Grand Finale of "Playing For Keeps"

Good day everyone!
I hope you all are having better weather than we have been having here.  For the last several days we have had tornados, severe wind and rain, lightening and thunder and never know when we will lose our power.  And from what the news says, its not over just yet.  But I have found a little time (and power) to finish up my entry for the finale over at "The Studio".  I decided to go with some word art thanks so some suggestions given to me.  I have come up with 6 different ones.... some of which come with alternates with/without shadow and with/without add ons.  I figured that some of you might not want it the way I originally did it so I wanted you to have choices.  I will make you wait no longer......





Link Expired  Pick This Up in My Shop


Wanted to remind you that you can only pick up the entire kit until April 30th and then you will have to get it in my shop.  Thanks for all the support through out this wonderful contest and I am glad that you all have enjoyed my creations!

Have a blessed day!

Salebration Winding Down and One Last Freebie from Happy My Day Kit

Welcome everyone!
I hope your week has been starting off alright and that you had a wonderful Easter Holiday, if you celebrate.  My Birthday Month and Salebration are coming to an end this week but it has been the best month ever between my DH coming home for R&R, all the wonderful freebies, and of course, all the outstanding comments that you all have left me. 
Today, I wanted to remind you that most of my shop is 35% off or more but will wind down this weekend coming up.  If you want something, the time is now to get it.  Don't forget to scroll through and pick up my Happy My Day and Playing For Keeps kits as they will be gone this week as well.


I and my wonderful partner are stil chugging along in the ADRS and here are my entries from this past week.



I have also moved on in the contest over at "The Studio" though I did not get a prize in the "alpha" round, which I wasn't expecting since I do not like making them.  I would like your help though.  This week we have to either do a glitter pack, qp/bb pack, word art pack, cluster pack or template pack.  If you could choose one of those to go with my entry "Playing For Keeps", which would you like to see?  I am having some creative challenges with them as I am worn out from having the kids be in the house due to the weather for the last couple days.  Just drop me a comment before WED, so that I have time to put them together.  Here are some of the entries you can pick up right now - the gallery





Ok I know you all are looking for the freebie.... well I have more than one for you.  I have a QP from Jennifer from my Creative Team using "Happy My Day" and I have a QP from Angela from Crystals Creations Creative Team using our new Collaboration "Miles of Smiles".





Have a blessed day!

May Faith Sister's Train is on the Move

Good day everyone!

First I want to say "THANK YOU" to those of you who have left messages for me the last couple of days for the freebies I have offered.  It is very sweet to have the birthday wishes and the good wishes about my DH.  Again...thank you for taking the effort to show your thanks.
Now... its that time again for the Faith Sisters Designer Collaboration Blog Train.  Note that this train is only good for 1 week and after that all the links will expire and you will have to pick the collaboration up at the shop.  This collaboration is called "Peaceful" and is all about relaxation (which I know a lot of us miss out on!).
Here is my part

Collaboration Release and Template Challenge

Good day everyone!
I hope everyone is having a great Thursday so far as my time with my DH has been great.  Though it hasn't been really relaxing, we have gotten a lot done around the house such as new hardwood floors in my living room and a sliding glass door to my deck (the other door had been leaking and rotting). 
Enough of that, I am sure you are excited about seeing the new collaboration kit that I did with Crystal of Crystals Creations.  It is called "Miles of Smiles" and is perfect for any boy or girl who you have photos of at the dentist or loosing their teeth.  It is filled with shades of green, pink, orange, purple and blue.  It contains 20 different and unique papers, 43+ elements and 6 wordarts.  This weekend only it will be on sale for 30% off so make sure to grab this weekend for the best deal!


Our wonderful Creative Team Members have made some beautiful layouts with the kit to show you what you can get and to inspire you!




Now if you pick up the kit, I am hosting the Designer Template Challenge this week and you can pick up the template and the collaboration to enter the challenge.  I am going to award one layout (randomly choosen of course) a $5.00 gift certificate to my shop.  So why not pick everything up and enter to win?!?!?!

This is what my wonderful creative team member Jennifer did with my "Playing for Keeps" kit and the challenge template.



Have a blessed day!

Round 3 - The Alpha

Good morning everyone...
I have had a few minutes in between spending time with my DH and my kids to get my round 3 entry into "The Studio" design contest.  Though I will not be around much, there will still be so much for you to do and pick up that you might not even notice that I am off in "make believe land" - that is I make believe that I will not have to send my DH back to war.  This week is my birth day... so watch out for a super special sale for that day only, I will have the elements pack to match "Happy My Day", possibly some wonder QPs from my outstanding CT members, Thursday Designer Template Challenge at Faith Sisters, ADRS layouts 7 & 8 as well a very special collaboration release.  So much to do and so little time to do it in.
Well, lets get started on a few of these wonderful things. Crystal from Crystal's Creations and I got together again to make another wonderful collaboration.  We will be releasing it on Thursday with a weekend sale of 30% off.  I thought I would give you a little sneak before Thursday just to tempt you to come back and check it out.

Now I know you all have been waiting to see what Round 3 over at "The Studio" would bring..... and it brings alphas.  We continued with the same color scheme and theme of wedding.  We were all asked to make a complete alpha to match and here is my entry that you can of course pick up at the gallery along with my papers and elements.

