Did some shopping!

Well, the Sweet Shoppe was having a sale earlier this week and I broke down and purchased a few kits. Here’s what I bought:

Lauren Grier & Sir Scrapalot DesignsLliella DesignsJulie Billingsley  Christy Lylefolder

I bought an older Lauren Grier kit that I’ve had in my faves for a while, I even have several layouts in the gallery in my faves that use this kit. I bought a new release by Lliella Designs that I just had to buy, and I’ve already used it several times too! Then I added a Christmas kit by Julie Billingsley to use with this year’s layouts and cards. And a notebook for journaling with some doodles, this has been in my Kaboodle wish list for a loooong time. And last but not least, I picked out a new Darcy Baldwin font, this one is so cute… I’ve already used it too… lol.

Tomorrow I’ll show you what I’ve done using these kits so far :-D

Misc Scrapping News

Hey everyone! How was your Halloween/Digital Scrapbooking Day weekend?

Our Halloween was fun, except for the part where my DD got home from trick or treating barely able to talk and coughing… then woke up in the middle of the night with a fever! So yesterday was spent taking care of her, poor thing. Then I went to my first day of work in 4.5 yrs! I will be working part-time/occasionally at a local flower shop, so I may not be crafting/blogging as much as usual, but some weeks I won’t be working at all and can get caught up (I hope… lol).

Then DSD was great! I did a little shopping online first thing in the morning, then last night I joined in on a couple of games/contests at DigiShopTalk and the Sweet Shoppe. I even won a couple things! I won 1 product of choice from Kim Hill, and a 5$ GC from TracyAnn of TADA! It was a great day! Wanna see all the goodies I got?

First I bought these at the Sweet Shoppe:

I chose this as my prize from Kim Hill/CG Essentials:

Then I bought these beauties with my GC from TracyAnn (plus spent a little as the 5$ didn’t quite cover all 3, but it was still a steal as the store’s still marked down by 40%!):

Oooh I also downloaded a few new CT goodies from Kristin! She just put out 2 new collab kits and an entire 12 month set of collab minis! I started by downloading:

And I just wanted to talk about one more thing that I stumbled upon today…
