Happy Scrapping

SNEAK Peek for Cold Weather Add On Freebie!

It's Friday and boy am I glad this week is over....Have just been playing around today and got hooked up and in Facebook most of the day...LOL. Isn't it funny how is sucks you in and you can be there for hours and I don't even play the app games!

I have a friend that has her own site now, so I was a post on Facebook about a Brag About It! Challenge and signed up for it. It was a fun, quick thing to do and I had fun with it. Her name is Sarah Ellis of Scrappity Doo Dah. Here is forum thread with the challenge called Brag About It. Here is the page I did. I added the photo of my parents for the preview.

They had so much fun on their visit this past summer in the hot tub! 

Now for a sneak peek of my Cold Weather Add ON.... was going to post it at the beginning of the month, but I decided to post it Monday for you, at least the papers and Tues the Elements. So keep you eyes out!

 

I really like this part of the kit but don't forget to to go here for the first part of the kit, Cold Weather! (Scroll down to post #35).

See you back here on Monday! Have a great weekend!

Good Morning Scrapland!

Well I have a few things to share but not a lot of time so this will be quick! It has been a lazy week so far, I come home from work an pretty much veg in front of the tube! (Not like me, but it is still cold here and just trying to stay warm!)

First off, I have been playing around with With Week two at the Scrap off and I have to admit, these colors are hard for me to work with.  but anyway here is my week two:

Second I have also been surfing around trying out new things and I have tried a new color challenge this month. Hummie’s World has a monthly Designers Challenge which is on going each month. She asks that you go to her forum to collect the freebies from it. Here is my part…I had used it for my Project 52 Weeks of 2010 I posted on facebook group.

You can find this Freebie here and I do have more for you that goes with this but still working on the preview. It is post #35 and you don’t have to be logged, but please read on first as I have a goodie here for you first.

Download “Cold Weather” Here!

 

This is my mom from "Days Gone by" and I got this photo when my sister and I went to visit mom a couple of summers ago. I scanned it in, fixed it some and as I was looking through the photos I had got from the trip tonight, I had to scrap this one.

The photo was take in at her grandmother's porch in Pontiac, MI in 1949. She was 9. I hope you like it mom As I am trying to get an album together so my kids know my family from "Days Gone By"!

I am so proud of her as she is raising 3 little boys, working part time and going back to collage to get her Bachelors' Degree, woo hoo! YOU GO Sweetie. The photo was taken at our family gathering this past Thanksgiving. I so LOVE the photo of her and Javi.(Loucee’s is letting me share this as a Quick page, so there is a goodie at the end of my post.)

Enjoy and Be Back soon!

OK...I am so sorry I didn't get the lowercase alpha trimmed and zipped yet as I was so excited to get a PM from Digiscrap Addict this morning with my first assignment for the 2010 Scrap Off Contest. I had forgot all about it and I download the kit and knew right away what photos I wanted to use. I do have to admit, this is the first time I have tried this with a site I hardly know anyone and not many of the gals that signed up, I didn't know either. But I think it will be worth it just for the fun and meeting new gals too! It is the first day and so many have already posted, so I started playing and got lost in. It is now time for bed so I will get the alpha ready in the morning before I go to work. Do you want to see my creation???

When I saw the sneak peak of what color palette we were going to work with in the forum I knew right way what photos I would use. These little darling chiefs are my nieces. My mom made the girls the chief hats and aprons so my sister could try her hand at taking photos for her Christmas cards this year. I think they turned out so cute!

I also got word that LouCee's Creations has a new release *Love Actually* I will let you see it now, but will post again later in the week with a layout I create. She has released it at 40% Off so hurry on over to her store. It is wonderful.

Ok, Off to bed now and will be back in the morning with your rest of your alpha, sorry! I will also have a sneak peak of my first Freebie kit for the new year....I hope you will like it, turning out nice.

HI Everyone!

Over the next Few days I will try to go back and edit the posts, but time to start clean for the New Year, New Freebies to coming. As I am cleaning up my computer this month, I will be posting new freebies as I find what never made it to my blog or store or never got totally finished. I have found some cute stuff, so keep your eyes out for New goodies.

I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Holiday and tomorrow is the day nobody is looking forward to, well maybe some of you stay at home moms are as the kiddos get on their way to school, but those of us who have to get out into the cold in the morning to leave the house to work, we are not so HAPPY! 

I also wanted to remind you that our Days Gone By Challenge for Dec is still going on until Jan 15. We knew everyone would be busy with the Holidays, shopping, visiting and maybe just relaxing after it was all over, so Linda and I decided to extent the due date so that more of you can play along.

Hi everyone

Just a quick note and your Day 9 goodies. I have been working on paper scrap cards for my girls. So I printed some papers to use in the colors I wanted and Here is what I came up with. What do you think?

 

And here is a few of the Tags I printed and cut out, added some jute strings.

I am really having a lot of fun and keeping my hands and mind busy as I feel, like almost everyone else, sad that I can't or have the money do spend like I have in the past. BUT....oh a positive note, maybe it is a sign to go back the way I use to be, busy MAKING everyone I love something special. No matter how useless it was I so enjoyed making Christmas gift that came from the love in my heart. Some how things just got too busy and I had gotten away from it and those Christmas were always so heart filled and loved.

ok, enough babbling...Here is your Day 9 and I hope that you find it in your heart to make something special and show the little ones in your life the joy of GIVING!

