Connie Prince offered this kit, Thankful, as a free-with-purchase at the beginning of the month. Unfortunately, I just realized I hadn’t blogged about it yet. I really love the vintage elements in it.
I scrapped some photos from Thanksgiving 2013 with it.

Today’s new release from Connie Prince is so yummy. Made With Love is all about holiday baking. There are a number of coordinating pieces that can also pick up. You can find all these at Ginger Scraps, Gotta Pixel, and The Digi Chick!
I went searching for photos of my girls helping bake in the kitchen and found these fun photos baking cookies just before Valentine’s Day this year. Journaling reads: We decided to make cookie mixes in a jar for Jessica and Janette’s teachers for Valentine’s Day this year. I chose a recipe that used M&Ms, so we could use festive pink and red ones. Of course, we had to test out the recipe first. Jessica and Janette love to help measure ingredients and stir. They patiently watched as the cookies baked in the oven.

We hope you enjoyed all of these fun products this week. We will see you next week for more new items! I’m pretty pumped about next week’s release.
For international Digital Scrapbooking Day (first Saturday in November), Connie Prince had two grab bags available. Unfortunately, my computer turned off by itself and wouldn’t turn back on right before iDSD, so I wasn’t able to share the layouts I created while the grab bags were available. You can still pick up the kits and coordinating pieces and they’re even on sale currently, but you can’t purchase the steal of a deal grab bag anymore.
The first grab bag I worked with is called Happy Holiday. I really love the blue with the traditional red, white and green Christmas colors.
I made two layouts with this one, both are from our 2013 visit with Santa. Journaling reads: Initially, Janette didn’t want anything to do with Santa Claus. After the hay ride to look at Christmas lights, we went back inside the community center to try one more time to talk to Santa. This time, a conversation about the jingle bells allowed her to get comfortable next to Santa. Janette still didn’t want to sit on his lap, but she at least smiled for a picture.

Journaling reads: It is always fun going to our neighborhood’s Christmas party. Santa and Mrs. Claus pay a visit and unlike the mall, there are very little lines to chat with Santa. After showing Santa Claus how her shoes lit up, Jessica was ready to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted: an alarm clock and furniture for her “little critters,” aka her Calico Critters.

I also worked with the other grab bag, Looking Back.
I really loved the scarecrow and fall elements and decided to scrap this year’s trip to the pumpkin patch. Journaling reads: After picking Jessica up from kindergarten, we headed to Manchaca Methodist Church to visit their pumpkin patch. With it so close to Halloween, the selection wasn’t the greatest, but Jessica and Janette both found pumpkins they liked. We even saw a ladybug while we searched for the best pumpkin. After paying for the two pumpkins, we took them over to their photo spot and the girls humored me by smiling.

“The River of Grass” is the life-blood of the South Florida ecosystem and a love of its waters fills the hearts of locals. The latest kit by Scraps N Pieces, Adventures in the Everglades, captures this love and brings it to a scrapbook page. This warm, inviting bundle draws heavily on the greens of the river’s grasses, the blues of the water and sky, and pops of yellow and brown from flowers and trees. Adventures in the Everglades features elements from the wild Glades, including alligators, an airboat, cattails and sawgrass, a heron, and lillypads galore. This kit also comes with a set of word strips featuring favorite locations and activities from Everglades National Park. Splash right in and enjoy the fun of Adventures in the Everglades! It was made at the request of CT Member Brenda after taking a trip with her mom to the Everglades.
This beautiful kit is available for 1/2 price this week at Scraps N Pieces and at My Memories. 
I have two layouts that I made with photos from a relatively recent trip to the Austin Zoo.
