Clip It Up Day!!

Hi everyone!

Today is my day again to post on the Simply Renee

Clip It Up blog. I was the special recipient of the Oasis

line from My Little Shoebox. MLS was kind enough to

send some product to me through Clip It Up and I

couldn't have been more thrilled! I have been wanting

to scrap with the Oasis line ever since I first spotted

those cute little girls and cherry blossoms on the paper

and stickers because I knew that I had just the perfect

photos to coordinate with the Oasis line!!!

These photos are from a couple of Halloweens back

when Becca dressed up as a Geisha Girl...I know right?!!

How perfect are these photos, I knew I had to have it!

Also, I want to share with you how I am using my

Clip It Up. I often receive product from DT's and companies

just like I did with the My Little Shoebox Oasis line, and of

course boxes of my own online orders and I was completely

running out of space in my scraproom for being able to

store all of these lines together. I didn't want to mix all of

these coordinating lines into my general storage for fear

that I may never find each individual piece of the lines

again, so I made good use of my Clip It Up!! All of my alphas

that coordinate with the product lines are hung on one

section of the Clip It Up with larger alphas on bottom and

the smaller alphas on the upper tier, while all of my embellies

such as stickers, rub ons, die cuts, flowers, etc. are hung on

the other two sections of the Clip It Up base and upper tier.

Now, I have all of my go-to product lines at the tip of my

fingers and the best part is that there's still room to spare!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

WooooHooooo!!!!

I am thrilled beyond belief to share the news that

I've been holding on to for about a week now...

I made the Donna Salazar DT!!!!

WoooHoooo!!!!!!

I honestly couldn't believe it when Donna called

me last week, and to make it worse I was chasing

Carter around the yard because it was sooo nice

outside that day and really the first day that felt

like spring this year. Donna probably thought that

I wasn't excited what-so-ever because not ony was

I occupied with chasing a two year old very active

boy around the yard on the first day he's been able

to get out of the house in over six months, but then

there's that fact that I'm not the screaming with joy

kind of person...I actually don't react to things at all

because I usually need a little while to let them sink

in and then I have to accept that it actually just

happened and wasn't some sort of trick or my imagination.

lol :) oh, what she must have thought of me!

Anyhow, I'm crazy excited and just can't wait to get

started creating!! WOW, that's going to be one happy

mail day when all of those DSD goodies arrive at my door!

Check out Donna's Blog to see all of the other

designers chosen for the 2011-2012 DT term.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

adorable (and yes, there is also a Safari Boy line that's

just as cute in blues instead of pinks) and I absolutely

love the cute little animals that can be used for such

a variety of themes like baby or toddler of course and

also zoo trips. Here's my Safari Girl layout using a

Sneaks, March Release, & Some Pics

Whew, lots going on this week!

First off I'd like to let you all know that

Some Odd Girl Digital Stamps release their

new March digis this week so head on over there

and take a peek....they're soooo super adorable!!

Here is a card that I created with an older SOG digi

"Baker Kaylee" for last week's handmade challenge...

Secondly, I wanted to share with you my sneaks

for My Creative Scrapbook using the March Main Kit

and the March Album Kit.....trust me, you are soooo

going to LOVE these March kits, go take a look HERE!

Here are a couple of peeks from the MCS Main Kit...

...and a few from the MCS Album Kit...

See?!! I told you that you were going to LOVE these kits!!

And, because I haven't shared any personal pics in a

while, I have a couple super cute ones of Carter & Emmy!

Carter is 2 1/2 now and he is going through a stage where

he will smile for the camera when I ask but unfortunately

every time he smiles he also closes his eye...hehe, so funny

but really annoying when you're an obsessed scrapper that

NEEDS photos to scrap!! I have to resort to tickling and

funny faces to get smiles out of him for pics...aaaahhhh,

a mom's work is never done! :) Anyway, here they are...

They were taken indoors with my cell so not the

best quality but hey, I have open eyes and smiles

so they're AWESOME when you have a 2 yr. old!! :)

Alrighty, I think that's all for today!

LOVES :) -Sarah