The Salebration Continues

Good afternoon everyone!
My DH has arrived home safely for his mid-tour from Afghanistan.  He will be here for 15 days so I might be a little incognito as we will want to spend as much time with him as possible.  He will return to Afghanistan and not come back to us until Feb of next year.  It will be a long time, so forgive me if I am not around.
Well before I disappear, I want to show you what I did for the ADSR this week.  We were only required to do one challenge this week as our second challenge host has been placed in the hospital.  They offered us an optional challenge in place of it but I do not know if I will get to it.  The first challenge was to have us tell everyone what our "pefect day off" would be.  We were also given three "recipes" to choose from to complete our layout.  I choose the first recipe which was to have 3 papers, 1 frame, 1 journaling block, one or more buttons, 1 title, and 1 ribbon.  Here is my layout.... you can find it here if you want to leave love.


Now my Birthday Salebration is continuing with a new percentage off and of course a freebie for you all.  This week most of my shop will be at 50% off through Thurs 21st.  For the freebie, I have put together a little kit for you all to help me celebrate.  This week I will offer you the papers and you will have to come back next week to pick up the elements.  Remember though, that I will have other freebies inbetween there so you will surely want to check back frequently to make sure you grab all my freebies offered this month.


Here is a outstanding layout from Jennifer using my "Happy My Day" kit.

Design Contest Round 2

Good day everyone...
Its pretty soggy here but luckily it stopped everytime I had to walk to the car... yeah! But I like the rain as it is soothing and very helpful for my garden and grass that I am attempting to grow this year. Never been much of a green thumb and tend to kill any pets I own (let you know that I have never owned anything bigger than a gerbil).
Well, I have finished round 2 of the design contest at "The Studio". We had to make 30 (no more no less) elements to match our color scheme from round 1. You can now pick up both the elements and the papers over at the gallery. If you pick up mine or others, please leave some love either here or in the gallery. We have worked hard on these items and am offering them to you for free.

Don't forget about my Salebration going on right now in my shop at Faith Sisters.... you can get 45% off most items in my shop until Thursday.



Have a blessed day!

Week Round Up

Good Saturday everyone!
I thought before I started the day with soccer games, I would drop by here and give you a rundown of what has been going on this week with my contests.
First the ADSR really stretched things this week with some very interesting challenges.  The first was to do a layout of what our family does together (or what each like to do) but the trick was that you had to have the focus part to be about that and you had to journal.  The second one this week we had to do as a team..... My partner, Michele, gave me photos and journaling and I had to do the layout.  We had to do a layout about traveling and had to make sure we had a "vehicle" some where in the layout.  Here are the layouts from this week.



Ok so for the Designer Contest over at The Studio..... I came in 2nd place for my first week entry..... toot! toot! for me.  That is so exciting seeing there were so many wonderful entries for this week.  Now I am presently working on the new challenge which is to have 30 elements that match the papers.  We continue with the wedding theme and our color palettes.... I am about half way there right now with my new entry but of course the weekend is always busy.  Don't forget that the papers for round 1 are still available for you to download for free... please make sure to leave love for any designer that you might download from as we all work hard.

Blog Interview and Freebie

Good day everyone!
It has been a wicked weather week here as 3 tornados touched down around us.... luckily none of them hitting too close and no lives lost.  We have more of it on the way but hopefully everyone will be safe and today is beautiful so I am not going to worry about it.
So I was invited to do a Designer Blog Interview with the wonderful Danielle better known as "The Urban Fairy".  She is wonderful and I had such a great time with the interview.  You can read all about it on her blog.  I have also offered a freebie template that goes with my upcoming "Happy My Day" kit.  You can see what she did with the tempate here and then swing by her blog to pick up the actual template.

Charity Mega Collaboration for Heather Manning

Good morning everyone!
It is a beautiful day here.... thankfully, I have been pretty gloomy with all the cold and rain lately.  Not to mention the mud the boys seem to be attracted to.  But after getting the cleaning done, some creativity flowing and so designing done, I plan on taking them to the park to get some of their energy out.

I have told you that I am involved in the ADSR 6 which has released another challenge.... this one is going to be tough but I will hopefully get it done before the next one is released.  I am also going to get working on some freebies for you as well as a new collaboration that will be coming out in May.  Until then, please check out this wonderful Mega Charity Collaboration in honor of Heather Manning and her family.  Heather is a fellow designer who came home from her holiday to find that her home had burnt down.  No one lost their lives, including her pets, but the home was a total loss.  She has braved this with high spirits and positivity.  In fact, she has been seen participating in other charities even though she is homeless.  Over 70 designers came together to create this awesome kit in efforts to raise money to help her build a new home.  All proceeds will go directly to Heather and her family.  The kit contains 200 papers and 376 elements, plus several alphas, styles and templates.  This is just a collaboration you do not want to miss out on... and doing it for a good cause is just a huge bonus!





You can pick up this kit in several differnt options.... Bundle, Kit, Alpha, Tmeplates, 2 different styles but I would go for the entire bundle to make sure you don't miss anything.  You can pick it up only at Scrappity-doo-dah here.
This is what my contribution looks like


If you want to learn more about Heather Manning, her family and her story, please stop by her blog.

Have a blessed day!
