Today I did something brave. (well, actually it was last night, but the effect became visible today) Something I rarely do. I said no. Ok, I did say more than no, maybe it was more of a ‘no more’, but it still was rare. And I hope this will help me control the chaos in my head. I used to be pretty quick with things, my brain could solve a puzzle AND read a book at the same time, so to speak. But apparently 2 pregnancies put an end to that. Or maybe it’s a small residu of pregnancy hormones? Don’t know… and I don’t know if I’ll ever get ‘my’ brain back. I need my brain to focuss on more than one thing at the same time, OR I need to have only one thing to focuss on. Since I cannot do the first, I chose to do something to have the last. I sent an e-mail to all my co-workers explaining what my life looks like now. Some may think I’m an idiot, some have already said WELL DONE (and they made me smile ), some may not care at all. I just hope it’s of my chest and out of my brain, so I can focuss again! Gosh I wish I wouldn’t have to focuss on so many things…

Ok, on to the next thing: another new release day!! Yes, you must have already heard: Elemental Scraps will from now on release new products on Fridays. What a great way to start of your weekend!! Here’s what I have this time (and it’s also Color Play weekend!):

Some of you may already recognize this, since it used to be part of a collab. Now available as mini-kit, Afternoon Daydream, and it’s on sale too!

A set of cardstocks and a set of interview pieces, matching Septembers Color Play pallette! I thought it would a fun idea to interview our children once a year, and document their favorites at that moment. If you like to do this too, you can use the interview pieces as jumpstarters! Color Play items will be $1 only the first week, then they’ll go up in price. Here’s your chance, happy shopping! I’ll leave you with some CT inspiration, and I’ll see you back tomorrow!

(btw: almost 600 fans!!!)

Feeling uninspired? Let me share some of my CT layouts!

Layouts by the newest addition to the B Team: Elaine!

This one is by Dawn, and all layouts were created with Lavender Lush! Thanks for looking! (and the images are linked to the Elemental Scraps gallery )

First of all: congrats to the 3 ladies that left comments on the last post, you all have coupons to get the 4 August Color Play goodies for FREE!

Second: here they are, in full bloom!

I was inspired by the lavender blooming in our front yard, and this months colors reminded me of that flower. Don’t you just love the smell of lavender?

So I created a solid and a patterned paperpack, with lovely purples, blues and a touch of yellow.

Off course, I had to pick some lavender and extract it. In fact, that little flower is still laying on top of my iMac, and sometimes I stop and have to smell it

An itty bitty alpha in 2 colors to complement, and when you buy all 4 packs (remember, $1 each, so you’ll save no matter what!), you’ll end up with this:

Now on to some inspiration!

Make sure you check out the other designer’s goodies as well, cause as you see in the layouts, it’s easy to mix ‘n match!

Tomorrow will be the starting point for another fabulous round of Color Play at Elemental Scraps. I love the color palette this month, and was instantly inspired to create the 4 packs I designed. All goodies will be available for $1, so you’ll be able to mix ‘n match to create your own megakit! Now on to the sneak peek:

Want to win ALL 4 of my packs? Leave me a comment here, and I’ll be back on Monday to pick a lucky winner!
