Be Mine Elements

I'm ready to share the elements. I have some word art I'll share in a few days. Then I'll be back to posting templates until I get inspired to do another kit.



Links Expired
Don't forget to leave some love it you grab them. I'd love to see your layouts using Be Mine.

LO w/ Be Mine

I'll post the elements tomorrow night. I also worked this LO into a template for anyone who wants it. It'll be posted one day soon, too.

Now I'm off to bed. I am getting some sleep tonight!

New LO and Be Mine is ready

I got to play with a new little thing that Chanin is working on over at Snowflake Beach Designs. Its called Noel's Color Me Sweet. As I was looking through the contents of the kit this photo kept popping to the front of my mind so I had to use it. I really loved working with it.

I HAD to have a title that worked with the rest of the LO so I headed over to Atomic Cupcake. and downloaded their Crayon Drawing action. They are having a big sale that ends on the 31st. I'm still trying to decide which 20 I need to add to my actions collection :P

Now to my new kit Be Mine. I worked hard on this all day. Well at least while Kayleigh was napping today and well past 1:30 this morning. Its finally done and I'm am so thrilled with how it turned out.

I've decided I'll be giving this out in pieces. Papers today, elements tomorrow, and I've got some word art, too.

Progress and a freebie

I've worked on "Be Mine" as I could today. I haven't gotten too much done as both kiddos were home today. Jake started speech therapy this morning. Kayleigh wants to do puzzles about 110% of the time these days and requires help even though she can do them with her eyes shut :P It was also a crummy, cold, wet day. So we were all stuck inside. I also turned 36 today and I feel so old. I really need to get to bed earlier than 1:30 more often.

So I did a couple of elements here and there, but am still trying to figure out what I want in the set.

I've also been chosen as this week's digiscrap challenge hostess this week. I can't wait to see everyone's LO's. I decided this week we'd do a numbers challenge. I've requested that everyone use the following:

4 papers
3 fasteners
2 photos
1 word title

I've got that to work on. In addition to playing with another of Snowflake Beach Designs beautiful kits. I love the colors in this one.



You should head on over to Chanin's blog and grab the freebie alpha she has up. It matches the Cora's Best Friend kit.

I hope to do have a page done with the Ashlyn's Love page kit tomorrow.

Here is today's freebie.



you can grab it here I'd love to see your layouts using the templates. Please leave me a comment when you download.

Come back tomorrow. I think I'll have some Valentine's word art to share.

Sneek Peek

Here is a quick peek into what I'm working on for Valentines. I got my papers done last night and I'm so happy with how the kit is coming together. When I worked on Queen for a Day I started with Elements and it grew from there. This time I started with the papers and I I'll get the elements out in the next couple of days. I'm hoping to have everything ready to share by the end of the week.



Check back tomorrow and I might have the papers ready for download.

ETA: Looking at it now I see that the white on the red damask needs some work. I'll have to fix that tonight. Whites are so hard! :P

Tuesday's Template

I've made good progress on my Valentine's kit. I hope I can post a preview tomorrow or the next day. I also have some word art I'll be sharing soon.

Here is the freebie for today. I hope you enjoy the template. I'd love to see your layouts if you use it and comments are appreciated.

QP freebie to start the week

I had a pretty busy weekend. I managed to layout a couple of templates, worked on some pages, and started working on what I hope to be a Valentine's Kit. I have one of my Queen for a Day LO's into a QP to share.

I'll have a new template to share tomorrow.

More Cora's Best Friend

I just love this kit. I had to do another LO with it. If you haven't already, go get a copy at godigitalscrapbooking.com I believe its on sale, too.

I am starting to scrap Kayleigh's baby book. I have only done random things, but am planning to start doing 1 or 2 pages of each month of her first year.. This is part of her 3 month LO.

New Template

I didn't get too much done today. I over did it over the past few even though I have been suffering from a migraine the entire time. I've been putting some templates together. Here is a one I'd like to share.



I hope to have a LO done with it before I go to bed tonight.

Another LO and a couple freebies.

I did another LO with the Cora's Best Friend today. I had this great picture of Jake. It is really hard to get a good smiley photo of him. He is either got a very serious expression or is acting goofy or moving around too much.

I altered 1 brad from the kit by adding glitter (flergs).

You can swing by Chanin's Blog and grab some sweet quick page freebies by my CT buddies and Charmaine and Belinda You should drop by their blogs, too, and leave them some love for those awesome QP's.


I love the way my Word Art title came out. I thought I'd put it up here
and share.

Comments are greatly appreciated.

Another freebie template to come.

And now for the exciting news...

I finally took the leap and applied to be on a creative team. I've been thinking about it and the other night I stopped by the Creative Busy Hands Digital Freebies Blog and sitting next to my add-on to Queen for a Day was this cute little pink and green freebie. I clicked on that link and the next thing I know I'm on the Snowflake Beach Designs CT.

Today I got a chance to use this adorable kit called Cora's Best Friend

I've been a busy momma today, but I've got an idea for a template in my head. I'm going to go attempt to put it together and maybe I'll have another template to share tomorrow.

This week's challenge layout and a template

This week's challenge host requested that we use my Queen for a Day kit. This was the first time I've seen my work used by others. Its exciting to see how everyone uses the kit. Here is my new LO using Queen for a Day:




I also have this template to share. I think I got the files right this time.

Template oops

In my haste I uploaded an incomplete template last night. The correct version is coming shortly. I apologize for the error. I'll have another new template ready, too.

I'll double check my files next time.


Here we go again...

The next challenge requires the use of my Queen for a Day kit. I can't wait to see what everyone does. Now I just have to figure out what I want to do :P

I have exciting news, but I'll post about that later ;)

A couple new things

The add-on contains:
3 glitter edges
2 Diamond patterned papers
1 regal birdy
1 ribbon wrap
1 tattered paper frame
1 silver circle frame
1 silver medallion
1 stitches




Grab the add-on here


Alpha contains individual .png files for upper, lower, and numbers. Some characters included also.

New Layout and a Template

LO I did using the Queen for a Day freebie:



This is the template I started working on a few weeks ago. I decided to use it today.



You can grab it here.

Another week another LO

One of these days I'll manage to be more active here and post more than just a single layout. This one I did to enter in a couple different online challenges. One required you to make your own word art and the other had a theme of "ties that bind" and the use of Photoshop actions.

I love this kit from NewLifeDreams Designs. Its called All Things Grow with Love. I see myself using it again.



All things grow with love Page kit by NewlifeDreamsdesigns at ShabbyPickleDesigns.com, Stitches by Syrin from Primavera Collab kit catscrap.com, Flerg's Glitter, Fonts: Pea Super Amy, 1942 Report, Underwood Champion Actions used: AC Grunge Ink, Wild Tear, Foam Text

Quote used in word art:
"The tie which links mother and child is of such pure and immaculate strength as to be never violated." - Washington Irving

You can snag the word art here if you want. It was made to fill the bracket mat so its a little big.
