Wow--are you completely taken aback by how February is in full swing and how you haven't accomplished much in the new year? That's how Loni of Grace Blossoms 4 U feels if she thinks about it. Seems like so much is going on and I get to participate in at least some of it. She is getting ready to celebrate Valentine's Day simply because her anniversary is on the 16th and it is a reminder of how blessed she is to be married to wonderful man. So let me introduce her new release for scrapping all the blessings in our lives.
Count Your Blessings is a bright and fresh kit that has an artsy feel to it. Made with stencils, paints and brushes, it plays well with all sorts of photos. Loni has also created a freebie for you. You can find it on her facebook page. I have the image below linked to take you there.
I fell in love with this kit! As soon as I saw it, the photos below jumped into my head. Here is some that I have done. I used two templates from her new template pack, Blessed Revelation.
The Scraps N Pieces blog train on the 15th for February's "Waiting To Bloom". Here is the template she made for it. Get it before the month ends! Also, if you use page files, they are now offered with all of her templates! Thank you Jennifer, for offering this service!
Loni is also hosting the 2nd template challenge for this month at Scraps N Pieces. Get this free template, join in the fun, and earn some valuable points towards store coupons!
In other news, Scraps N Pieces is having a storewide sale on President’s Day (Feb.17) Be sure to check it out. On February 14th the designers over at Scraps N Pieces are having a wonderful facebook hop. There are even commercial use items in the mix!
On February 22nd, Loni is hosting a speed scrap.
Until later,
Jenn

This weekend is the annual Speed Scrap Marathon over at MouseScrappers. She has created things to go in the goodiebags (you'll get one after finishing 8 scraps (half marathon) or 16 scraps (full marathon)). To celebrate this marathon all Disney related things in her shop (bundles, minikits, scrapkits) are on sale for this weekend. You can get to her store by clicking HERE, or by clicking on one of the product previews below.
These two products were released last Saturday. Dream Portrait may look familiar as she has combined three of the freebies she as offered, and put them together in case you missed them. she also released a pack of Dotted Papers, that coordinates with P12-2014
This week she has two more paper packs, one with Basic Chevrons, and another pack of Solids. These solid papers have a more sudle texture to them than the last set. You can find these two packs on sale for 50% off.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Jenn
Do you have snow outside? After receiving another 20 cms yesterday, there is no doubt that we have snow. In fact we have a nice hill in the front yard. Too bad you would arrive face first into another snow bank if you tried to slide down it. Mommy Me Time Scrapper and The Scrappy Kat are releasing Frosty today. Filled with lots of different snowmen, frosty is a kit to use for all of those snow photos you have. You can find Frosty on sale for 40% off.
Since I have been scrapping my snowmen this year, I have used Frosty with another snowman. My other layout is of the snow we had back in March 2009. (We have that much now in February 2014!)
Here is my freebie for you today. Click the preview below to download.

This month Leaving a Legacy Designs participated in Scraps N Pieces, Bits N Pieces. She has four different packs available on sale until February 7th. Painted Love has a painted Alpha, put the Elements Pack also has painted flowers and leaves. With Valentines Day being less than two weeks away, these packs are filled with goodies to scrap the loves of your life.
The first layout I did was using the template provided for the template challenge at SNP. To check out the first template for this month click HERE, and then on the template challenge. For the second I wanted to highlight a couple of photos of my nephews, who I will always love.
(Template by Adriana’s Cafe – as of right now it is still free) (Template: Day by Day 2014 Vol. 1 by PrelestnayaP - Font DJB Bailey and KG Love You Through It 2)
We had a nice sunny, warm (only –15C) day. So what did I do? Prepared for the snow that starts tomorrow night. So shopping was a must, cleaned up the snow and tried to make room for the snow to come. It was nice to see the sun and enjoy some time soaking it in.
