Template Challenge Time Again

Good day everyone!
I hope you are ready for challenge..... it is my turn again for the Designer Challenge over at Faith Sisters.  This month I needed some inspiration to get my juices flowing on a template for you all so here is my inspiration from one of my wonderful CT members Jenn using the kit "Life's a Beach" by Simple Girl Scraps

So here is my template that you can pick up for free for the next 2 weeks. If you so choose to play along with us, please make sure to post your layout in this gallery and in this thread.

You can pick it up here

Here is some more inspiration for you from one of my newest creative team members, Anna, using my "Nature's Garden"

I hope you all come an play with us as I think you would have fun... not to mention that I always give a gift certificate to one random player.

Now if that isn't enough, I have decided to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with an awesome sale for all of you.  My shop will be on sale for 40% or more and for those of you who check out my blog here is a coupon to get an additional 25% off your entire order.

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.

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.

New CU Release and Freebie

Good Morning...

I hope everyone is having a good friday... as mine has started off with 1 little one with a fever and 2 others with a cough, then me with a sore throat. Hopefully it will quickly move on and not get worse.

So today I have release a new CU product. When I created my last entry for the STS contest, I made some layered templates that I thought others might be able to use. So this CU kit contains, layered templates in PSD format. I hope you enjoy them and pick them up while they are on sale for 35% off.

And you all know that its very rare that I don't leave you with a little freebie, so here is a bow that I photographed for the same kit. It is in 300dpi and in orignal color but easily recolored. I would appreciate you if you could leave some love when you pick up the freebie.

Hi there and welcome to my first challenge of the New Year! I thought that since everyone is trying to finish up their 2010 books I would help out by offering a template challenge that covered the entire year. This template can be used as the template or as a sketch and comes in PSD/PNG formats so that everyone can participate whether digital or hybrid. You will have a week to pick up the template for free here and I will give you 2 weeks to finish and post your layout to the gallery here. I will randomly select one person to win a $5.00 gift certificate to my shop.
So go pick up the template..... and lets play!!!

Here is some inspiration for you from my CT

New Template Bundles, New Kit with Challenge and Freebie

Hi Everyone -

I know it has been a while... things have gotten so crazy. My hard drive crashed in December, got it fixed, then the motherboard died, and got a whole new computer. Unfortunately when I got the new computer, I couldn't reinstall Photoshop because my darling husband had the disc in Korea with him (great place for it... seeing he doesn't even use it). Anyway, I have finally gotten back full use of my computer and all the software I need to design and create. I have 3 Template Bundles that I have created for Faith Sisters "My Lifetime Story" Challenge. If you are interested in participating in this challenge go HERE.

Now for the other challenge I have been working on.... it is called My Sweet, Sweet Song Challenge where a couple of the designers have created kits to coordinate with the challenge. This months description is below along with my kit and a free quick page (it will only be available for 1 week - the other designer is offering one as well).

Faith Sisters - My Sweet, Sweet Song- I Hear Your Voice
My Sweet, Sweet Song- I Hear Your Voice
God is always there but sometimes we let the noise of this world hide him from us. We miss the guidance and comfort that comes from him because we are too focused on everything else. But there are moments when the noise fades away and we are completely aware that we are in His presence. Maybe you have heard God’s voice in those moments or maybe you just felt his presence surround you, but you knew that you were with Him.

He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God. -John 8:47

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. -John 10:27

The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. -1 Kings 19:11-12

Can you think of a song that breaks through the noise of the world? A song that carries God words to your heart? For February’s challenge, we will focus on songs about God's voice and presence. Songs that remind us to slow down and clear our minds, so we can hear and see God. I hope you will join us this month in creating a layout inspired by your favorite songs. Below are a few songs I thought fit this topic, but feel free to share any song that you feel drawn too.

The Voice of Truth- Casting Crowns
The Noise- Jessie Daniels
The Voice of God- 4 Him
Word of God Speak- Mercy Me

New Templates at Faith Sisters Shop

Hi there everyone...

I know that I have not been around for a while not only due to the holidays but also due to a hard drive crash. I know, back up back up back up..... which I did but haven't since August. I had been planning on doing it within days of the crash but I guess it wasn't soon enough. I have had my DH working on my computer during his mid-tour break from Korea which kinda sucks but I am glad he has been home to help. He has rebuilt my computer with 2 hard drives so this will hopefully not happen again, plus he has gotten me another external to back up my data. I guess I will do it more often than every 4 mths... more like 1 a week or so from now on.

Luckily I had placed my newest design on mediafire so that the CT could work with it so I do have a new item for you to check out. It is a bundle of 12x12 templates that are designed to be title pages but can of course be used for anything your creative mind can come up with. They are going to be at 50% off through the end of the month to celebrate the start of the "My Lifetime Story" Challenge that Faith Sisters is having to help everyone get their own personal family information in order for you to pass on. You can read more about it here.


You can pick up my new templates here. If you are looking for freebies.... I do have most of them still active below. Please check them all out and as soon as I get fully up and running, I will have many more freebies for you.

Have a blessed day!
