A new kit and header thanks to Scrapping Sisters!

Thanks to Tami and Ronda of Scrapping Sisters for this beautiful kit! What a beautiful color scheme of blues, creams, and browns! I was super excited when I saw it!

Of course, my layout only shows a FRACTION of what's in their kit, called "Serendipity". This is is huge with 22 papers and 102 embellishments! So what you see here doesn't do this kit justice!

And the great part of this kit, it's only $1.50 if you get it from their blog (scroll down a little and it's on the right)! All those avid digital scrapbookers know that that price is a steal for a kit so large! So hop on over to see them, tell them hi and grab this bargain!

Thanks again Tami and Ronda for your work!

I'm getting with the times! New HTML code for layouts.

Alright. So I've been a little slow with updating how I do my layouts and how they look on your blog. Yes, I know I need to make labels and folders of the different kinds of layouts I have to make easier access to all as well as different labels of all the kit designers so it's easier for you to pick out your favorites as well! Can you say lack of motivation? Yep, I have that. That would require a ton of sitting time on my part and that I just can't do with the children I have running rampant along the house!

But I did change one thing around. I've seen that the "cool" thing to do is to no longer have my name advertised on my layout but to have this cute little logo-thingy on the top left corner of the layout so that you can see the layouts are from me and that you can click on the little box and be sent to this blog.

So, here's the new code to add my layouts. Don't worry!! THE OLD CODE STILL WORKS!




<style type="text/css">
body {background-image: url(*DIRECT LINK GOES HERE*); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }
</style>
<div id="tag" style="Z-INDEX: 50; LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 150px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 30px; HEIGHT: 20px">

Amanda's Fall Collection kit!

I have "fall"en in love with Amanda's Fall Collection Kit. A little while ago, Amanda from KevinandAmanda.com posted this blog post about the new fall colors of clothing that she'll be wearing. I was in love with the color combinations! Especially since I've previously never cared for grey or the violet red color amongst the large spectrum of colors on the color wheel. But the thought of having a warm pinkish color for fall was genius and I knew I would forever look at that color on clothing and think of Amanda and how she changed my mind on it.

And lucky me--she made a KIT on the wonderful fall colors that have suddenly made my heart patter when placed together. And best of all: It's free! That's right! F.R.E.E.

Go and get it here. And don't forget to look around her site some more to get other WONDERFUL freebies, like crafty, scrapbooking and handwriting fonts for your computer! I LOVE them and have them all. I'm using her fonts all the time for when I print things out for church. Curlz and Comic Sans are sooo yesterday.

Ohhh, and do you like decadent treats? You should SEE the things she's cooking up on her blog too! I gain weight just drooling over her yummy posts!

Enjoy! I had a blast making this layout and header! Amanda, you are so stinkin' talented!

(...and the flowers were not a part of Amanda's kit. I added those on my own.)

Rachel Sams! It's been so long!

Rachel from Steel City Scraps has made some fabulous kits since I've last worked with her! You've got to see her shop. Her color choices for each kits are to die for! I could see her love and hard work for each kit. Her talent shows through as well.

This is from her "A Breath of Fresh of Air" kit. It is so sweet and soft colored. How could you NOT have this kit in your collection? If you don't have a collection, this is a great kit to start it! Rachel is awesome!

How to create your own layouts!

I've received several, and I mean SEVERAL emails on the measurements of my layout and how one could make their own.

Instead of writing the same answer to each of you, I thought it would be fun to make a liitle picture template to show you how I do it.

You do need to have Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or another artsy-fartsy program where you can set your image size and the amount of pixels per inch.

The photo is clickable so you are welcome to see a larger version of it! I always love to see what you create so don't hesitate to show me your backgrounds!

Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm happy to help!

Helpful tip from a fan!

I wanted to say thanks to Christy B for writing me and giving me this great advice:

I saw you had a link to how to make your template 3 column. I had tried that website before I saw it on yours. I couldn't get it to work. But I found another website that worked better for me and was less confusing.


I wanted to share it with you in case your readers found it didn't work also. :)

Thanks again Christy! Well all love simplicity when it comes to blogging!

How to add Post Dividers!

Forever ago, I posted how I thought you put in post dividers and then I asked if anyone knew of a better way to post them.

Well, there is! Thanks to Kindra, she sent me this link to Shabby Blogs with the tutorial on how to make those beautiful, adorning post separators!

Thanks Kindra and thanks to Shabby Blogs (I'm officially a follower) for your help!

