Look what I've got...

... from my friend Chelly!

She made layouts of my kiddos using my Happy Felt Garden Kit.

Look how great they turned out:

Aren't they cute??? I just LOVED IT!!!

Amigaaaaaa... AMEI! MUITO MUITO OBRIGADA, minha baianinha retada!!!!

And here's two other layouts that she made with the kit:

Her cute little boy, Enzo:

And her adorable sisters (I just love those smiles!):

 

If you wanna see more of Chelly's work check out her gallery!

Now I'm off to start what is supposed to be a very busy day (I've been stalling so far, but... lol).

Hugs to all,

Livia.

More layouts...

Hi! I'm back to bore you with more layouts that I've made recently... lol

The  first one I'm gonna show you was made using two awesome products:

 

Carousel Horse Template by IdziBitsy Designs

This is so much fun to work with... Loved it, Michelle!!!

(tried linking it to the store but didn't manage... will try again later)

 

 

 

 

 

SO Sunny Collab kit by Sunshine Studio Scraps and Scrap Orchard Designers

 

 

 

These pictures were taken on Christmas day in the Winter Wonderland fair that was happening here in town.

This next one was made as a gift  for my friend Chelly using:

 

 

  Softly Sweet Kit by Kim

This kit is simply FANTASTIC! Love, love, looooove it!

 

 

 

I've aslo used a double page template by Yin.

Continuing on the DSO girls trail...

 

 

 

I've made this next layout using August Breeze Kit by Designs by Luisa,  and a template by Yin.

 

 

 

This is my SIL.

And last but not least... I wanna show you this layout I made using a kit from Lynn.

 

 

It's called Firefly and it's amazing and fun to work with. This time I've used a template by Petit Moineaux.

 

 

 

I just love this quote...funny and cute, isn't it?

Phew.... I did it!  I actually finished this post!!! YAY!

I've been adding bits and pieces to it since saturday evening. Every time something came up...

Well, I guess that's it for now... I'm totally beaten today (something for another post) , and am off for a nice cup of tea and a book (if the kids allow me, that is! lol)

Hope you all have a very nice day!

Hugs to all,

Livia.

I scrapped! I scrapped!

Hi guys!

Well, first of all I'd like to say THANK YOU for all your support on our sale for Jazzy and for all the words, thoughts and prayers you all sent her way!!! You are truly amazing!!! MWAH!!!

And second... I wanna show you a couple of things.

I've been on a scrapping and posting spree this past few days(YAY!). It feels great to actually scrap again! lol And my conscience is feeling a bit less guilty now that I'm catching up with my CT duties. Let me show ya:

 

 

 

 Dar has a gorgeous kit called One Summer Day, have you seen it already? 

 

 

 

Here are a few lo's I made with it:

Don't you love the freshness of this kit?

The next one I want to show you is this AMAZING kit by Jenni (Chaos Lounge) called Dear Diary.

 

 

I just loooove this one! It's so funky, isn't it?

Just like the rest of Jenni's work, it's so full of personality and uniqueness!

 

 

 

Here's what I made with it:

These are my cousins, Ju e Tata. Aren't they beautiful? :D I miss you, girls!

template by Yin Designs.

This one was made for a new online friend I've met at Amigas & Scraps, a Brazilian forum.

template by Yin Designs.

Here's another awesome kit by Jenni called Secret Window:

 

This one is fantastic, so many possibilities! I'll definitely be making more pages with it!

But for now here's one! ;)

 

 

 

These are photos of a really fun day Menno and I spent with our friends Juliana (my BFF), Alex and Jeroen. I just love these pics, even though they are very low quality! lol

template by Yin Designs. (can you tell I love her stuff? lol)

Tired yet??? I sure hope not... there's still plenty more! I told you I was on a spree... :P

Here's another kit that I absolutely adore:

 

 

It's called Oceanside and it's by Web Designz by Kristi and it's really really fun to work with!

 

 

 

 

This is not a new layout, but I thought I'd share it anyway because I just love the way it turned out! ;) How cute is my little beach princess, huh? hahaha

I also love this one... Love that picture and how the entire lo turned out! My little man strolling by the beach... :D

Kristi also has this beautiful kit called Butterfly Shimmer  

 

I used it to make a page for another friend I've recently met at Amigas & Scraps.

Isn't her daughter just adorable???

 

 

 

I misspelled Coco Chanel, but only noticed it AFTER I had posted it everywhere... so for now I'll just leave it as it is! lol

Vasco from Moon Scraps has this fantastic kit called Nirvana

  

 

 

 

It's so beautiful and unique! You gotta check it out!

 

 

 

 

I made this layout using it and I truly love result. These photos were taken on Menno's birthday. Aren't they great?

Ok... believe it or not, but I have looots more to show, but for your sake (and mine haha) I'll take a break now...  :D

Have to do some real life stuff now.... Will come back later to bore you with more, ok? LOL

Many hugs to all,

Livia.

A Sale for a FRIEND

Hello Everyone!

Today we are having a big sale at DSO. For 24 hours, most of the store will be 50% off (including CU stuff).

We are having this sale to help a dear friend and fellow DSO designer, Jazzy. Those of you who know her, know that she's the sweetest lady ever and that she's had a rough year so far...

Here are Bunny's words that might explain it a bit more of what happened and what our intentions are:

"Dear Friends,

Yesterday one of our design team members and friend, Jazzy, suffered a great loss.  Her grandson, who was only 16, passed away.  It has only been a few months since her daughter passed away as well.  We are all so sad for everything Jazzy has had to go through these last few months.  You can read more about Andrews life, by reading this touching forum post she made at http://www.scrapbookmax.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4426&highlight=Jazzieal a while back.  For those of you who do not know Jazzy, she is one of the sweetest kindest ladies I have ever been blessed to meet.  She is a little further on in years, and lives on a very limited income.  We, the designers at DSO, do not want her to have to worry about coming up with money to pay her bills at this time.  She has so much on her plate already.  In an effort to do "what we can" to help her, we are having a ONE DAY ONLY SALE.  Most of our team are participating in the sale (which INCLUDES Commercial Use and Mega kits) and 100% of the proceeds from todays sale will be sent to Jazzy.  If you would like to put a message to Jazzy in the comment block during checkout, I will gladly include your name on the card that will be sent to her with the money raised.  Any messages will be printed and included as well.

If you would like to donate instead of buy,  you can send funds thru paypal to support@digital-scrapbooking.org   please put FOR JAZZY on the transfer, and your name will be included in the card as well as any message.

If you would like to just leave her a message, to let her know she is in your thoughts her blog is http://wordstodelite.blogspot.com/  and we also have made her a post in the forum Prayer Request….

Please take advantage of this one day sale, and help us help her.

~Bunny Cates, owner"

So as you can see this is your opportunity to get a great bargain AND help a great person! And if you can't help financially, which is completely understandable, but can make the time to leave her a kind word and some love either on her blog or on the thread at DSO it would already be AWESOME!

I'd like to thank you all in advance for your support!

Hugs,

Livia.

THANK YOU!!!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

That's what I have to say about the response we've had with the sale and the Scrap Journal Freebie.

Unfortunatelly the links to Scrap Journal expired today, but those of you who missed it, don't worry! It will be available at the DSO shop soon!

I can't wait to see all the gorgeous layouts that will be made with this kit!
