Summer Sale! 50% Off

I'm not very motivated to do any designing lately, but I do have a sale for you!  The sale will go from now through July 4th.  You will be able to go to each product in the store by clicking on the preview!  Enjoy the sale!  And thanks so much for stopping by Today!

Not Much To Do About Nothing.............

Well, I'm in a designing slump..............no motivation................no inspiration...............nothing happening!  I guess we all get that way at times.  I've even purchased new scrapbooking magazines to "stir the emotions!"  Nothing happened!  {sigh}  I haven't even been doing any scrapbooking!  I am MONTHS behind on my 365 project, too!  {sigh}  I haven't even been taking pictures every day!  {sigh}  That is bad, especially considering I'm known by some members in my family as the "crazy camera lady!"  {sigh}  I'm looking for a miracle within the week for some BURST of energetic inspiration since the new month is looming on the horizon!  I pray it comes!

Though I haven't been inspired to do any digital designing work, I have been inspired by some crochet patterns I found free on the internet!  My dad used to say, "If it's free, it's for me!"  And since I am not working, I have really adopted that philosophy!  I have a new granddaughter and will have another grandson arriving in November, so I've been surfing the web for free sewing/knitting/crocheting patterns.  I have found several of each that I will be working on in the near future...........I have to begin soon because I'm bad about waiting too long on these types of projects!  Anyway, I did stay up all night on Thursday to finish this little set for my granddaughter!  I found a dress pattern and tweaked it a bit to make a little summer outfit.  The top on the pattern was solid, so I decided to open it up a bit and added the little flower button.  Then I searched the web for a pair of bloomers to go underneath.  The pattern was for some "soakers" that I changed a bit to give the ruffle to the legs.  I will probably tweak it some more because I don't like the joining seam in the very front.  Then I found a headband and some sandals and Voila!  I have a cute little summer outfit for our new little Abigail!  I used the kit I created in her honor, "Abigail."  You can find it in the store by clicking on the layout!  So, while I haven't been digitally motivated, it hasn't all been a loss!  :)

Thanks for stopping by Today!  And if you have some "inspiring" ideas, please leave me a comment!  I'd like to follow up on them!  Have a great weekend!

Black Widows and a Freebie

Hey, there!  DH and I took a couple of days off and are out of town.  But, we are relaxing in the hotel and watching "The Dark Knight" Batman movie.  I forgot how CRAZY the Joker was in this movie!  Anyway, I decided to share something with you during the commercials.

Last week, my DH was working outside and found this scary little beauty near our recycle bin.  I'm glad it was him that found it and not me.........or worse yet, our grandchildren who had just left!  I didn't have a kit to go with it, so I created a few things to make this page with.  And since I don't have any plans for it, its yours if you want it.  You can click on the layout to download it!  Everything you see in the layout is in the mini kit.  Hope you can do something with it!

Grab the FREE Template and Take the Challeng With Me!

Today I want to share the 2 challenges I host each month at Faith Sisters.  And I'm hoping to tempt you to try it with the FREE template packet that I offer every month to do the desktop calendar challenge with AND to let you see what the prize is for participating in the theme challenge.

First, the Desktop Calendar Challenge (click the preview to download the template packet).
I love creating a new Desktop Screen Saver every month!  You get your choice of calendar templates to work with as well as the template for the design of the desktop screen saver.  There are instructions included in the download in case you need help figuring out how to do this.  Trust me!  If I can do it, you can too!  So, I hope you will grab the template packet here and post your unique desktop to the gallery and then a copy of it in the forum to let me know you participated!  I know once you have done it, you will want to do it every month!  Click the preview for the download and keep reading for explanation of the other challenge.

 Here's how mine turned out using my new kit, Life is Good at the Beach.  It is on sale for 50% off this month, too!  Click the calendar to go to it in the store.  It is a STEAL of a good price!

The next challenge is a themed scraplift challenge.  This month you will be scraplifting one of my layouts and the theme is a/the man in your life.....I want you to tell me about him on your page.  Please remember to keep it family friendly!  :D

I have a different prize every month............just whatever happens to float my boat at the time, LOL!  This month I will be giving everyone who participates a coupon for $5 to my store.  So, I hope that is incentive enough to get you to participate!  When you participate, put your layout in the gallery and then post to the forum so I know you have participated.

Click on the ad to go to the forum thread.  Click on my layout to go to the gallery.  I sure hope to see your pages!  My page is another example of how you can use my new kit, Life is Good at the Beach, for something other than beach pictures!

 You can view the original layout to scraplift in the forum thread (by clicking on the ad above).  Here's my page.  Click on it to go to the gallery where you will post yours.

NEW Month - NEW Product!

Well, like I mentioned in a post last week, I was having so much fun creating stuff for this kit that I knew I was going to have to just make myself QUIT!  Yep!  That's what happened!  I ended up with 127 element files!  WHEW!  You are gonna LOVE this kit!  It turned out really cute!  LOTS of goodies to work with on those beach pages!  But, there's enough stuff that you don't have to restrict using it to just beach pictures!  I'll show you examples tomorrow when I tell you about the new challenges for June that I am hostessing at Faith Sisters.  Click on the previews to go to the product in the store!

Thanks for stopping by Today!

 There are so many papers and elements that I put them on separate previews!

 These frames are not in the kit, but the elements surrounding them are.

Do these look familiar to you?  Hope you were able to grab them last week here on the blog!  If not, you can get them for $1!
