Tides of Spring is the new mega kit for March available at Scrappin Freestyle. I gotta say, this kit is impressive, the colors are really wonderful and different from what’s out there right now and so many fabulous elements and papers. The really unique photo frames were my favorite things. I made 4 layouts with it today alone! I could not stop! And it’s on sale this week!

Wanna see something really cool…Theresa has a new kit which is now available in the GDS store…it’s so much fun! The best part, you can get it free, yes free, IF, you participate in the Queen of the Crop Challenges tomorrow (Friday Feb 29)!!! The QOTC is a full day event, a series of challenges with a time limit, 2 hours each, and at the end, the Queens are chosen, or Queen…not sure really if there is one queen, or a joint reign really. I am hoping to do as many as I can tomorrow, but I shall be shuttling big boy to and from school and am babysitting a 7 month old!!! But I really want to do this! Ok, obviously I have the kit already, so my motivation is I want to be the QUEEN! Although I believe there will be another kit given away for free in the challenge as well, which would be nice to get, still…I WANT TO BE THE QUEEN!!! 

So here is a peak at the kit, 2 pages I did with it… 

Both using Theresa Borntreger’s new Something Artsy Kit

Note: the cake Layout was a scraplift of Nicole D at DSS for the February Scraplift Challenge

Latest layout, a few pictures from last week’s trip home to Montreal. We went to visit my parents, the boys and I, and Nonno took us to the Biodome, an indoor zoo of sorts. It’s 4 different simulated eco-systems, including the rainforest where the camera would not stop fogging up so pictures did not turn out to well, and the Arctic, they have Penguins and Puffins, too cute!!!

Kit is Zoo Bound by Theresa Borntreger.

Is that a bad thing? Well not necesarily. There is a great article here on Scrapper’s Talk Radio about Scaplifting explaining what it is.

Do I scraplift, well of course, it’s hard not to be inspired by layouts you see along your daily travels. I get inspiration for layout from scapbooking magazines I get. I don’t copy, I pin point to thing I like the most and use that in my own creation. One of my favorite layouts to date, was a scraplift…you can see it here and you will notice, I credited where my inspiration came from.

The main thing is, scraplifting is not a bad thing as long as you credit where you got your inspiration from. That’s all, it just takes a simple comment in your credits, which you should be giving anyways to the designer of the kit. Credit the person you scraplifted and if possible link to the layout.
