Digi Pick of the Day

Digi Picks 8/29/08

Ahhhh, I am enjoying a wonderful vacation week!  We've been to the beach, the boardwalk, the park and today we are enjoying some time with my nephew and Godson.  Later I'll be taking the kids to Rainforest Cafe for some lunch and maybe to Build a Bear if they are good.  God how I love vacation!!!!  Any big plans on your end for the long weekend in the US?

Kit of the Day...well it's an album...
I have not been scrapping much this summer, but I have been taking pictures like they were going ouf of style!  That means I need some quick albums and I need 'em fast!  So how happy was I when I found out that the Lilypad is having itself a sale and The Funky Junky Summer Lovin' Bracket Album is on sale for 50% off!!!!!  Oh yeah, that is so in my cart right now!!  I have the Funky Junky Summer Lovin' kit and I love, love, love it!!!  That is also 50% off, by the way, as is the 20 page 20 Page Quick Album.  Now I have no excuse not to get those pictures scrapped and I can even make quick gift albums for all the grandparents, aunts and uncles!  Pretty good deal!!!

Layout of the Day

Not only do I love the Ronagavino's layout PJ Party , but I love the actual party idea as well! What fun it must have been to have a pajama party themed adult birthday party!  I have always wanted to have a pj party with my girlfriends, but we just never make the time.  After looking at all of pictures I know that we really need to give this a try.  Speaking of all of the pictures, I love how she got the whole party captured on one page by creating a simple grid.  To keep the layout from looking static and boring, as a grid can sometimes do, she added some great whimsical and free form elements and a cute wrinkly alpha for her title.  This balances out the blockiness and makes it all feel like a party!  Awesome layout!!!!

Digi Picks and Where I've Been

Well hello there digi scrappers!  Sorry I have been MIA for the past two weeks.  I have been posting daily over at Melissa Thinks Out Loud and, in addition to taking on some additional training roles at work, I signed up for an online class and I have been obsessed with it ever since.

Kit of the Day
Gracie is getting to that fun age where she wants so badly to be cool and grown up, although she's barely 5!  She cracks me up on a daily basis with her rock n' roll poses and her cool-girl vocabulary.  This means that I'll be needing less pinky, cutesy kits and more bold and funky kits. Enter Toxic Pop by Melissa Bennett and MGL Designs.  This just jumped into my car the moment I saw it.  I cannot wait to use that polka-dot alpha on on one of those black backgrounds!!!!  The flowers and pinwheels are so awesome closeup and I'll be using each and every one of them at my earliest opportunity!!!  This kit rocks!!!

Speaking of Rocking....
Check out Miss Gracie herself working the mic for the very first time on Rockband!!!!

My Gracie Book is Completed

In my previous post you saw the first part of my super cool GRACIE board book.  Well I have finished it, with the exception of the binder rings.  I need bigger ones than what I have at home because I went a bit embellishment happy.  I am so in love with this book and it is by far my favorite project to date!!!!

I cannot tell you how much fun this was to do!  I will be making some FAMILY books for the holidays and I may even make one of my own name...oh wait...that might be too big..hmmm..maybe I'll just do LIS, LOL.
