{Mermaid Lagoon!!} freebie alert!

It feels so funky to be posting new stuff on a Thursday! I've been doing it on Fridays for so long now! But I'm actually glad it worked out this way because I'm sooooo excited to release . . .

"Mermaid Lagoon"



Here are a few detail shots for ya (click to enlarge)!



Isn't it BEEE-UTIFUL?! I just LOVE mermaids! Always have. When I was little my friends and I used to ALWAYS play mermaids when we would go swimming. I had mermaid toys, dolls, etc. And of course - "The Little Mermaid" was my FAVORITE. I love Ariel! I've been scheming and planning and saving up stuff to make this kit for a LONG time now and its finally here!!! YAY!!!  I went nuts and it turned into a MEGA KIT.  It's huge!  I swear, you can scrap so many pages with this one!!

I also whipped up (using my own Ariel LOs and a LO from Tami and Ashley) a gorgeous little 12x12 Quick Page Album!  


"Mermaid Lagoon 12x12 Quick Page Album"



And . . . if you buy the mega-kit this week, you get this quick page album for free!! Automatically included in your mega-kit download!! :)



AND . . . if you can handle more cute-ness . . . I felt inspired to make an entire coordinating pack of burst-patterned paper!!!

"Bursting with Joy: Summer"




PLUS!!!!!  - For this weekend only everything at ScrapMatters is 25% off!  So snatch these up this weekend, and any other Britt-ish Designs stuff you've had your eye on!!



I went a little nutty and scrapped a bunch of pages with the new schtuff.  So, let's look at my LOs first and then I'll show you my teams'!!

OK - I have SO many cute pics from when my little niece met Ariel for the first time. I HAD to scrap them ALL!!!







Funny thing! Marci (my SIL) had to scrap them too! HAHA (Marci and I are both NUTS for Ariel!!)



As always, Erica went above and beyond with not 1, not 2 but THREE fabulous LOs!

The extraction queen at work:




And proving that its not only for the girls . . .


Tami also showed me how FABULOUS this kit looks on the little MEN.


Ashley is such an inspiration! I LOVE what she created!


I couldn't believe this was the same kit when Leah emailed this beauty to me! This kit is seriously so huge, you can get a TON of looks out of it!!


My resident 2-Pager Princess, Danica, scrapped this ADORABLE bathtime page!


Zakirah NEVER ceases to amaze me with her fabulous style!


And one more!
Jeni scrapped this PERFECT LO. I love love love how it all matches her photos!


Gosh - aren't they fun?? Usually by the time I release a kit I sort of need a break from looking at it or scrapping with it, just because I've been staring at it for SO LONG! But I can't get sick of this one! It might be my personal favorite of all my kits!  I hope you love  it too!

And with a new kit, of course comes a little add-on freebie!! Just a few more things that I just had to make! :)



Click HERE to download and be sure and say hey when you do!!

OK - what are you waiting for?!  You got your freebie, now go check out all the new stuff in the shop!!! :)  Thanks for reading!  I can't believe my hit counter is over 104,000!  WHAT?!  That boggles my brain.  But thanks for stopping in and I hope you saw something fun today! :) :)

See you guys on Saturday after my camping trip to post the Show Offs!!

{ticker fixer}

I came to post and wanted to check my trip countdown ticker first and was depressed cuz I felt like no time had passed since I first put it up!

Well, turns out no time HAD passed! Haha!! It wasn't working. So - I think I've got it fixed but we'll see!!! I don't know what to do if it just doesn't count down. OH WELL! I guess we'll see tomorrow if it still says 3 months and 10 days or if it changes to 9 for me.

Wow - scintillating blog post huh?

Josh is off at a work meeting and I'm gearing up for the big release tomorrow! I can't WAIT!! I've got so much cute stuff to show ya, its killing me!  Tivo is quietly recording SYTYCD so we can watch it when Josh gets home.  He better not be too late cuz we ARE watching it!

The Speed Scrap last night was fun but crazy!! Our sweet hostess Stacy disappeared suddenly after instruction #3, and we waited around just chatting for about a half hour before I decided to step in and attempt to finish the night. It ended up still being a lot of fun.  Turns out Stacy had lost power! Poor girl!!! Anyway - here's what I ended up with!!

I also scrapped a couple Disneyland pages that I realized I haven't posted here.

Well, that's it. Guess I'll go round myself up some dinner and eat it in front of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" (my new fun Tivoed show to veg out and watch - thanks to Marci talking it up so much!!).

((Don't forget! New stuff out tomorrow instead of Friday and Show Offs on Saturday night!!))

See ya peeps!

{change up}

First of all, Happy Canada Day!  No, I don't live in Canada, but my husband served a mission for our church there for 2 years so he LOVES Canada (Ontario, specifically).  We went on an awesome trip there for our 1st anniversary and now I love Canada too!   HAPPY CANADA DAY!

