The elements are done!

So I'm calling the elements done. The perfectionist in me isn't 100% happy, but the logical part of me tells me this isn't too bad for my first go. So, what do you think? I wanted to scrap with it before sharing, but I'm ready to move on to something else.
I'm thinking a boyish kit (for you Li) or maybe a birthday themed since Andrew will be two in April. There's a link for the alphas and elements. There were also two links for the papers and I noticed they weren't downloaded equally.

ELEMENTS
ALPHAS



I did squeeze in some time to do this page of Allison using Ziggle Designs and Studio Ziska's Forest Friends collab available at Scrap Orchard. I love this kit! It's so bright and cheerful and I love all the little critters. Recognize the layout? I used one of my own templates.



It's been a nice weekend so far. Today's the first time Randy hasn't worked on a Saturday in a long time. I've enjoyed it, but know Monday's going to come too fast. Tomorrow's going to be a cleaning day. My house so needs it, but I just haven't had the motivation to get it done.

Lots to share plus a Freebie!

First of all, sorry I didn't get around to yesterday's template. Life got in the way. Thursday night, Allison didn't sleep. At all. Yesterday, I took the kids to Meijer (45 minutes away) to go grocery shopping by myself. Let's just say that it was an adventure. Little old me pulling two carts around the store. We were all in bed by 9 last night and now here I am at 5:30 a.m. up.

Have you heard about the new website Digiscrap Addicts? It's a brand new site that is just plain awsome!! Head on over there and get a feel for it. There are some freebies, which are all awesome, plus giveaways and all kinds of stuff. It wasn't technically supposed to open til April 1st so there are a few things still missing. They also have a CTM enabling thread and a place to share member freebies! Lots of stuff there!

Next, I'm really excited to say that I'm now on Matahati Designs creative team!!!! She is one of my favorite designers and I believe I have all of her stuff. I'm still so thrilled about it! Her and Faith True teamed up again and made this awsome kit Vintage Charm

Here's a page I did using it. I really can't wait to use it some more!

SherrieJD has been putting out some AMAZING stuff lately and I've been the bad CT that hasn't been using any of it :( I did however do a page using her Kitschy Kitchen kit that is just awesome! There are so many vintage elements that I just adore in it.

Studio Ziska is a guest at Scrap Orchard this month and has paired up with Pineapple Plantation Designs on this beautiful Delicate Garden kit. It's so soft and pretty.

I love the way this page turned out!

Julie Marie paired up with Danielle Corbitt to make this cute Girls Night Out kit! Isn't it fun? And it's on sale right now!

Here's a layout I did, when my cousin finds out I shared this, she'll probably kill me, so if I disappear that's why :) (I'm the one wearing the Nike t shirt. Remember when those were cool?

And finally, hey I the title said lots to share, Here's your template! I based it on this layout I did about one of our visits to the Allstate 400 (which we still call the Brickyard 400) Hope you enjoy!

That's it for now. I'll be back later this afternoon to give you my last template. I'm kind of sad. I've enjoyed the company! Thanks again to everyone who has left me comments. Big thanks to those of you who took the time to say more than thank you! It really does mean a lot.

Some info and my 6th freebie

First of all, sorry I ran out of bandwidth(?) It shows that I've only used 30mb out of my 1gb. I'm not sure about box.net though. I used it for the ScrapMatters competition and have always used 4shared before. I will edit the links and put new ones up for 4shared tonight.

Thanks for helping me figure out my sizing problems. For some reason my resolution got bumped up. Not sure how that happened, but I fixed it. Also, I'm kind of dumb with the technical computer stuff and have no idea how to tell someone to open .rar files. My DH put it on the computer and I didn't realize that it was any different than other zipped files. I do know that the program is WinRaR that I use.

Okay, now to the fun stuff!!

I was just informed that Scrap Orchard is going to have a BOGO sale March 17-19 and they are giving away a free kit on there blogs!!! How exciting! You will start at Scrap Orchard's blog here and blog hop your way to a very very cute kit! I'll post a preview Tuesday.

Do you ever have the problem that nobody ever comes over to your house right after you clean? It's always when you let things go and the floors are littered with toys, clothes and whatever else your kids (husbands too) leave there. You haven't done dishes and the sinks piled up. You haven't showered and still in your pajamas at three in the afternoon. That's kind of how I feel about this blog. I started this mainly when I got on my first creative team. I've posted pages for a couple of family members and I have 4 followers. I'm kind of embarrased about my lack of creativity with this little space of mine and now that people have seen it, I feel like I need to clean it up a little. I was thinking about this earlier and looked around my house and realized this was my house today! So I spent all day cleaning and just now got on the computer.

Here's my next template freebie!

I just looked to see if I had other options but the .rar and I can make it a .zip file. Is this the more common choice? Here's the link to the .zip file:

I used it to create this layout for Bren Boone's brand new color challenge at Scrap Orchard. You really need to participate because her freebie is so worth it, plus you'll earn points towards a SO discount! I used Pineapple Plantantion Designs and Franziska Altmann's Delicate Garden collab, it's so soft and pretty!

New color challenge starting soon at Scrap Orchard

I'm so excited about this! And isn't this ad fantastic! You will definitely want to try this out. The freebee is sooo worth it!
