Lauren and the girls on her Creative Team are always on the lookout for someone in the digiscrapping world who is going through a tough time and is in need of a little sunshine to brighten their day.

Today we want to send some love to a gorgeous scrapper who is going through a hard time in her life, Danielle (aka Artemia). We decided to lift some of the LO in her gorgeous gallery.

Here is what the team came up with :

I decided to lift her LO called 5 reasons I love about you… :

I have always found Japanese art to be very inspiring so I thought I’d carry the theme to this blog post and bring a little Japanese inspiration from around the web to your Monday morning. Enjoy!

Hope your find some Zen in your Monday.

Today I wanted to tell you about one of my latest “Oooh Cool” finds. Not only is it practical (well, sort of LOL), it’s also full of possibilities for inspiration and eye candy. I’m talking about Domino magazine’s My Deco File.

Without subscribing to the magazine or paying for anything, you get to create a nifty gallery of images that you find around cyberspace. You can upload your own pictures or the My Deco File Bookmark grabber lets you capture images as you browse the web. While the original intent is to organize home design inspirations, you can grab a layout from a gallery to lift, or a color swatch, just as easily as an image from a blog feed or website. You can then organize them into “books” if you so choose, in any type of category. Or don’t, you have a lot of control. One of my favorite features is that I can keep books private or make them public. After  you add an image, it takes you right back where you started. It’s a never ending supply of all things fun to look at.

Check it out here…..My Deco File

Have fun!

That ONE is the amazing KEELY!!!

Keely has been a part of Lauren’s team several years and is a huge part of the close knit family we have become! We all love and adore Keely for her huge heart and the support and inspiration she has given us all.. We all decided to choose one of our favorite Keely layouts from her gallery..

Karen chose Keely’s “Dreams” layout

The first thing that comes to mind about Keely is how positive she is. She’s always a cheerleader on our team, but I often see praise that she’s left around the community for others, too. I also love the sweet perspective she brings to her layouts. She does a fabulous job of scrapping her emotions, which is just what scrapping should be about! …..From Karen

Renee and Lauren both chose Keely’s”40 years and counting” layout

I’ve known Keely for about 2.5 years now. I guess that’s as long as I’ve been scrapping! We’ve been on various teams together and she has always been a great friend and scrapper. If you need someone to talk to or just a shoulder to cry on, Keely is always there. I feel so lucky and blessed to have made of friend out of her and I hope someday I will be able to meet her face to face so that I can tell her that. Here is one of my favorite Keely LO’s. I just love the way she uses her elements  and all the suttle touches and those pics of her super cute DH are so fun. MWAH!!!! …. from Renee

Although Keely would NEVER admit it, she’s one of the MOST creative scrappers around! I don’t know what i love more… her honest scrapping of everyday life or her attention to every tiny detail… or wait, maybe her ability to rock an extraction! Keely, bottom line, you RAWK sistah, thank you for always inspiring us! *MWAH* xoxoox ….from Lauren

Jen chose Keely’s “Shared” layout

As a scrapper, I look to her for inspiration, She puts such a unique spin on elements - she’s taught me to have more fun and to break out of my comfort zone! And I admire how much her scrapping expresses so much of the personal story behind the photos. Her heart is in every layout, 100%. …from Jen

Nicole chose Keely’s “Tomgirl” layout

I think this page sums up Keely’s fabulous scrapping style - fun. I love Keely’s style and I am grateful for the fact that I have “met” her through this CT. She is such a wonderful, caring person. …from Nicole

Kellie chose Keely’s “Flopsy Mopsy” layout

I am so honored to get to create alongside Keely! Her layouts constantly inspire me. I love her bright use of colors! But, more than anything, her layouts inspire me to be a better mother. I want Millie to grow up in a home knowing she is as loved and cherished as Keely loves her girls! …from Kellie

Stephanie chose Keely’s “No Supermom” layout

This layout shows just how loving and inspirational Keely is to everyone on our team. I always love her journaling and it is not only inspiring but heart warming to see how great of a mother she is to her two lovely daughters! I have been on the team with Keely from the way beginning and it has been a great pleasure to get to know her throughout the years! We love ya Keely! …from Stephanie

Thanks again Keely for all your kind words, your warm heart, and your overflowing inspiration!

I’m happy to showcase some of their amazing layouts using Lauren goodies!!

today is the start of the big LDD sale, so be sure to head on over for some serious discounts!

i wanted to have lots of new goodies ready for the sale, but sadly, my computer melted down (quite literally), so i’ve been unable to design for a few weeks now.

luckily, i was able to finish this set of frames up before the meltdown….

they are available NOW in the LDD shoppe, HERE!

Enjoy and have a great week!

I like to stock up on children’s books when I travel home to Australia. I like the fact that they contain Australian words and figures of speech. It’s my little way of trying to help my children grow up ”bilingual” - if Australian counts as a language.

During my most recent trip, I discovered a wonderful Irish children’s book author and illustrator by the name of Oliver Jeffers. He writes in British english which means he uses words like Petrol instead of gas and torch instead of flashlight. But of course that’s not the only reason I bought the books. I love the quirkiness of the stories and the beautiful, fun artwork. After some quick internet research, it turns out he is also an artist.

Oh, and his books are available on Amazon - both US and UK versions. I bought How To Catch a Star and The Way Back Home and quickly ordered this one and this one when I got home (the airline luggage allowance wouldn’t allow for more).

You can find more information and see more artwork from Oliver Jeffers on his website which is an inspiration on its own. In the meantime, here are few of my favourite images.

Hope you have a great Mojo Monday.
