Scrappin' Saturday

Phew, what a fun couple days of scrapping while it's been too cold outside to go out. Traci has two new kits this week and they're AWESOME... she's really been on a roll lately! And guess what, Sweet Shoppe Designs is celebrating their 4 year birthday and everything in the store is 34% off this week! (except for the quarterly assortments and custom fonts) OK now to the pages I've worked on this week! First is Traci's new collab with ScrapKitchen Designs, it's called Kitschy Sweet and I just LOVE the little tag that I included in the page. The colors are gorgeous and the papers stunning! I also used one of Traci's Bottom Ups templates from last week's new releases.
Next Traci came out with a really cute boy kit! I love the name of the kit, Exuberance Irrepressible, and there is some very true word art in there, although, I didn't use it for this page but I'm sure I'll use it on another page one day. I also used Traci's Take Out Tuesday template for the paper and photo blocks in this page... this template is so fun and free so check it out!
Well, this week ends my time as a guest on Traci's creative team. I had so much fun creating pages with her new kits and was so inspired by the talent of her team. I enjoyed being a part of the team's big freebie giveaway earlier this week by making a cluster frame with one of my favorite Traci kits. I loved experiencing what a creative team does and hope someday to be a part of the team again. WOW, January really flew by too fast!

Now for the Design Your Life pages for this week... this week's lesson was on white space and I had an eye opening moment when Cathy talked about trapped space. I'd been really struggling with a page I've been working on and because of this lesson it now looks awesome and I can't wait for you to see the page. Anyways, here are my pages for this week's assignments.
I used all Sweet Shoppe Designs kits that were in my unused kits folder and I'm so excited to be getting through that folder.

The first one using Wild and Craz-He and Bad Sewing Machine What A Bracket both by Traci Reed
The second one using Sweet On You by Penny Springmann which is part of the 2009 Quarterly Assortment vol. 4. I also used the fun Bad Sewing Machine LooptyLoo for the edge of this page which has templates to go with the shape of the stitching... this is one of my most faves of the bad sewing machine sets.
and the last one is using Circle Circle Dot Dot by Shawna Clingerman also part of the 2009 Quarterly Assortment vol 4.