Mikey, Santa, Xander and Baby Javi

Download Day 8 here

Enjoy!

WOW, What a wonderful Day. Grandma's little Angels (you know the ones with horns) and I had a wonderful day, shopping for gift exchange (A new tradition I have started to teach them the GIVING to OTHERS part of Christmas). The boys got girls to buy for so after we got past the Transformers and making them realize girls are not going to really like them, they did great. We spent 2 hours letting them look for girls gifts and had a lot of laughs and they were so proud to stand in line and tell the cashier about what they were doing and paying for it themselves (grab bags came with 10 gift card to spend on their name the draw). Then they were so proud to put the change in the red pail for Salvation Army Bell ringer, telling the guy to have a very Merry Christmas and why they wanted to help other during Christmas that don't have anything. (GRANDMA is VERY PROUD of their little BIG HEARTS)!

Then we had one more stop to make for them doing so well, A VISIT to SANTA! For the month of Dec Cocoa Village has a ICE skating rink step up in the riverside park, and on the weekend SANTA comes to the park to visit so Dusty and I took them, with our own camera and let them talk to Santa. After telling Santa what they would like, Mikey (and then of course Baby Javi followed up too) by asking Santa to not for get the kids that don't have anything so they can get a new toy too! WOW...my lesson of GIVING and THINKING of others really touch Mikey's heart. Baby JAVI is our kind and soft hearted one, so of course after hearing Mikey he did the same thing. TIMELESS memories for GRANDMA today! (IF they could only stay this age forever!)

OK...Grandma is tired out from my 12 hour day with my 3 little guys...which ended up with a new Christmas movie (new to them) The Grinch with Jim Carey. (PICs will be posted tomorrow)

Here is your Day 7 of 12 days Before Christmas....Enjoy

Download Day 7 HERE

Well, it is now Friday and I finally got my house cleaned. So I can play most of the rest of the weekend. I wanted to share another new hair do...for whose of you that was the first hair cut last week on facebook, you will understand why I am saying ANOTHER. I didn't like the first cut as it was nothing like I asked her to do, but I thought maybe it was my thick head of hair and I would give it a couple of washing myself and try to style it myself...everything just kept falling to my face..........so I found a couple more of the pics of the hair style and told her to go shorter and try again. Well I am finding out that she is great with coloring, trims or long hair styles but not so good with newer hair styles that are not straight and even. First I will show you what I wanted. (Twilight fav will know who she is) 

Just a couple of things wrong here....top is still to long and she cut too much from the neck and I cut the small feather bangs as she said "No bangs". So I guess I will let it grow some and find a new stylist. So enough about this...LOL. Good thing my hair grows really fast. 

First I would like to share a new Personal Use product Charlie's Digiscrap has in her store:

Next someone had stopped by my blog and asked me if I had printed my card I made on the inside so I thought I would post a pic of what I printed on the inside....it was a freebie word art but for the life of me I can't find the folder so that I can give the gal credit....I am so sorry. But will come edit this when I do find it. It is so cute...I believe she is from Ginger Snap, but as I said I will look it up and edit this.

Now I also want to show you a layout I did last night with the kit Summer Driggs did for a special friend of hers...Here is the post that I got the kit from and wanted you to please read it and please find  it in your heart to maybe donate a couple of dollars in return for the kit Summer made as a freebie for her called "Believe" . Thank you Summer you did a great job with the kit snd what a wonderful thing to do for your friend.

here is the kit:

Here is the layout I did with it as well as the candy wraps and Christmas card.

Ok I am off here for the night...so much cleaning, I am tired. But it is done and I can sit back and enjoy it for the next few days. But here is Day 6

Download Day 6 Here

Well, today is my FRIDAY, WOO HOO! And it is really time to get my bunns in gear to finish up some digital Christmas Cards and gifts. So the next few days posts will be quick but when I can I will share what I am doing with you! I do have a couple of things I have been working on to show you.

First, I did get my side bar updated with our Days Gone By Posting Bonus....we have had a couple of people post already, which I really enjoy seeing your Christmas Past Layout! Remember that you are going to have a longer time this month to post, as we have extended it until Jan 15th 2010. I also added the daily links for my 12 days before Christmas links there as I will add each day there as well. That way I don't have to add all links each day here. 


Second, I want to let you know that any of my live links for any of my freebies will be removed December 31, 2009! So if you have missed anything in the last little while you will still be able to download if you have the time to go through my posts to find them. As I am uploading the 12 days before Christmas I noticed I still have alot of links still there...wont clean out until then...OK?


Next I want to share a Quick pages I did for my sister. She had the cutest idea for pictures to make her Christmas Card and I used one of the pic she sent me... Aren't they the cutest little bakers!

And I made this CD Insert and label for my good intentions of burning a DVD of all the layouts and special photos of our family gathering during 2009! I hope I get them done....biggest part of the project is going through all the photos we have taken this year....WOW I did realize how many I, alone, had taken. It is going to be a job! (this is what I will be working this next few days.) Wish me luck! Hopefully I will be more organized next year...LOL!

Credits for both of these are my Christmas Past Posting Bonus kit and 12 days of Christmas!
