The KI DT was thrilled with the new release Digi KI and dove right into creating with it. Have you done the same? We'd love to see what you've made so far! Post a link of your Digi KI creation in the comments and you'll be entered to win a fabulous KI Prize!!!
Here are the lovely pages. My favorite thing...digital or paper, their styles haven't changed.

My 104lb dog Drake, has over the past year, discovered he likes to bark. Usually, the reason for his outbursts are unknown to us...it's not like he's barking at something like his ball or a squirrel...it's usually because he's trying to tell us something important that only he knows.
Oh man, he can get loud.
It's funny really, he barks and barks and barks and then shakes his head because his ears hurt and the vibration of his barking gets him so uncomfortable he has to do the infamous "scoot," dragging his rear on the carpet...but even this doesn't stop him! Usually we have to divert his attention to something else or ignore him completely before he'll finish waking up the neighborhood with his booming baritone.
I recently captured some photos of him right in the act of one of his "conversations" and I knew I had to scrapbook them right away! So, my challenge is for you to think of some of the funny noises or conversations in your home, and put them into your scrapbook.
Recently, I've really been trying to speed up my scrapping process. Instead of spending hours or even days (!!) on a layout, I try to get them done in an hour or less. I've been editing and printing photos ahead of time, doing more handwritten journaling and using coordinating products to make the process even faster. I love how the fun new KI Themed Paper Pads and Theme Embellishments make it super simple to get a page scrapped in no time at all!
So, my challenge this week is for you to scrap a layout in 30 min. or less...no stress, just a fast and fun layout. Have fun!
I'm in Seattle and would love to be where the sun is shining. How about the Caribbean?

I had purchased several pieces of clearance priced Lace Cardstock online, but it wasn't the color I thought it would be. Since I didn't use that particular color very often, I decided to paint some of it with acrylic paint. I placed the Lace Cardstock on a piece of colored cardstock, and secured it with a little bit of repositionable adhesive under a few of the letters. I used a foam brush to paint the white paint over the blue cardstock. I didn't mind that it wasn't perfect! Now I had the color Lace Cardstock that I wanted, along with a cool effect on my cardstock! I outlined some of the letters with a black pen, using the Lace Cardstock as a template. I would love to see some of your ideas, the possibilities are endless! Please post your links in the comment section. Thanks!

For this week's give away.......tell us where you are....and where you'd like to jet set off to! A winner will be chosen next Friday. How about some La Di Dah prizes?!
This week, I had a present to give to a coworker and I couldn't find an appropriate card. So I whipped out my scrapbook supplies and made him a card for the occasion and then, for good measure, I made a coordinating gift bag. It felt so good to make something to show my appreciation for this person, I decided to challenge you all to do the same!
This gift bag and card set is for my niece Anja's christening next week. I found the purple bag in the stash of gift bags that I keep for last minute gift-wrapping. The Friends paper pack worked with it perfectly. I also broke out some of the pretty new Sparkles floral stickers and Cute Pink letter stickers. She's only 3 months old, but I think her mom will appreciate the effort I went to.
So, I challenge you to put together a card and a creative wrapping presentation for your next gift! Be sure to share a picture with us. :)
....or our Little Princess Girls! The two new Theme Paper Pads, Girly Girl and Princess, are full of bright pinks and happy designs that can coordinate together flawlessly. I think you will see just how cute they are....
The sparkly pink goodness of the Princess Theme Paper Pad really makes this photo of my friend's daughter shine. The Princess Pop Art Sticker accents and the Girl Border Cardstock Sticker add dimension and the perfect finishing touch!
One night as I was getting out of the shower, the doorbell rang. I would NEVER think of opening the door (after supper especially) in only my robe but DH was expected home from a business trip and I thought he might be early. I open the door and there is a tall BALD MAN standing there, wanting to sell me an alarm system (which we already HAVE). I told him no thank you, we have one (and I was EXTREMELY flustered at this time, as was the salesman, sensing he caught me at a bad time)and my 3yr old DS is running around chanting 'something'. As I close the door I REALIZE, my 3 yr old is saying 'Hi Howie!'-'Deal or NO DEAL!!!' over and over. SO glad the saleman was so flustered and hopefully didn't notice. I HOWLED with laughter once I noticed what he was saying :) The poor sales guy!

Hi!
It's Monday and time for a new challenge!
My challenge for you this week is to scrap something inanimate. Basically "inanimate" refers to anything that is not living or alive. We always scrap about our family, friends, and kids. This week step out of your box a little bit and scrap something different. Think about scrapping your favorite pair of shoes, an article of clothing, a piece of your grandmother's jewelry, a memorable gift, your favorite piece of furniture, a cool garage sale find, a good book, your favorite magazine, etc, etc. The possibilities are endless!
My layout is about my favorite wine.
Supplies: Girly Girl paper pad, Girly Girl icons, Bloom Canopy patterned paper, Bloom brads, Festive mini sashes, Festive Party stickers, Cute pink alpha stickers, Lace cardstock
I hope you will play along! If you do, don't forget to link us up to your layout in the comments here.
Have a great day!
Happy scrapping!
