October is looking to be a GREAT month filled with AMAZING sponsors! I am so excited to bring you this month’s first sponsor, the fabulous Lauren Reid!  I have been a fan of Lauren’s designs for a long time and have followed her through a few different stores.  Even one of my Scrapbooker of the Year entries was made with one of her kits.  I love Lauren’s down to earth style and toned down color palettes.  Plus, her designs are just so unique.  I love having kits that truly stand out.  Just look what she created for THE DIGI FILES 8!

And here are just the papers

Isn’t it FUN?  It brings me right back to 5th grade when I got up early to record songs off the radio so I could memorize them and feel “cool” for knowing all the words!   You can grab this kit as well as kits by Dani Mogstad, Kay Miller, The Digichick, Yin Designs, Ziggle Scraps, and Designs by Lili — all of this for just $5.00!

Here are some of the great layouts created by THE DAILY DIGI artist team (I’ll show you my layout tomorrow!)

BLOG: That’s What She Said

It was a complete fluke! I had created a little paper pack freebie for a store I was CT’ing for and they asked me to join their design team! I was reluctant and in WAY over my head, but I jumped in and here I am! Thankfully my designs have come a long way (i hope!).

Since April 2006

BOTH! although i have less time to scrap as much as I’d like, I will always be a scrapper, it’s definitely important to me that my children know their story….

Most of my time…. oh my poor house! I’m always trying to find balance, but rarely find it, so my day is spent juggling getting the kids ready for school and activities, doing homework, cooking, cleaning (gasp) and designing.

Freebird — I’m addicted to kraft paper and glitter…. for reals!
