** UPDATED POST** Sorry to anyone who got the wrong download here at my blog. I know I triple checked to make sure that the link worked before posting, but apparently it was the wrong one. I've downloaded twice now and it's good to go. Again, very sorry for the wrong link.

Hey everyone!! Welcome to your next stop on the ScrapMatters [inter]National Scrapbooking Day blog train. This train will be making stops all over the place! You have probably just come from Jenna's blog and you are currently on stop #36 and are in Indiana!

Our NSD mega-collab at SM this weekend is called "Moments that Matter" and the whole theme of our celebration is all about those moments in our lives that really matter. At each stop you'll find a story about a Moment that Matters along with a freebie!! There are TONS of stops on this blog train, so you can pick up a LOT of goodies!!

I've been thinking really hard about a moment that has mattered the most to me and I honestly believe that becoming a mom for the first time was the most important moment of my life. I never realized how life changing it actually was until I heard that first scream. I can't imagine another moment coming along that will change who I am as a person so drastically.

Here's a picture of me meeting my little man three years ago! It's amazing to watch him grow each day.

Ready for your freebie?? I've made a 12x12 quickpage for you to personalize.

Link will be active until midnight Thursday night 5/6. Then all these blog train goodies are getting gathered up and put into the store!

Enjoy!!! And now you're off to the next stop on the blog train . . .

Happy iNSD everyone!!

Hope everyone's weekend is getting off to a great start and you're able to find some AMAZING deals on your scrap supplies! I've been a busy little bee this month and have one last thing for April. Can you believe it's the last day of April?? Where has this year gone?!?

I'm not going to be able to enjoy myself during all of the iNSD festivities because we're having my son's third birthday party on Saturday. It was supposed to be last Saturday and I ended up getting sick so I had to reschedule. I wish I would have scheduled it for this Sunday instead. I totally spaced about it being International Scrapbooking Day tomorrow! There will be TONS of fun stuff going on at ScrapMatters this weekend that you don't want to miss! Me on the other hand, will be busy cleaning and then entertaining a bunch of toddlers. I would much rather be scrapping. Andrew has requested a "George" party so there may just be a primary color kit coming up in the near future so keep an eye out!

Anyways, you aren't reading this to find out about my weekend, you came here to see what I have in the shop! This Grab Bag has 4 brand new coordinating products in it for the low low price of $3.50. It's only available until May 5th so if you want to get it, you better do it soon.


Here's what is inside:








Here are a few layouts that the CT have made using items in the grab bag:

2 layouts by Katie:(also uses other items not available in the bag)




Make sure you stop by my blog tomorrow to score a limited time freebie and take part in a massive blog train. It's going to be HUGE and you don't want to miss it!

Two New Collabs this Week! (and a coupon)

I have been busy this week and I'm hoping you all like what I've done. I have not one, but two collabs out this week. Both of which rank pretty high on my list of favorites!

This first kit was made with WM[squared] and I'm loving how well our styles meshed. We created it with Earth Day in mind, but this kit is versatile enough to use for all of your everyday layouts.



And just look what my personal CT and the ScrapMatters CT did with it:









This is my second collab that I made with Trixie Scraps. Now is this gorgeous or what? If that's not enough, you can use this coupon code to pick it up for 25% off good through April 18th: tsd25offsa


Here are some more inspiring layouts from both CT's:

Happy Birthday to me and a sale for you!

I'm a little early here, but technically it's my birthday and I wanted to share some of the fun with you! If you use the code bday_28_off now through Sunday, April 18th, you'll get 28% off your orders! This offer excludes collabs.



Why are you still here? Go shopping! lol.

I'm going to get to bed and maybe when I wake up I'll feel a little older. Too bad getting older is no longer as exciting as it was when we were kids.

You also need to stop by my CT's blog and pick up a little birthday gift they're giving away. Make sure you leave them some love so they'll keep giving away goodies!

You also HAVE to stop back by this Friday. I have something new coming out that you DON'T want to miss. Trust me, it's not just awesome. it's awesome times awesome. It's awesome squared. (that's for you Becca)

Who's ready for a speed scrap?

Natasha will be hosting a speed scrap today at 1 pm EST at ScrapMatters and I've contributed the participation prize. You can find out more information about it HERE





I'll try to make it if I can get both kiddos napping at the same time. Hope to see you there!

Happy Easter everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm stealing a few minutes away from my family to wish you all a Happy Easter! I also wanted to share a little freebie with you all. Hope you enjoy!
