I am bad at this LOL

I'm back at last, I know I'm a very bad blogger when I don't make a post for 2 weeks. I wish I could blame it on christmas rush but this year I didn't have to cook so that wasn't it. I did have a horrible cold, which is still hanging on but not so bad now, but honesty out, I was still on my computer I just wasn't in the mood. I can be a very mood driven person at times, lol.

I was scrapping tho, I have a couple of layouts to share with you today plus I'm working on a couple of things I hope to be good enough to post here to share & join the freebie crowd. Please bear with me while I'm learning the tags system & other blogging goodies. I hope to have this blog nicely laidout by the time anyone actually finds it.

Here's my grandkids with Santa :-)

another kit, I can't remember which one right now. I
promise to update these credits as soon as I find it. :-)

This is another of my fav designers, she is one of the very few that have persuaded me to part with my horded funds. Yes people I actually BOUGHT this kit, I love her stuff & I do have every freebie of her's that I can find but I just had to have the full kit of this one. She has several others that I want very badly so you're sure to see more of her work here. Make sure you pop over to her blog & check it out for yourself. This one also made with Photoshop Elements 5 :-)

I have a gallery at Scrapbook Flair, you can find it HERE

Cya for now, I do plan to back later with some info on scrapping apps :-)

Busy day

It's late, I can already tell I'm going to be a bad blogger, At least for the time it takes me to settle into the new habit of blogging daily.

My favorite designers --

My first fav designer is Sindiego (http://sindiegosscraps.blogspot.com/). This special woman almost never misses a night of blogging and each night's post brings with it wonderful freebies. Her kits are fabulous plus she has many readers that send in layouts and make quickpages of them for her to share. Each night brings at least one or two reader quickpages and a part of her latest kit. She has the most beautiful Christmas kit of any available, Christmas Glitter. I realize that is saying alot with the bevy of wonderful kits being shared by designers around the world, but, in this case it's deserved. Head on over to her blog and see for yourselves. She keeps the links to all her previous freebies current & archived on the sidebar (and isn't that great?). Check out her Primary Plaids kit too for some great christmas layout possibilities. I will admit that somedays I just scan thru blogs til I find the freebie but I read Sindiego's blog every night.

Hello!! :-)

Welcome to my first blog. I've found so many great things in the scrapping world that I feel a need to give something back. I've been digital scrapping for about 4 months and tried traditional paper scrapping too, digi is much easier, at least until the various apps available for scrapping/design/photo editing & organization come into play. Trying out new and different apps & games is also a favorite hobby of mine so I hope to post some of my experiences with those various apps.

I have another idea in mind but I will need help. Another of favorite apps is the Object Desktop group of programs from Stardock. These apps allow you to have complete customization of your computer from the visual styles & icons to custom right click & dialog menus. My favorite is Windowblinds which skins the windows user interface. I can easily see lots of scrapooking kit elements & papers ported into fabulous windowblind skins but I don't have the graphics skills necessary. If there are any designers or skinners out there who might be interested in this project please post a comment here or email to addy on the side bar.
