I think I am back! LOL! PNG files of the A page freebie!

I have been away for quite some time haven't I? I have been so sick. I got the horrible virus that is going around and it turned into a very serious sinus infection. Well, I am half way through the antibiotics so I hope things get better soon. On top of that I am still dealing with health issues otherwise.

But I really do want to get back into creating again. Today I have a page to share with you. This is my mother-in-law on her wedding day. I am still working on some photos that my husband found of his grandmother after her passing back in February. I have a lot of work to do.

Products used:
I See Spring Paper Pack by Veronica Spriggs
Beautiful Botanicals by Veronica Spriggs
Fancy Border Stitching by Veronica Spriggs

Now, I do have something that you can take if you want. A few of you have asked for the PNG files of my ABC template series so I am taking it one day at a time and I am going to try to put them up for you all. I hope that you like them. I will try to get some time to make some new templates soon.

Pick the PNG files up for these two here:
8.5x11
12x12

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all enjoy the templates once again.

Sorry that I have been MIA lately. About 6 weeks ago I started getting sick and it as taken me this long to get over it. I am not completely over it yet but it is finally almost gone. On top of me being sick so has my babies. It is not a fun day when you have to all be sick and miserable. I just wanted to pop my head in and say hi. I know there are some things that need to get going on doing so I will try to do what I can when I can.

Also, one more thing. When the sicknesses started I had decided to step down from all my CT's but one-Wendy (Broken Jar Creations). So to all those wonderful designers out there that I had the opportunity to work for - Thank you so much! I miss you all and I hope to see you all around. I do have one exciting thing happening. I was just accepted on Veronica Spriggs CT. I am excited. I hope this might help me to come out of my shell again.

Thanks all for your lovely thoughts and checking in on me. Keep an eye open for some new things coming soon!

I've been published!!! Woohoo!

I have not told many people just those on Silvia Romeo's CT but my layout has been published in 3Scrapateers new Jan/Feb Ezine. I am so excited and just had to share with you all!

I made this layout with Vintage Basics by Silvia Romeo; optikVerve Labs Virtual Photographer; Scraplift from Lemenor; Fonts: Cooper Black, Edwardian Script ITC

I had not even realized that they had one until I was checking my mail one day and a notice came through for submissions for it. I thought I would try for it. Then a week later I got an e-mail stating they wanted to use my layout for the ezine. I am so stoked.

Anyhow, I was looking through the Ezine tonight and boy they have a lot of cool things in there. And over 300 mbs of freebies. My favorite is the Love It kit by Stacey Kluczny and DeDe Smith. It is so cute! I might just be getting this every month because it is only $5. Well, I am still excited. Things like this doesn't happen to me very often.

Are you inspired? Where does your inspiration come from?

Have you ever just got that creativity block and nothing seems to cure it? Well, that is where I am at right now. I am so sorry that I have not been around much as of late. I remember this time last year I couldn't stop doing pages. Well, I guess I can this year.

Where do you get your inspiration from? I usually get it from the paper scrapping magazines and sometimes through the new digital scrapbooking magazine. I like the paper ones more because it gives me more of a challenge to make it look like paper scrapping. I also love to look through galleries. I have to say that it is really fun. Well, I just have not had time to do any of these type of things so I am in a rut. I guess I need to free my time more don't I?

I did want to share with you all some sites I have come across in my little time I have spent on the computer and maybe it will inspire you. The first few are not scrapbooking sites but paper craft blogs. I hope you like them as much as I do.

The first is Work In Progress. She has such creativity I don't know how she sleeps at night. LOL! I wish I could do this. And I love her new challenge so check it out!

Second, is Taylored Expressions. Again, this is more of a paper craft blog but I bet you can get some great ideas for layouts but also to maybe craft a little with that love for scrapping!

Now here are a few of my favorite blogs that are scrapping blogs that give me great ideas for my scrapping and some actually have awesome templates if you are looking for some.

Kirsty Wiseman has to be one of my favorite blogs of all time. She is so creative. She does these awesome overlays once in a while but I think what my favorite thing about this blog is that she is such a terrific photographer. She really has an eye for taking absolutely fabulous pictures.

