New Blog up!!

Jess Scraps

is up and running and I'm giving away some nice SBC+ templates over there -- come follow me there, ok? Thanks!!

New Blog Starting Soon!

http://jess-scraps.blogspot.com/ This will be my blog where I focus on CM stuff and SBC+. I will still keep this blog for sharing my favorite Disney kits and freebies. I need to keep them separate to keep myself from getting in trouble with certain boards and with Creative Memories (since I'm now a consultant!). So, for all of my loyal followers (all EIGHT of you!), please consider following my new blog, too!

Magic Meets Inspiration and some of my favorite links

I met a lot of great scrappers at the Scrapbooking meet at Magic Meets this weekend. It was fun to meet and share with lot of fellow Disney Scrappers. I hope I even talked a few of them into trying digital scrapping! So, if you're here because I inspired you to check out some digi stuff -- yippee! I thought I"d share some of my favorite digi Scrapping stores and forums for those who might want to start digital scrapping and don't know where to look!

If you want to find some great freebies (who doesn't?), start with Ikea Goddess's blog

If you want to buy some awesome Disney digital kits and snag some fantastic corresponding freebies, follow Britt-ish Designs blog and the ScrapMatters blog. There you will find INCREDIBLE freebies like this:



and kits for purchase like this recent release (I can't wait to use this one!)


All of these kits and freebies can be used in any digital scrapping software because they are in .jpg and .png format. I LOVE Britt's stuff and I use it all the time with my StoryBook Creator software.

Speed Scrap page

I whipped up this little page tonight for the Speed Scrap on the DIS. If that sentence makes no sense to you, you need to check out ScrapMatters and the DIS scrapbook forum for the scoop! Page designed in SBC+ (of course) using Britt-ish Designs I'm a Dreamer kit, A Kid Again alpha, and Date Stamped

I did it (again)! I'm a CMC!

Well, I pulled the trigger. I couldn't resist the $22 deal Creative Memories is offering to become a consultant. So, I'm officially a CMC again! I'm really excited! I don't want to do tons of classes or anything. I"m really hoping to be more of a digital consultant. I just have to figure out the ins and outs of the whole internet marketing rules and I'll be all set! As far as I know, I can post my website link here, so here it is! MY CM SITE

I plan to keep sharing free templates, etc, here for my blog readers and customers (if I ever get any!). Remember, you can order digital downloads right from my site! I'll find a place to put the link so you can always get to it from here. Oh yeah, here are two page templates I made to share as my first gift as a CMC! Enjoy! Here are the previews, click the link to download the .page files!



Grab the templates HERE. BTW, I'm pretty sure this layout was based on a Becky Fleck PageMap, but I can't remember which month it came from. I print out here .pdf files every month and use them a LOT! If I find the one that inspired me, I'll be sure to let you know. Enjoy the freebie!!

Some NON-Disney layouts to share!

I am just so proud of myself for doing some layouts of things RIGHT after they happened, that I just had to share! I did these layouts this week:

This layout uses mostly stuff from Britt-ish Designs (flowers, sunburst paper, alpha), a string from Ellie Lash, and polka dot paper by Creative Memories (delight kit). It documents what I hope will become an annual tradition -- free water ice at Rita's on the first day of spring!

Now this is a double page spread I did of an outing AJ and I took to the zoo just this past weekend! I told you, I'm on a scrapping spree!! This one uses papers and a ribbon from AWP's About a Boy kit (currently available for only $1!). I noticed that a lot of my pictures had browns and blues in them and they just came together nicely with this kit.

Miss Kim has some Rockin' Kits!

Here's a designer that I discovered recently that has some really Rockin' Disney-ish kits! Her blog is Just Miss Kim and here are the pictures and links to her fantastic FREE Disney kits! (one kit is inspired by that OTHER Florida theme park, but I'll include it anyway!!)

again, again
Heart's Wish

Road Trip

and matching Quick Pages!


and then this one -- for that other theme park, but it is still cute!

I can't wait to play with some of these kits with my Disney pictures! If I ever get any layouts done, I'll be sure to post them for you to see! Maybe I should stop hunting for freebies and actually do a page once in a while!! Nah! :)

Digitreats P365 MICKEY template!

I love the stuff from Digitreats, even though it isn't Disney-specific (usually). But today, she rocked my world with this adorable character template! It is free right now, and then I'm guessing it will eventually be for sale in her store (that's how most of her stuff works). So, if you're quick about it, you can get this for free! Enjoy!



The template comes with .png's, so you can use it in SBC+ or any scrapbooking program out there!!

I'm such a slacker

Sorry I have been AWOL for so long! I really need to update this poor little blog of mine! I have found some great Disney-ish kits in the past months and I have done a few layouts, so if I get my act together, maybe I can throw together a few posts about this stuff!!

Well, since it has been so long, I'd better start off with a bang! and this pixie kit from Ellie Lash is just that! What an awesome kit to scrap little girls dressed as fairies or pictures from Pixie Hollow at Disney World! Here's a picture of the kit and a link:



You can buy it HERE

There is also a little coordinating freebie on Ellie's blog:


I have a backlog of kits to share with you, so hopefully i"ll get my act together and get more posted this week!
