Almost Forgot!

So, how busy are all of you? Crazy busy here!!! We've had a very hectic month of December, but one of the highlights has to be all the fun stuff Sarah has put out this month! She's had amazing goodies at both her home site of Funky Playground, and as a guest at ScrapMatters.

Anyway...this weekend is New Year's Eve...how are you going to scrap your pictures? You can spend your money on a New Year's themed kit (and there are some great ones out there, I know), or you could pick up a great kit you could use for more layouts later on! Check out these kits of Sarah's, which might be perfect for scrapping your New Year adventures (or your evening in, like I will be having, lol).

Perfect for a night out (or in) with the girls, is Sarah's Crazy/Beautiful kit:

and Remember Me might just be perfect for a year in review page, or a reflective page summarizing your thoughts about this past year:
If you like the looks of these kits, and somehow DON'T have them yet, remember to hurry over to Funky Playground's Best of 2009 Sale (Sarah's individual store is here, and the whole FPD sale is here)-where these AND MORE of Sarah's products are on sale for incredibly low prices (seriously. $1.35 for these kits? It's a total steal!).

By the way...if you are waiting to find out the winner of the Tough Boy giveaway...well...you've got to wait a little bit longer. Li will be by a bit later to announce the lucky person who won that fab kit!

I hope you all have a Happy and Safe New Year, and I'll talk to you all again in 2010!

It's Monday, and hopefully we have all survived the craziness of the holidays. My family celebrated at our last (of eight) Christmas parties last night, so I am happy to start to get back into a normal routine. And for me, that means scrapping!

One thing I love to do when scrapping is to use a themed kit for a layout that has nothing to do with that theme whatsoever. It may be a birthday kit that I use for a baby layout, or a beach kit that I use for an Easter layout. It's fun to challenge myself to think outside the box, and I usually end up loving the results! Plus, it's a great way to stretch your bucks and use kits over and over again.

Here is an example using one of Sarah Bennett's newest kits, Merry and Bright. (Image is linked to store.)

Clearly, this is an AMAZING Christmas kit! But I love the colors in the kit and realized that it would be perfect for some photos of my girls doing a craft. So here's the layout I created that is totally NON-Christmasy:

Fun, right? The super cool alpha is called "Clearly Funky" and is available at Scrap Matters. (Image is linked to store.)

I challenge you to try to use some of Sarah's themed kits in a new way, too!

Happy Scrapping!

Daily Download Day 15 - Alpha

Hello everyone! Sarah here bringing your last daily download freebie. Is everyone ready for the holidays? I still need to plan the menu for Christmas dinner and buy what I need, mail out Christmas cards and wrap presents! I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

I hope you've enjoyed all the goodies my creative team have shared with you. I'm am truly lucky to have such an amazing group of girls to work with!

I want to tell you a little bit about myself in case you are new to my designs. I started designing during the design contest at Funky Playground last April. I was lucky enough to be one of the contest winners and started selling there in June. You can find my shop HERE. I am a SAHM to my 2 year old boy and 1 year old girl and we live in Indiana. My children tend to be the biggest inspiration in my designs since I am creating to scrap for them, but I also enjoy putting pretty kits together. I feel as though I grow each time I create and one of the wonderful things about digital is that the possibilities are endless.

Here is my gift for you today. Image is linked.


I also have a new release, Tough Boy, today that you can find at ScrapMatters where I'm guesting for the month of December.


and if you go to my blog, you can pick up this coordinating freebie.


Happy holidays!
