New Freebie!! :-)

There have been 211 downloads of my quickpage. I have to say I'm amazed, I honestly didn't think I would get that many. Thank you so much to all who have downloaded. And the lovely comments have been wonderful. I was so inspired, I started my first kit!

I started with the idea of something small but once I got going, small turned into mega quickly. My idea is to show what can be accomplished using all freebie commercial use & designer resources items. Of course the first place I went on my search for free tools is The Ephemeral Victorian. This wonderful site & it's designers provide loads of free designer resources. The tools there are only for making freebies, so it works out great for me as I'm just learning this design stuff & I need all the tools I can find, lol. I have also collected a nice folder full of commercial use & designer resource items released as freebies over the last few months. So, the plan is a freebie mega-kit, made with all freebie tools, given out in several parts. I started with 4 colors that I like and already have plans to add more. I want to have all the basic elements & papers for each color along with special unique items. I thought coming up with a name for the kit was going to be hard but it didn't really take me long once I considered the theme I've been using for my design name/blog/TOU along with lots of color in the kit --

May I present part one of my first kit - Over the Rainbow! Part 1 is the first pack of 12 papers.

As always, please when sharing, share the link to my blog. Please support no digital piracy.

Next up is the first pack of elements. They're all ready to go, I just have to make the preview & upload to 4-shared. Please take a moment to look at the credits page included in each download. A big thank you goes out to Thaty Borges Designs, Anneli Andersson aka Happyscrappy, & Digiscrapalicious for their tools used in the making of this paper pack.

WOW!!!!

WOW!! There have been 149 downloads of my quickpage so far. I have to say a big THANK YOU!! to everyone who downloads. Reading all the wonderful comments gives me major warm fuzzies!! It's also given me a nice dose of inspiration as well! I started on my 2nd quickpage last night using Anita of Nana's Attic latest member kit called Tutti Frutti, it has more of her beautiful painted doodles. I even have an idea for my first kit. I'll post a peek soon.
I have to go for now, gorcery shopping & hungry kitties are calling my name. Cya later! :-)

Thank you -----

I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful comments here on the blog, at 4-shared, and thru the Nana's Attic yahoo group. It really means alot to me to hear them.

I have a new layout to share. We always seem to be the house where all the lost/abandoned/feral cats in our neighborhood are drawn too and we were, once again adopted by an abandoned cat a couple of months ago. We named him Pretty Boy Floyd, he has beautiful markings and the greenest eyes. He's very lovable with us until a camera comes into the situation, for some reason he's very camera shy. I finally managed to get a couple of shots with my cell phone that were good enough for a layout. My fav designer Sindiego's latest kit is Signs of Spring. She has a layout challenge on her blog, send her a layout made with the Signs of Spring kit and get a nice bunch of extra goodies for the kit. You can check it out here and here is my layout -

My First Freebie!!!

I finally have something I feel good enough about to share with you, my first freebie quickpage.

I've mentioned before that Anita of Nana's Attic is one of my fav designers. Her members only club is one of the best deals in digi-scrapping, check it out here

Here is my first in a series of Color Eruption Quickpages. This one is made with Anita's Grins & Giggles January member's only kit.

Here is my layout with my granddaughter -


And here is the quickpage - download here

Please when sharing with your friends, send them here to my blog. Please no hotlinking to 4-shared.

Hello New Layouts to Share :-)

I'm such a bad blogger! I swear I intend to make posts more often than once every 2 weeks. I'll try to do better, I promise. I've been scrapping tho, I have some new layouts to share.

New Widget added :-)

Hello world! Happy New Year! I'm a horrible blogger I know, getting myself used to blogging is proving to be harder than I expected. I've never been one to keep a diary or journal so this is a change for me.
I've been a happy member of Netflix for a year and a half or so until this week. They changed their new releases page, they've taken away the page that lists the weeks new movie releases. I finally found my way to the netflix blog, my first visit I didn't know they had a blog til today. Apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't like the disappearance of this page but I did find a link of the sidebar that took me to the old version of the new releases for this week so I am happy again. I even found a widget for the weeks new releases so I've added the widget to my page. It may change in page placement, I want to make sure it's not going to slow down the page loading time.
I promise to be back later :-)

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 :-)

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.
