Template 39

Template 39 is done! No LOs of this one yet, but I think it's a fun one. A word of warning, though: if you have journaling all across the bottom the way it is in the template, watch out for the crease! You don't want your words cut off as a result. Template 39 is a 2 page template in PSD format. Here's the preview:



You can download it here.

Stay tuned; template 40 will be up soon!! Just in time for Mother's Day. Oh, and since it is now officially after midnight, Happy Mother's Day to all you mommies out there! Hope you all have a great Mother's Day and that your kids and hubbies spoil you the way you deserve;)

Template 38 and How to Host a Murder

I have a new template and a new LO to share! But first, some sad news. Many of you have probably already heard, but Digital Candy is shutting down:( I'm so bummed. I know that they're doing what they feel they need to because of the circumstances, but it still stinks. I was just starting to get comfy and settled in there and then this had to happen. ValerieN Designs, who I CT for as a QP maker, has her only store there, so now she's looking around at other store options.

But now for some happier things!

On our little trip over the weekend, we played this AWESOME game called How to Host a Murder. There are several different games under this guise, all with their own titles and themes. We did Powar and Greede. It was SO fun! And, of course, we took lots of pictures. And I made an awesome page from some of them. LOL, I originally had picked out 14 pics, but cut it down to 9. Not an easy thing to do! Anyway, here's my page, which qualifies for the weekly challenge on BAM. The challenge was to scrap a progression of pics, lots of journaling, and use a newer kit.

Template 38 is the above LO. It is a double page template in PSD format. Enjoy! I can't wait to see what you do with it! Oh, and I made the magnifying glass myself, so you get to have it in the template:) Here's the preview:

As always, I'd love to hear back from you!

And now that my toddler is down for a nap, I'm going to take a much needed shower!! More to come later!

Template 37 and Your Cute Smile

I'm baaaack! Sorry it's taken so long to get back to posting since our little trip. We got back on Monday. And we STILL haven't unpacked all the way LOL! We've been a bit sleep deprived to put things away. We didn't sleep well on our trip at all - mainly because Emma had SUCH a hard time sleeping while we were gone. She slept perfectly as soon as we got back, of course. Despite that, it was a fun trip:) We got to spend time with friends we don't see very often. In fact, the last time we'd gone down to visit was when I was pregnant with Emma...and she's nearly 18 months. I'll be scrapping lots of fun things from that trip, which will likely be turned into templates, so stay tuned!

Speaking of templates, I set a mini-goal for myself this morning. I want to have 40 templates by Sunday. Why? Because Sunday is my brother's 40th birthday;) Yes, on Mother's Day. Bwahaha, he's so going to kill me for posting that (if he even sees it).

Aaaanyway, I DO have a new template today! It's of a LO I did for a speed scrap on BAM yesterday. These were our instructions:

1. Choose 3 pictures, and make one black and white.
2. Choose 4 papers. One should have a pattern.
3. Frame the black and white picture, but don't use a frame.
4. Embellish around your black and white photo, and attach your other 2 photos with whatever you like.
5. I want to see something shiny. . Put it wherever you want on your page.
6. Title your page. Use 3 words, and two different fonts.
7. Do something to the edge of your page. Use an overlay, brushes, or frame your page. Journal and date if you like, and you're done !!

And my page:

As always, I'd love to hear from you and see your pages!! Oh, and I do have a few pages some of you have sent me to post, so those will be up soon! I love seeing them! Thanks!

Glitter Elements - BCC2 Expansion

And today is the last of my BAM Color Challenge Expansions! I should be back from my trip by now, but I wanted to pre-post all of these just in case. Today you get a fun glitter elements pack. Kimi made these AWESOME seamless glitter styles (and sheets for those of you who can't use styles) and she let us use them in our color challenge desings:) I couldn't use them much for the baby kits, since glitter should be used sparingly with baby themed kits. But I loved them so much I just HAD to play with them and make some pretty glittery elements to share! I made so many that I had to split it into 2 downloads - and I very easily could have kept going! But I had to stop SOMEwhere;) Anyway, here's the preview:

Like the paper? It's in yesterday's Sweet Baby Neutral kit;) It's also featured on my blog, but it depends on your screen and resolution as to whether you can see it. It's the brown paper on the sides.

I'd love to hear back from you and see what you do with anything I make:)

Sweet Baby Neutral - BCC2 Expansion

And today is neutral day! It's also my neice's 8th birthday. Happy birthday Alex!! I don't know if you read this or not, but have a great birthday!

Anyway, Sweet Baby Neutral is a smaller kit than the boy and girl versions, but it can definitely be used with either. It's pretty versital, so it can be used for whatever you want:) Tomorrow I'm releasing a big glitter elements pack (I had to split it into 2 downloads), so don't forget to check in again tomorrow! If you missed Sweet Baby Girl or Sweet Baby Boy, they're just a few posts down;)

Here's a preview for Sweet Baby Neutral:

It's supposed to rain the day we want to take the kids to the zoo:( Time will only tell I guess. Anyway, here's the preview for my Sweet Baby Girl expansion. Come back tomorrow for the boy version!! It'll be posted at the same time since I'm pre-posting;)
