Just wanted to show off my newest kit, Lucky Duck! Its bright colors and playful patterns and elements make it great for scrapping both girl and boy layouts! Be sure to check it out at Oscraps. Grab it before the end of the day tomorrow (Wednesday, February 28) and you can get 20% off! Also, don’t miss the super cute word art made by creative team member (and budding word artist!) Jodie McNally!
For those of you who may have missed it, Genevieve is the Spotlight Designer at Oscraps this week!!!! And she’s having a CT call!!!!!!!!!! She made an AWESOME freebie, and the challenge for the week is to scrap something that makes you happy! So as I was checking out the gallery, I came upon this layout by kchris:
Isn’t it a great layout??? If you want details on where kchris got this awesome freebie, check out the post below mine. Also, don’t forget, there’s only a few more days to get your scraplift in. Right now the chances of you winning are VERY VERY great. 
Remember...we could be highlighting your layout too...all you have to do is scrap with Sweet Genevieve goodies, and post in a gallery. We hunt through a good number of them.
Happy Scrapping!!!!

Hello everyone!!!! Kara here with a bunch of info you are NOT going to want to miss!!! But first, lets get some old business out of the way, shall we? Thank you to everyone who played along with Laura’s list last month! Elizabeth (Dogwood Mama) is the lucky winner!!!! Yay!!!! You can check out her layout, Happy Reunion, here! We so appreciate all your layouts, and we look forward to another list challenge later this month!
Next, I’d like to introduce our fabulous Guest CT member for the month, Tracyfish! Laura took a few moments to interview Tracy, and this is what she had to say:
Laura: Give us the 411 on yourself…
Tracy: I’m a 32-yr-old SAHM of a very active 2-1/2 yr old little boy named L.J. who is the subject of most of my layouts unless I can snap a picture of me and hubby, Jay. We live in Central Florida and love to be outdoors!
Laura: What about you as scrapper...paper, digital, hybrid and for how long? How would you define your style?
Tracy: I have been making scrapbooks since junior high, but really got into the good paper stuff when I was introduced to stamping. After my son was born I just didn’t have the time to take everything out or energy to keep him out of the supplies. I got interested in digital through a baby message board and the rest is history. His 1st year paper album is still not finished. I would say my style varies depending on whose products I’m scrapping with, but I tend to like fun, bright unique elements and papers.
Laura: Who are your favorite designers and what products do you love to use?
Tracy: Honestly, I am so proud to be able to CT for some of my favorites...Traci Reed, Dani Mogstad, etc. I am a big fan of frames, ribbons and am a collector of alphas.
Laura: Tell us about your process...what do you start with, how long does it take and where do you scrap?
Tracy: I generally start with a kit or product from one of my CTs. Then I try to work off of challenges because it seems to make me scrap about things I wouldn’t normally think about. Then I sit down at my desk, find the perfect photos and about 30 min to an hour later (depending on how many Hello conversations I’m having) the layout is done.
Laura: Music? Snacks? TV? while you are scrapping
Tracy: I never have music playing because it’s usually when L.J. is sleeping and I’m trying to cut back on the snacking while scrapping, but I love a good bowl of popcorn if I just need a pick-me-up.
Laura: OK, let’s end with favorites...your favorite LO that you have made...your favorite scrapper...your favorite sweet gen product
Tracy: http://www.oscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=19012&cat=0&page=1
fav scrapper...Cindy (cindys732003) She has the best technique of putting lots of elements on a page and not making it look cluttered.
