Merry Christmas

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday. Our presents are wrapped, the barbie house is put together, and the kids are asleep. Here is hoping there are happy with what they find tomorrow morning.

Oh, and you know you have a great husband, when he tells you to find him a barbie, so that he can measure the correct height for the lightswitch sticker while putting your daughters barbie house together.

3 More Freebie Downloads!

Aren't you all feeling lucky? If not, get in a warm shower and throw a empty shampoo bottle at the wall, making it crash as loud as possible. its very theraputic i promise, it makes it feeling like you are going on a tirade around your house throwing things and venting, which we cant do. But empty shower bottles at shower walls, totally ok. Try it. You'll see. Sorry, I rambled.

Anyway, we have the missing day 13 for you, and we also have a bonus for being so patient waiting for day 13, and we have todays, day 16!

Day 13
Bonus
Day 16

Hope you enjoy them all!

When it rains... it pours....and a new kit and sampler


Ugh, sick kids are no fun. Husbands that are forced to make wills prior to going to Iraq, dont tell you about it, and then come home and hand it to you arent the greatest mood improvers either. Atleast completing lots of layouts and getting a new kit completed are good for the mood. I decided to make a little sampler for you out of this kit. I have had lots of fun destressing time scrapping with it today. I hope you will too! You can pick the full kit up in the Brownie Scraps store. If you download the sampler, I would love it if you left a comment! Reading them really is fun and rewarding.

The sampler includes 4 papers and 5 elements from the kit.

Winter Princess Sampler Pack



This one was done with todays piece, and one of my pieces ( that you guys dont have yet ) of the December collaboration. Don't forget to keep coming back every day to pick up your pieces of the free Mega Kit. This was done for Carmen, the Crazy Sombereo 's Challenge over at Brownie Scraps.
You also still have time to go over and join in the CT competition. It wont close until the end of Sunday, as long as you can get your first challenge layouts in on time, you can still join in.

we now have 2 sick kids, and a 5th download for you


Well we have migrated from 1 sick kid. We now have TWO sick kids. Donnie went to the party last night, and was smart enough to come home saying it was just ok, and would have been better if i was there. You still have till Sunday night to join in our CT call, so if you want to participate, head on over to brownie scraps.

Here is your 5th download, this one made by Sharon of Designs by Sharon. Ive seen what is inside and its awesome.

Brownie Supreme Bake off - CT CALL!!!! and a Free QP






Are you excited by that title? I know I am ! We are having a Huge CT call competition. There are no eliminations, no points, just scrapping, and choosing our new CT members. But we would like to get to know you, and this will give you time to get to know us, and get comfortable in our community. And that is important, because we want our CT to be active in the awesome Brownie Scraps Community!

So to enter here is what you need to do, go to this thread, and read all the details and follow the instructions =). We will be looking for general store CTs, as well as CTs that will specialize for each designer. Each designer will be looking for 1-2, so thats 8-16 spots. We will also have few general store CTs, so as you can see, since right now we only have 4 people, that is a big gap to fill! Personally I will be looking for 2 people to specialize as my CT. So if you like my products, please GO SIGN UP. Being on the CT will not only give you access to ALL my products for free, but the entire store!

Speaking of my products, I have a new kit coming out this weekend for this weeks designer challenge. Here is a quick page i did for you of it! and the kit preview. Pick up the kit for free here for this week only

Finally a New kit and New Freebie!


I haven't deserted you guys, I promise. It has just been a busy week. I have 2 freebies and a new kit to launch today! Bri was sick this week, and of course to a 5 year old, that means that the world is ending. So she and her brother have kept me running all week waiting on " the little princess " as she has taken to calling herself. She has also really been acting up even before she got sick. But even the doctor commented on how incredibly smart she is, so i really think that part of her behavior issues is related to her being so dang smart, that she just thinks of very creative ways to try things, that she shouldnt do. I think I need to find a way to challenge her brain more, in more constructive ways.