Hmmm...looking at Shabby Blogs is really giving me the itch to give this blog a little facelift!

Check out Amanda Button's kit!

I was perusing around Amanda's blog, as I like to do as I love her photos and her craftiness and her inspirations to make me craftier--heck, just about everything that she posts, when I came across this freebie. I had to have it!! And you can too!


Are you not in LOVE with these colors? I've considered changing out my WHOLE blog with this kit until I considered the amount of time that would take.

...I'm still considering it. Do you all think my blog needs a facelift?

Check out Amanda's blog and let her know how awesome she is!

More Photo layouts done by my friend Sara.

I am without a camera, thanks to a three year old boy of mine who threw it on our kitchen floor and now it no longer responds when I try to turn it on. So my awesomest friend (yes, awesomest is a word when you're talking about Sara) took all these photos and sent them to me.

You like them?? I LOVE them! And there's so much more to come!

Don't worry, I haven't given up on the digi scrap layouts! This is something new and exciting and I'm really enjoying it.

Of all of these, which one do you like most and why? I would love to hear from you and I know Sara would appreciate the compliments on her photo taking.

Caryn from Enchanted Studio Scraps has the most cute kit, "There Was a Little Girl" that she generously shared with me to make some layouts and headers with.


As I was looking over Caryn's shop, my five year old daughter oohed and awwed over all of her kits, claiming they were beautiful and very "princessy".

Of all the kits that we looked at, she liked this one the most.


Thanks Caryn for your talent and sharing with me your kit! I love it!

Christie Lemmon and Rachel Sam's Collaboration kit!

I am in love with this kit! Rachel from Steel City Scraps and Christie of Christie Lemmon Designs came together to make this adorable collaboration kit called, "In Dreams". This kit was gorgeous!!! But, after looking over it a million times, I picked out my favorite paper and embellishments to make three different sized layouts and a matching header.

Please visit these ladies and tell them of what wonderful work they do! Thanks ladies for sharing your talent and kits with me!

I've changed things around a little bit to make life a little easier for you all. I would like to thank ScrappinBlogs.blogspot.com for her help!! I now have my regular sized layout, a full sized layout, and a three column full-sized layout.

Welcome to mISTYBELLE! I absolutely fell in love with this kit and had to have it! It's fun and bright and floral, just what we need in this cold weather! Her kit is called "Mi Cottage". I just love the papers and the flowers (along with the white fence--I love the picket fence--hence the reason why I like the name "Picket Fence Designs" for the kits that I've made). I couldn't get enough of this kit. It's adorable! You have to get it for yourself. mISTYBELLE's shop is here for you to check out this kit, along with the amazing others that she's made. She rocks!

So here's the direct link, just add it to your header (you don't have to worry about saving the image and then uploading it onto your blog this time).
Sorry about that! Thanks to Charlie and mISTYBELLE for pointing that out! Love you guys!! MWAH.

Pam from LadyBug Pages is Back and Whimsical!

Pam latest and greatest kit, "Whimisical Wonderland" comes in a girl set and a boy set! Those kits are too, too adorable! I could not stop playing with them! It was so much fun to make layouts and headers with these kits.

So all those princesses and princes, these are for you! Thanks so much to Pam! To get these kits, please visit her shop and to tell her just how adorable her work is, here's her blog. I know she'll appreciate it!

I would've had these posted last night but I was having the WORST photobucket issues! Are any of you having uploading problems with photobucket? It'll totally freeze up in the middle of uploading! GRRR. It took all night and part of this morning to get these layouts on there.

Here's the instructions. PLEASE read them first before adding your header.

This is one adorable kit! And there's so many fun pages and embellishments! I just loved it! There was so many more layouts and headers I could've made with this kit! But I have another kit to work with!! I feel so loved!

Charlie's super pretty kit, "Jaimee's Little Garden" is available here at her shop. But stop by her blog and pick up her fun freebies and participate in her challenges! She has fun ones! Be sure to tell her I sent you and how great she is!

Hooray, I'm back, no more issues, and with Charlie's "Hip Hip Horray" kit!

I'm back! Yesterday I FINALLY got my power adapter! I guess waiting 14 days is something I get for buying from Hong Kong! But my laptop's back and working and I'm a happy camper!


Here's Charlie's super fun, sassy, and sweet kit! I was so hoping to have it up on the first day of the year. But that's alright. You have to visit Charlie's shop at Stone Accent Studios, as well as her blog to pick up her loads of freebies. Charlie is the sweetest person in the world and makes the cutest kits! You always have a friend with Charlie, that's a promise!

