February Blog Train: Hey, Mr. Groundhog!

ChooChoo! It's blog train time again! This months color palette is a soft, beginning-of-spring toned one with lots of great neutrals that can be used for almost anything! They are lots of great pieces to gather so make sure you ride the train all the way around! (Don't forget the designers live all over the world, so check back if someone's post isn't up yet.)

My contribution this month is a lowercase alpha. It's made of slightly crumpled paper and stitched on one side. It's also a nice neutral tan so I hope you can find a use for it on a variety of scrapbook pages!

And here are the links to the rest of the train.
Don't forget to leave your love along the way!

Round 3: Summer Love Kit

For this week's challenge we were given a picture to use as our inspiration for our mini kit. I LOVED the colors in this photo and decided to base my color palette around those. To me, the bold colors said "summertime", but even more it made me think of all those secret summer crushes I had as a child. Growing up I was certain that almost every family vacation we went on I was going to fall in love with some mysterious stranger. I suppose I watched too many girly movies. :) So this kit is for all those young lovers out there...

Summer Love
The perfect kit to scrap your summer adventures or sweet romances. This kit is so adaptable and can be the perfect non-traditional Valentine's kit or great for scrapping a day at the park.

Round 2: Girls Night Out

Week 2 of the Designer Darling Competition is winding down over at Stuff to Scrap. For this weeks challenge we had to create a mini kit using this color palette:

Whew! Talk about a bright one! And if that wasn't challenging enough we were also unable to use any CU items. Exceptions were made for fonts, brushes, and custom shapes, but that was IT! It took me a while, but I finally came up with a workable theme and entered it for submission earlier this evening. So without further ado allow me to introduce...

Girls Night Out

A perfect little mini to scrap all those "girls only" moments. It's also great for scrapping pictures of those little ladies who just love to dress up and play grown-up. And best of all, it's absolutely FREE! So go on check it out!

Like last week's mini you will have to go to the Stuff to Scrap forum to get the download links for the kit. Registration is required, but it's free AND you get access to all 20+ mini kits from the other Designer-hopefuls as well. Watch for me "Carissa" about half way down. :)

**Link EXPIRED**

(NOTE: This is a direct link to all of the competition designers kits for Round 2. You will be prompted to sign in/register before gaining access.)

Oh, and I wanted to mention all of my kits, as well as the other designers' competition kits, will remain FREE for the duration of the competition. So head on over to Stuff to Scrap to get downloading!

AND don't forget to check back over the next week days. I'll have a kit Add-On and maybe another goodie for download. :)

Stuff to Scrap has changed the way they do their color challenges over in the STS forum. Now instead of just incorporating suggested colors in a layout, you are given a color palette and can create anything. A mini kit, layout, quickpage, you name it! I just had to try creating another mini kit and LOVED the colors that were chosen this month!

Here is the mini I created:
