yay!!!! im so excited the share with a little secret ive been keeping,,, i made it onto the *scrap yourself* design team!!! so rad, right?? if you know anything about lil ol me,,, im a big fan of scrapping myself,,, thats not bad, is it?? i mean, my kids do get a ton of attention on the layouts,, although i have to admit, my poor hubby has noticed his face hasnt made it to many layouts as of late. i promise to work on that,,, i think i just take most of my pictures when hes working,, he does work six days a week afterall,,, anyway,,, im sooooo excited and have already gotten started on scrapping myself!!! so here is the layout i created to apply for the design team position, i used mostly *glitter in the air*, but there is a bit of marchs addiction in there as well as embellishments ive been hoarding from previous kits. here is *ally*cakes*,,, by the way, *ally*cakes* is a name that D {who creates our amazing blog designs} gave me. and it totally stuck,, i guess you can tell, i loved it,,, thought it was oh so fun, and perfect!!!

ive been working on her bedroom for some time now. not, like, spending every minute in there. mainly waiting for the perfect pieces to fall in to place. ive been searching thrift stores for the final bits. perfect thrifted pieces are harder to find then brand new perfect pieces. right now, im looking for the perfect recycled nightstands as well as an adorable table and at least one more chair to make a tiny tea party area in her room. and her quilt that im making,,, still working on that as well. but for now, i wanna share my little girl babys bed room. last year my mother in law asked what the kids wanted for christmas, perfect, they want beds. they need toys like a hole in the head, so beds were perfect. i wanted to get her a bed that would last her for all of her elementary,middle and high school years, {even in to collage ~ yikes!!!}, so this is what i fell in love with. and the dresser as well. the vanity was my adorable mother in laws request, she seriously begged me if she could buy it for sofia, uh, yeah. of course you can. {i guess} *wink*. so, here it is,,,

i love everything about her room,,, but my favorite details are those she added all by herself,,, like this,,,

and this,,,

she needs a bed skirt, i know, i know,,,

i think its pretty cute for a four year old angel,,, dont you?!?!

oh my, oh my, these kits take my breath away,,, for august, weve got, just for you, the *sweet escape* main kit and *lemonade* for our add on kit,,, theyre amazing,,, im gonna go create with them now,,,, ill be back later to share projects :-)

lollipop, lollipop, oh lollipop, lollipop,,, yip~pee!!! here i go!!! i am one of the newest members,, ahem, lollipop girls, of the candy shoppe designs,,, oh snap,, so stoked!!! ive love this challenge blog for ever and lynnette,, who runs it, well, shes perfection. love her, love this blog. so excited to be a part of it!!! oh ~ my name, you might ask?? well, i be the *sour patch chick*,,, love it!!! heres my shot,,,

and you gotta see what my girl baby pulled off while i was taking my lollipop girl photos,, shes fun. check it here,,,

love, ally

my adorable armenian princess friend ~ deb ~ aka sparkling scrapbooks, aka design team head honcho for the paris hilton creativity collection ask me to join her on the design team. yeah. im sooooo honored, stoked, thrilled,,, amazed to be a part of this. for starters, have you seen her work?? shes wicked talented,,, thank you miss deb.

and second, uh, paris rocks a pink bently,, dude, anybody that rolls in a pink ride is perfect if you ask me,,, ;-)

alright, seriously, i love the fact that this line is geared towards teens. i am always open to express the fact that im sad that i didnt start scrapping at a younger age,,, for several reasons,,, {ear muffs mom} ~ it woulda been a lot less troublesome that what i was doing,,, ;-) and think of all the memories i would had by now,,, ive always been a camera heavy chick,,, love taking pictures, playing around, whatever,,, so scrapbooking would have been perfect!! and considering the same,,, teens these days scare me {totally, totally generally speaking, of course}, but also considering i have a sweet, precious little chicky of my own that im trying to create and mold into what i would want, a *good person*, i think something like this would be awesome for her, in her teen years,,, i think the message is positive and perfect. and i wanna help. oh ~ yeah, and hello ~ bling,,, loves!!!!

so, im so stoked, and i cant wait to get started and posting and sharing with you my creation, after creation, after creation,,, please joins us on the adventure,, itll be a fun ride {it a pink bently, if you will} ;-),,,
