a Brand New Freebie!!

Sassy word art, eh? I love it!! This is my Week 2 submission for the NDIDDS contest at Designs in Digital. The theme was Girlfriends, and since I adore the color purple, I had to use lots of it! And a bit of pink for the girls-lol! To snag this kit, follow this link: link expired. sorry!

Life while participating in this contest has become quite frantic! It probably would be ok if the rest of life didn't sort of crash down...things like going to the dentist for a crown, driving around the state for job interviews, Mother's Day, Birthdays, Doctor Appointments, Wedding Showers, and work. Ah, well, When it rains, It Pours, I guess. But, I love this contest! I am learning so much and having such a fun time with the ladies at Designs in Digital that it is worth it! The next part of the contest is to create a kit choosing one of two color schemes. The theme is up to us. Hmm, my thinking cap is on, but the it seems to be malfunctioning at the moment. But I do know this...Make sure to come back next week for another Free Digital Scrapbooking kit!! Until then, keep your face to the sun!

Hello again!
Just wanted to let you know that tomorrow is the last day to get my kit, Spring Delights for the awesome amount of FREE! lol! Just click here.
Be sure to check here on Friday for a new Free Digital Scrapbook Kit! This one will be wonderful for photos of the girls!! See you then!

Blog Train-toot toot!!
Digi Town Square is having its first Blog Train, and I am proud to be a part of it!
Digi Town Square opened it's doors on the 1st May 2009 as a place where designers from all sites and scrappers of all styles could come together to share their love of scrap, discuss new trends and advertise their latest and greatest - be it a kit or a layout.

In the spirit of sharing a bunch of members from many different sites have come together to bring you the All Together Blog Train and you should have arrived here from Helly's blog.
Here's my little portion:
Oops, sorry the train has ridden right on by. Keep checking back for more freebies, though!
Enjoy the Train Ride, and be sure to leave some love.
Also, for another free kit, keep reading:

Hi and here is another freebie for you--available for one week (oops-sorry this is no longer available.) There are 8 papers, that beautiful scrolled border, a gorgeous acrylic blossom frame, some word art, flowers, all sorts of great elements for your springtime photos. Enjoy, and remember to snag it while it is available!
This kit is the official week 1 kit of the NDIDDS hosted at Designs in Digital.

Whoo Hooo!! That, right up there, is my warm-up exercise for the NDIDDS at Designs in Digital!! I still need to figure out a few things, but what I do know is the kit is FREE for the next 7 days!! (this is no longer available :( ), and make sure you check back often because there will be links for free kits for a while!!
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a fuss-budget. That means that every item in this kit is created digitally from scratch, with no extracting or CU products. I love tiny detail work, and this is right up my alley! I sure hope you enjoy this kit.

Another Bit of Big News is that I am hosting the Word Art Challenge at Digi Town Square! Beginning on the first of May, I will offer 2 challenges per month. Read about them here.

Oh, and keep checking in because I have lots more fun stuff coming up--freebies, news, and who knows what else!

Until Next time-

Today I have the day off from work, so I'm working on a bunch of Digi-Scrapping commitments.
One of those is the Gotta Orchard progressive scrap, where you are given a couple of rules, and once you commit them to your layout, you can't change them when the next set of rules come out the following week. The challenge is over now, but it was a lot of fun, and of course I scrapped my most favorite subject, Isabella--here is my layout:
Yesterday was an interesting day! I had to teach a class at JoAnn Fabric on making a strip pieced pillow, and due to my previous week screw up, I knew I was only going to have one student. Half an hour into the class, here come 2 ladies for an applique class. Oh dear, the education person at the store told me that she was cancelling the class, but never bothered to officially cancel it, so I ended up teaching 2 entirely different classes at the same time! Of course, since I didn't know I was teaching the applique class, I was completely unprepared. It was super interesting, because the first student was not a quilter, and needed a lot of supervision. But all 3 of the women were gracious about the mix-up, and somehow I managed to teach both topics. Not as thoroughly as I would have liked, but I think it went ok. Once I got home, though, the wine box was tapped!

Ugh

Once again, Time has just whizzed right on by me. That's because I'm so into digital scrapbooking now, and my life is pretty much wrapped around it. I'm on two creative teams, and I'm involved in several websites. I've also signed up for 2 different designer activities, but they don't start until May 1st.

So, what is going on? I've been creating some fun templates and word art. Now I just have to figure out how the heck to use one of the file sharing programs to make them available for downloading. And I'd sure as heck better figure it out quickly, because I hear tell a rumor of a blog train coming through, and this will be one of the stops!

I promise to be much better with the blogging. If only I didn't have to work...it does tend to get in the way of life, doesn't it?

But for right now, here is a layout that I made with a new kit by Fairytale Studios, available at Digital Candy, called The Way I Are.

This kit is so cool because it isn't a kit that you immediately look for baby photos to scrap with.
This layout, by the way, is of my daughter, Bronwyn and her hubby, Al, and their 2 dogs, Barney and Loki.
And now, for a totally different type of layout with the same kit, here is one of the gal I work with:
I love this page because it is both fun and sophisticated...
Well, that is it for now, but I WILL be back withing a day or two to keep updating.
Until then, keep taking pictures!
