Bunch of Circles Template Freebie! And some layouts!


I have done a couple of layouts with School Stuff kit by Scrap4Brains (Cristina Guillermo) for the Digitals CT. What a cute kit. I love the bright colors.

I have also used Multi Photos 1 Layered Templates (page 1) by Dea Spina and the font is Comic Sans MS.

This one is First day of school bus ride

Lots of journaling here so I won't spell it all out. Basically, the kids got to go to school on the first day of school on an empty bus. They didn't mind. We all thought it was funny!

This one is made also with School Stuff kit by Scrap4Brains (Cristina Guillermo) , the template by me below and the font is Comic Sans MS. It is actually a scraplift of csuramsrule's Sandis Paints at Digitals. Then I made a template out of it for everyone else to enjoy!

Here are the boys walking to the bus stop the first day of school.Wording:They just would not slow for anyone to catch up with them. I had to run to even get close.

Now I have also made another layout with this template and it will be up on the next newsletter at Digitals so go and check it out. Also, there are always some great tips and freebies there too-take a look!

So go pick up this template HERE if you want it. Enjoy!

Another layout I did with my new template. I just removed the "I". I have used Michelle Mauch's Chili Pepper Splash on this layout. I loved the colors and the brightness of it. I hope you all like the template! Go get it in the previous post!
"I" Freebie Template and lots of fun things going on!

Hello everyone! See the above ad, well it was made with a quickpage I made and you can get for free if you participate in the challenge explained below!

I know I have been quite laxed on getting things done around here but I have a new freebie for you. Go below to get it. But first take a look at our challenge at Digitals we have going. AND....We have a chat going on tomorrow afternoon and night. I will be hosting with Selana at 4:00pm EST and with Diana Burton at 8:00pm EST. I look forward to seeing everyone there.


Now the challenge this month is going to be a really fun one! We have two kits to play with and they both have a great theme about them but they don't have to be used just for that purpose. They are both very versatile.

Over the Hill Gang is by Diana Burton and I think it is just such a fun kit to play with. I love the beautiful colors and the splash of black makes it look so elegant. Now don't forget that this doesn't have to only be for birthdays it can be for anything fun!

Surfer Boy Kit is by Selana. Now this one is perfect for any type of beach or tropical pictures. But remember don't just stop there. There are so many possibilities here too. Think of all the fun photos that you can use with this kit too!
Now I finally got time and scrapped this morning. I have used my I template for these two layouts.

This first layout was done using The Road to Commencment by Nini's Notions over at Digitals. I am just getting these done for last month for the Digitals CT I am on. I feel bad that my computer died and didn't let me get these done before now but I had so much fun with this kit on this page. What a lot of fun papers to play with.
Font is Arnprior.





Okay, now you have seen what I have done with the template show me yours!

Pick up your template by clicking here for 12x12.





Or here for 8 1/2 x 11!

My Digital Quickie Pages and a new template!

Hello everyone! Boy have I missed creating. I was not sure if I could be creative enough for you all this week.

I am so pre-occupied with getting my computer information over to the new computer. Also my baby has Roseola (sp?), so he is grumpy and wants me to hold him constantly. And one more thing....

I am sure you all know that the Harry Potter book came out two weekends ago and I just started to get to read it with more intent just the last few days since I have to hold the baby. LOL! What an awesome book!!! No I will not say any spoilers don't worry but I am 3/4 of the way done. I hope to be done within the next day or so.


Now you are all probably wondering what all the quickpage previews are on the side of here aren't you? Well, I just wanted to show you my Quickies I made for the Digital Quickies challenge over at Digitals. I have been in charge of this challenge for a while now (well, since the challenge started). I love it and I get to have a lot of pages done for a nice little album. But guess what? This time it isn't going to be small it is going to be a BIG album. There are over a hundred pages in all in this challenge.
Amanda Thorderson (what a wonderful gal!) started this month for me and what a turnout we have had! I believe we have over 100 quickpages from these two kits.
The two kits are America the Beautiful by Amanda and Aunt Dorie's Doo-Dads by Glenda Ketchum
I know that it is quite late to let you know about this months but next month it is going to be just as fun. And you have until tonight to get these kits for $3 each and try to get in on the action so go for it if you can!
Next month we will be having two crops on the same day. It will be Tuesday, August 14th at 4:00pm EST, and 9:00pm EST. I hope you can meet us there. We will have attendance gifts and have lots of fun! So I hope you all can be there. I will post the kits on the 1st so you can see them. And to those who have participated keep an eye out for your outrageously large album coming!
Now, I know that most of you are here to pick up a new template! Of course! I have made one of my Quickies into a template for you. I saw this technique on a layout and added a little to it to make it to my liking. Enjoy!

