Holy Moly, Doozie of a post, including a freebie!

I guess that's what happens when you don't post for a while!  But I have a freebie for ya if you get through it all, LOTS of great info here!

Let's start with Mandy Mystiques...did you know she has a new blog?  Oh, yes and it's so pretty!  AND she has a newsletter now...so go run over there, check it out and sign up for the newsletter.  She's going to have exclusive Newsletter Subscriber freebies, so don't miss out on that!  And speaking of freebies...she has a new collab kit out with Jennifer Barrette and Mandy has a freebie addon to the kit.  So, when you go to the blog, don't miss that either.  Here's the new kit, it's called Sunshine and Rainbows, isn't it just the fresh breath of Spring we all need right now?

And here's what I did with it:

And last but not least, Mandy is having a CT call right now, so if you love this and her other awesome designs, apply to be on the team...it's a great one to be part of!

And in other news...Franziska Altmann has an awesome new kit out at Scrapbook Graphics.  Isn't it just gorgeous...as are all her designs!  You can buy it here.

Here's what I did with it, it was so easy to be inspired!

And...look what's coming soon.... a new collab...Impressions of Delight coming to Scrapbookgraphics on February 1st...ooooh, it's so pretty!  here's Franziska's portion and I will be back with my LO from this yummy collab!

And from pamela Donnis...we're all feeling a little Springy and Valentinesy!  She has several new kits out and a sale!  Let's start with the goods....

And I did this, so easy to work with, I am tired of being cold!  LOL

Oh, and the sale....Pamela announced that she will be leaving Elemental Scraps at the end of January and so she is having a moving sale.  See her thread announcement here.  And here is her sale flyer.  Click it to go to her shop at ES for the sale.

And lastly tonight...if you've made it this far...a template freebie.  It was inspired by this LO I did with Franziska's Snowberry kit.

Just click template image to download.  In case there is a password (I never know with 4shared) it is inspiration.  Please no sharing links or files, just send friends here to read all my exciting stuff and download their own template for free.  And hey, why not leave me a little note or thank you while you're here?

~Happy Winter Freebie~

Hi again!  I am feeling wintery today...the weather is rainy and it's a quiet Monday...I have a wintery layout to share...I really like the way this turned out.  I used Mandy Mystiques' adorable mini-kit Snowman Kisses at Elemental Scraps.

In the spirit of winter, I also decided to share a template!  Use it for a winter layout or whatever you want.  If you scrap a page with it, email me the link so I can see, that's always fun!  Have fun and Happy Winter!

Enjoy and Happy Monday!

A FUNNY video and a freebie!

Ok, this has nothing to do with scrapbooking, but it is so freakin' funny I had to share!  A family member sent it to me on email.  It is a Baby Shower Game video, but it is NOT guess the baby food or guess the belly size...you'll just have to play it to see for yourself!

Go here to laugh hysterically!

I also made ANOTHER card...here it is...

And here is a little weekend gift for you...just because!  Happy Friday!  Image is linked.

Have a great weekend!

Layouts, announcements and a freebie!

Well, I have been busy catching up this week and have done a few layouts...

Here's one with Franziska and Flergs new collab kit Sugar Rush...I just LOVE this kit, soooooo cute, look at that little dude in there!  And, did you know Franziska is at Scrapbook Graphics now?  Yep, that's right!  Check out her new store!

I also did this layout with Polka Dot Plums' new kit Ashlea Brooke...again my favorite kind of colors, bright and happy, which, of course, led to this:

And, I did this LO with Mimi's very pretty kit Amanda...I love purple, my favorite color, and I love it combined with these blues and browns! Even though I didn't use the purple in this LO, I will on another one! Color is definitely the first thing I look at in a kit, if I love the colors, I will want to buy it!

Sunshine Wonder Week is Coming (and a freebie)!

OK--so I haven't been the best blogger lately, but I made up for it today with a whopping three posts!  So read this one and then read on!

