Bursting at the Seams!

More change and added opportunities have come my way in just a short amount of time! I have added to my busy schedule yet another team, but this one has seriously been my ultimate dream job since I've become familiar with the designers out there. I am officially a Dani's Girl! Dani Mogstad has always inspired me with her incredible talent in not only designing but scrapping, too. If you're ever up for some eye candy, check this out! Being on her team is a highly coveted position, which is evidenced by the amount of responses she got when she had an open call several weeks ago. Out of 125 applicants, I was one of the lucky ones chosen for the team! I still cannot believe it.

These are the latest LO's with her fun kits:

Obviously this is a 4th of July kit, but I didn't have any 4th of July pictures at the time, so I decided to scrap the first time Noah crawled and titled it "Victory!"
Noah's 1st birthday festivities.
One of Kira's favorite things to do during the day is to go to the mall and play on the play yard there. She especially loves to pretend to drive the cars...
This one just blows me away... I cannot for the life of me believe it has been 2 years already since we took this picture. It has been 2 years since I have seen most of my UCLA friends :(

Other big news... I am now a full-timer on Christina Renee's CT. It has been so fun to be a guest there and is a dream to now be a permanent member of such an elite team! This girl is the queen of grunge and working with her has allowed me to try out other scrapping styles. Here are the pages I've done with her goods...

This is titled "Strike a Pose"... I think I posted this picture on the family blog a while ago.
This was Father's Day 2006... we spent most of the day with Noah in the NICU (hence Mike's hospital gown)
This one is "U R Mine," and was meant to be normal pictures of Noah's birth, free from feeding tubes and central lines... sometime soon I will scrap his time in the NICU, but I wanted this one to be happy :)
For those of you who didn't click on the previous blog entry link, this is my "Little Miss Sunshine" LO that landed me in the spotlight on disc talk radio. What an honor!



Others I have completed..


For Lauren Reid:
This is another set of pictures already posted on the family blog. Kitty Watch documents Kira's obsession with our neighbor's cat last summer. She looks so young in these pics :)
A few weeks after Noah returned from the hospital...
LO's for Joana Carvalho:


I can't say enough about Joana's kits... they are definitely the easiest things to work with for me... for some reason my LO's come together lightening fast when I use them, which is a nice change since it usually takes me forever to complete something. This one is titled "Enamored."
This LO is definitely one of my favorites. I love the picture and the cool elements Joana has in this kit. I took this picture of Kira watching her beloved Curious George movie. No one can get her attention for more than a few seconds when she is watching! LOL! It is titled "Concentration."

My final news is that Two Sisters Designs from Scrapartist.com have asked me to be their guest for the month! I couldn't be more thrilled, as I use their cool "beauty marks" on a lot of my pages. They are actually having a sale right now, so check out their stuff if you are interested!

This is my first LO as their "official" guest... the beauty mark is in the b/g! Again these are pics of an old post about Kira's sweaty head curing nap time and funky hair as a result!
All my credits can be found here.
Sorry for the long post... I'm hoping to be more up to date with this in the future! My last bit of news is that I am a guest this month for Amanda Rockwell and Zoe Pearn (I extended with her)... so you'll be seeing some upcoming LO's with their fun designs! This next week will be kind of crazy, as Christina Renee has just opened up her new store and will be celebrating her Grand Opening. There are challenges taking place all week at DST and I will be hosting the template challenge on Saturday! July has already started with a big bang, but I feel really lucky to be working with some very talented designers. Until next time....

Where do you find the time to be on all these CT's? I'm impressed. And these pages are fabulous. No wonder they are asking you left and right. Congrats.

I am enjoying living vicariously through you Kris. But all the pictures make me want to see your kids--if you move to Atlanta we will have to go on a trip.
Also, Cole is obsessed with Curious George also. Glad to know Kira is cool like that.
