The Spotlight is On..

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Last week, Coconut Tree was mentioned over at The Daily Digi. And it reminded me that I hadn’t had a chance to work with it yet, even though it caught my eye over and over again as I looked through Amanda’s store. So I finally grabbed it, and was so thrilled with the contents, I knew I had to show it off here!

It is full of fun stuff! It has 2 alphas (!!), fun borders, cute papers, and hand drawn elements. It was a lot of fun to play with, and I know I will be getting lots of use out of it. I know that I want to make a hybrid alphabet album for my little one with it eventually!

If you haven’t had a chance to check this kit out, I highly recommend you do so. And fast – a little coconut told me it may be retiring. Grab it now before its too late!!!

Flip Flop Challenge!

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Hi everyone, Trina here with your flip flop challenge for this month. This month we decided to do something different – Amanda challenged us all to flip one of our own layouts. You’d think that it would be easy to scraplift yourself, but really, it’s kinda hard to do! Here is what the team came up with:

By Leslie, using Coconut Tree.

By me (Trina) using Lucky.

And by Janie, using Falling For (the kit).

Your challenge – flip flop one of your own layouts. Use Amanda’s products, and post a link to your page in the comments and you could win!

A bit of reminiscing…

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Amanda’s current creative team call has me remembering when I applied. I was so shocked and thrilled and amazed to be selected, and I still am. I was overjoyed at the thought of getting to create with her designs, especially her then-newest kit, Just Beecause. This was my first layout as a member of Amanda’s creative team, using Just Beecause.

I loved the kit then, and I still adore it now, so I thought I would remind everyone how wonderful it is. Just Beecause is the perfect kit for girly pages, boy pages, layouts about love, and anything else you can think of. It’s a huge kit, and so versatile. If you don’t already have Just Beecause, head on over to Scrap Orhard and pick it up here. I promise you won’t regret it!

And if you love Amanda’s designs as much as I do, why don’t you apply for the creative team? You’d better hurry, though, because the call ends TODAY! Check out this post for all the details.