I'm BACK!!...But with issues.

The holidays were awesome and I thank everyone for their kind comments and even for those of you who sent me Christmas cards! How thoughtful!

Christmas was great! My hubby got me plane tickets so I can go see my best friend in Michigan! Wahooo! I've been wanting to go visit her for well over a year now!

And the New Year's wasn't anything special. My husband totally crashed on the couch at 11:30, after I asked him if he wanted to watch the ball drop with me. Oh well, we've spent 6 New Years together and plan on spending decades more together.

But I have a problem. On the 23rd, my laptop's power cord went out. It just suddenly died! So I ordered one online and have been waiting forever to get it.

I have three kits I want to get playing with but I can't because I don't have the means to on my desktop!! Grrrr. I've SOO been having laptop withdrawals.

So I apologize. I was hoping to start the first of the month with some awesome layouts but...I guess it'll have to wait.

Happy New Years to everyone and thanks for your patience!!

Holiday break.

Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

I'll be back around the first of the year.

If you need to contact me, I'm still available via email (check the left sidebar for it).

This is my favorite time of the year. I love Christmas, the rememberance of Christ's birth, and the importance of family and good friends along with giving and service. Hope you too will enjoy your holiday season. May it be filled with love, laughter, and lots of good, fattening food (we got to have something to add to our New Year's Resolutions, right?).

Love you all!

Welcome Pam!

Ok, I was totally eyeing this kit before Pam contacted me! I was told by Sarah that she would be contacting me and so I went to look at her stuff and saw this kit, "Sweet Treats" and thought, "Ooooh, I hope she has me play around with THAT kit!"

It's a FUN kit! I love the colors, they do remind me of Christmas candy, the kinds that come in a tall tin and are super hard and it seems like all grandma's have them sitting out during the holidays. You know what I'm talking about? I love that candy! It brings so many memories with each piece

You have to get this kit! It's adorable! Check out Pam's shop to get it. Plus, she has lots of other fun kits and commercial use items for sale for cheap! And remember to check out her blog and send her some love!

Thanks again Pam!

More from Brenda Smith Designs!

As soon as I saw this kit I was in love. I love the muted reds, yellows, and blues! This is a perfect kit for the boys in your life! This is from her "Kale" kit. You need to see what others have done with this kit on her blog and once you've stopped by there, check out her sweet shop. Remember, you can buy her WHOLE store for $25 until the end of the year! Is that not a smokin' deal, or what?!


The one below doesn't have the word art on the bottom right.

Hooray! A Christmas Kit from Brenda!

I was so excited to use this kit from Brenda at Brenda Smith's Designs called "Home For Christmas". It's just too cute! You have to see her other kits too! And for a limited time (until Dec 31st, 2008), you can BUY her store for a mere $25! She has six pages worth of items and it's all for so little!


Anyways, you can enjoy her beautiful kit with my layouts. Thanks Brenda!

I've made a new kit, called "Trying Out". I purchased a lot more commercial use items and was trying it all out with a color scheme I liked, hence the name "Trying Out" for the kit.

Check it out and tell me what you think!

Hooray! More from the incredible LouCee!

I just LOVE this kit. Seriously! The colors and the worn out papers (along with the poodles, of course) are just breathtaking! Lou Cee is so talented! You HAVE to check out her blog and see her incredible kits and you'll be surprised by how talented she is with regular scrapping. She definitely inspires and motivates me to do the awesome things she does tutorials for.

This is from her "Pink Poodle" kit. And it's FREE! So go get it!

The back page (the cream colored one) and the front page are not from her kit. I made those.

More Christmas Layouts thanks to LouCee!

Yes, I have received the emails and comments that you all would like some more Christmas layouts!

Thanks to LouCee's Creations, she has TWO Christmas kits! I've downloaded her "A Traditional Christmas" kit. I think it's darling! It really does depict the traditional feel of Christmas and I really like that.

LouCee's blog is totally awesome. She has the NEATEST stuff on there. If you don't want to pick up the kit (which is FREE thank-you-very-much), you have to at least visit her site and see the neat crafts that she does, the things you can download to make the same craft, her beautiful kits, and her tutorials. She is amazingly talented. I might digital scrapbook but you will never find me with any talent to regular scrapbook (isn't that weird? But it's totally true, I have no talent in that department!)

Thanks LouCee! You're a gem!

Welcome Lynn!

We have another fascinating kit maker join my circle of designers! I'm truly enjoying all the kits that I see and all the designers that I meet. It really is an honor!

