The Party Starts in June!

Digiridoo Scraps is celebrating their 2nd birthday in June and the entire team has been working (very) hard on all kinds of fun stuff.

We'll be posting details of all the events in our forum very soon, but here are some of the things we'll have going on to whet your appetite...

- Bingo!
- Scavenger Hunt
- Pass the Parcel Game
- Speed Scraps
- Blog Hop
- A Free with Purchase grab bag
... and more!

We'll also be launching our new welcome kit in June, free and exclusive to our Facebook fans. Come on over and become a fan because you don't want to miss this!

In addition to the birthday events, we will of course have our monthly challenges: Art Journal, Template, Inspiration ... just to name a few. There are plenty more and there's something that will please everyone.

... and what would a birthday celebration be without some bargains to be had in our store so be on the lookout for a sale. And, we've got some other surprises for you too, but they're secret because they wouldn't be a surprise if I told you now...right!

Stop by and celebrate with us! We're a friendly bunch and you'll be made to feel welcome!

iBand @ Frisco School of Music

This is from an advanced group of students at the school where Emily and Mia take piano lessons...



Guess this is the future of music! Pretty cool, but call me old fashioned, I prefer the real instruments!

The girls will be playing a real piano for their performances this Saturday. Hopefully, we will get a decent video!

Spend the Summer with Jesus

I can't think of a better way to spend my summer than strengthening my relationship with Jesus. Our church is doing things a little differently this summer and as a result, our Women's Bible Study will not be meeting for the summer. We could not imagine not studying the Word together for three whole months. So, the Women's Online Study was born!

We are studying and reflecting using Beth Moore's devotional book, Jesus: 90 Days with the One and Only independently, but also coming together online to discuss our journey.

If you would like to join us, please send an email to me at kprahl@me.com. We "officially" started today (May 25th), but please don't hesitate to jump in any time. Visit our blog for more information about participating: St. Philip's Women's Ministry.

FREE Kit from Color with Caryn!

My friend, Caryn will give you one of her fabulous kits for FREE when you make a donation in any amount to Team Ellie. Caryn's friend's daughter, Ellie has Cystic Fibrosis and Caryn is walking in Great Strides this weekend to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Make a donation in any amount HERE, send your receipt to Caryn and she'll send you a coupon for the kit of your choice.

Support a wonderful organization raising funds to research this disease that affects more than 30,000 children and adults in the US (70,000 worldwide).

Lots o' Layouts

This is one of my more recent pages even though the photos are from last November. I used the Digiridoo Scraps May Team Collab, ROBOTICA. It's a really cool kit and you don't need to use it only for robot themed layouts. Check out what some of our other Creative Team members did with the mega kit HERE! You can get the whole kit for FREE with a $5 purchase in the Digiridoo Shop. Scroll down to check out some pages that I made with several new kits in the shop. Enjoy!

Fantabulous Find Friday: Hand me the glue gun, please

Once again, I found a fantabulous website after clicking here and there and ending up here...

V and Co. Oh my goodness! I am in crafty love!

Check out this super cute fabric ring...Vanessa has directions to make it here and if you don't want to go out to purchase the pieces you need to make it, you can order a kit from her here.
I haven't made one yet, but I hope to have time (today, maybe) to run into the fabric store to see what I can find in the remnant basket.

Vanessa has a load of other tutorials on her site as well as a store of fabulous goodies!

Go on over and visit for a bit...but, be warned that you might want to have a snack and a drink close at hand because you're going to be there for awhile!

Enjoy! And, Happy {Inter}national Scrappingbooking Day! Check out Digiridoo for several iNSD and store opening sales going on...you can find the sale announcements in the forum here! Lots and lots of fantabulous goodies there too!

Fantabulous Find Friday: Amazing Goodies

Happy Friday! I had a FFF post all ready to go, but after taking a look at the new products in two stores opening today in the Digiridoo Scraps Shop, I made a change!

We have welcomed LouCee Creations back (missed you, girl!) and a new designer, Di of Legacy4Life to our Digiridoo family.

Take a peek at their newest kits...And, be sure to click on the links to check out more in their stores! And, both ladies are having a SALE!

LouCee Creations

It appears that Loucee has been bitten by the Royal Wedding bug!

Legacy4Life

Happy Easter!

I don't have a fantabulous find for you today because...well, Friday just snuck up on me! I've been super busy with Easter preparations, volunteer stuff, lunching with the ladies, etc., etc., etc. You know how it is!

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Fantabulous Find Friday: Fast Delish Dinner

I am always on the lookout for fast, easy and yummy meals for my family. I came across this recipe for Buffalo Chicken Sandwhiches in the March issue of Real Simple and gave it a try...it is now a family favorite! You can easily adjust the spicy factor to your family's taste and you don't need as much butter as it calls for in the recipe.

Doesn't it look soooo delicious? It is!

After you grab this recipe, poke around the Real Simple recipe site for more awesome meals. I love that you can find fancy schmancy gourmet recipes (not that I ever make those) as well as quick and delicious meals for those nights when the kids have after school activities and dinner has to happen fast.

Enjoy!

Note that I am not compensated in any way for my opinions. I just like to find fantabulousness and share it with you!

New Kits...New Pages

Once again the Digiridoo Designers are rolling out one fabulous load of goodies after another! First, the April 2011 Collaborative Kit from the Digiridoo Designers, Time for Tea...you can have it for FREE with a $5 purchase in the shop through April 30. Check out the 79 papers, 101 elements and 2 uppercase alphas:

Studio 4 Designworks just released Daddy's Little Girl and I am just in love with everything about this kit!

My layouts with Daddy's Little Girl...

I created the Blink of an Eye layout for Digi Dare #223 and I also used a ruler from Making the Grade by Snippets Inc. and a watch from About Time by the Digiridoo Designers

Vicki (Dana's Footprint Designs) just came out with her newest kit, Bits of Yesterday and it's full of fabulous vintage goodies, but I really think that it can be used for current photos too. I need to find a bit of time to whip up another layout with this one!

I used photos that my mom had of a picnic at a neighbor's home during the summer of 1954. I just love that they brought the dining room table and chairs out to the lawn for the picnic! And, we think that a few folks are watching a softball game in the photo on the right. Last, but certainly not least, I created this layout for the Digiridoo April Color Challenge with Spring Cameo by Sarah Barber Design; some elements were recolored or modified to meet the challenge requirements; Font: MTF Cutie Patootie

Finally, check out this month's Digiri-Challenges HERE and the selection of fabulous prizes that you'll receive just for participating. I'm hosting the Font Challenge this month with two very different fonts!!

Up next...Fantabulous Find Friday!

Fantabulous Find Friday: ABC Scripture Challenge

You never know when you're going to click on a link in someone's siggie and find something fabulous. I did a random link click last week and found myself at Triple the Scraps blog and Patter's ABC Scripture Challenge. An ABC book of scripture...FANTABULOUS!

I've had this desire to do more Bible study on my own (no offense to Beth Moore and the many fabulous Bible teachers out there) and I've also been looking around at Faith Journals. Ohmygoodness! God has blessed me with this ABC Scripture Challenge at the exact right time!

In a nutshell, Patter gives a new word every other Sunday and then, participants study their Bible to find scripture that is meaningful to them based on the given word. You can find more details by clicking on the link above.

Although the challenge began in January, I plan to work on at least two words per week until I get caught up. You can find the previous study links here.

Here is what I've done for A, B and C...I get the feeling that I'm going to be caught up very soon!