Click on the image above or go HERE to pick up the template! Have a great day!

Hello from the MIA digiscrapper!

Yes, I am back and around. Just an update.

We went on our vacation and have just gotten back this morning. We were gone for a week. We had lots of fun but I spent most of the time in the hotel due to the fact our children were getting sick one at a time. Luckily, it wasn't all 6 but 3 was enough. The baby got sick the last but I believe it is teething problems. The last 3 days were misery on both the baby and myself. But we survived and are back. Oh, and don't get me started on the flight problems getting back. Let's just say it was a challenge to be in the airport for almost 9 hours before we even left for a 5 hour flight. LOL!

Don't get me wrong-we had a great vacation. The kids loved it. They got to go on a helicopter tour of the island of Ohau, and went snorkeling a few times.

BEST NEWS YET!!! I got home and my new computer was here! So.... as soon as I can get it up and running I will get going on some more things for you and my CT's. Hope to get something done today! Oh, the withdrawal I have gone through has been torture!

Monday, July 09, 2007

Okay, I am ready for a new computer!

Yes, I am around! But I am in tears (literally). All my hard work I have saved to my external hard drive is in jeopardy and it is on the fritz. I think with a lot of more hard work I should be able to save the most important things from it but not everything. If I can get my photos and my pages off then I will be happy. I am so worried though. I will be working on doing this for the next week I suspect. I guess it is time for me to look into buying another new computer! Augh!

My husband says that I go through way too many computers. I am not sure why. This one is over 4 years old though. It has out lasted any computer I have ever had. Maybe because I use it so much I drive it to the ground! I am not sure the reason but I have got to do something!

Anyhow, thank you all for being patient. I will try to not be so frustrated and get some templates done this week too but I can't promise because I can't think when I am worried or depressed! I know all this drama over a computer! No it is over my precious photos! Oh, my!

Thanks all! And those that have requested some family heritage photos I will be contacting you soon as to how to get them. Thanks again!

Going on Vacation and More computer problems

Hello all! First I have to say that I am so sad that I have not been able to get much done this past week again. I am going through withdrawal. Well, I am going to have to wait even longer now.

My computer problems have gotten worse not better. I thought I was being good and fixed it. Well, I guess I was wrong. I didn't. Now I have no internet on my main computer and I can not really get the hang of my laptop really yet. I am working on it. As you can see I am able to post but I have not had enough time to play to get anything done really. So there is no templates right now. I truly am sorry about that.

Also, we are finally leaving for vacation tomorrow morning. It is about time. We go out to the desert all the time for a few days here and there (usually on a holiday weekend) so it really isn't much time. Well, hubby and I had made an arrangement that if he got to get this trick motorhome that he wanted, that I got to use it to finally go to my family reunion in Wyoming. Well, we are both getting out way. We just got our new motorhome (that cost the price of a second home) this past Winter. And my Reunion is this coming weekend. I am so excited.

Here we come Wyoming! First we are going to the Grand Canyon and taking the train ride there. I am not quite sure what to expect. Then from there we will go up to Salt Lake City to see my mother and sister that lives there. From there we will go up to Evanston for the Rollins' Reunion. After 11 years we are finally going to go. I do not know many of my cousins. All of them are older than me. My second cousins are my age but I don't know them either. This shall be interesting.

I feel bad that we won't be going to Yellowstone though. We will be right there. Oh, well.

I hope to come back with many Templates and pages done since we are driving maybe I can get something done on the road. LOL! That is if the kids don't run my raged the whole time. And now I have 7 kids to wait on since I have my niece with us this summer.

Well, I hope you all have a great 4th of July. Have a great week and I will see you back here on either July 4th or July 5th. Take care all! Signing off now........

I scrapped without making a template!
(but H Template is in the post below this one so keep going to get to it!)
Okay, for you this is not great is it but for me it is. I just had to get something done today. Here are my pages I have finished. I actually printed the first one out and then realized that I had put the flourish over my sons eye. Oh, well!

I did the Cousins page using Doreen Stolz's A Wind of Spring from ScrappinDigiKreations.
I also used Annetje77's Round 2 template that is up on her blog. Check her blog out if you like templates. She has some pretty unique Alpha and number templates there too.


Another page that I call Hangin' On I did of my son Daniel hanging on the ramp bars at school.
Wording:
While Jonny was busy doing his musical program Daniel had fun climbing all over the ramp in his "kewl" Winnie the Pooh headband.

I used Angel Zimmer's Cherry Pie kit (Digitals is not working right now due to changing servers so I will get the link up later).

I also used Lindsay Jane Designs' Template for this layout. I just found her blog today when I was looking through IkeaGoddess' blog. What a find. I love scrapping circles.