Lynn has some great work! But of all her kits, her "Almost All Red" kit was my favorite. I just love red! Nothing beats it. And I do have to say that this kit couldn't have come at a better time! It's getting so cold outside! So here's some sweet, warm colored layouts for ya!

Be sure to visit Lynn at her Blog and her Shop! She has the most darling kits!

Thanks again Lynn!

The top, cream colored page doesn't come with the kit. I made that.

I also colored in the flowers on the tag.

Welcome Barbara!

Barbara is a new designer with a bunch of cute freebie kits! I was so happy when she contacted me and gave me her "Bear" kit to use! The colors are neutral and inviting. I hope you enjoy the kit! Be sure to hop over to her blog and send her some love for her hard work!

Vicki's Latest Kit!

I am so excited about this kit! I just love Vicki's papers and embellishments. They're GORGEOUS! This is from her "Walking in a Scrappy Wonderland" Blog train and this kit is called "Shabby Christmas". I immediately fell in love once I saw the papers she had posted!

You can't afford to not get this kit! And when you pick it up, tell her how great she is! Thanks Vicki for making my day!

I've decided to make my top pages a little lighter so that your text is easier to read. So BOTH layouts have a cream/white transparent overlay that I have added myself (it does not come with the kit).


Enjoy and Happy Black Friday! Did anyone have the guts to go shopping today? Me? Heck no.

Winter Layouts!

Winter layouts are here thanks to Missy from Scraps With Attitude's "Snow Buddies" kit. I love the color choices she made. It's beautiful and really captures the excitement of winter. Thanks Missy. It's too darn cute to not make layouts for!! Visit her blog to see how you can get it too!

Also, send her some love for her well done work. And you should see her other kits! You'll be sorry if you don't!

Welcome Nicole!

I have a bunch of layouts/headers posted here from a new designer! I'm excited to show you these! Nicole from Digi-Designs makes adorable FREE kits! You can get all three of the kits that go along with these layouts on her blog. She had so many to choose from, but I picked these three! And you'll know why! These next couple of layouts and header are made with her "Serenity" kit. I just melted when I saw it! It's gorgeous!

(Side note: what's the deal with blogger? Are you not all having issues uploading your photos? Do they go all out of order for you too?)

And these next set of layouts and header is made from her "Dreamin'" kit! I just love it! WooHoo for Disney!
The brown grunge look over the polka-dotted paper does not come with her kit! I added it to make it match with the rustic looking bottle caps.

More from Sherah!

Another mega large kit from Sherah at Skrapper Digitals! Here's her "Jan" kit, loaded with 40 super cute, patterned and plain papers and something like 94 elements! This kit is too cute to pass up! And in her shop, you can get her "Jan Mega Kit Gift Bag" for FREE!!

I saw this kit and was immediately giddy. It's beautiful!

If you pick up her items, be sure to send her some love. She works hard for these massive kits (Remember, 94 elements we're talking here!). I know she would love to hear from you!

Welcome Sherah of Skrapper Digitals!!

I am so excited to introduce Sherah to you! She is incredibly talented with kits larger than I have ever seen!

Thanks to her "Thankful" kit, I have five layouts and a header for you. This kit is beyond beautiful. And when I say that it's massive, it...is...massive! I mean like 31 papers and a bajillion elements (I believe I counted 91 total)!

So you have to check her out. Here's her blog, her shop, and her other shop!

Thanks again Sherah!

What's coming up...

I have two NEW designers that I'll be making layouts for. This is such a treat!

First you'll be seeing layouts and headers from Skrapper Digitals fabulous work. I'll be working with her "Jan" kit and her brand-spankin' new kit called "Thankful". They both are stunning kits.

Next, you'll be seeing a few layouts and headers made from Digi Designs by Nicole. She has loads of freebies! You have to go to her site! I have an idea of what kits to use. So far I have decided on these:

"That Jazz" kit--for the musically inclined! I play the flute (like you care, I had to through it out there though).
"Dreamin'" kit--SOO cute!
"Serenity" kit--probably my most fave

So check out these talented ladies!

Check out Brenda's "Kiara" kit!

This kit is coming to a Digital Candy Shop soon! I couldn't wait long enough until it was posted to start making the layouts because it is just too pretty.

This is a soft, sweet colored kit. I love how calm and inviting it is. I tried to set the tone by making the layouts more serene and neutral. I hope I did a fair job at it! Go check out her shop and while you're at it, go to her blog and send her some love! I know she would appreciate it!
