Well United States has had some really bad weather this winter. It seems much colder than winters in the past, or maybe I am just getting older and I can’t handle them anymore, but I can’t move much farther south. I already live in Florida and it is the place all the snowbirds travel to get out of the cold. But every other day it has been down in the 30’s and cold northern wind…usually we get about one week of it a year but this has been going on since December. I know, most of you all live up in much colder weather, but it is cold for us! Anyway my point is that I have been nursing a cold that started as a sore throat, then thinking I am better, started in my chest and cough for 2 or 3 weeks and NOW it’s in my head/sinuses. Sorry for venting but I am “SICK of being SICK”. Besides the computer problems I have had over the month of January. (sorry of venting and carrying one).

PJ Scrappin Weekend

I wanted to share what I did all weekend before I call it time to give it a break and do some laundry and maybe even get dressed. Yes, that is right I haven’t got dress from my jammie all weekend. It started by a speed crop I attended at Hummie’s World. They were having a PJ Party and the addiction kicked in and well I am still sitting here, a couple of break to eat and sleep, but I have been scrapping since then.

I stared by this one…the speed crop hosted by Hummie self…..

Then I scrolled through her forum and found another couple of challenges to play with one of the I already posted as I had to get caught up with my Creative team work after losing all the time with my down computer but I will post it again.

Then I wanted to work on the pictures I got off my daughter’s computer of the Opening Night of New Moon so I got out my Twilight Bundle I had bought from Flerg over at Studio Girls and I did this one. My daughter Dusty saw it on Facebook and commnet something about me being sandwiched between to vampires…I reminded her that I was Wolf Girl long before the Twilight Series so she better remember WHO’S land she was on!!! ….LOL.

And I just finished this “Island Retreat” layout for a friend from some pics she had posted on Facebook….Enjoy Miss Laura and Sister Pruny.

So I also posted the last part of the Freebie I was giving away to my facebook group, Project 52 Weeks of 2010. You can find the Freebies on the group blog. But Look what I found as I was posting this… my friend Kathy did with the freebie kit I had been post for the group…AWESOME job Kathy and Happy Birthday to your Grandma.

 

and the posted to the group blog…. I think my creative juices are just about gone for the weekend. Well, not really but my arm is aching so I guess I need to get away from the computer for the night. Enjoy the Super Bowl (those who watch) and See you in a few day with FEBRUARY’s “Day Gone By”.

All good things must come to an end…Happy SCRAPPIN!

Good morning and I hope you are all ready to some awesome new kit that the gals I create for has New in their stores, on sale just in time for SUPER BOWL Sunday. Well, it is not really a Super Bowl Sale or anything, I just thought you may be having some extra time today to cyber shop with most men being tied up getting ready for the BIG game today. So grab you favorite beverage as I have a lot to share with you.

First I will start with a couple of CU products Charlie’s Scraps has in her stores at DSO and DSV. But have some news that is kind of sad, but good sales for you! I have been creating for Charlie’s Digiscrap for over a year now and I often wonder how she does it, two stores (which she advertises everywhere it seems), photographic business, family which includes a little one. SIMPLY an AMAZING woman. Her Photographic business has really taken off, so something had to go so she will be closing her Store at DSO and is not going to be designing personal use kits. She has a great sale going on in her store at DSO…..

She will still have her store and design commercial use product at DSV and her is her part of the Feb Grab Bag she has… for $9.00 which makes it only $1.00 per items in the bag…what a great deal.
 

  This is Charlie part of the kit, aren’t they so cute!

She also has her Charming #1 in the store from last months GB…on sale for 50% off.

OK…Now it is LouCee’s Creations new personal use Products along with her new CU products as well.. She has two new personal use kits that were so fun to play with. Here the first on which was a collab she did with the girls at DSO called Forever & After: A Love Story

Her part is 

and the layout I did with it is 

Next is one called China Blue, Beautiful job LouCee…..

and my layout for this one is of my granddaughter, Brittany who loves taking pictures mainly of herself. Something she does when she is bored.  I also did this for a scraplift challenge over at Hummie’s World PJ Party she had yesterday. Thanks Margaret for the wonderful inspiration.

You can find LouCee’s China Blue in her store on sale. And her part of the Collab is Forever & After here. 

Here is Loucee's New Commerical Use Products she just added to her store

I will be back later with more about my day of “Scrappin in my PJ’s with Hummie’s World! Enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday (here in the states) and everyone else I hope you have an AWESOME day too!

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!

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 Here

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!

My layout in the Gallery at DSA!

Now on to some pimping, I wanted to show you what Charlie has new in January Designers Grab Bag Collab.

Here is a sneak Peak at what they have to offer. As soon as I get the ok, I will post Charlie's Part of this! As always you are going to love it. There are 8 CU designs in the bag making it only a $1.00 per item! And with there great QC team, you wont be disappointed.

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.


Happy Scrapping! and Sweet Dreams

HI Everyone! 

I wanted to stop by and let everyone know that I have cleaned out my 4share account. All freebies from last year are removed. 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. Forum and Gallery links are above under my header and the Posting Bonus is in the side panel of my blog.
