Hi all!! Kylie, here with you today! :o)  The wait is over folks…here are your projectSCRAP templates for the month of MAY!!

How are you going with snapping your weekly photos?  I’m pretty certain you’re all doing better than me.  Yes, I have a confession…this will be the first month since we started projectSCRAP last year that I haven’t taken any pics by template-download-time…not a ONE, guys!! Yikes!!  Should I start to panic?! ;o)  Probably!  But I’m not going to (and you shouldn’t either, if you happen to be in the same boat)…there is still time!!  I’ve just had one of those months…plenty to journal about, but no pictures!  I LOVE these brand new templates and can’t wait to scrap them…so this is what I plan to do: take my little point-and-shoot out on a date!! Yep…a day out…just my lil’ camera and I.  I’m taking Beckie’s rockin’ advice and the opportunity to practise my photography…and I’m excited to see what I come back with!  Now, let’s grab those templates, shall we…

Hi everyone :o)  SP here today…for our APRIL project SCRAP check-in!  April (and the first half of May) FLEW by for us…I mean, it was like a flash, lol :o)  Our month was first spent celebrating Easter…and then preparing for (and going on) VACATION!  We just got back home and had a truly WONDERFUL, amazing, AWESOME time!  It was the ‘biggest’ vacation we have ever been on as a family – three weeks – and lots of great destinations…the main one being Disney World!!!!!  What an incredible experience it ALL was :o)  As you can imagine – I have thousands (literally) of photos and videos to go through…which I will be doing over the coming weeks (and months, lol…hey – let’s just be honest and realistic here…it might even be YEARS!)!  In fact…so many photos that I might even half to split them into TWO albums!  I don’t want to forget a single memory or moment from our trip…so I am constantly typing out notes and journaling – but sadly – am already having a hard time remembering the details, lol!  Ahhhhh, aging, it’s a wonderful thing, lolol :o)  Anyhoo…the only ‘bad news’ is that we all came home quite sick (i mean like REALLY ill)…but we are on the mend and finally feeling a little like our usual selves (always wonder if that is really a good thing or not?  lolol)!  One beneficial thing about being so sick (yes, forever trying to find the positive)…is you can’t do much but sit around (it’s great for a few days – after that….I’m in total ‘cabin fever’ mode, lol)!  So, during the ‘sitting time’ – I was able to scrap my April pages :o)  It was really difficult choosing just a few pics from so many…especially when I still haven’t gone through ALL of them…but I think I ended up with a pretty good ‘summary’ of out month :o)  Part of our vacation was in May, too – so at least I have a little more room to scrap next month, lol!

If you missed the templates for APRIL - be sure to download them HERE!  They are among my faves…love what Kylie did with them :o)  You girls know that I ADORE circles…so this was perfect for me!  So, here are my final pages for April…which is sure to be my fave month in our 2012 album, lol!

Now, let’s get on to MORE inspiration!  I LOOOOVED looking through the project SCRAP 2012 gallery to find all of these gorgeous layouts!  The main thing that I noticed…is that you girls know how to rock…and TWEAK/EDIT templates like nobody’s business :o)  Seriously – I enjoy all of the customizations and changes – it’s a great reminder to us all that templates are just ‘starting points’ that can be modified to suit our needs!  So, as you peek through these pages…check out the differences between them and the original templates…kinda like those brain teasers where you have to find what is different between two photos, lolol! 

Let’s begin with Kim’s APRIL pages!  Seriously – these totally popped off the gallery page…the colors…the photos…the clustering – all pure perfection!  Kim mixed and matched various kits and products and ended up with a masterpiece that I hope to replicate at some point :o)  These layouts just make me smile…and so many details – I just keep going back and looking again!  THANKS, Kim!

Next…Rosy’s pages - they are simply STUNNING!  I have to say – Rosy has an amazing talent when it comes to capturing her kids in photos!  Her photography skills are stellar and that really shows in these pages :o)  Love the close-ups of the kids…and all of the other fun pics that illustrate her family’s month (which looks like a lot of fun!)!  You’ll also notice that she tweaked the templates and the result is fabulous!  Thanks, Rosy! 

 Next…we move on to Kylie‘s gorgeous pages!  They are filled with joy and happiness…and Easter :o)  I always appreciate the way Kylie tells her story in her layouts – and these pages are no exception!  Not only do you feel the sweetness and love…but you feel like you got a glimpse into her world!  There is always a depth to her pages…and I’m just happy she shares them with us…thank you, Kylie :o) 

 Did I mention there was a LOT of gorgeous inspiration this month?  LOL!

Now…how about some ‘eye candy’ from Amber!  She never disappoints with her layouts…and I’m just so happy she is a part of our little Shoppe gallery :o) When I look at these pages – I just get such a sense of FAMILY…all the kids and smiles and FUN – love it!  Looks like a lovely start to spring!  Thanks for sharing, Amber!

