Everybody Fights Sometimes

Trixie Scraps and Connie Prince have teamed up again to release a kit that applies to so many facets of our daily lives - Everybody Fights Sometimes.  Whether you are a wife (or a husband) or a mom (or a dad), you have probably learned by now that Everyone Fights Sometimes! Whether your hubby has said something dumb and landed himself a spot sleeping on the couch... or your kids just won't quit squabbling, we've got the kit to help you scrap it out! Everyone Fights Sometimes is a jam-packed kit full of great theme-specific wordart and lots of versatile papers and elements, too - making this kit great for scrapping not only the troublesome days, but the fun ones, too! 

As usual, I just LOVE the plaid paper in here!!  So many pretty colors, too!!

Summertime.. And the Living is Easy

Ahh, summer!  Amy Stoffel's new kit just says SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER! Summertime…it's all about days filled with swimming, eating corn on the cob and all kinds of juicy fruits, ice cream cones melting faster than you can lick them, laying on a blanket in the shade of a tree watching the clouds pass by, and so much more. Then, when the days get too hot to go outside you can sit down and scrap all your summer photos using ‘And The Living Is Easy’. This huge kit offers 18 papers, 55+ summertime elements, 23 word strips and a fun bead alpha.  It was perfect for my pics of my boys playing in the sprinkler.

It's perfect for the summer pictures you've got and those still to come!

My Brother, My Pal kit

I had some fun pictures of my son and was looking for a kit with good matching colors.  I think I had the perfect one in my scrap stash!

Made with My Brother My Pal kit and page starters by Trixie Scraps and Connie Prince and Big News template by Connie Prince.

I've had such fun using this kit for so many different boy themed pages. If you have boys, you've got to ass this to YOUR scrap stash!

Layer Lovers

As part of Gotta Grab It, Trixie Scraps has also released some great new templates - for just $1 for a few short days!!!  I used Layer Lovers and the Stars and Stripes FB free kit of hers to make this page about our trip to a local 9/11 memorial last fall:

There's a lot of versatility in this set that I think you'll really enjoy!  And 4 templates for $1??!!  You Gotta Grab It!!

Remembering You

It's Gotta Grab It time at Gotta Pixel and this month's palette has some beautiful blues, browns and greens!  Trixie Scraps has a beautiful collection called Remembering You.  This is a great kit for pages to remember our loved ones who have passed on.

We recently lost one of our dogs and I know my little guy is going to miss her:

Each part of the collection is just $1 each for a few short days before it will be repackaged at full price so grab it quickly!

Change Your Fate

Trixie Scraps and Britt-ish Designs teamed up this week to release a gorgeous new kit inspired by the movie, 'Brave' called Change Your Fate. This kit is an homage to a new breed of "magical" movie princess... one who is strong and brave, who chooses to buck tradition and forge her own path. This collection is perfect for pages about pursuing your dreams, changing your own fate, being brave, and writing your own story. Use this collection to scrap about your Scottish and Irish heritage photos as easily as you can your photos of trips to the Green Isle! Document your time at the movies on opening weekend... or take a hike and use the natural elements in this kit to scrap about that, too!  This kit just worked perfectly for my pictures from my Ireland Reunion this past spring.

Here's a preview of the kit:

This beautiful Celtic-inspired kit will surprise you again and again with its versatility and scrap-ability.

Summer on the Boardwalk

Spend a "Summer on the Boardwalk" and then scrap all the fun pictures you'll take with this new collection from Trixie Scraps Designs. Featuring everything from the giant ferris wheel and amusement rides, to the boardwalk... from salt water taffy to cotton candy... and from the sun to the waves, this collection has everything you need to create beautiful scrapbook pages of your time "Down the Shore."
Here's a page I made with the Summer on the Boardwalk kit, cardstock and sunburst papers by Trixie Scraps and July Templatetopia by Trixie Scraps and Connie Prince

Have fun scrapping your summer carnival and amusement ride photos!

My sweet dog

It was a sad week at our house last week when we lost our sweet pug Thunder.  She was a wonderful part of the family for over 11 years.  I could see how fast she was going downhill and am so glad I took these pictures on the last 2 days she was with us.  I wanted to make a page to celebrate her life and this kit by Trixie Scraps was just perfect.
