Time for an long overdue update

OK, ok, I know. I am a horrible blogger. I didn't realize that I haven't posted in over a month, so I have lots to show you. I have been busy creating LO's for the fab designers over at MLAS so be patient with me as I showcase their products and of course some pages that I created with them. In July I worked with kits from Jacquies and Samceline. This month I was given the chance to work with Crafty Bits and Battleships and Rucola Designs. And of course I can't forget about ScrapElf.

Now on to the kit preview and LO's. Sit back, relax, take a look see, and then maybe shop for some new kits.

Jacquies





I also used a store collab with the wordart for a second LO.







Samceline









Crafty Bits and Battleships









Rucola Designs









ScrapElf







Wow huh, I told you it was going to be long, but at least there wasn't reading. Although you may want to read this.

Jacquies is closing her store due to personal reasons and all her products are 50% off. So hurry on over and grab some great stuff before it is too late.

Also don't forget tomorrow is Thrifty Thursday at MLAS. There are also lots of new challenges taking place as most of our challenges are new every 2 weeks. Stay tunes and see what challenge I will be hosting starting Sept. 1.

Crafty Bits And Battleships

As I have mentioned in an earlier post I am a member of the Spirit Squad at MLAS and for my first assignment I was given a great kit from Crafty Bits And Battleships called Oh Say Can You See. Even though it is a kit for celebrating Independance Day and I am Canadian I found it very easy to work with. Here is a preview for the kit.



And the LO I made with it.



The designers at MLAS are doing a blog train starting today called Polar Opposites. Get aboard with the first stop at MLAS. Here is a LO I made with ScrapElf's part.
