Another Freebie Quick Page!

A few weeks ago I posted this layout that I made using Scraps by Andrea's kit "Better Not Pout," and this layout is one of my all time favorites from my collection.



For the first time, I had requests for it as a quick page. Now I know that Christmas was awhile ago, but I'd be willing to bet that you still have pictures to scrap or that you'll celebrate another one this year! Andrea has given me permission to post this page for you all, so here it is! Make sure to stop over at her blog and see all of her awesome freebies too. I beleive all of her kits are still available, and I know she has an awesome St. Patty's Day Kit "Eirinn Go Brach" and a fun Mardi Gras one "Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez" available right now! Be sure to leave love when you download freebies!

Oooo! Yay! Fun News for me!

I have some really fun news to share with everyone! As you know I have been participating in the Pretty Scrappy Quick Page team challenge this month. I made it to the third week of competition before I was cut. I had a blast playing along, and was proud to have made it as far as I did. I figured that was the end of my journey....however I got a message this morning from Angel over at Pretty Scrappy offering me a position on the Pretty Scrappy Creative Team!!!!

I never, ever expected to become a part of a team working for such a diverse group of designers! I want to thank everyone who supported my entries to the challenge by voting, viewing and downloading - your support helped get me this position!

WooHoo!

Shabby Spring

Steph over at ScrappyCocoa just released another fun freebie kit - Shabby Spring. This kit is fantastic - fun springy colors in a muted tone. I had fun playing with this kit - and the fun add on coming out later this week. (I'll give you a hint - look how I dated my page!) Here is my layout using Shabby Spring (this one's for you Rin!) and a preview of the kit. Click it to be taken to Scrappy Cocoa to download this great kit! And check back later this week for my quick page!

Just Passin' Through

I don't remember if I mentioned this or not, but I am on the CT for Just Passin' Through. Nikki just released a new kit at Pretty Scrappy and Nuts 4 Digi and it's Just Pretty.

I borrowed a co-workers daughter for my subject in these LO's - isn't she a cutie?





This kit is packed full of fun elements, bright colors and fun! What are you waiting for? Go get some Just Pretty for yourself!

Photo Tagging Game

As long as this game has been going around, I'm surprised that i haven't had a chance to play it yet! But today one of my followers Cris tagged me - so here goes.

Here's how it works:
•Go to your photo folder in your computer
•Go to the 6th folder of photos
•Go to the sixth picture
•Put the picture on your blog and a description of it
•Invite six friends to join the challenge
•Link them in your blog and let them know they have been challenged!



Well, I have to explain that I have 3 picture folders - so I just chose the only one with more then 6 folders inside it! Which is my Adam folder. The 6th folder is January 2006, 1/7/06 - this photo. It's Adam enjoying his swing at 4 months old. I love it!

I'm not specifically tagging anyone, I think most people have played already!

Sweet Love!

Did everyone have a great Valentines day? I know I did - I have lots of pictures to prove it! Mike and I went to a late lunch at Olive Garden, bought a Magnum of wine and then went bowling. We ended our night on the couch watching Super Bad. (Hilarious!)

Do you know what would be great to scrap all of my valentines photos with? The new kit Sweet Love by Digi-Designs by Nicole. This kit is adorable! Traditional valentines colors mixed with black to give it a unique twist. A combination of realistic elements and more doodl-y ones make it perfect for anyone!

Check it out:



Don't you just love it! Get the kit here, and check out all of Nicole's great stuff while you're there!

YMCA Charity Collab

Alright, let me fill you in on this great kit and great cause.

Steph, designer of Scrappy Cocoa, spends much of her time volunteering for the YMCA. They are currently running their annual Partners With Youth Fundraiser. It is a yearly fundraiser that raises money to fund all sorts of great programs. These programs include summer camp, family retreats, scholarships for low income families, and homeless youth programs. The homeless youth program is awesome. The Y provides a place for the youth to come to on weekends to shower, get clean clothes and just hang out.

This program is 100% run by volunteers this means that $.95 of every dollar goes straight to the cause. It is an amazing program and it does amazing things for so many people.

Now to the kit. Steph recruited some fantastic designers to help out. The colors are bright and fun, and there is so much you can do with it! Included in the download is a Pledge Form that if you fill out and email back, you will get a thank you note and a tax form. Yes, this donation is 100% tax deductible. You can also choose to mank a donation using the pledge sheet or you can donate on Steph's blop via paypal

No donation is too small. Every dollar makes a difference!!!!

Alright now on to the kit. This cheerful kit has 43 Papers, 94 Elements, Word Art, flower die cuts (by me!) and a full alpha! I'm going to direct you directly to Scrappy Cocoa to see all of the previews and a bunch of LO's by her CT.

Here is my LO (which is avaialable as a QP freebie 2 posts down) and if you CLICK HERE you will be directed to the post Steph made about this amazing cause!

Mossy Skies

Vero over at The Scrapping Tree has done it again, another great kit is available at Ahhh Scraps! It's called Mossy Skies and the colors are beautiful. Vero also threw in some great glass, shadow and glitter styles for you to use to create even more fun things for use with this kit! Click the preview to be taken to her store to get this kit.



Here is my LO with the kit. It's my wonderful husband and I at my birthday dinner!

More LO's

Another bunch of LO's I've completed. Having the day off yesterday allowed me to get a lot done! I didn't have much time over the weekend. Friday we had some birthday celebrations. My boys surprised me with sweet cards and some new headphones then we went to dinner with my in-laws at Perkins. Saturday my kids had a tournament, and as the coach I had to run it...made for a long day but I finished it out with Taco Pizza and beer with my family for my birthday. Sunday I had some downtime in between shopping, cleaning and cooking for our Superbowl party...it was a crazy busy weekend - and I knew it would be, so I took Monday off. Glad I did, I was able to get a lot done! Anyways, here are my LO's and hopefully I will be able to share my exciting news soon!
