NEW! Comments Off

Eek! So it looks like the blog’s been on hiatus, huh?

hopefully we can think of a thing or 2 of interested to get this thing rolling again!

I had a major computer meltdown over the Summer and spent a few months computerless, hence no new goodies. I’m now back in action and trying to squeeze in more design time. Some how I’ve managed to commit myself to far too many things….. so I’m being pulled in 10 directions at once. NO FUN!

Here’s a new alpha to tide you over til more new goodies launch later this month…

Halloween spirit has struck full-force in our house, and we have been doing lots of crafting to celebrate :) I thought today would be a great day to share some fun projects I have found around the web… maybe one of them will inspire you to do some crafting of your own!

Glittery Pumpkins

Love the look of these, and they seem fairly simple, too! Wahoo! Read more at the Little Birdies Secrets Blog.

 

Footprint Ghosts

A perfect memento to capture the spirit and the size of your little one’s feet! Read more at the The Crafty Crow Blog.

 

Halloween Banners

These darling banners are available for purchase here but I thought all you crafty gals could totally create your own using digital papers! Here are a few of Lauren’s that would definitely get you started in the right direction!

Spookable

 

Hope you found a few ideas here that help get you in the Halloween crafting spirit! Boo to you!

Hi everyone.

Lauren and the girls on her Creative Team are always on the lookout for someone in the digiscrapping world who is going through a tough time and is in need of a little sunshine to brighten their day.

Today we want to send some love to a gorgeous scrapper who is going through a hard time in her life, Danielle (aka Artemia). We decided to lift some of the LO in her gorgeous gallery.

Here is what the team came up with :

I decided to lift her LO called 5 reasons I love about you… :

Karen lifted Happiness :

Nicole lifted Little Angel :

Barb lifted Grow Together :

And Jen lifted Shine :

Danielle, we send a lot of love your way. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Take care.
With Love,
Alice, Lauren & the whole LRD team.

This month my son’s daycare is “visiting” Japan. They are doing Japanese crafts, reading Japanese books and enjoying Japanese art. My children are part Japanese, my last name is Ishida and I met my husband while we were living in Japan so this is a topic I know a little something about.

I have always found Japanese art to be very inspiring so I thought I’d carry the theme to this blog post and bring a little Japanese inspiration from around the web to your Monday morning. Enjoy!

Hope your find some Zen in your Monday.

Hello all!

Today I wanted to tell you about one of my latest “Oooh Cool” finds. Not only is it practical (well, sort of LOL), it’s also full of possibilities for inspiration and eye candy. I’m talking about Domino magazine’s My Deco File.

My Deco File

Without subscribing to the magazine or paying for anything, you get to create a nifty gallery of images that you find around cyberspace. You can upload your own pictures or the My Deco File Bookmark grabber lets you capture images as you browse the web. While the original intent is to organize home design inspirations, you can grab a layout from a gallery to lift, or a color swatch, just as easily as an image from a blog feed or website. You can then organize them into “books” if you so choose, in any type of category. Or don’t, you have a lot of control. One of my favorite features is that I can keep books private or make them public. After  you add an image, it takes you right back where you started. It’s a never ending supply of all things fun to look at.

Check it out here…..My Deco File

Have fun!

It’s always fun to spotlight one of our own! One of own who has amazing talent and a HUGE heart. One of our own who has been one of the team since almost the very beginning!

That ONE is the amazing KEELY!!!

Keely has been a part of Lauren’s team several years and is a huge part of the close knit family we have become! We all love and adore Keely for her huge heart and the support and inspiration she has given us all.. We all decided to choose one of our favorite Keely layouts from her gallery..

Karen chose Keely’s “Dreams” layout

The first thing that comes to mind about Keely is how positive she is. She’s always a cheerleader on our team, but I often see praise that she’s left around the community for others, too. I also love the sweet perspective she brings to her layouts. She does a fabulous job of scrapping her emotions, which is just what scrapping should be about! …..From Karen

Renee and Lauren both chose Keely’s”40 years and counting” layout

I’ve known Keely for about 2.5 years now. I guess that’s as long as I’ve been scrapping! We’ve been on various teams together and she has always been a great friend and scrapper. If you need someone to talk to or just a shoulder to cry on, Keely is always there. I feel so lucky and blessed to have made of friend out of her and I hope someday I will be able to meet her face to face so that I can tell her that. Here is one of my favorite Keely LO’s. I just love the way she uses her elements  and all the suttle touches and those pics of her super cute DH are so fun. MWAH!!!! …. from Renee

Although Keely would NEVER admit it, she’s one of the MOST creative scrappers around! I don’t know what i love more… her honest scrapping of everyday life or her attention to every tiny detail… or wait, maybe her ability to rock an extraction! Keely, bottom line, you RAWK sistah, thank you for always inspiring us! *MWAH* xoxoox ….from Lauren

Jen chose Keely’s “Shared” layout

As a scrapper, I look to her for inspiration, She puts such a unique spin on elements - she’s taught me to have more fun and to break out of my comfort zone! And I admire how much her scrapping expresses so much of the personal story behind the photos. Her heart is in every layout, 100%. …from Jen

Nicole chose Keely’s “Tomgirl” layout

I think this page sums up Keely’s fabulous scrapping style - fun. I love Keely’s style and I am grateful for the fact that I have “met” her through this CT. She is such a wonderful, caring person. …from Nicole

Kellie chose Keely’s “Flopsy Mopsy” layout

I am so honored to get to create alongside Keely! Her layouts constantly inspire me. I love her bright use of colors! But, more than anything, her layouts inspire me to be a better mother. I want Millie to grow up in a home knowing she is as loved and cherished as Keely loves her girls! …from Kellie

Stephanie chose Keely’s “No Supermom” layout

This layout shows just how loving and inspirational Keely is to everyone on our team. I always love her journaling and it is not only inspiring but heart warming to see how great of a mother she is to her two lovely daughters! I have been on the team with Keely from the way beginning and it has been a great pleasure to get to know her throughout the years! We love ya Keely! …from Stephanie

Thanks again Keely for all your kind words, your warm heart, and your overflowing inspiration!

First, to all my Houstonian friends.. please know my thoughts and prayers are with you as you recover from Hurricane Ike. Thankfully, my area of Houston wasn’t hit too badly, but I know there is so much devistation around the city…. Sending hope and strength your way… xoxooxoxo

today is the start of the big LDD sale, so be sure to head on over for some serious discounts!

i wanted to have lots of new goodies ready for the sale, but sadly, my computer melted down (quite literally), so i’ve been unable to design for a few weeks now. :(

luckily, i was able to finish this set of frames up before the meltdown….

they are available NOW in the LDD shoppe, HERE!

Enjoy and have a great week!