And here is my last share for right now. I have done a page of my son Jonny at the musical program. He loves to show his colors off. I love to do theme pages like this.

Again, I have used Angel Zimmer's Cherry Pie Kit and her Blueberry Pie Kit from Digitals.

And of course, I had to use another template from Lindsay Jane Designs' blog. I thought this was really nice with the curled photo. Thanks Lindsay!

Another Template for you all! G it is so much fun!
(don't forget to read the previous post before this one!)
Yes, another one that fast. I thought since I have a couple minutes I would get this one up too. Not only did I have fun making the template to this one but I also just adore this kit. I have this thing for bugs. At least cute bugs right-the gross kind can just go away!

I did this layout with Angel Zimmer's Backyard Club Kit at Digitals. I can not remember the font sorry gals. Have fun and don't forget to pick up the Templates below. Have a great day!





Pick up the 8 1/2 x 11 here.












Templates up and Big Surprise for all you 8 1/2 x 11 scrappers!!!

First, I would like to say to all those that kept checking in this weekend- I am so sorry. My computer really hates me and I could not get into my blogger account because I could not get my connection to stay up.

Okay, guess what? I have decided that since you are all loving these templates that I would take the extra time and make them into 8 1/2 x 11 pages for all you that would like them. I got a couple requests saying they were so sad that they were not available in that size. Please understand that they are not exactly like the 12x12 but that they are pretty close. I have tried to keep the same look about them. Now all you need to do is click on the preview of the one you want and it will take you there. I do not make albums in the 8 1/2x11 format so I will not be making sample layouts with them but you can get the general idea from the 12x12 layout.

This layout was done with Silvia Romeo's Impressionist Kit which can be fond not only at Digitals but also at: Divine Digital , Natural Designs in Scrapbooking , Scrapbookers Playground , Designs in Digital , Studio Style Designs.

Here are the F Templates. I hope you enjoy them. I will be working on getting the A-D templates converted to the smaller template sizes in the next few days. Also, the new G and H templates should be up later today. Please click on the links below to get your size of template. Thanks everyone for your comments. I love to get them!

Would you like a little WHINE with that CHEESE????

Okay, nothing new again! But...guess what? I have the G and H templates done. But forgot to do F. So I will be working on it this weekend and the layouts with the templates.

I have tried to be creative this week but I have been fighting a BAD computer. BAD,BAD! I think I have some of the kinks worked out. Then today I couldn't get my external hard drive to turn on. Man my luck!

Guess what? Then this afternoon I found out that our air conditioner is gone-Dead and it has to be replaced. We can not go this summer without it. Today it is 105 degrees so no way can we survive without it. WUSS! LOL!

So, keep your eyes out this weekend for my new freebies templates F,G, and H. They have got to be done this weekend right?

Also, look at my posts below I got some pages others have done with the templates to give you more ideas. They are great! Have a fun and happy day all!

E Freebie Template and sharing an oldie!

Here is an oldie that I did for one of the newsletters for Digitals as a scraplift. I really liked this one. I can not find the page I scraplifted at the moment. I will find it later.

I used Sophia Davies' If Friends Were Flowers at Digitals.


Here is my layout with my new template E Template below. I have used Gwenevere Dupus' brand new kit When Life Serves You Lemons at SDK. To get the template please just click on the image above or go here.
ENJOY!
Layouts done by you-Thank you!!!!

I wanted to share this with you last week but for some reason I just could not get Blogger to work for me for days. That is why there is not much posts from me either. Bummer! Anyhow, I got it done and here is what I have to share!

I would like to share some layouts done by some very talented people. I love to see how creative others are with the templates. Here are some layouts that were done by Vicki Hook. Check out her blog for more wonderful work by Vicki.

The third one is "C" is for Colby. Credits: Boys Will Be Boys kit by Doreen Stolz at Elemental Scraps http://www.elementalscraps.com/shoppe/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=63

You gals are so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your work with me and letting me share it with others. Great job!

New Digital Quickies Challenge For June AND Freebie Template (not an ABC Template but still fun!)

I just wanted to first share with you the kit we are using for the Digital Quickies Challenge over at Digitals. It is called Softly Summer by Tink. What a beautiful kit!
This is a fun challenge and you get so much for doing so little. First you go and purchase the kit for 50% off. Then you make a quickpage and send it in. At the end of the month you get ALL the quickpages made with that kit for the month. Normally we have two kits to choose from but I have not heard back from the other designer. We will see if I can find another kit to feature!

