We Had A Monsterously Great Time ...

All us girls at Keystone Scraps want to thank EVERYONE that participated and joined in the fun over at Mousescrappers over the weekend during our Mini-Monsterthon!! The pages were amazing... and the company was even better!!

It's too bad that everyone wasn't able to make it. But life does sometimes get in the way of scrapping. So if you missed part of the marathon.... or missed it all together.... you can still get the adorable kit that was given away over the weekend! All the parts to the kit is available individually as well... so if you got it all but say the papers... no problem! You can pick them up, and complete your kit!

NOT THAT SCARY

Not That Scary- the Bundle is available for $5.99 in the Keystone Store!

You get the full kit with 7 (count em! 7!) alphas, the Word Arts, the Splotchy clusters, and the template set! Its a big, fun, and colorful addition to your scrapping stash! Here's a close up of the kit.... how many fun pages can you make of your little monsters with these ones??? The kit is just $3.99!!

Need a little inspiration??? Check out this page I made!

Do you want another little goodie??? Well.... head on over to Keystone Scraps Blog! You'll get to see a whole bunch of fabulous pages created by speed scrappers at the monster-thon using Keystone Kits! While you are there.... be sure to pick up the quick page that Paula made for you out of one of her speed scrap pages!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Just Finished My Speed Scrap ...

and that was a blast!!! I'll list my instructions and my layout for those who wonder just what a speed scrap is. These were the instructions ...

1. Use an even number of photos ... and let's line them up in some fashion.
2. For each patterned paper use two solid papers, yes, you have to use at least one pattern paper.
3. As my layout journaling shows ... what goes around comes around so use some circles on your layout.
4. Since I'm so happy to be hosting my first speed scrap ... use an alpha that is fun and makes YOU happy!
5. I am not the best at journaling, but I love when someone challenges me to do so ... yea, you've got it! I'm going to challenge you to journal and just tell a bit about what is happening in your layout ... at least two sentences.
6. Let's scare up some word art for this creative layout you are doing ... two WordArt elements or two word strips -or- both ... eek!
7. We're going to tie this speed scrap up in a pretty package so use some ribbon or string on your layout.

Here is my layout for the Speed Scrap using "Not That Scary" from Keystone Scraps.

Don't Forget to Come Join Me ...

There is only one more speed scrap left today at MouseScrappers for the Keystone Scraps Mini Monster-thon! I will be hosting in the chat room starting a little before 5pm ET (4pm CT).

I was late in getting my layout done yesterday due to my computer ... er ... probably me according to Curt. Anyway, here is my layout ...

I used Magical Beginnings and Belle of the Ball by Kellybell Designs for this layout. 

I finished the speed scrap this morning hosted by Patty and used two of my favorite kits by Keystone Scraps ... Mouse Moments and Remember the Magic. Here is my layout ...

This has been so much fun and I certainly hope you stop by Keystone Scraps and see all the wonderful kits they have. These ladies are just so talented ... and sweet!!

Also, be sure to sign up for their newsletter here so you can see what new kits they have coming out and receive some special discounts and freebies!

Keystone Scraps Mini Monster-thon Speed Scrap . . .

Round Two!! Had a lot of problems with my computer today for some reason ... certainly couldn't be the person operating the machine ... nah! Thanks Donna for hosting the morning speed scrap at MouseScrappers. Here is my layout ...

For some reason I really wanted to play around with extractions so my two pictures on the bottom are just that ... extractions! I am a huge fan of Halloween decorations at Disney. Maybe that is because I don't decorate at all for Halloween here.

I used the kit being offered as a participation prize for this speed scrap ... "Not That Scary" by Keystone Scraps and another of their kits called "Sweetest Spring".  If you miss one of the speed scraps you can always go to their store and pick up "Not That Scary" packaged as a bundle -or- you can purchase just the part of the kit you missed.

Keystone Scraps Has Another Magical Release ...

We have for you an amazing kit to scrap those special moments at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or any other special memories you have!

REMEMBER THE MAGIC!

This kit has a very different color palette and will give you endless options in creating those great vacation moments in your scrapbook pages. There are over 50 elements, 19 papers, a lowercase alpha, and if that wasn't enough there is a full date element set also included so you can add the date to those pages and "remember those magic" moments ... yes that was pun intended. :)

If you need a little inspiration on what can be done with this kit ........ check out what I made using it! For the layout below I used Cindy's Templates - Half Pack #12 by Cindy Schneider and Remember the Magic by the awesome Keystone Scraps. As you can see, you do not have to scrap just Disney ... although we did name our sweet puppy after a Disney character ... Daisy!

Be sure to check out the creative teams blogs and see all the wonderful little freebies you can snag to match this kit! You can get links to all the girls blogs at Keystone Scraps! Here's one for you from me!

August Kit Challenge at MouseScrappers

The August Kit Challenge has the most adorable kit made by californiateri! I just finished my layout, but go over to MouseScrappers and look at this month's kit and join in the fun. 

These pictures are from Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom at Disney World. We had a character breakfast there last year and right when you walk in you see these incredible topiaries. Just magical!

I used Pooh's Pals (the August Kit), Cindy's Layered Templates - Set #98 by Cindy Schneider, and Jellies: Alpha 2 by Britt-ish Designs.

Thanks for dropping in to visit. Have a wonderful weekend. :)

New Template Challenge at MouseScrappers

Here is my latest layout for the Template Challenge at MouseScrappers. This was such a cute template ...

I used the new kit Rainy Day by Keystone Scraps. Thank you for dropping by!

Travel Mini Album

I just finished this travel mini album for my niece who just returned from Italy. This is a Laura Denison mini album called Split Paper Bag Mini Album. I just love the handles on this mini. You can look at Laura's other mini albums on her blog here. 

 As you can see there is plenty of room for journaling in this mini album.

I pulled out the tags that are in the pockets here.

This is just a close up of the flower attached to those pull out tags.

 

Again, lots of room for pictures! The above folds out to the four sections seen below.

This was so much fun to make. I have never been disappointed in any of the mini albums I've made that Laura designed. Be sure to check out her blog "Following the Paper Trail" here. You can get to her website where she sells her patterns and kits from her blog.
