Sharing layouts - some with the SDK Mega Freebie Kit

This first layout was done with Bright Summer by SKGraham Creations at SDK.

The template was a freebie on scrappythomsen's blog. It is called Template 4.

Here are some more layouts I have done with the same kit. Or shall I say Mega Kit from ScrappinDigiKreations. Check it out because guess what they are FREE for this month only at SDK!!!!

This month ScrappinDigiKreations' On The House Mega Kit is called Summer Brights and boy are they bright! Check out their "On The House" section at SDK!!!


Here I have used the Summer Brights by SDK
I have also used another template by scrappythomsen called template 5.
Fonts: Big Truck, Bilbo-hand-Bold, Brie Light

Now the other wonderful thing I have found is TracyB is now starting to sell her templates at SDK. I was so excited because I loved her freebies on her blog. Well, now the freebies (if you miss them) are available at SDK. I used her first template set for most of these. It is called Templates with Attitude 1 by TracyB.

I have to say that I love her templates. She now has three more additional sets that I am going to have to go and snag soon. Right now she has the Templates for Commercial Use on sale so if you need some templates for your commercial use this is the time to snag them up!

These pages are of my second to the oldest son Christopher being the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz play in 1st grade (typo up there!). He was so cute. Last year my third son was in it too and they had mentioned something about Chris and how outstanding he was and that was two years prior.

Not to be biased at all but he sang a pretty awesome and loud "If I were King of the Forest!" He was born to be an actor but to him it is too much hard work. LOL! After this he wanted to be in plays but the first one he got his full of it because they had A LOT of practices and such. Oh, well.

Well, thanks all for looking! I am going to finish the rest of this bunch of pages hopefully this next week. And keep a look out because I am sure I will have a new template out soon too. Don't forget to look at the entry before this one for a freebie template.

Layouts with my new template freebie!
























Yes,I have used these photos before but I keep forgetting to take more pictures of my new babe. LOL! You wouldn't think a mother would do that right? Yeh, right! After 6 kids you forget who you take pictures of and you have haven't. Well, I guess I am going to have to make a tally system or something.

Anyhow, I thought this kit was screaming for a baby layout so I did one. This is Travis (my youngest) just a couple months ago at 3 months old.

I got the inspiration for this layout from a scrapper on scrapbook.com. I just had to do the same thing. I scraplifted Your Lil Caddy by Scrappinfoofoo.I got the inspiration for the title from the kit I used. This is Travis at 3 months old. Little cute man!
Kit: Color My World by Angel Zimmer at Digitals.
template by me (look below)
fonts: Cable Shaded, Bounce, Campbell























The next page I did is a bit different color scheme. This time you may not believe this but this is not the same baby as above in the upper left hand corner. I might have to do a comparison page here. LOL! This is actually my second to my youngest son Daniel. Of coarse, then there is Jonny and their cousins Duncan, Rory, and Siobhan.

Kit: La Boheme by Gwenevere Dupus at Scrappindigikreations.com .
Template by me (look below)
font: Bounce

Okay, now finally! Here is the template that I used. I hope you all can use it! I want to thank Scrappinfoofoo for her inspiration. She is now on my favorites! You should go and check here album out if you have time. Awesome inspiration. Maybe another scraplift gals? What do you think?
Pick up the freebie by clicking on the image above or HERE. Thanks for stopping by.

Pages done and Template up!

Hello all! I hope you all had a nice Saturday. I got some things done yesterday and today and thought I would share them with you.

First I got a quick page set done called All Stitches and Flowers. This is a 12x12 set. It is on sale for 30% off at 1hourscrap .

This is what I did with the page set. I had a doozer of a time trying to let the kids allow me to cut their hair. Chris especially did not want it cut. Poor kid. I promised I would not cut his hair as short as the rest of them. Personally, I think he looks better with shorter hair but oh, well. This is actually meant to be side by side and says:
I think a few kids really needed some haircuts. Most were not happy at first, oh well! Eventually everyone was happy!

Okay, now this is a page finished did called Muscle Man. This is my 5 year old (almost 6 on Monday) showing me his muscles while at the park last month. He just cracks me up!

Kit: Life is Good by Sophia Davies

Template: You're a Star Template by me (look below to get it)

Fonts: 2Peas Jones Neighborhood, 2Peas Oceans Crossing

And here is the template that I made for this page. I hope you all like it. It is called You're a Star Template and you can get it here or click on the image below.

Have a great day all! Happy Mothers Day!

A Hike Mini-Album and a Template Freebie!

My husband took my boys on a hike a few days back and came back with some great pictures so of coarse I had to scrap them all!

I used the kits: Colourways-Lime and Colourways-Indigo by Tink at Digitals.

