Hello My Name Is Sass

Hi everyone! Suzanne here sharing my layout inspired from Debbie's sketch and using the January Scrapbook Kit.   I flipped flopped the photo placement since my baby girl was leaning to the left. At just 3 weeks old she already had a lot of sass ;) I love that "Hello My Name Is" diecut included in the Fancy Pants Be Loved Ephemera Pack.  I hope you enjoy all the girly, pink goodness in this month's kit as much as I do!

Sweet As Sugar

Hi everyone, Aimee here with you today.

Debbie's sketch this month is a perfect match to the January Scrapbook kit! I feel it gives the freedom to use a lot of the kit contents but still keeps the focus on the photo. Since the theme this month is Valentine's Day and hearts, I chose to sew a heart into my background instead of a circle.

Welcome Designer Aimee Kidd!

Today’s inspiration was created by our Delightful Designer Aimee, using our November scrapbook kit and layout sketch.

I’m Aimee Kidd and I am thrilled to be designing for Artful Delight for the next 6 months! A little bit about me.... I have been happily married for 13 years to my sweetheart Chad and we have 3 of the greatest kids - Chris, Joshua, and Gracie. I am blessed to be a stay at home mom and love every minute of it plus it gives me lots of time for scrapbooking. I love scrapbooking because it is a stress reliever and a joy for me. Crafting makes me happy! I consider my style to be clean lines with lots of layering and adding in some fussy cutting, distressing, and sewing. I have been scrapbooking since 1995 but my love of paper crafts started when I was little. I always had a stash of construction paper, stickers (lots of stickers!), scissors, and glue lying around. I still have my sticker albums which I treasure to this day!  When I’m not scrapbooking, I love cooking, photography, and volunteering at my kid’s school.

Introducing Design Team Member Suzanne Spokus!

Today’s inspiration was created by our Delightful Designer Suzanne, using our November scrapbook kit and layout sketch. We are thrilled to have Suzanne designing with our scrapbook kit.  Suzanne will also be designing our card sketches!

Hi everyone! Suzanne here! I am so excited to be welcomed to the Artful Delight Design Team. I am a huge fan of the product, inspiration, and friendships here! So happy to be a part of it this term.

A little about me.. I'm a wife to my loving, amazingly supportive husband Dave of 5 years.
I am the new mom to my baby girl :) Motherhood is such a blessing! We waited a long time to start our family and through open adoption our dreams came true July 2013.  And she was SOO worth the wait. You'll be seeing her grow up before your eyes on my layouts!

By day I am a first grade teacher, and when I'm not making memories with my classroom, friends, or family - I am preserving them both in traditional layouts and a Project Life album.

 I love scrapbooking our life's memories and sharing them with others. It's so important for me to tell our story (and be creative!!). I am so excited to work with the fabulous ladies and product here at Artful Delight! You can see more of my projects (and baby pics lol) at my blog Scrap With Suzy :)

These Traditions Are Blessed

I Love Your Smile

It's rainy and gloomy and it made it really tough to get out of bed today.
I love it though.  In the desert it doesn't rain very often to I try to enjoy it when it does happen.  LOL!!

I am also trying to catch up on sleep.  It has been amazing to sleep in a bit these past 2 days.  :-)

August Guest Designer, Sandi Pressley

Happy Sunday!!
Today I would like to welcome the winner of our July sketch challenge 

and our guest designer for August, Sandi Pressley.

I am Sandi Pressley and I am so excited and honored to be August’s Guest Designer here at Artful Delight.  I am having so much fun working with the August card kit I can barely contain myself!  I live in sunny Florida just 5 miles from the beach with my wonderful and supportive husband David.  I work long hours as an inside sales associate for a roofing and building material supplier.  I am originally from the Chicago area (Go Blackhawks!) and my 2 sons and 4 grandchildren still live up there.  I miss them terribly but scrapping their pictures, and life moments helps me feel closer to them.  That is how I got started scrapping 6 years ago.  I love to create cards, traditional layouts, Project Life pages and some off the page projects.  Wreaths, banners, altered frames and gift boxes/tags are some of my favorites to create.  I love photography, junking, going to the beach and watching football and hockey.  I am a loyal fan and root for my Chicago teams.  I love the color aqua and anything nautical especially anchors.  I scrap in the early evening and the weekends.  My hubby and I like to travel....there is SO much to see and do here in Florida so between our travels and my grandchildren I am never short on pictures to scrap.

Please stop by my blog Slightly Off Center here.

Sandi chose the August Card Kit as her prize and designed these two cards:

Fun In The Sun

Oh the first day of school was so emotional for me.
Tony and I got all caught up in the chaos that was going on it the school grounds that we managed to lose track of our youngest.  There were so many people and so many kids it was crazy and Max just freaked out that he couldn't find us so he walked off to the parking lot.  Thankfully people know our kids, saw him and brought him to the office.
So in all that crazy, I didn't get to see Lil Tony off to class or Isabel off to class.  I have never been more scared in my life though not being able to find Max.  So I was uber emotional about that, then when that all calmed down I  began to feel empty not having Isabel at home anymore.  I felt this pit in my stomach and I couldn't put my finger on why.
The kids all had great days.

 Just to give you a small idea of how crazy the playground was. 

Lil Tony with the grey shirt looking at the camera.  

 This picture is Isabel in her red shirt and pink book bag looking very nervous. 

I hope it is better tomorrow.

Happy Saturday!!
 So my welcome back to work was "let's work you 6 days and 53+ hours."
I will be lucky to make it thru the day today.  LOL!
We are so short staffed at work that I am expecting to have it be this way for a few weeks.  I will welcome those pay checks but I may need another vacay to recover from all that.   Haha!
