Time for our fun Christmas Carol Blog Hop! Christmas Freebies!

Time for the Studio's annual Christmas Carol Blog Hop!  In the past couple of years, some of the Studio designers have created kits inspired by Christmas Carols.  Last year I did Blue Christmas which is still available and very popular at my stores!  This year I chose the song, Sleigh Ride, and it was fun to create, but now I need to go on a sleigh ride, but it's too dang cold around here lately!!

Here is my kit, Sleigh Ride. 

 And here is a list of the wonderful and talented designers participating in this fun Blog hop today!!

LDS Blog Train!!

For this theme, we are doing vintage, heritage, family history or genealogy type of kits.  I absolutely LOVE family history.  If I am not designing a new kit or scrapbooking, I am searching and researching one of our family lines.  Wait till you see all the beautiful kits all the designers have created for this!  Here's a slide show of all the contributions to OF NOBLE BIRTHRIGHT.

And here's my contribution.

Your next stop is DesignZ by DeDe! Or if you've missed anyone, a complete list of participating designers can be found at The LDS Blog Train site.

Freebies time!

Wow, I am so slow at getting these freebies out to everyone.  But seriously, no one ever told me pneumonia could be so bad.  I have to say this is definitely the most sick I have ever been in my 41 years...  I think I'm finally nearing the end of it all, but it has been tough, and I'm still not exactly full of energy.  Enough about me, Spring is FINALLY here in our part of the world so here are two more Brag book pages for you today!  Made by my talented CT, Diana, aka camperchow from my kit Wild Thing, available in my stores now.
Click here for Pages 7 and 8:)

I'll be back with the final two pages of this fun Brag Book next week!  Have a great day:)

TWO freebies Today!

For your patience, I am giving away TWO sets of these beautiful Bragbook pages by my wonderfully talented CT, Diane aka camperchow.

Click here for Part 2 and Part 3.  Or click each image for the pages.  I'll have two more parts, so if you grab each part, you'll have10 coordinating pages made from my Wild Thing kit available at the Studio and DID now.  Sales at both stores so be sure to check them out!

LDS Blog Train!

I'm so excited to participate in my first LDS Blog Train. Last month they did the theme of Eternal Marriage, and the papers and elements and everything just turned out gorgeous!

So I couldn't resist joining in this month when I heard the theme would be Called to Serve. I myself served as a missionary back in 1997-1999 in Thailand, Bangkok!

So it really is a theme close to my heart! For more information on this church and its missionaries, go to http://ldschurch.org/

You don't want to miss any of the beautiful contributions to this theme from all the talented designers contributing this month.


Here is my contribution. It contains 3 papers and 8+ elements. Click on image for kit or click here. The password (of course) is Thailand.

I am the last Designer in the list, but if you jumped on somewhere in the middle, your next stop would be Robyn of http://robynpalidesigns.blogspot.com/ or you can go to http://ldsblogtrainblog.blogspot.com/ for a complete list of participating designers.
 
I hope you enjoy your lovely new kit, and have a great day!

A beautiful and enjoyable Progressive Scrap!

For my first time ever at hosting a Progressive Scrap, I think I did okay considering I came down with a severe case of Pneumonia near the end! But everyone was so nice and patient and the layouts are just gorgeous!! Hurry over and vote on your three favorite, but trust me it is hard!

And of course I can't compete in my own Progressive Scrap but I played along and came up with this layout of my girls at the Tulip Gardens Festival which I really really like! It is from my now finished ANTIQUE GARDEN kit newly released!


And I now have a new laptop which I am posting this from mostly because I am in bed with this awful pneumonia, and it is just not fun!!

So I was going to give away my next beautiful set of Bragbook pages away but they are not yet on this computer as I had thought. I promise they will be here tomorrow!

Wild Freebie time!

My wonderful CT, Diane aka camperchow has taken my kit Wild Thing and made some gorgeous bragbook pages!!! I'll be giving them away on my blog starting today so make sure to check back so you can collect the entire Bragbook collection!
Here are the first two pages:

And to get FREE papers and elements from my new kit, Antique Garden, come play in this week's Spring Progressive Scrap which I am also hosting at the Studio now!

New Beginnings & Kits

Well, I kind of missed the boat on succeeding in one of my New Year's Resolutions this year... which of course was to blog more often! So... now it is March.

But I've decided I will start my "Resolution" now at the start of Spring! So starting next week, I will start blogging at least once a week. Wish me luck! :) Life just gets so busy all the time! But the kids are getting older and I should have more time, right? Riiiiight.

Please check back as early as tomorrow or Monday for your freebie. Here is a preview of my kit, Wild Thing, which one of my wonderful CTs has taken and made into lovely Bragbook pages which I will start giving away then so stay tuned!