I used the following templates : Template 74 by Andrea Gold, Template 56 by Andrea Gold, Panoramic Star Template by me (freebie below), Template 62 by Andrea gold, and a sketch by Chiara.

I had a lot of fun making this album. I hope you enjoyed looking at them.

And of coarse a freebie template for you all! This one I made the tree page with above (third page). I just took the stars off but I like the stars on there it just looked fun I thought. Enjoy all! Click on the image or here.

Please leave a comment if you can, that would be nice. Thank you all that have left comments I really appreciate it! I am so surprised at all the downloads. That is so great! I am glad that you like my templates!

See you later! I am about to fall asleep on my keyboard! LOL!

My son Turns 11,Doing a Challenge, and a Freebie Template

I guess you could say that I have been busy. I don't get all my pages done up on my blog but I am going to try to. And at the same time I will try to have at least one freebie (usually a template) everytime I post. Sorry this is a long post so please bare with me.
.






















I did these three pages with pictures from my oldest sons Birthday Dinner Celebration.

This is my son Matthew turning 11.
Wording:
I think someone is happy to be turning 11. What do you think? Happy Birthday!

All of the following pages were made using the kit:
Summer Brights by Kim Smith at SDK.
The template used here is template Roi by digiscrap.ch .
Fonts: LD Shady, LD Party Time

This one I used Template dechire by digiscrap.ch . Fonts: LD Christmas Carol, LD Artsy

This one I used template ronde by digiscrap.ch . Fonts: LD Shady, LD Party Time

I have to say that I really did enjoy doing these pages. I just love bright colors!


I did the following page as a challenge at ScrappinDigiKreations blog. This is TracyB's mixed bag challenge.

First challenge for May: Scraplift yourself. Pick two of your layouts and lift parts of them to create a brand new layout. You can use the colors from one, the photo placement of another, etc. Anything like that. So I did it.

First I scraplifted the style from my layout called "What IS the matter?" found here . Then I scraplifted the color scheme from my "What a great big brother" found here. I think this is a great challenge and very fun! Why don't you all try it out. You also get a freebie that corresponds with SDK's mega kit for the month (which by the way is free too!).

For this layout I used the Kit: Lime Sherbert by SKGraham Creations ; Template: Strips of Paper Template by me (freebie below) ; font: Present

Here is the freebie for today. I hope you like it! Please click on the image below or go here.

Enjoy!

Come join us over at Digitals for some great Treasure hunt,daily downloads,and more! We will have lots of fun!

Easter Layout and Freebie Template!

Hello all! I was so shocked to see all the comments. I really appreciate all of them. I would love to see what you do with any of them. If you want - don't hesitate to send me an e-mail showing me what you have done and I will put it up here on my blog.

Well, I do have another template for you all. Here is what I did with it. I also, have another layout I did with this in the Digitals Newsletter for Early May. Check it out!

Here is my layout! I used the Kit: Velveteen Rabbits by Gwenevere Dupus at ScrappinDigiKreations.

Here is the freebie template for you. I hope you have fun with it! I am so sorry but the link has been removed to make room for more!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments!

Digitals CT and Freebie Template!!!!

Did I ever tell you that I made the Digitals Site CT Team! I am so excited and I get to meet all the designers and use their products. Isn't that exciting! I have been a member of a few designers CT's over there for quite some time. I love the atmosphere over at Digitals and they are so fun to be around. I am just so thrilled to have been picked.

This month I am the CT for Tink. You can go see her blog here.I have always loved her designs and now I get to play with them. The first kit I get to play with is her Colourways-Lime kit. It is so much fun! Here is the layout I have done with it.
I used Black Chancery as my font here. A very simple yet nice font. I do have to say that I love how his eyes turned out on this one. He is such a handsome boy. He looks just like my husband did at this age. Shocking right!? Not!

I did get this idea from a fellow scrapper though. I have another layout I have done like this that I scraplifted for the Digitals Newsletter but the kit I used has not been put in the store yet so I still have it sitting in my to send box. I scraplifted You are my one and only made by Luiza Garay .

Anyhow, I loved it so much I had to do a template to match. I hope you all like it!!!


Here is the template. I am sorry but this link has expired so I can upload more fun templates for you!


Leave me some love if you have time. Thanks bunches and have a great day!

Dying Easter Eggs and Freebie Template

Here is the template I made if you would like it(click on image):

Thanks for looking. Have a great day!

Okay, yes, I have been scrappin' lately and keep forgetting to post. But first I have to show you a post of a very funny gal that I have been CTing for over at SDK for about a year. She just cracks me up sometimes. But sometimes she really hits home. I have to share part of her last post with you all. This is from TracyB's Blog. Think about this now-LOL!!!