Andrea Gold's Blog is always a pleasure to stop by. She has the most amazing templates.

Gunhild Storeide's Blog is awesome. She has some great freebies you can play with.

Racketty Scrappety has a great blog and awesome templates, tons of them!!!

Shauna's Blog has some more great templates and inspiration!

Trish H Designs has some great templates too. I just love her designs.

The Meadow has some great layouts in her Old school challenge that I thought were fantastic.

Valerie Ostrom has some lovely layouts to inspire you.

Okay, that is just a very few blogs that I fregquent when possible. I hope that will help you and maybe help me with some inspiration for new layouts!

One of my favorite sites is back. They are into full force again at Do It Digi. Congrats Wendy! I am so happy to see you back!

Now, I have missed them so much that I am going to be on Wendy's CT team (yeh, I know don't I do enough as it is?! LOL!) but I truly missed her while she was not around. So I have a few new things going on because of it and one fun thing is that I am hosting a challenge.

Yup! A Challenge over at DoItDigi. It is a Font Challenge. Come check it out HERE! Now there are two fonts for you to choose from to use.

K, L, and M template freebies are ready! Also-my first templates in the store at SDK!!!

I know what took me so long? Well, I made a few mistakes on the templates but they are fixed and raring to go.

But first look! I finally got my first templates up in the store at SDK. If you have been around for a while and have been stalking my site then you know these look familiar. These are some templates that I have taken off the blog to make room for the Alpha templates. I have changed them around and grouped them together.

Here is a bundle of templates that will keep you busy all day long and into the night! I have combined two of my favorite shapes. Circles and Stars. You can turn these many times and get numerous different styles out of them. I hope you have fun with these!
They are perfect for holidays such as Memorial Day,Independence Day, Labor Day, or even any ordinary day you need to scrap for.
You can get these templates as a bundle HERE or buy them individually: Template 1, Template 2, Template 3, Template 4.

Now on with what you all came here for! The Alpha Templates are ready!!! Now I am officially half way done. Now I just have to get the others finished before the end of the month right!

Here is the first one. This is the K template. This first layout was done with Hawiian Delight by Shannon J at SDK.

Big oops! I thought I was done doing the next three templates and guess what! I put the Alphas on the wrong part of the page. Now I have to go back to the drawing board and do it again! Augh! Please forgive me!

Update on me and the templates! And my freebie at SDK to pick up!

Hello all! I am so sorry about the delay. I am not sure if anyone has really known about what was going on this past month here at our house but we were stressed out being surrounded by fires for over a week. I know I should have let you know before but I have been stressed and having the kids home stressed didn't help either.

Yup! I live where all those wild fires are going WILD!!!! We literally had 6 fires surrounding us within 3 days. Scary! Yes! The even scarier part was it was just difficult to keep a brave front up for the kids. To say the least I could not concentrate much on my computer at the time. I tried but just couldn't. Unfortunately, the Santa Ana winds (which cause the problems) are expected this weekend again so please pray for us if you can. I am a bit nervous.

And before that happened I had been finishing up my Fundraiser CD for the school so all my extra time went toward that. Well, I figured out I probably spent about 130-140 hours preparing the CD. Wow! That is a lot of time when you think about it.

So, to say the least October was a very interesting month, especially since the last part was my birthday! Yup! Not even going to say how old I am because it doesn't matter anymore I just FEEL old! LOL!

But, here is the good news. There a few more parts to the Supa Digi Kit at SDK up. Great designers. Now my contribution is not as big as the others but this is what it is:
It is a purple spider web alpha both with the beads and without. I hope you all like it. To get it please go to the SDK store and pick it up HERE.

Don't forget to pick up the rest of the Supa Digi Kit HERE!

So.....regarding the ABC templates. Yes, I need to get going on them don't I? Guess what I am almost ready to post the next one so keep an eye out. Thanks for understanding.

ScrappinDigiKreations has a great give away for the month of October! Come check it out!

You have got to see this great kit that the designers at SDK have made for everyone this month. My contribution has not been put up yet but will be I hope next week. All you have to do is register at the store and you can put this in your shopping cart for free! Check it out HERE!
