The Chronicles of Nani On Video

I am overcoming my inability to type with my ability to talk (and talk and talk and talk) I'll be posting a video every week on my YouTube channel. I'll be posting those videos here too along with an occasional regular blog in the mix. (As long as my hands are up to doing the extra typing.)

You'll be able to watch the videos here, but I encourage you to stop by my channel at YouTube once I'm up and running to follow me and get my numbers started!

Scrap Stuff and a Freebie!

Are you getting geared up for National Scrapbook Day? I’m doing as much as I can ahead of time since, as usual, I won’t be in town on NSD weekend. I always end up someplace else. NSD this year is May 2, the four year anniversary of our first date and the weekend of the convention where we first met in person. I love my occasional scrapping days, but for that weekend, there is really no place else I’d rather be than with David Scrapbook holiday or not!

The April Collab kit, Flowers Blooming, is in the store at Scrap Bird!


It’s amazing how so many talented designers with such a variety of designing styles can work with a common theme and palette and come up with a huge kit that works so well together, yet still reflects all of our individual styles. I credit Marzena with just knowing what to do to bring the best out of us as a team!

Part 1 of this terrific mega kit is in the store now for %25 off with a great sampler available for free on the Scrap Bird Blog!


Make a point of bookmarking our blog! There will be more great freebies to come! :)


New from Darlene!

I’ve been on Darlene's CT for a year now and I’m a designer too, but she still blows me away with her designs. I’d say for every three pages in my personal books, there is one done with a Darlene Haughin kit.

I just did a couple of layouts with her newest kit, One Spring Morning.




Here’s one of my layouts:

This is from spring of 2006, when Kaline was less than a year old and about half the size she is now!

Darlene’s mini kit, Mysteria is on sale at her stores this month.


That’s next on my scrapping list. I told Darlene she was enabling my green and purple addiction. But come on, green-purple and blue in various combinations are just so Nani! With the exception of cars, I could live if those were the only colors in the world.

After I finish up the pages in my priority folder, I’m going to work with the newest kit in Darlene’s store, Chocolate Bunny!


I bet you can guess one photo that is perfect for this kit! (Think Photoblog this week!)

If you came here looking for a freebie, you’re sorta at the right place! I’m here to tell you about the freebie rather than give it today!

First, check out this page done by my CT member, Fenny:

I just love the way she used the flower and ribbons in the kit with the gemmed frame! We traded a few emails and I coaxed her into trying to do it as a quick page and voila!


You can have a great quick page for making a quick and gorgeous page and also some inspiration for the many things you can do with Laura!

Click the preview to stop by Fenny’s blog and get this beautiful quick page. When you’re there be sure to leave her some love and check out all of the sweet layouts she’s done of her family with my kits and other great designers’ kits too!
