I also did a cute little project with the kit. They're snack baggie toppers... a great solution to make little halloween gifts. You can see my online class HERE.

October Mosh Posh Layouts.
Thought I'd share my contribution to the Mosh Posh DT Gallery this month. This kit (Kimono) was BEAUTIFUL but for some reason I was having a major creative block with it. I did have a break through and got these layouts done with only minor hair-pulling and teeth-knashing. Enjoy.

Telling those stories...
To me, scrapbooking is telling the everyday stories that make our lives what they are. It's fun to scrap big events and holidays, but in reality, that's only 3% of our lives. I am excited about Jessica Sprague's FREE online class coming up because she will help us learn how to get better at capturing those life stories in our scrapbooks. ;) I can't wait. Here's the flyer... mark your calendars!

BAM Designs Digital Mini Kit FREEBIE!
So... you all probably thought I'd forgotten my digital scrapbooking, right? Hah! ;) I'm back with a bang! I did take quite a long break because, well, early miserable sick and tired all the time pregnancy and stuff. But I'm feeling more creative energy lately and decided to revisit some papers and elements I started to work on months ago. So, in honor of the fading summer I created this free digital mini kit, "farewell summer". It's completely original designed by yours truly (BAM Designs) and comes with 5 elements and 4 patterned papers. Of course, it's 300 ppi (print quality) so you can print anything and use it for your paper scrapping also.
I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think in the comments. I'd love to hear your feedback since this is my first attempt at a digital kit. Thanks in advance!!!

Here is an example of how the mini kit can be used to create a layout. The stitching and "I Love You" are not included in this freebie (I'm saving those for later). ;)

Updating my gallery!
Busy, busy, busy! I got my September Mosh Posh kit in the mail today! WOW! Have you seen it? Here are some personal sneak peeks and close-ups to give you all something to drool over:
Isn't it YUMMY? I got some of the add-ons, so what you see is the main kit plus a few extras... but it's a ton of product. This kit is loaded with embellishments and fun new things to play with like tulle (!) and crepe paper ribbon. Did you see the acrylic keychain album? How cool is that?
I have lots of energy today!!! I woke up groggy, but as the day has progressed I really am feeling somewhat normal & energized. I feel pretty darn great, minus one little thing. My left wrist is aching... I think it's the pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel that I got when I was preggo with Ben around 5 months. I really hope that since I'm not working (painting everyday, doing stage seta & physical stuff) like I used to that it won't flare up as bad as it did. I'm trying to rest it (well, except for typing this) and I hope it goes away. I think it's related to swelling, and my hands were really swollen when I woke up this morning. Ah, pregnancy! SUCH a blessing!
Anyways, I'm finally updating my scrapbooking gallery on the Two Peas website. The link is over there beneath my photo --------> I had lots of pages to post there. Including my Mosh Posh Design Team layouts. Even though I already posted those to the gallery at Mosh Posh, Two Peas allows me to upload them at a larger size... so you can actually read my journaling and see more details. I'm still in the process of uploading. I'm trying to do 3 or 4 at a time because I don't like to flood the gallery. ;)
Here are a few layouts that I especially loved:

.... um, hi!
Yes, I know I have been very very bad about blogging! Bad bad bad badbadbadbad. I've also been bad about scrapping... so, see? The two are connected.
I'm good about keeping up with my commitments to Mosh Posh. But between finishing my August assignments and now I have done one layout. One. :) I am busy, you know? Things like napping, eating, and getting sick with colds and stuff like that. I can't even blame it on television because that's been slim pickings. Aaron and I did rent the second season of Big Love and watched all of those episodes in the span of a week. But other than that no tv, really. Just a little Olympics here and there. And a dash of Project Runway.
Do you want to know where I've really been? What I've REALLY been doing?
Me too!
It's like my brain is 50% vegetable. Pregnancy brain is to blame and that's not just an excuse. I read (somewhere?) that it's scientifically proven. I think a lot... about what I should be doing. It takes me 30 minutes longer to go grocery shopping! I get "stuck" mentally several times during a visit to the grocery store. One of the stickiest places is the aisle with the pens, batteries, lightbulbs... I just stand there thinking I need something but can't put my finger on it. What I need IS a lightbulb. Above my head, that is.
I am tired, too. The worst case of tired I've ever experienced. Lord help me, isn't the second trimester supposed to bring that much-desired oasis of "energy burst" that all the pregnancy books talk about? That sense of well-being? Hah. I will say, it's great to not be nauseated 24/7 anymore... but why is it that I still can't brush my teeth without gagging? Or clean out the fridge without getting the heebie jeebies? And why is it still a stomach-turning experience to cook dinner, I ask you? (well, that last one might be slightly fabricated, but it works for me) ;)
I'm just glad I'm not sick anymore. I caught my son's cold and between the two of us we killed 3 mega boxes of puffs (nay to Kleenex). The cold kept us home bound for close to two weeks. No playdates or social encounters with friends... but in the thick of it I did slip away with Ben to the bookstore because I needed some reading material. It doesn't count when you get strangers sick... right?
Anyways, I will try my darndest to give this blog some TLC. I do have some layouts to share with you. I also have to update my gallery at Two Peas because I've done a lot since the last time I uploaded there. If you miss me, take a visit to the Mosh Posh message board or blog. I make appearances there often. The September kit is going to be one of the best ever... so if you're looking for a great scrapbooking kit, take a peek!
Later!

Where have I been!?!?
Whew!!! What a month it's been! Sorry I've been so absent. It really has been a heck of a month since I posted.
So, here's the news:
1. I'm pregnant! :) We are so excited... but of course I'm feeling totally sapped of energy and nauseated every day. We did have a little fright several weeks ago and thought I might be having a miscarriage, but all is well now. *phew* ;)
2. I'm a Design Team member! I'm on the Msh Posh design team. It's a real blast and lots of work as expected. I've never been one to sit down and shoot off LO's at a fast pace, so it's been an adjustment for me. I think I'm handling it well with the exception of maintaining the blog.
3. Speaking of the blog, I designed one for Mosh Posh: Mosh Posh Blog. It should be really fun for everyone and all the DT girls will contribute to it. If you subscribe to Mosh Posh, the blog is having a giveaway drawing for July, so go leave a comment!
4. On the above blog, I have a webisode with instructions on how to do an altered frappuccino bottle. You can see me in all of my cheesball glory.
5. Our hot water heater burst on Monday and flooded part of my living room and bathroom downstairs. :( What a pain!!!
6. On Tuesday morning we discovered that my car had been stolen in the middle of the night. With the carseat and stroller inside, of course!!! Double whammy!
7. Lastly, I am working on my design team projects for the July kit. It's so much fun! I tried to upload some new layouts to my gallery on Two Peas today but it was acting up. I'll try again later. I have a ton of digital ones and stuff from the June Mosh Posh gallery.
So... hopefully this month I'll be better at updating the blog! ;) Until then!
