Lovin' DST's one kit calls!!

Real quick I wanted to post this and tell you all about this new template kit I got the pleasure of working with today! Of course I was over at DST late last night and saw a call for these templates like I have never seen before and OMGosh I had to write Ella and of course she was sweet enough to let me have a go with these. Then I checked her blog and she has a coupon to one of her store's where you can get $2 off in her shop at My Scrap Shop! Use this when you check out ellaFileitSEPT. I grabbed another one of the templates that is a double page! Oh I can't wait to get some good fall photo's once the tree's start changing to work with these! Anyway, here is what she sent me to play with.
Here is what I did with 2 of the templates in the kit. I used a kit by a new designer and buddy of mine By Becca, check out her kits at ESS! This one is called Fading Summer.
Of course on this one I also used some of Jazzy's word art Fantasy Land.
Oh, and while I'm thinking about it let me show you one of Dani's awesome deals over in her store at ESS. She has a Sept Grab Bag that you can snag for $3 right now..5 new items in one bag!
Here are two LO's I did using some templates and kits in the bag...I just love templates, some days I want to scrap but I have no idea what or where to put something and it makes it so easy for me and I finally get some more pages done.

Last little thing, I just want to mention this again. If you love using word art when you don't feel like journaling or just like to use word art period and would love to be on a Creative Team email Jazzy and check out her blog! I'm sure she still has some spots left and we would love to have you join us!
That's all for now. I hope to be back tomorrow night with a freebie or two for ya! I have a busy day tomorrow, heading up around Atlanta to see a friend and take her kids back to her and then do a little shopping at my fav big discount store Costco! Yay! Have a great weekend!!

My first freebie!!

Well I'm back!! I haven't really been scrappin the past few weeks, all I'm gonna say is it has been crazy around my house..LOL. I do have a few pages to show you though. I answered a One Kit Call at DST, I highly recommend checking out The Happy Place and Calls, you might get lucky and get to play with a new kit before it is released, so as I was saying, I answered her OKC for this beautiful kit called Midnight Blue by Armina Designs and she let me play! First off, blue has always been my fav color so this was perfect for me!! Second..I have always loved her designs so for her to pick me to play with this gorgeous kit made me so so happy!! You can pick Midnight Blue up at Armina Designs, Gotta Pixel, and Pickel Berry Pop.

The first one I did for the Definition and Motto Challenge at ESS using Designs by Helly's beautiful word art, and for the Altered Photo Challenge at DSO. BTW, those are my beautiful daughter's eyes, I love how it came out.
Then for the second one I added some word art by my good friend Jazzy of Words to Delite. You can snag this and other awesome word arts at her store at DSO.
And here is the second one I did. My bff keeps this little girl and her mom had promised her a puppy when they got their new house..well she showed up at Tammy's house the other evening with Bella, the new pup..isn't she the cutest! It was love at first site from what I hear!
Now on to my first freebie on my blog. I asked Armina if I could give this page away and she kindly said YES!! I'm so excited! I hope you like it and I'm gonna try to make this a regular thing with a QP here and there.
Here is the link for the QP: Midnight Blue QP if it calls for a password then it is: blues
Thanks for checking out my blog and I hope you enjoy the QP. I had fun trying to figure it out..lol..it is only the second one I've made and it has been so long since I did my first one I didn't think I would remember how to do it.

Retirement sale and some other stuff.

Stopping by really quick to let ya'll know about Erin's sale...yes Erin of Scrappyweiss Designs is retiring! I'm so sad about this cause she was the very first designer to take me under her wing so she will always have a very special place in my heart!! I'm gonna miss you Erin, but I totally understand that family comes first!! I wish you the only best and will miss our little digi family! Anyway, you can grab some awesome kits from her shop at ESS while they last cause after Sept. 11, they will be around no more..she will not be giving these away on her blog, yes that's right they will be gone forever!! All kits are only $2.00 but you can get all 19 for $15.00, if you don't have them all already that is!! ;) And as you can see my fav one is the one she made for me..yep, my blog is made with her kit Nancy's Happy Day! LOVE IT!!


Oh yeah also wanted to remind everyone of Jazzy's CT call...she is still looking for some new talent so if your interested please send her a email!! You won't be sorry!! Love love love her word art!!


Ok, last bit of news then I'm off to bed..yeah it is 5:30 am and I'm soooo tired but I've been trying to do a few things on here tonight and catch up on some other stuff. I went to a speed scrap tonight at SDD, hosted by the awesome tag team of Jennmurphy and Hutchie. I got to play with a new kit by Robyn, she designs under the name Red Dog Digital Designs. You can see her kits at DDD, and as soon as they open shop at DSDI.


Here is my page with it..I love when Jennmurphy host a SS cause I always love my page but tonight after it was over I felt it needed more..so I tweaked it a bit, made the photo a little bigger, changed the position of it on the page and added a word art by Jazzy from PreSchool Days and then I was very happy! Sparkles are from Peggy's Magical Rainforest by Chaos Lounge and the stitching is from Stitich It by Kay Aagard.


Ok, thats all for now. I only ment to tell ya'll about the retirement sale. If you get the chance stop by the ESS forums at 9 p.m. EST friday night for a fun filled SS with Mel of A+ Designs! Not only do you get one fantastic page done you get a prize also for completing a LO and getting it uploaded before times up! The first hour she gives you instructions every 10 mins or so, then you get another hour to finish up and get it loaded..but most of the time they are pretty flexible about that last hour. So much fun! Come join us if you get the chance!! Later everyone, hope you have a great rest of the week!!
