Header created with a scrap kit by the incredible Kristine at WenchdGrafix called Into The Mystic. You HAVE TO visit her store HERE and her blog HERE... what a hoot she is! The swirlys came from a 200X200 gif I had laying around on my hard drive with NO idea who created it (let me know if it's yours). I have no clue about the tube of the girl either... I got it from MQQN and thought it was cute!

Freebie papers... catching up finally!!!


Anybody want a freebie??? Is anyone interested in my failed attempt to create digital papers? Hahaha... yes, I mean failed. I was playing around with different settings and commercial use overlays and here are my results.... THIRTY-THREE digital papers... all 12x12 inch... all 300 dpi! If you want them, click the links below the preview. And please leave a comment if you snag?! Thank you.



Soooooo... what have I been doing? GOING CRAZY, ahahahaha! No, not really. December was a very long month for me. Hubby lost his license temporarily because the meds he was on gave him a bad reaction. He passed out while driving and hit a tree! All is well now (and the state decided to let him drive again!) but everything took soooo long to do because we had to rely on other people for transportation. The Friday after Christmas we were finally mobile again.

New Year's Eve was anything but eventful. DH and I rented a movie, watched a bit of TV afterward, then at 11 p.m. we watched the ball drop in New York, haha. How exciting, huh? I actually stayed up past midnight to toast in the New Year with my Sparkling Spring Mineral Water and listened to all the fireworks going off in the area.

After the 1st, I decided to do some "spring cleaning" in January... closets cleaned, furniture moved, and lots of Purple Heart donations. I'm not even close to being finished! Every day is another corner.

I even DELETED my favs folder!!! ... on purpose of course. I was spending wayyyy too much time browsing blogs and forums. So here I am starting from scratch with only 4 of my favorite blogs and 2 forums in my favorite places! This gives me so much more time to do other things.

Somewhere in all that time, I found this AWESOME forum at Osten Wilkins Designs (OWD). I have to admit that I'm addicted! It's still a fairly small group of scrappers and/or designers, but every day I see more. I even decided that will be my future gallery home for all my LOs (plus here). Below are a few of the LOs I've done with The Dude's kits. (The Dude = Osten Wilkins... he calls himself that, as does everyone else there!)

First is one I did using Winter Wonderland. This is the Christmas tree at my son Bob's house.

This one I created for the Embellish It! Challenge at OWD. It's my granddaughter Tayli building a snowman.

Here are my boys and their families... and no crying or whining kids! This was done for the Font Challenge at OWD.

And this was done for the Download-a-Day Challenge with Kimmy at OWD. The pictures are of me and my sister in 1963 at my maternal grandparents house. I miss them all!

Next up... I WON A KIT!!!! Ziggle Designs and Amanda Heimann created this gorgeous Valentine kit called Smooches (available HERE at Scrap Orchard). She chose a random reply on her CT blog and it was mine, wooohooo! Here's what the kit looks like:


And below is what I did with it! It's my darling granddaughter Emma playing in the tub. Check out how she dressed!!! Hahahaha! And the Ziggle CT blog even spotlighted it in today's post! NEVER BEFORE! You really have to check out some of the beautiful designs!

Kris,
I'm letting you know thay I had snagged the download kits and eventually use them I also leave comments in the shared4com. I think that you call it. LOve the kits and can't wait to use them. Let me know if they're not free I won't download. I think I have enough to go around. By the way I am sorry to hear about your husband's accident. I hope and pray everything to his best. God bless and thank you for the lovely kits. Nancy
