WM2 Birthday Blog Train

If you haven't heard, yesterday was Wendy's birthday and we've been celebrating all week long! There's still time to play along with some of the games, so if you haven't checked them out yet head on over to the forums @ ScrapMatters and join in on the fun!

Now on to why you're really here. The Birthday Blog Train! You should have just come from Heidi's Blog. Wasn't her QP awesome?! And after you're finished here you're going to head on over to Cathy's Blog to pick up the fabulous little treat she's got ready for you.

I had fun creating this page about my hubby's birthday back in March. We big fans of Phineas and Ferb so that's what he asked for as decorations for his party. It was a lot of fun.



Anyway, I just pulled some of the elements off the page and made this awesome cluster for you to use on your pages. Just click the preview to download the freebie!



So off you go and have fun on our blog train - and if you haven't already, make sure you go grab Wendy's awesome new birthday kit!

Oh Yeah! I Have a Blog!

I know. It's been awhile. A long while. December was, well December. Plus I got put on bedrest for the rest of my pregnancy, so that added to the craziness. Then, finally, Jan. 10th I had little miss Bailey Ann! After many trips to the hospital and more blood work than even I wanted to deal with, we finally got told to get ready for the c-section. Things went pretty well. My BP jumped right after my spinal block, but then leveled out and Nick was brought in and we had a baby! Her official stats were 8lbs, 10oz and 19 1/2 in. long! My shortest baby and my heaviest LOL!

Anywho! As you can imagine getting life back on track took some time and I didn't fully get back into the swing of things, scrapping wise, until this month. But it was so wonderfully awesome because I got to be a guest on the ScrapMatters Hybrid team!! WooHoo!! I've had such an awesome month and I've totally scrapped my butt off. If you want to see some of that awesomeness, just use the link over there ---> and check out my gallery.

And it gets better. Oh yes. So much better. Cristina has asked me to stay on as a perm. member of the team! Can I get WooHoo!?! I accepted, of course, but at the same time I had to make the decision to step down from a couple of my other commitments. I've seriously worked my butt off this month with everything and I've felt like I haven't given my all. So at the end of the month I will officially no longer be creating for Plum Dumpling Designs and I will no longer be a ScrapMatters Girl. I'm going to miss both groups SO much, but I really felt it was time to move on. I'm definitely still creating for WM[squared] Designs and Band Geek Designs.

Speaking of Liz (Band Geek Designs) she just competed and won Design Star at ScrapMatters. What does that mean? She's an apprentice there and selling there now! I'm so happy for her and so excited about the future for her. Congrats Liz!!

I'm so glad to be back fully and really looking forward to the new ventures I'm making in my scrapbooking. And before I leave I have a little SM news. Starting tomorrow ScrapMatters is breaking out the spring cleaning supplies and having a huge sale!



All the designers are going to be having fabulous sales and you definitely don't want to miss out on them. Here's a look at what Wendy is going to be having available!



So don't forget to check out the shop this week and be a part of these awesome deals!

Stay scrappy,

New Release for WM [squared] Designs

It's Friday and Wendy has a fabulous template set out today! I absolutely love these templates and will definitely be using them again and again! I've already used all four in the set!





Don't they look great? Heidi is a fabulous scrapper, so naturally templates coming from her pages are going to be so much fun to work with! I decided since I'm part of the hybrid team for Wendy to not only create a layout [or two] but to also convert a couple to card size and make some cards. I was worried it was going to be harder than it was, but it was actually super easy and [I think] the cards turned out fabulous!

So here's my bit of inspiration for you. 2 layouts and 2 cards - though one isn't printed yet since I can't really finish it until the baby comes!











Click any of the images to see the full credits of the products used - they all come from Wendy, so you won't want to miss out on them!

Sneak Peek for WM[squared] Designs

The fun isn't over yet! I've got one more fabulous peek for you from Wendy. Even while hanging out with her cute little nephew in AZ she's got new stuff coming out! Tomorrow's new release is one of my favorites from Wendy. I had so much fun with it, I've got 2 layouts and 2 projects to share! Hey, I've been sick so I've had a lot of time to scrap!

Here's your peek and don't forget to come back on Friday to see the full reveal and my bits of inspiration for you!

I'm SO excited!

I've got some fabulous news! Wendy of WM[squared] Designs had a CT call at the first of the month and of course I applied. Anyone that knows me, knows she is my absolute favorite designer. Well we got responses back this week and I got picked as a hybrid artist! I'm so excited! I've been a guest for Wendy before, but to be a full member of her team totally rocks!





So be on the look out for her fabulous products here on my blog for at least the next 6 months - and hopefully longer!
