I am scrapping again thanks to all the challenges out there.

I have joined a group called ScrappingTwisters - it is a yahoo group. I love this group. They also help you find a lot of the cool freebies out there. They are doing a challenge to scrap about what you like. My first page for this month was about Family. Here is the page I have done for this challenge:

Kit: Rough & Tumble Paper Pack and Rough & Tumble Element Pack both by Broken Jar Creations
Fonts: Kingsthings Whizzbang, LoosieScript
Both of these fonts are the fonts I am featuring for the Font Challenge over at Do It Digi! You should come on over and play. Not only are these great fonts but once you have received 10 points from doing challenges you can earn an Inspiration Kit. Here is this months:

Q Template freebie link is fixed.

Sorry about the problem with the link. I appreciate you gals letting me know that it wasn't working. But I am going to give you all a link to the folder of all my freebies so go ahead and grab them all if you haven't already!

I know that I still need to get going on the PNG files but I was hoping to get them done in a PNG+ file but that program still isn't working on this Vista! Augh!

Thanks all for your interest. Have a great day!

A new template freebie for you! And a LOT of pages done! Take a look at my new pages done for the ABC album I am starting again!





















Here is my A page. I am doing this album for the whole family. I hope they like it when it is done!

Yes, this is my boy that thinks he is a Muscle Man. LOL! Believe it or not this is just a few months ago. It was pretty hot that day. And yes, his undies are on backward. That is just how he does it!

Well, I hope you all like this new template. I had fun making it. I got the idea from a page I saw in The Ultimate Guide to Digital Scrapbooking. So click on the image to take you to the templates. The PNG files are in these too.

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!