The 4th of July is this Friday and I'm so excited!!! I LOVE the 4th of July! We are going camping and boating this year with my aunt and uncle and cousins. I can't wait! BUT - I swore I would never do a new release and then head out of town again! So, I'm doing my new release a day early this week! Be sure to check in on THURSDAY this week for my big new kit! I'm sooooooo excited about this one!! It's near and dear to me.  It's VERY Brittney!  Here's a little peek!



AND since I can't cut Show Offs off a day early - not fair to all my last minute scrappers - Show Offs will be posted late Saturday Night when I get back. But, for those Show Offs I DO get before Thursday, they will get their prize a little early. :)

Clear as mud?

One last thing, if you want a cute free template (designed by me) check out ScrapMatters' new Template Challenge this week. It's a great template and there are prizes to win!!

Ohhhhhh!! I almost forgot! Silly me! I'm SPEED SCRAPPIN' tonight! And I hope you'll come too. It's at 7:00 my time (Mountain Time). For more details and time conversions check out the thread here. Scroll down that thread and check out the participation prize from Happy Scrap Girl! It is CUTE!!! Don't miss it!!

Peace out.

{the daily scrapper}



Have you discovered "The Daily Scrapper" yet? Alice Koh has started this FUN little online publication and guess who is featured THREE TIMES in this issue?!! Yes, yours truly.

My "Best Friends" LO is a Featured Layout. Check it out here (on the right-hand side). Fun huh??? AND I also get to give out a freebie (but mine doesn't come up in rotation until next week. But you can see a preview of it here (again on the right-hand side).

And thirdly, I got to have a little AD in the photo book section, showin' off my templates and QPs which are perfect for creating photo books. Fun stuff, huh?

Regardless of my little cameos, this issue is fun! I've just been reading through it this morning and its so cool. Alice has really done an amazing job and I'm so happy I got to be a tiny part of it.

{bloggity blog}

Hello.  It's Sunday, and I am right on track with another 52 blessings page.


{credits}

I used my new "A Kid Again" alpha. I'm lovin' it!!

I also have a couple blog prompts from SSD.

First thing - they had a little quiz to take about what your fridge says about you. It's half true, half totally wrong.



  • You aren't greedy, but you don't really deprive yourself either. You strike a good balance with the stuff you buy.
  • You are not careful with your money. In fact, you rarely think about how much you are spending. WRONG
  • You are not adventurous at all. You don't like to be outside your comfort zone.
  • You try to be responsible, but you don't always succeed. Your heart is in the right place though.
  • You are likely single - and spending many nights alone at home. WRONG
This quiz was pretty lame, but hey - if you wanna take it - here is the link.


The other blog prompt they had was to talk about your favorite summer activities. I think my favorite thing in the summer is going to baseball games.

Josh and I LOVE baseball. We don't have any major league teams to go see here in Utah but we support our minor leaguers. Last week we went to the Owlz season opener! I love watching baseball.  Live is best but on TV isn't bad either. Summer means baseball and I LOVE baseball!!!

Well, have a nice Sunday everybody!!

{HAPPY FRIDAY}

It's a happy day. The funk has lifted and I'm back to my old self, thanks in large part to my wonderful web-friends and their never-ending support!!!

Here's what I've got out new today!!

"Happiest Dots On Earth"



Fresh, bright, funky and perfect for TONS of scrapping (Disney or otherwise)! I was inspired by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. My niece LOVES it and I love the bright fun colors.

"A Kid Again" Alpha



Definitely my most playful alpha to-date. Black goes with everything and this alpha will coordinate with SOOOO MANY of my kits!

And lastly . . .

"Happiest Phrases"



I realized that my little peek yesterday probably made it seem like a kit!  But surprise!! It's not! haha


Ashley scrapped the CUTEST LO with the new paper pack!! See . . .



Zakirah scrapped this adorable play using just "A Kid Again" alpha.



And here's what I scrapped with all the new schtuff.



FUN!!

Well, its time for some showin' off!!! And not by me!

You Show Offs ROCKED it this week!! A new record number of LOs! WOWZERS!! Loved it. And you'll all be getting my new "A Kid Again" alpha. Enjoy!!!!

If you want to show off next week just email me a LO you created over the coming week (email's under my pic on the top right) using any Britt-ish products. :) Make your subject line "Show Off" and send a saved for web 600x600(ish) LO!! Can't wait to see who shows off next week!

That's it from me. Have a happy happy Friday!! Thanks again for all your support. I hope you like the new goodies and maybe even pick up 1 or 2! I can't tell you how much I appreciate my customers!! I get a little teary just thinking about it.

PEACE OUT YO!!!
