New Layouts & GC giveaway!

Well, I've been a busy little scrapper this weekend! I've had so much inspiration and I've done a bit of digi-shopping outside my CT kits.

So I did up this layout to go with the fall leaves one I made featuring Kyle and wanted a companion page with Joshua in it. I like to do two pagers that coordinate so they look nice in an album. (Not that I've gotten a complete album together yet! LOL!) I'm just kinda thinking ahead for when I get the layouts I've done all printed.

So here's the page I did with Joshua. I loved the carefree look on his face and the leaves floating down in the picture. I've been experimenting with using clusters of elements and really like how they've been coming out. I used so many different designers in this LO! I really dove into my "stash" and loved it!

So after doing that page.....I get an email from my NEWEST CT Designer, Carole Neale! Did I even mention that I was named to Carole's CT???? Well, I was and I SOOOO love her stuff! She's always got the neatest word art (did I mention she does the word art for my Scripture Challenge at DSS? If not, you gotta check it out!

Anyway, she emailed the first CT kit for us to do our layouts with. And the kit is fabulous!!!! It's a very fresh take on your Christmas Scrap Kit, called "A Doodly Christmas" and will be available in the DSS store soon! So for now, I'll give you a sneak peek and the layout I did yesterday, while I was in scrapping mode. LOL!

Complete credits can be found HERE

Be sure to check Carole's Inspiration Gallery for more layouts using this kit....there is so much in the kit, it's impossible to do just one page with it!

What? You wanna see the kit preview???? Well, I hope this is ok with Carole....HERE it is! I LOVE it....especially that doodled word art Christmas Tree I haven't used yet! But will soon!

So keep checking the DigiScrapShak.com store, it'll be available REAL soon!
