KB Custom Creations is hosting Mousescrappers Sept. Kit Challenge

I am so excited and honored to be hosting

Mousescrappers September 2013 Kit Challenge.

When I was deciding what theme to center the kit around, at first I had no idea.  But I couldn't think of a more appropriate theme than Wine and Dine!!! With the Free Disney Dining Plan, and the upcoming Epcot Food & Wine Festival, it just seemed perfect.

If you head over to Mousescrappers.com you've be able to download this yummy kit I created:

18 papers and 49 elements

If you take part in the challenge and post your layout to Mousescrappers

Here is the great Participation prize you'll receive:

But it doesn't stop there.......

If you visit KB Custom Creations on Facebook 

you'll be able to download this cute word art add-on

(And while it's not a requirement to like the page, I sure would appreciate it)

Just for visiting today, here is a Freebie paperstack.

You can download it HERE

Royal Carousel Release, and a Blog Hop Freebie

The color palette for this challenge, was just that....a challenge.

I had great hopes and plans,

 but it just didn't come together in my creative mind.

But I have to say, I am quite happy with what I did end up creating.

New in the store today

Royal Carousel Paper Pack

35 papers-You can purchase this kit at my store

Mousescrappers Weekly Challenge #176

Mousescrappers Weekly Challenge #176

I'm so excited to be hosting this week's challenge over at Mousescrappers.com

It's a fun challenge.  First you'll be inspired

(You'll need to let one of these images inspire you.

Color, Theme, Design, Private Joke. You name it.)

Then you'll be required

(to follow some simple rules).

Here is what I created with the inspiration and rules:

Credits

 But once your layout is completed, you'll be rewarded with a great PP

I'm sure you're seeing a theme (or two) along the way

Birthday & St. Patrick's Day

For me they are one and the same.  I wanted to celebrate with you all.  So be sure to come back here on Sunday-March, 17th 

a.k.a. St. Patrick's Day 

a.k.a my Birthday.  

When you do, you'll be able to pick up half of my full kit

Luck of the Irish

for

FREE 

Then you can head over to my Facebook page and pick up the second half.

Mousescrappers DC09 Freebie

It's been a few months, but I'm back to taking part in Mousescrapper's Design Challenge.  Things ran differently this month.  There were some wonderful kits put together with the selected color palette. But unfortunately, due to problems in past months, this month they won't be available for sale at the Mousescrapper's shop.  The only way to get these kits is to take part in the challenge.  It's open to all levels of designers, with very few requirements.  So if you like what you see, stop by Mousescrapper's and take part in next month's challenge.

But a few of the designers decided to keep the blog hop going and have created some wonderful freebies for you.  Be sure to stop by each designer's blog (and be sure to leave them some love when you pick up the freebies they've worked hard on).

Never fails to make me smile

It never fails to make me smile....I'll be looking through a gallery, checking out the new layouts and then it hits me that some element or paper is MINE!!! And this time was no exception.

I was looking through the gallery at Mousescrapper's. Charlene (cmtscrap) is hosting a Template Challenge there. The template was donated by Little Green Frog Design. One of the entries really caught my eye.

Created by Stacy (teethdr)

Super cute.  This template has become one of my all time favorites.  And Stacy just really made it pop.  Stacy used my Worth A Thousand Words mini kit (other credits linked to photo).  The colors worked great.  Still working on getting the new store up and running.  Thanks for all your patience. 

Where did January go and a CT Freebie....

It completely baffles my mind..."Where did January Go?"  The month just flew by.  I took time this month to reorganize a few things, especially in my scrapping world.  I've gotten myself back into a place where I'm really enjoying myself. 

I closed up shop over at Scrapable.  It is a great store with an amazing Boss Lady (a.k.a Bev) and some wonderful designer's and CT.  But don't fret.  I'm working on getting my new store Arts & Ains Designs Shop up and running.  Everything is there.  All my old products, just in need of new packaging.  It shouldn't be to much longer.  Thanks so much for your patience.  (If you need anything before then, let me know).  

But this month I got to find my joy in Scrapping again.  I got to take part in the Mousescrapper's Speed Scrap Marathon.  I hosted my first Speed Scrap.  It was so much fun.  It gave me the opportunity to create some layouts.

Here are the layouts that I made:

This was created for my Speed Scrap (#135)

Created for Speed Scrap #140

Created for Speed Scrap #128

I made this one for Speed Scrap #126

Speed Scrap #130

Created for Speed Scrap #127

And the last one for the Speed Scrap was this one

Speed Scrap #139

The Speed Scrap was so much fun.  So much amazing talent out there.  So many generous designers and layout artist that donated their time and talent with great prizes and super challenges.  THANK YOU!!!

But I didn't stop scrapping there.  I made this layout for the January Kit challenge.  "ILuvCrush" crush hosted the challenge.  And Keystone Scraps provided the wonderful kit.  (And add-on to her kit In the Hollow).

Jan 2013 Kit Challenge

and Then.....

Romajo release a brand new kit

De-Iced Love

I created this cute layout using her kit and the awesome template created by Michelle for this week's Template Challenge #153 at Mousescrappers.

 

AND made this Freebie pack for you

Before you go, I hope you'll take a minute to visit a new personal blog my children and I are working on.

Just follow this link

Here are the paper packs you're scrapping for

 

 It's a full weekend of speed scraps and freebies

Disney + Scrapbooking = Need I say more!!!!

Wow and thanks.......

This past week I had the pleasure of hosting the Weekly Challenge at Mousescrappers.com. It was so much fun to go and check the forum to see if someone else decided to play along.

I was pleasantly surprise when I saw this Layout created by cassidyk a.k.a Kathryn

Template: Cindy Schneider Half Pack 60
Alpha: Lacubrious alpha by Libby Weifenbach Designs
Scatter: Mickey Scatters Silver by A Grieving Mommy Designs
Mickey Heads: Glitter Mickeys by Kat Designs
Everything else: Worth a Thousand Words by Arts and Ains Designs

 She had used my newest release, Worth a Thousand Words, to create her layout.  I think most designers are like me, and just love to see what people do with our designs.  It was a double pleasure to have someone not only take part in the challange, but to use my designs as well.  Thanks Kathryn

 

If you have some time, head over to the Weekly Challenge Gallery or forum thread and check out all the great layouts everyone made.  It never ceases to amaze me, the wonderful talent that you can find there.  

Both my blog and Arts & Ains Designs on Facebook have coordinating freebies for you to grab.  Be sure you do before they're gone.