Last night we had Heidi ( the kids sitter ) come over and watch the kids, so we could go see Twilight. It was pretty good. Ive seen all the yucky reviews, and yeah it was funny at times at serious moments cause of the way it was acted, but i sort of think it was supposed to be that way. It was an unbelieveable story, that was almost real. And there was a lot of laughs in the book. It only makes sense that that was translated onto the screen. It should have been longer, so that they could have really gone more in depth to it. Yes, it lost some of the book because we werent reading the thoughts as much, and it was just impossible i think to really translate to the screen, what an amazing thing that series is. But it was a pretty good attempt. And I dont think that a lot of the laughs were so much because of the acting, as it was that we knew what thoughts were behind the moments. I think most people that see it, are people that have read the book, and so we KNOW. We know what they are thinking, and feeling, and trying not to do. So it just somehow leads to laughter seeing those moments played out in front of us.

I think that Rob did a great job as Edward. There were moments where he wasnt what i pictured, but thats probably because the guy i pictured isnt real. You could definitely see some of Midnight Sun in his acting of certain moments. He really took what he learned from that, and played it from that perspective instead of twilights perspective as far as what he showed expression and emotion wise. And I think that will be difficult for some people that havent read midnight sun to understand, because it isnt strict to what they learned in twilight. Anyway, apart from one scene that annoyed me as far as changes go, i loved it!

Anyway, onto the freebies!
We are doing our designer challenge for you again over at Brownie Scraps, so I will have a new freebie every week for the next 8 weeks ( they come out on fridays ! )
Here is this weeks. I am calling it Forget the Blues, because to me it is very cheerful and happy! Its available in the Brownie Scraps store for Free this week. and will be $2 next week and on.

Here is my Brand new kit. It is sort of fantasy, soft, sparkly and magical! It will be great for winter pictures, spring pictures, little girl pictures, and even some little boy pictures. I really hope you like it. I also made some quick pages to give you from this kit. You can pick the kit up in the store, and the quick pages here

What I am Working on

I first want to say thank you for all the sweet comments on my last post, they have really helped pull me out of my blue mood, and make me not feel so alone.

Secondly, I wanted to update to what I am working on, and thats actually a few things :

First off, we are going to be doing a very special 25 Days of Christmas over at Brownie Scraps. There will be a download for each day, and each days download will have a few goodies for you. They will all be in holiday theme, and with the same color palate, so if you download them all, you will have a HUGE kit for FREE! and these wont just be page items, we are doing gift tags, and all kinds of FUN holiday stuff for you guys. I really hope that you enjoy it as much as we are enjoying making it for you. You will find stuff from all the great Brownie Scraps designers in there, so there will definitely be some good stuff.

Also, I am working on a kit that was inspired by my shower curtain ( yes, its true ) but it will be another soft kit, sort of like Heirloom romance, so I hope you guys like it. I am hoping to get that done by the end of this weekend, but I am not sure.

I got my calendar for 2009 done that i am gonna order for our family, and I am hoping to turn that into 13 quick pages to give away for free as well for you guys. So keep checking back for those also. It will have a little bit from all my kits to give you a nice feel of my stuff. Plus will make for some quick holiday gifts if you are short on time like i am!

Well i have to go chase down my 2 year old ( dont ask, what isnt he into today? ) so check back soon!
Oh and while you are waiting for me to create some new stuff, go visit Ramona's blog, and pick up her free word art, plus her new kit is going to be free also!

Happy Veterans Day...... Unsung Heroes Freebie









Well tomorrow is Veterans Day, and the closer we get to Thanksgiving and Christmas the more I am stressing and worrying about my husband deploying the first week in January. The holidays have sort of been ruined for me this year, I just cant seem to make myself look forward to them.

I decided to make a kit about it, and as a gift, I am putting the word art contained in the kit ( as well as the two elements shown on the word art preview ) available for free. To top it off, the full kit is on sale for %50 for Veterans Day on November 11th and 12th. I hope you enjoy it. *** editing to add that the typo on the preview on " breath " isnt on the word art in the download, so dont let that stop you from downloading, i just havent redone the preview ( thanks Janet! ) Click the links below to download

So i've been playing around with my new kit, and then this morning over at Brownie Scraps Eileen posted her challenge to do a layout all in red!
