Okay, so admittedly I don't print my digital scrapbooking pages as often as I should. BUT I had some pages printed during one of Persnickety Prints' sales a couple of months ago and have been meaning to blog about how happy I am with the results!

I had heard of Persnickety throughout digiland, and even cooler...they were one of the awesome sponsors of Digiscrap*apalooza 2011! So not only do we know that they're cool because they hang with the Orchard Girls, but their prints really are amazing :)

Take a gander! Here's a page I made using my kit, 8 Bit World. I love how the colors pop and the texture is all still there...makes you want to reach out and feel the page!



This layout made using my kit Inked Up is one of my favorites because it is totally 'my boys'. They had just gotten some Paper Jamz and we added temporary tattoos to complete their rockstar looks ;) I was really happy again with the coloring, very true to the kit and my shadowing turned out looking really great.

Next up is a page I made using my collab with Captivated Visions called Back Off. Lots of stuff going on in this page but it all came out looking really sharp! Even with the dark colors, I didn't lose any detail.

Lastly, here's a double shot of some pages made using Just Whip It and Hugging & Loving. Two totally different schemes, but both alive with color and POPping!

Here's a close up of some detail and shadow work on the Hugging and Loving page.

I ordered about 25 prints, but just picked my favorites to share with you today. You can find the cool peeps of Persnickety HERE. They've usually got some cool tutorials and freebies posted so check back often!

Come awn down to Scrap Orchard and hang with us tonight!

Skip on over to the Scrap Orchard forum by Thursday to see how you can win this grungry digital scrapbook collaboration kit!

Quick! This is HA-UGE!

Man! I've been so busy designing and running around with holiday stuff that I haven't blogged in a week. For shame! ;) So. Not only is my Scrap Orchard guest stay well under way but I've got some new stuff in store this week, as well as a new collab over at The Digichick.

This week, I have a collab with the fabulous Jennifer Fox at The Digichick

Crabby Kid
Our kids all have their moments of hysterics and drama. It's so important to document those moments, maybe even more than the happy ones! Even if only to look back at and laugh about!

Buddy, it's cold outside...which is just right if you're building a special snow friend!

Now, last week I released a collab kit with Lyndsay Riches at Scrap Orchard. I advertised it on Twitter and Facebook but somehow neglected to post it here on the blog. It rocks! :)

Santa Rocks
A rockin' Christas collab featuring a cool Santa Claus and his holiday band!


We even made an add on of stacked papers to match! :)

I also had a solo kit release, less rockin', more light and girly lol

For the girly girl in your life who's all sugar, this kit will fit her.. to a t!

There's your weekly round up, haha! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Why, hello there! I'm really excited (aren't I always excited??) about my releases today! If you know me personally, you've surely picked up on the fact that I'm a little offbeat. I love music, rock and metal in particular...and it seems that my little dudes seem to have some of the same tastes. Why am I yapping about music, you ask? Check out my grab bag below....
