JulieK | Embrace the Everyday

Here’s one I created today using Laura Burger’s "Retro Chic" paper pack, and one of her templates from her Template set #3 from www.threescrapateers.com … I’m so loving using templates!!!! They are so quick and so fun… I flipped it 180, ’cause I liked how it fit the picture better :) Hey… it’s something to do while we wait for the big MMM announcement… There’s so much speculation! I just want them to call me :) I’d be so psyched to just see my name anywhere on the big list when they post it…. I’m sure that there’s no actual chance…. but it’s so FUN to think about it!!!!

am so excited to be a part of Keely Simpson’s layered templates creative team!!! In the last few days she needed a bunch of layouts for use as examples… and I’ve been a scrapping maniac :) I love the templates!!! What fun!!!!! Here’s what I’ve done in the last couple days…… Here’s my 8.5×11 samples

I used kits from:

Jessica Bolton (of www.eclecticscraps.com)

Royanna Fritschmann (of www.divinedigital.com)

Kelly Shults (of www.scrapix-design.com)

Andrea Nelson (of www.divinedigital.com)

Here’s one I just finished using Jessica Bolton’s totally AWESOME "Unamused Boys" kit….. the journaling is on "pull-out" tags…. (gotta love layers!!) and reads: I love this picture! It isn’t at all what it seems!!! It looks like you’re having a tantrum but that’s not it!! You’re having a blast sitting in the sand dunking your head! Fun!

OMGosh! I forget how tiring the first day of school is!!! I’m totally wiped!! It was a good day though… and when I got home, I finished up my Divine Digital last scrapper standing submission for this week, and I’m so happy with it!!!! I just love the LO, and it was a fun challenge… I have a ton of stuff that I need to do dor DT’s and I’m just exhausted!!! I also have some submissions that I’d love to do soon…. All I really want to do is go to bed!!!

Well, the first teacher day was a success! I’ve got all the guitars tuned (well the ones that are tuneable… Have a few that need to be re-strung, hopefully the strings will come soon!) and have everything ready for the "cherubs" tomorrow… Whew!!! I’m actually psyched to be starting back!!!!
