I’m SOOOOO excited to announce this collab that just went up at The Lilypad!!!

Yep, that’s MY name right snuggled right smack dab between Kate Hadfield and Jacque Larsen!  Woohoo!!!

Click on the full kit image to go check it out in store! (By that, I mean check to make sure I didn’t make this up as some sort of weird fantasy.) I made the 2 Quick Pages and 13 pieces of word art, Jacque and Kate both made elements like only they can, they both made papers, and Kate also tossed in an alpha!

My McDudes made a ton of awesome layouts that I’ll be showing off here in the next few days, but I’m having uploading issues AGAIN so I just used the spread Kate made for now.  They are all amazing…so get ready!

So, that’s it for me…I am actually up way too late because of a nasty sore throat. I’m off to drink some more OJ and try to get some rest.  I hope you enjoyed these awesome layouts! If you get the collab and you want to share a layout, leave a comment here!

Take care and happy Friday!

I’m having one of those moments where I just stop and realize just how proud it makes me to see my word art on AMAZING layouts! I love it when I look at a layout and think how awesome it is and THEN realize that my word art is on it! That is the coolest thing ever!

My team always makes me proud, but lately, they’ve been cranking out some wonderful stuff, so I thought I’d share a few of the layouts now!

Here are a few using my Fall Word Art and some amazing fall products – click the layouts to see the full credits.

This one by Dorota is just stunning. I don’t really know how else to describe it…the layers, the photos, GAH! It’s just gorgeous!

Here’s another layout with the Fall Word Art – this one is by Selena.  She kept it simple, and it totally paid off in this layout! I love the white space, the awesome photo, and the journaling!

My Family Word Art pack is probably one of my all-time faves…and these two layouts make me love it even more! Click them for full credits!

I am just drooling over this layout by PheobeJo! I love the way she made my Family Word Art into a sticker…it just works perfectly for this layout!

Melissa rocked the Family Word Art in this layout! I LOVE that photo…and I just love the flower being used for the ”o” in love!

It is officially football season! We even made a trip to Blacksburg last weekend so my hubby and his best friend/college roomie could go see a home game together! I have many pics to scrap…and this layout by Melissa totally inspired me! She used my Football Word Art and some SUPER cute pics of her kiddo at a game! Click the layout for credits!

So, I know I’m inspired to get scrapping…how ’bout you?! I have a ton of other layouts I could show you, but

I think that my new Nikon D60 is.  Well, actually…my wonderful husband who bought it for me is my best friend.  Well, he already was…but now he is SOOOO high on the list of people cooler than me.

I am in love with this camera…I can’t believe how much better my pictures are.  I’m GOOOD….and I wasn’t getting to see how good with my point and shoot.  So, here’s to my amazing hubby and the people who made my Nikon D60. 

He just called to tell me that my Tracy Joy bag and Sugar Plum Baby camera strap came today! And……my www.minted.com design sample came too! They thought I’d want to see what my card looks like in print! I’ll have pics to show you of all of this goodness later on!

Ok, so I have a few exciting things to share…woohoo!

First, take a look at this awesome collab I worked on with my cah-razy friend, Michelle Godin! I was so excited when she asked me to help her revamp her old kit, Play, and make it crack-a-lackin’. I have no idea where that came from…I don’t think I’ve ever used the words crack-a-lackin’ in my life…so I guess this is a milestone. Ok, focus, Jodie….

Here’s the kit:

And here are some layouts by my RAWKIN’ Creative Team!!!

Phew….that was a lot of inspiration!!! C’mon…you *know* you want this kit!!! It rocks! Plus, anyone who grabs this kit, makes a layout, and links up here before Thursday, September 11, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. (CST) will get a $2.00 GC to use in my store! Yep, EVERYONE who makes a layout using ONLY Play 2.0 (and links it here in the comments) will get a GC from me! What are you waiting for???!!!

Oh yeah, the second exciting thing is….

I am getting a new laptop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok…wipe up the drool.  Yes, it *is* purple!

On a sad note, my current laptop cord is broken so I can’t charge it and the battery is quickly dying as I type…sooo until next time…ba-bye! Have a wonderful week!