Here is one of the quickpages I made with last months kit Ice Cream and Orange Juice by Joyce de Jonge. So fun! This is my son Daniel and his friend Jade. And guess what? I made a template to match. I hope you enjoy it! I actually started this one a while ago and forgot to finish it. LOL! Goofy me!
click on the image above or go here to pick it up!
And...Don't forget to head over to 1hourscrap to grab today's wordart by me. It looks like the uncle one but says Aunt.

The D Template is in the post below so don't miss it!I first want to let you know that there is always some free wordart at 1hourscrap and you don't have to order anything to get it. Just go here and it is on the bottom of the page on the left sidebar. Click it and get it! The wordart above is something I did and it is up today only so try to get over there. There is a new piece of wordart up for free at the site everyday so go check it out. Right now I am working on some cute little year markers for the kids.

This is my family enjoying the 4th of July fireworks a few years back. They just loved it. I was surprised that I was able to get some of the firework pictures. This was just so much fun!
D Template Freebie and some layouts!-Don't forget to get the A Template too (below)

Hello all! First and formost I would love to say thank you to all that have commented on my ABC Album Templates. I really do love to do these and I am glad that you are enjoying them too. I was not sure if I was going to make the templates when I first started because I thought everyone would think they were kind of goofy looking. Well, you have not idea how happy you have made me feel knowing that others could use the templates and that you liked them. Again, Thank you all! I love to read all the wonderful comments and love that you can use what I make.

Okay, now I have a few things to share with you. I did this first layout using Tink's Colourways-Saffron kit. I also used the template g from Lisa Minor. I got it off her blog. These templates are in DIP format but I just enlarge to my 12x12 size and use my magic wand to put my papers or photos in.

Well, thanks to Lisa, I had to go buy DIP myself. So I hope to get it downloaded today to try her templates out the correct way. LOL! I am so excited.

Here is my page I have done for the ABC Album for my son. This is Daniel in the hospital with his brother holding him. I believe he is one day old here.

The next line to my poem goes:
D is for Darling all the long, long day.

I have used Dea Spina's Nearly Spring kit and of coarse my D template available below.

You can pick this template up by clicking on the image above or go here.

I hope you like it. Enjoy!

C Template up and Ready all!!! And another layout done woohoo!

I actually got quite a bit done today. I spent WAY too much time on the computer. Oh, well, I guess the laundry will still be there tomorrow. Right ladies? Anyhow, I hope that I get my new album in the store real quick so I can share with you the new pages/mini-album that I made up today.
This is a page I finished with baby Travis. This is the first day he came home from the hospital almost 6 months ago. I also made this layout with the He Said, She Said Challenge at Digitals in mind. I used Angel Zimmer's Blue Paper Quilt Kit and Dea Spina's Template Sewing Time 3 (template #2), and the font is LD Antique.

Here is my layout I made for my son Daniel for his ABC Album. I am on C-Yay! I hope I can keep this up. LOL!

I just love expressions and my whole poem is about different aspects of his personality. This one is Curiosity. These are some pictures of Daniel when he was about 18 months old. What a curious child he is.

Wording:C is for curiosity,you love to be that way,

I used Angel Zimmer's Define Me Kit ; My C Template (which is available below for about a week) , and the font is LD Cutsy Curls (I think).


Please click on the preview to the left or go here to pick up the template. I hope you have fun with it!

B template ready for you to grab!

I have been busy this past weekend so I was not able to get the template out for you. We packed all day Thursday so we could leave on Friday morning but then the power went out that night and we could not finish. Of coarse, then that is not all. We started to finish Friday morning and Tony kept remembering one more thing that he needed for the weekend and kept going to the store. LOL! It took another 4 hours to finish loading up. To top it all off this was only for three days! Well, we are all back in one piece and the boys had fun with their motorcycles.

Well, that is not why you came here is it? I have done another template for you. Here is a layout I have done with the template. I have used Angel Zimmer's Color My World. The font is Ariston.

B is for bright for you are a shining star.

To pick up the new template please click on the image below or click here.



I hope you all enjoy the template. I got a few more done last night so I hope to get them up in the next few days. This template will be up until the end of the week for you all. Again, Enjoy!

Extended time on freebie!

Just wanted to let you know that I will keep the current A template up over the weekend. I am leaving for the weekend myself and had not finished the current layout with the new template. I hope you have fun this weekend. Don't do anything I wouldn't do now. LOL! Which is a lot because I am a wimp! Haha!

Have a great Memorial Weekend and I hope to have some freebies all ready for each day next week so keep an eye out!

A bit about me

I am a stay at home mother of 7 boys that keep me busy all day, but I love to create in many different ways when I have a few minutes to myself. Since my youngest is finally in the double digits, I am able to have a little more time to myself to create. I love crafting in any way, shape, or form and I would like to share that with you. I also enjoy cooking, baking, and gardening which I hope to share with you too.
