Birthday Celebration!

(click on the card for a direct link to all of the fun at MouseScrappers!)

So we moderators (and a few helpers) have been busy busy busy putting together an awesome 2nd birthday celebration for MouseScrappers.  It's four weeks of fun, starting with a week long chatapalooza, 3 weeks of fun party games, a week of speed scraps, all finished up with a blog hop!  

I have seen a bunch of the prizes and let me tell you this stuff is awesome!  You are gonna want to participate as much as possible because A - it will be fun and B - you will NEED these prizes!

It's been a lot of organizing, but I think it will be tons of fun for everyone who visits MouseScrappers!

The cutest kit EVUH! - Into Spring by Haynay Designs

So the second I saw the new kit from Haynay Designs this week I was in love.  the owls, the mushrooms, the trees..soooo cute!  And, the second second I saw it it reminded me of the artwork of Mary Blair, the iconic artist who was the creative genius behind the classic Disney attraction It's A Small World- the colors that aren't quite brights and aren't quite pastels, the graphic look to the mushrooms and leaves....love it!  So I had to do a small world page with it!  Here is the super cute kit and matching alpha

And here is the page I created with it!

So Excited!

I was lucky enough to be a guest on the Haynay Designs creative team for March and April.  Imagine my surprise when Heather so nicely asked me to stay on as a full time member of her creative team!  Yay!  I was absolutely thrilled and of course said YES!  She has a ton of great stuff coming up that I am so excited to scrap with, and I'm so happy to be a member of the team!

two super nice people doing something super nice to raise Autism awareness!

Have you ever come across new friends online and you just KNOW they are nice people?  Two of my nicest online friends are Denise of A Grieving Mommy blog and Natalie of Natalie's Place Designs.  These two ladies just exude niceness and generosity and they've come together to create an AWESOME kit inspired by our favorite duck to help raise awareness for Autism.  All of the proceeds from their joint kit will go to Autism Speaks, a wonderful organization dedicated to raising awareness about the puzzle we call Autism.  Check out Natalie's blog for a description of how Autism has affected her family and then head over to Denise's blog to donate to this wonderful organization AND receive this must have kit.

A couple more pages

The Donald page I did for the speed scrap on Friday.  It's been a super crazy week and neither hubby nor I are feeling well, so my mojo was limited.  I don't love the donald page, but it is done and I got the prize that I absolutely had to have from Keystone Scraps!

This was the prize

totally worth staying up to late and scrapping while felling yucky!!

Also, I did this Biergarten page for a speed scrap a few weeks ago and forgot to post it.

Great Stuff this week!

Heather of Haynay Designs has not one, not two, but three great new items this week!  First is the page I made with 2 of them. 

I used My Magical Place: Grunge it up and Don't be So Negative Template Set

cool huh!
