Hi everyone… well, I know I thought I would have had some new stuff for you this week, but it didn’t happen… I was so busy over the weekend and earlier this week, I just never did get them done in time for the Scrap Matters new release schedule. Sooooo…. back to regular programming and new stuff next week… for now, I decided I needed a little scrapping break, so I took one! Yeah for me 🙂

It has been AGES since I did a bloggity blog post for my gal pal, Ellie Lash… she had taken a break from designing for a bit, so I didn’t really have much new to show you. But, she is back and just as talented as ever, so I thought I’d show you her two most-recent new kits and also the layouts I did with them the past day or two. They kits are both so cute, you should definitely go scoop them up!

First is “Sweetie Pie,” a kitty-cat themed kit which is perfect for kitty photos, of course, but also for much, much more… I mean, c’mon, I scrapped photos of Tim Holtz with this kit!! 🙂 So, here is the kit (linked to her store), followed by the two layouts I did with it… make sure you check out the Sweetie Pie BUNDLE – its a steal!

And then, here is Ellie’s newest release, which is on sale this weekend only for 20% off – I’m sure lots of you still have some summer photos you haven’t scrapped yet, right?? Well, “Summer Splash” is perfect for them! When I saw the little kid characters in this kit, I knew it was PERFECT for some photos I’d been hanging onto of my niece and nephew with one of their little friends at the beach this summer. So, check out the kit and my two layouts, too:

OK, that’s it!! Gorgeous new kits from Ellie, me getting my scrappy groove on, and a weekend that promises a Yankee game with the hubster, a visit with some relatives we haven’t seen in a while, and some down-time to finish up those kits (I hope!) on Sunday. I’ll be back on Monday to show off what I have on Manic Monday sale! Until then, have a great weekend, everyone 🙂
