Have a fun weekend shopping.

11 and a half years ago, a handsome man got on bended knee in Olive Garden and asked me to be his wife! I didn’t hesitate…it was an immediate yes!

The way he proposed though still can give me the shakes. As we were sitting there, little porcelain boxes started being brought by the wait staff. In each box was a gold plated key. First was a key to his mailbox and then the key to his car. Next came the key to his apartment and finally an old antique key…which he stated was the key to his heart!

As I was looking at those boxes in our bedroom the other day, this kit just came to me! It is a beautiful shabby kit that is so much fun to play with. My ct have made some amazing layouts.

So tell me who  holds the key to your heart. Do you have a little newborn that has you wrapped around her finger? A husband of  1 day or of 60 years? You have until Friday at noon to let me know.

Well I know…but can you figure it out? Give me a guess as to where you think I might be guesting and You can win my exclusive kit that is being released.

So have at it

My family and I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!! Thanks for believing their mommy as much as they do! Lots of great new things starting this new year. Thanks for your support during this last year and helping make my dreams come true!

True Story…I know it is 2011. But my hubby designs a magazine and we are already working on 2012. So when making our Christmas cards it was only natural to write the year I was working on in real life…oops So i guess this year we are just ahead of the game…LOL

Merry Christmas!!!

Love Aly

About a month ago my daughter and I went on a date. We ended up at a cupcake truck in Ft Worth, TX. The cupcakes were superb and the two ladies were awesome. I loved the retro look that the Red Jett Sweets truck had and after taking pictures of the two of us there was totally inspired to make this kit. It will be releasing this Friday and I am excited to share this little sneak peak with you!

Would you like to win it? Just leave a comment about what your favorite sweet item is (I have a thing for red licorice) A winner will be announced in Fridays post!

Tommorrow I will be releasing my new kit thank{FALL}. Makes me reflect on things I am thankful for like being able to stay at home with my kids and homeschool them, the weather today, and that we are getting our new bedroom and dining room set delivered today!

Want a chance to win my new kit? Its easy peasy! Leave a comment here of something you are thankful for. Here is a sneak peak and a lovely layout made by Studio Artist Erin!

Isn’t it fantastic! I can tell you I am thankful for my CT! They are so wonderful and my friends too!

Have a great and thankful day!

You know when I first started designing, I shared with my husband my dream to sell in a store. He encouraged me to take the leap and comforted me when I got my first rejection letter. I was so distraught (I know it was only one try LOL) but he encouraged me to find another call to apply for. This is how I discovered DigiridooScraps!

I have been so blessed to be able to work with such a fantastic group of people…many I now call friends. My kids have met people in different states and countries via Skype now. We go beyond designing and creating to supporting and caring. If you want to find a community that cares about you and marvels at your creations look no further .

So Yay! I am going to be an Auntie again! This time my younger sister is having her first baby. I told her I would make her a scrapbook of her pregnancy if she sent me pictures, so….I have created Baby Bump!

Here is a sneak peak at the bundle! You will be able to buy them as 5 individual packs as well.

So everything is very slowly coming together. My logo has been redesigned and the blog is still coming together. Until then, Here is a paper pack I made that I will be using on my blog. I figured why keep them to myself so instead I am putting them in the store. They will be followed up with an element pack somewhere in the future…once I am more settled . They are only $1.99 through Monday!

I should have another Design factor freebie coming out this weekend so watch this space

Have you been wondering where I have been? Well for the last few weeks I was frantically packing up my home in PA and last Sunday we started our cross country adventure with 3 kids and cat in tow. On Weds we arrived in Texas and signed the papers for our new home. Layouts and pictures will follow I am sure in the months to come : ). Anyway…so for the last week I have been unpacking and settling. Still have more to do but it is coming along.

I have a couple kits already in the works that i had started so you will start seeing stuff a little more regularly soon. However, before this move I had signed up to be a part of the Designer Factor over at DigiScrapConnect! Each week Designers are being given challenges to make something for you all. This isn’t an elimination contest so I figured why not try it out. The first challenge was hosted by ScrappityDoDah and we had to make a summer themed kit using no CU products. You can grab it HERE for the next week for free! Hope you enjoy it. Have a wonderful weekend!

So have you ever laughed so hard you could barely get it together? Does your child’s giggle make you smile? I held my first ever sleepover the other night and my girlies and their friends (ages 3-7) just laughed the night away…nonstop. So being the scrapping mom I am I bought them all matching jammies so that they could have nice pictures! While trying to get the giggling girls to bed I worked on a kit to match the jammies. Super Giggles was born that night amidst their laughter!

Here is a sneak peak and one of my layouts from the night of the party. Look for it in the store on Friday. It will be 35% off! Have a great week!