 And finally…we wrap-up with jessg26′s pages :o)  Aren’t they BEAUTIFUL?!  Such a gorgeous mix of colors and patterns…all the pink with sunshine yellow = HAPPY :o)  I also love how she modified the templates…adding more photos and lots of great interest!  It’s a gorgeous interpretation – giving a whole new look and feel to the pages!  Thanks bunches!

As always, there is MORE inspiration in our special, project SCRAP 2012 gallery!  You’ll find many more layouts there – so be sure to check it out…and most importantly – UPLOAD YOUR LAYOUTS!!!!!  We love sharing in everyone’s 2012…and love that you guys are joining us for project SCRAP 2012 - THANK YOU :o)

Now…just for fun – I thought I’d share a teensy, tiny little ‘sneak peek’ of May’s templates…which will be shared with everyone next Thursday – here at the BLOG :o)  Looking forward to scrapping with them…

That will do it for me today :o)  Tomorrow is a little ‘blog vacation day’ – so we’ll see you back here in Monday with a new LOTW!  Until then – have a BEAUTIFUL and BLESSED weekend :o)  XOXO — SP

 hey guys :o)  SP here today…for our MARCH project SCRAP check-in!  Of course it is now APRIL…but we will not be ‘scrapping’ April until the beginning of May :o)  I know – it gets confusing, LOL…but the best way to make sense of it…is that we can’t scrap a month until it is FINISHED, he he!  So – the April check-in will be sometime in May :o)  Clear as mud?  lol!

But, to confuse it even further – I have to FIRST share my FEBRUARY pages with you guys, LOLOL!  If you tuned in last month…you might remember that things were super busy for us and I just didn’t have time to scrap my pages before the scheduled ‘check-in’ post :o(  That was the first time I couldn’t squeeze it in…and I felt awful!  BUT, I am happy to say that I am again CAUGHT-UP and completely UP-TO-DATE (and even better…taking LOTS of pics – yay)!  It feels great to be ‘current’ again…and I hope this helps some of you to realize that you really CAN make up for lost time (as long as you do not let yourself get TOO far behind)!  So…without further ado, here are my ‘belated’ February pages :o)  For more February inspiration – you can check out THIS POST!  Anyhoo – I promised I’d share…

Now, onto the topic at hand today :o)  MARCH project SCRAP pages (if you missed the March templates – CLICK HERE)!  We’ll start with mine…I really loved these templates and the ‘spot’ for the large, landscape photo!  And, I had the perfect photo for it (love it when that happens)!  Our March was all over the place, lol…so there was a lot of journaling…and I really appreciated having all of the ‘space’ for it! 

 Next…we have Kim’s March pages!  OH MY GOODNESS…look at the main photo – the kids are adorable (and ALL smiling…how did she manage that?  lol)…and the flowers – LOVE :o)  I think Kim enjoyed all of the journaling space, too – and she did an amazing job of incorporating the fancy flourish stamps from the Heartfelt collection – SOOOO CLEVER and it creates great movement on the pages!  Always enjoy Kim’s project SCRAP pages soooooo much!

How about some gorgeous inspiration from Kylie?  I love the contrast from all of our spring pages…it’s Autumn for Kylie now – and just look at those trees – WOW :o)!  Looks like a fun month…lots of celebrating! 

Next…we have some PRECIOUS pages by Amber!  Oh my Goodness…look at the ‘big’ pic, lol!  just LOVE it :o)  and the little chickies…too cute!  Had to share these with ya – as always – thanks so much for posting, Amber (you really must check out her gallery)! :o)

 Finally, we have these adorable pages by lil_goldie!   The first thing that caught my eye…she rotated the templates!  It was the perfect choice, too – look how perfectly her photos work with the rotated pages :o)  GENIUS…so many adorable photos and I love the mix of patterned papers :o)  Thanks so much for sharing with us!

 Don’t forget that there is always plenty of inspiration in our special, project SCRAP 2012 gallery!  You’ll find lots more pages there – so be sure to check it out…and most importantly – UPLOAD YOUR LAYOUTS :o)  We would LOOOOOVE to see them!  We love that you guys are joining us for project SCRAP 2012 - THANKS!

So, that’s it for me today…but be sure to stop back by tomorrow for a lil’ beauty talk :o)  Have a beautiful AND blessed day/night!  XOXO — SP

Hello everyone…Kylie here! :o)  Dropping by to share this month’s project SCRAP 2012 templates (two separate templates to create a ’spread’) with you all! YAY!

The MARCH templates are nice & bright, and extra cheerful!  We so hope you love them as much as we do!! :o)  And for something a little different I’ve added a longer panoramic-style photo space on the single page…fun, fun!  What if you don’t end up having a photo to fill this space? ~ you might like to divide the space into two or three photo spots, or even clip it with some paper and then layer a framed standard-sized photo on top.  Remember a template is just a kick-start to your own creativity…so feel free to play, play, play!! :o)