This Just In:The SBG (Scrapper's Butt Group) has released the the following new clip to the public. Scrapper's Butt Plague has broken out in Northern California and is "spreading" to other areas. It seems to be mainly affecting Digital Scappers. The long hours spent in front of the computer, neglegting housework and other hobbies and the hunched position that is all associated with digi-scrappin all seam to be factors in the "spread" of the plague. You should do this at home test ASAP to see if you have been infected. Get up from computer....walk to full length mirror...(are your thighs slapping together like two puppies fighting? that is the first indicator)...grab small hand held mirror......face away from full-length mirror while looking in small mirror and look at your butt. Has it grown out of control without you even knowing it? You might Have Scrapper's Butt. The SBG recommends 40mins of aerobic activity, the removal of all snack food from house, the limiting of scrapbooking for awhile and walking around in reallllly tight jeans to remind you of how big your butt has gotten.

Please pass this along to all of your friends....remember....friends don't let friends get big butts!

Also, check out her cute little food journal freebie over at her blog.

Why does this hit home for me? Well, why do you think? I just had a baby 5 months ago (almost) and I am now 20 lbs heavier than after delivery. Pathetic. Yes. Of coarse this has happened with each of my pregnancies. Now think about doing this 6 times and imagine where I am at now. FRUSTRATEDVILLE!

My husband also has been pushing me to join a gym for the past few weeks because we both need to "get in shape" he says. LOL! More me than him. Goof ball! Anyhow, so he goes and joins and is telling me all about the one he joined and is pushing me to go check it out. Then after him pushing even more the next day I just said "Fine! Just sign me up then". He gets a smirk on his face and hands me my gym card. Oh, my goodness. Is he hinting or what. Who wants to smack him for me. Just kidding but I felt like it.

So I am going to take TracyB's challenge of getting off my butt more and not scrapping as much (during the day). Yes, that would be such a sacrifice on my part. I will try to limit my time to at night only. Bummer huh.

Well, enough of that. I hope you all have a fun and healthy day!

My Family Portrait at Easter!

I got a page done with a great kit. It is made with Angel Zimmers Color My World at Digitals. I love the colors and the patterns in this kit. I also used Angel's Grunge Bent Photo Frames which are just so fun! And of coarse, the template is none other than Jaana Säker's (template 9). I just love Jaana's templates!

Here are some pages I just made up using the quickpages I have done for 1HourScrap. I adore this kit and made some quickpages for both pool and beach photos. Everything is 30% off at the store this month for our birthday celebration.

Here is the link to take you to my portion of the store if you want them.

Here is a picture of a layout I did for the It's ELEMENTary challenge at Digitals for March. I had a lot of fun with it. I had so much fun that I made a template to go with it. I hope you like it.

To download it go here.

I did another quickpage set that I would like to show you. Just click on the photos to go grab it at 1HourScrap.

Here is what I did with them:

Kit: Moonlit Path by Sophia Davies

Fonts: OldCentury, P22 Ruthie

Okay, I have found a few designers that I just adore. I am just too addicted! Augh! What am I going to do? Anyhow, last week I found a chat going on right when I am able to get on. It is at The Daily Scrap. Which by the way, is home of Rebecca Myers and Cheryl Whitesel. They both have become a favorite of mine. Especially when I look at this kit. It is so huge I can not even believe it.

Anyhow, so I found this kit: Walk on the Beach by Rebecca and Cheryl. I was so stoked!

Then, today I was looking at some e-mails in a group I am in (which was my very first yahoo group I ever joined!-Tutstagsandstuff). And a lady there shared this blog with some template freebies so I had to go there: http://yaaniz.blogspot.com/index.html

Her name is Jaanas. She has some wonderful freebies and some wonderful products at her site: http://www.scrapyard.se/

See what happens to me when I go browsing! Augh! What am I going to do? I am now hooked on more things that I can imagine. Well, ad this layout is what came about all of this browsing. So I hope you all like it! I had lots of fun with it! See that is why I can never become a designer-I need all this time to play and browse! LOL!

Kit: Walk on the Beach by Rebecca Myers and Cheryl Whitesel

Template: Freebies Template 7 by Jaanas on her blog!

These are some pictures I just took today. I first wanted to get some pictures of baby Travis and was excited that he was cooperating. Then Daniel came in and saw me taking pictures and had to get in on the action. Then of coarse Jonny got excited too. Thank goodness this is where it stopped since the other boys are in school. It would not have stopped though because all of my kids are NOT camera shy if you know what I mean. LOL!

I loved doing this because a lot of the work was done for me. The circle frames were already made. Yippee! Making my life just so much easier.
