This week I have two new mini kits that quality for the Iron Scrapper Challenge. Each Iron Scrapper release is priced at only $2.50.

You will find my 2 Iron Scrapper products HERE. And you can find ALL Iron Scrapper products HERE.


My first Iron Scrapper kit this week is inspired by the song “Soak up the Sun” by Sheryl Crow. I have so many fun summer memories listening to the Best of Sheryl Crow album that came out in 2003. One time in particular was driving with my husband and my little sister and our 2 dogs head to a camping weekend. We had so much fun on that trip that our stomachs hurt from laughing afterwards! You can find Soak up the Sun HERE in my store.

My second Iron Scrapper kit this week is based on a song by Maroon 5 called “Animals”! You know those songs that you hear once and then can’t stop singing them all day long? Animals is one of those songs for me! Also, not gonna lie, I just really love to draw animals! You can find Animals HERE in my store.

Make sure to stop by the forum and check out my monthly designer challenge HERE. This month's challenge is a Scraplift Challenge. Scraplifting is copying a completed layout completely or in part. For this scraplift, your layout must be a centered layout like the sample layout below. A centered layout is a layout where the photos, elements, text are centered on the page keeping your eye to the middle of the page; there should not be photos or clusters at the edges or corners of the page. If you submit a page you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a $20 gift certificate to my store!!

And of course, I couldn’t leave you without a freebie! I created some journal spots that coordinate with my Outdoorsy series. (I’ve got a brand new kit in that line coming next week!!) The journal spots are pictured with lines but I’ve also included unlined versions. Enjoy!!

My first Iron Scrapper kit this week is inspired by the song “Under the Sea” from the movie “The Little Mermaid”. This is one of my very favorite animated movies. I first saw it in the theater when I was in high school. I’ve watched it several times since, and my kids now love it as well. Under the Sea is my favorite song from the movie. I thought that the colors this week were just perfect for the theme! You can find Under the Sea HERE in my store.

My second Iron Scrapper kit this week is based on a song by AC/DC called “For Those About to Rock”! I guess maybe I was a little bit of a big haired rocker girl in junior high school. AC/DC was one of my faves! One of my first scrap pages I created (paper page) was of my daughter holding a toy guitar wearing sunglasses and a look of confidence on her face. My title for the page was “For Those About to Rock, We Salute You!” I’ve wanted to create a kit based on that idea for a while now! You can find For Those About to Rock HERE in my store.

For Those About to Rock

Last week I released a kit called Outdoorsy: On the Lake (available HERE). I had created an add-on paper pack intending it as a freebie. However, I didn’t want it to conflict with the rules of the Iron Scrapper competition, so I held on to it until this week. If you picked up Outdoorsy: On the Lake, you’ll definitely want to add this pack to your files! Enjoy!

My first Iron Scrapper kit this week is based on the song “Maggie’s Farm” by Bob Dylan. My husband’s father (who I greatly loved and respected) LOVED Dylan. So Alan grew up listening to him. I met Al when I was 20 and he introduced me to Dylan with an album that included Maggie’s Farm. Since I love the song, and I especially love drawing animals, I decided this was the perfect theme. You can find Maggie’s farm HERE in my store.

My second Iron Scrapper kit this week is based on a song by Merle Haggard called “Working Man Blues” which is one of my Haggard faves! I remember listening to Merle Haggard on camping trips in our motor home as a little girl. My siblings and I still love him. I saw him in concert a couple years ago with two of my brothers. I also thought that the colors for Iron Scrapper this week were just perfect for a construction kit! You can find Working Man Blues HERE in my store.
