A Love For Layout Templates April Blog Train and a Fundraiser Scrapbook Kit

Bloom Where You're Planted Fundraising Scrapbook Kit

My son is fundraising for a Community Service Project. He and four friends are raising money to purchase new clothing items for PADS Lake County, which is an immediate-assistance homeless shelter in our county. You can read more about PADS here. PADS has an urgent need for new basic essentials like tees and sweats; my husband owns an apparel store, so the clothing can be purchased at "cost" and donated- this way, the fundraising group will get the "biggest bang" for their buck!

On their end, they are selling the typical candy bars at school. But I knew I could do something that would help out the cause. Hence my new kit, Bloom Where You're Planted. It is available in my Etsy store at a very special fundraising price of $5.99. ALL the proceeds from the sale of this kit during the month of April will be given to my son's fundraising group to help out. Each purchase of a kit equals 3 tees or a pair of sweats that can be donated to PADS!

Using my new blog train template (see below!):

You can purchase Bloom Where You're Planted in my Etsy store HERE.

Thank you very much for considering helping out my son and his friends, and PADS Lake County! 

Truly, Laurel

A Love For Layout Templates Blog Train

I have been on a circle kick lately, judging from my last few template creations. A fantastic Facebook group I belong to gives me lots of inspiration. Most of the layouts are created with good ol' paper and embellishments, and once in a while a layout stands out so much that I am inspired to create my own template for my digital work. Such is the case with this one- Marie Hirst is the talented scrapper who posted the original paper layout. Thank you, Marie!

Pixel Scrapper April Blog Train

As a literature teacher, I am all about books, so I was very excited when the theme for this month's blog train was announced! Give me a mug of coffee and a good book any day...

You can download my part from GOOGLE DRIVE.

Stop by Pixel Scrapper to pick up the rest of the pieces. Drop us a line while you are there to say thank you to the wonderful designers who put this blog train out for FREE every month!

My Facebook Fan Freebie this month coordinates with this blog train. I had to make some journal cards that were reminiscent of the end papers in antique books.

Stop by next Saturday for the "A Love For Layout Templates" blog train!
Happy Easter! Happy Passover! Happy April Fool's! And Happy Scrapping!

Scrap Designers March Blog Train

My apologies for this being delayed a few hours- last night was opening night for my son's school musical. Which is the perfect lead-in for the blog train, because it is all about music! With a child who is a singer/actor/dancer, I have an affinity for kits that show off the fine arts.

You can download my part from Google Drive HERE.

Pixel Scrapper March Blog Train

The theme for the March Pixel Scrapper blog train was "Love knows No Borders." Do you have friends and family who live far away? I have loved ones all over the globe, so that was what I based my mini off of: How we keep in touch, whether by car, plane, or even good ole' phone calls!

You can download my part from Google Drive HERE.

Go to Pixel Scrapper to download the rest of the beautiful parts HERE, and while you're at Pixel Scrapper, stop by HERE to leave some love for the designers who put together parts for this blog train!

Happy scrapping!

Scrap Designers February Blog Train: For the Love of Food!

Food, glorious food! We're anxious to try it... Three banquets a day, our favorite diet! 

The theme of this month's Scrap Designers Blog Train is...For the Love of Food! Lots and lots of yummy, delicious food! My son's favorite food is burgers, so I created a mini-kit specifically about Burger Joints. 

You can grab my part from Google Drive HERE.

And you can get the rest of the parts at the following locations. Don't forget to leave some love for the designers as you go! Consider it like a "tip" you would leave at a restaurant! ;)

A Love For Layout Templates Blog Train

We have lots of gorgeous templates this month on the ALFLT Blog Train! Do you like circles on your layout? They may very well be my favorite thing to design layouts with, and I was looking for a way to fit many, many pictures onto one layout, so I came up with a design that covers both those things!

I made lots of pages with this template as inspiration- it is super fun to play around with!

Using my L'Amour Collection:

Using Made By Keuntje's Dill-Ightful Holidays Kit

Using MagsGraphics' Best Gift Kit

Pixel Scrapper February Blog Train

It's still pretty cold here in my neck of the woods, but this too shall pass! Time does seem to pass by without us realizing. My son just got his driver's permit, and I'm pretty sure I just picked him up from day care, what, like a year ago?!?

This month's blog train encourages us to enjoy each and every moment we can.

You can find my part on GOOGLE DRIVE.
Stop by Pixel Scrapper to see the rest of the fabulous designers' submissions for this train, and be sure to leave a little love while you are there by going HERE.

I also have a new freebie on my Facebook Fan Page that coordinates with "Enjoy Each Moment."

Be sure to check back this weekend, when the new "A Love For Layout Templates" train goes live! There are some gorgeous templates this month for you to play with!

Don't forget that the Scrap Designers Blog Train leaves on a different date now. Instead of the 1st, it has been moved to the 10th of each month. See you back here then!