I am writing now to tell you that the September edition of Sunshine Wonder Week is starting this Sunday and has all the usual fun, games, challenges and prizes!  So, be sure to start checking the forums this weekend for all the details.  It will run all week until next Sunday, October 5th.  It is really a blast and has lots of cool activities.  This month we are featuring two kits...the regular challenges and SWW mini-kit are featuring the collab Sunflower.  

And since we missed August, we are featuring an additional kit this month, the Anchors Away collab.  The Wonder Girls have made an extra special gift for you this month and it will be given away as a blog train freebie party!  So please bookmark the Wonder Girls and keep an eye out for us THIS SATURDAY, the day before SWW starts.

And speaking of freebie templates...Andilynn's CT has hijacked her blog this week to run a cool challenge...check it out!  It's a really cool template challenge, that I made the template for!!!!!  We have had really good participation so far and it runs until this Sunday night.  You get the template for free obviously and when you post a LO, you get a cool photo mask set that Andi made as a participation prize!  I am gonna let you go visit Andi's blog to get all the details...look at the September 22 post.

And finally, because I haven't done one in a while, I am giving away a template tonight just for the heck of it.  I did this LO last night at the Scrap Matters Speed Scrap...

Want to win a new kit?

Hi everyone!  Tonight I have a couple announcements and a freebie template! 

How would you like to win one of these fabulous Sunshiney kits?

Well, you can!  Sunshine Studio Scraps is starting a new promotion where you can add a preview and little advertisement for a cool new kit to your blog and in return be entered in a drawing to win that kit for free!  It's that easy!  Check out this thread for all the details and to enter for these three kits and then check it often for new offers to pop up.

And here are a couple awesome new kits from 2 Sunshiney designers, they are awesome as usual!

The first is All About Funk by Kristi...check out those cool colors and funky elements..I love those flowers!

And next up is Veralyn by Kelly.  It is so soft and pretty and fresh!  Love purple, my favorite color, so this one is easy on the eye for me!  And she has a freebie on her blog that coordinates!  How cool is that!
Now, if you made it through all that (it was worth it, don't you think, those are awesome kits!) then your reward is a template!  I made it based on this LO I did.  I just thought it was a cute expression he had on his face and it needed to be scrapped!  If you want the story on what's going on in this photo, then scroll down to my last entry for pictures and the full story...

So, that's it for me...I am going to try to fit in 1 or 2 more layouts tonight.  Don't forget we still have Sunshine Wonder Week going on at Sun Studio and tomorrow is the last day for the QP Olympics featuring mgl Scraps Cinnamon Breeze kit.

As always, if you do any work with my designs, I'd love to see!

Nite Nite!

Isn't this cool?! And LOTS of freebies!

I was reading Scrapkitty's blog today and she linked us up to this cool site where you can get a "photo montage" name from photos loaded on flickr!  Isn't that cool?  You can get yours here.  When you type in your name and your montage comes up, click on the letters and the image of that letter changes, so you can pick ones you like.  Then, below, are the links to the photos on flickr and below that the html code in case you want to blog yours too.  Thought that was a fun little Friday tidbit...

On to business...it's Sunshine time!  Here's the schedule of all the fun events that will be going on all week, starting this Sunday.  Make sure to stay tuned in the forums and on the Sun blog for all the details.  OK, here's the schedule, it's gonna be big girls!

And, if you participated in SWW last month, you have already seen this and probably have it!  It was our Wonder Girl mini-kit for June.  If you missed it, you are in luck!  The Wonder Girls are having a blog party!  And this is the kit we are giving away!  So, make sure to visit the Sunshine Blog at 8am Saturday for all the links to the Wonder Girl blogs, then go hopping and collect all the pieces.  Hope you enjoy it, we sure had fun creating it!  Here's a preview of the whole kit...

And for my portion, I have three download links:
