Sweet Shoppe Designs – The Sweetest Digital Scrapbooking Site on the Web

Im so excited to be doing the Spin-a-Lift challenge this week! Its actually my first so Im hoping I get it right!

I chose my LO for this weeks challenge from a member of Christy Lyles Creative Team – I was checking out the LOs in each of their galleries and came across one that I just adored (well I actually came across many I adored but I had my photos in mind and was particularly interested in a 4 photo LO. That definitely limited my options! Strolling through Dia Barnas gorgeous gallery I came across this fun LO called Donut Eating Kid and I just knew it was the one! Take a look:

I love the variety of elements Dia chose and how she clustered them around her group of frames. I was drawn by the linked frames and really wanted to give this a go! Dia used a whole range of elements from Eve Recinella’s Digital Extras. The linked frames were made by Toni Berman of Toni Berman Designs. I spun Dia’s LO 90 degrees clockwise and went to work with Wish and Wonder (This weekends special gift with purchase). Oh – Ill whack in a preview for you all!

Arent these colours the happiest? Since I love a little irony in my life I chose to use these fun colours to scrap a series of photos of my eldest DD giving me some attitude. I remember dishing similar ones out to my mother when I was a kid. I was quite sure that I would avoid them with my own kids since we have so many resources on raising happy and positive kids and was never going to mother like my mother – yeah right! Take a look at these ‘looks could kill’ faces:

Isnt she adorable!??!?! She has definitely perfected the ‘furrowed brow’! For a list of everything I used in my LO you can click here!

Ok, so now that you’ve seen it all go take a stroll through Dia’s Gallery at DigiShoppeTalk. Just follow this LINK. Pick out something that knocks your socks off and take it for a spin! Post those links to your layouts and upload them to the spin-a-lift challenge gallery to have it count towards your sweet rewards.

*** Editted to advise that the Sweet Shoppe Sale ended on Saturday but you can still pickup Wish and Wonder as a gift  with your $10.00 purchase today! Thanks to Tana for pointing this out and Im so sorry for the confusion! *****
