy!

Check out this lovely kit on sale all weekend long in the Freshly Baked section at Gingerscraps.

Connie Prince - #2016November kit

 Another older kit that I found that just said "scrap with me" is #2016November by Connie Prince .... and I used the quickpage to make my layout from my birthday last year.

I have a whole host of layout running around in my head for this kit so I am sure it will be used soon again.

Check out this #2016November kit at Gingerscraps... it is jampacked full of awesomeness.

Connie Prince - Good Choices

 The bake sale is still going on at Gingerscraps.... hurry it ends on Friday. I decided to take the plunge and do another layout using the third kit that's on sale... Good Choices

So head over to Gingerscraps quickly and pick up this great kit and all the bits that go with it.

NiniGoesDigi - Cozy Cocoa

 Who doesn't like a yummy cuppa of cocoa (hot chocolate)..... mmmm. Well getting a kit with all the goodies in it is just like having your own cup all to yourself over and over again. This kit is available as part of the Publisher's Pick this week at The Digital Press.

I also used this month's challenge template for my layout... such an easy layout to create.

Check out the sale category for this week and grab this kit or any of the others available.

Connie Prince - $2 Tues 17th Nov

 It's sale day again at Gingerscraps and Connie has two gorgeous kits up for grabs again. 

First up I used  #2019November 

This was part of last years #30daysofthanks... I've been wanting to create a page for ages so this kit was the perfect opportunity to do so.

Next I used the Celebrate kit but on an "off the topic" layout...

I also used the Adventure template on this layout. You can get this as part of Connie's 40% off sale happening all week.

Check out the sale at Gingerscraps and pick up these kits for $2. The extras in the collections will also be on sale.

Be quick thought, it's only on sale for TODAY!

Gingerscraps Bake Sale

 It's bake sale at Gingerscraps - meaning you can get kits for just $1... soooooooo worth it. Today Connie Prince has two beautiful kits plus a set of templates on sale. I played with the templates and the #2018November kit to create my layout.

Head over to the sale category at Gingerscraps and check out these beauties as well as all the others on sale from 15 - 20 November.

Connie Prince - Peace & Joy

 It might only be November, but the Christmas kits are coming fast and furious this year... at least it helps me to get past years scrapped.

This lovely collection is on sale at Digital Scrapbooking Studio for today.

It is jampacked full of lovely goodies and in such great colours that it makes our sunny Christmas a breeze to scrap. Check it out in store as part of the 4th Quarter CC Sale at DSS.

Connie Prince - November template bundle

There is a brand new template bundle released today... packed full of lovely templates. I got to play with each individual pack and a whole host of older kits to show it off.

First up in the Butterfly Garden bundle with a Cut Outs Volume 3 template

Next Up I played with Sense of Self bundle and the In The News Volume 4 template

Then I played with Simple Life combined with the Pics Galore Volume 23 template

And finally I used Sail Away Collection with the Two Pager Volume 4 templates

These templates really make scrapping easy ... the dithering comes in chosing which product to use! hehehe.... but Connie has sooooooooo many beautiful kits that we are spoilt for choice.

You can pick this great bundle of templates up in the Freshly Baked category at Gingerscraps

Rachel Etrog - November Stories

 It's been a while since I did a layout using a kit by Rachel. Today she is launching her latest one called November Stories.

You can find this beautiful collection in the shop at The Digital Press. It will be on sale all weekend.

Edited: My layout got picked as a gallery standout... so happy with that.

GDD - November Monthly

 It's been a while since Shannel has had a new kit out so I am super happy to showcase this one... she packs them full of awesome goodies in the most delightful colours too.

Check out this kit on sale all weekend at The Digital Press

There will also be freebies with this kit, so make sure you're subscribed to the newsletter too.

Connie Prince - Cup of Comfort

 I got to play this week with an older kit called Cup of Comfort as well as the template set In Pieces Vol 23.

It is really fun playing with all sorts of different styles and kits and yet keeping with what I love. Check out the whole of Connie's store at Gingerscraps.

Connie Prince - $2 Tues 10th Nov

 It's another $2 Tuesday day and Connie has two lovely kits on sale again.

I used the Christmas Cheer kit with a few of the extras to create this layout from last year's Christmas lunch.

So check out the $2 sale category for today only at Gingerscraps and get your hands on some lovely kits at a fraction of the cost.

NiniGoesDigi - Behind The Wheel

 It's time for Publisher's Pick at The Digital Press and NiniGoesDigi has a lovely kit on special this week called Behind The Wheel.... perfect for all those driving lesson layouts that I need to do.

 I simply love this kit.. I've played with it a few times in the past and will definitely use it in the future again. 

You can get it this week as part of the Publisher's Pick at The Digital Press.

Connie Prince - Paint Chip kit

Connie has been doing a series of paint chip kits all year... I've seen a few and they are super cute. This month being a guest CT I actually get to play with one... RoyalPink. I kept my layout fairly simple:

The kit is jampacked full of lovely bits and piece and pretty papers as well as a set of alphas. 

You can get your hands on this kit today at Gingerscraps 

Connie Prince - A Dog's Tale

 There is a lovely new kit available by Connie Prince at My Memories today called A Dog's Tale. As we don't have any pets, nevermind dogs, I decided to do a very generic page instead... all about flying again.

I guess this does show how versatile themed kits can be if you look beyond the obvious.

I used a template pack from Connie as well for my layout...it's from the Oct2020 template bundle at Gingerscraps.

You can get this gorgeous kit on special at My Memories... check it out quick!
