Splish Splash Collab and Freebie

Check my blog for a new freebie  that coordinates with the Splish Splash Mega Collaboration Kit.

New Templates and Creme Center QP Freebie

We are snowed in; expecting another 10 or 15 inches on top of the 34 we got last week. Yay! I don't have to go to work and we have power still so I am loving it. Although, I wasn't loving it as much yesterday when it took me an hour and 45 minutes to travel 30 miles to work.

Wanna these awesome CU Tears for free? Go to Plain Digital Wrapper, sign up in the forum and complete one challenge and we can both win them. Just make sure you mentioned that you were referred by Scraps of Candy when you post your layout for the challenge.


My new template pack is on sale now for only $2.



I love seeing what people do with my templates. These two were made by Carole.





This gorgeous one was made by DJ.


I did manage to get one layout done last week at the Friday Night Speed Scrap at Gotta Pixel. (Thanks, Connie Prince!)


This was made using Romantic Blues by Alexis Designs.


It is been awhile since I did a quickpage for you and I really liked this layot so I thought I would share it with you. It was made using Creme Centers by Julie. It is. Enjoy! Download here. It looks like the coordinated freebie for Creme Centers is still active on her blog too. The word art in it would go perfectly with this quickpage!


Happy Scrapping!

iDSD Freebie 2 - Quickpage

How about a second freebie. I have a quickpage for you made with Fall or Nothin' by Dani's Delusions. You can grab it here.

Here is my layout.

Algernon Quickpage Freebie

I forgot to show you Algernon by Julie. It is. last night. I love the papers in this kit; so much so that I have done four layouts with it already.


So . . . I thought I would make you a quickpage from it so you can see how gorgeous it is too. You can get it here.

Make sure you take my poll over on the top right side of my blog about whether you would rather have a quickpage or a template as a freebie.

Happy Scrapping.

Bad, bad blogger . . .and MSS Blog Train

Sorry I have been MIA. It has been a crazy few weeks and I just got back in town from my Grandma's funeral and my son's birthday party. Unfortunately, I didn't have much of an Internet connection where I was.

I am happy that my template challenge at Pretty Scrappy is going well. I was a little nervous about it. You can check out all the great layouts from my template here. You can still get the template here too until the end of the month.

Plus, I had so much fun making that template, I decided to make a template for the posting bonus for my themed quote challenge over at Hummie's World for May.


Remember the RAK I got from Donna Duncombe? I used the layout I did with it to base my template on.


Now, how about some quickpages? You can get them both here on Mediafire.

These were made using the April Showers & May Flowers Collab from the designers My Scrap Shop.


You can also pick up more quickpages from this kit on the blogs below later this week. I am going to be out of town for my anniversary so wanted to make sure I got mine up before I left.

Win $5 and Spring It Quickpage Freebie

What a nightmare the 4Shared mess has been. Hope it didn't get your computer. I was able to catch it before it did any damage to mine fortunately. So in light of that, I have moved several of my items to a new file host, either box.net or for larger files, MediaFire. I haven't moved all of them because I just don't have time but if you see something you want and don't see an alternate link, just let me know and I will move it over to some place else for you.

I got my new version and MemoryMixer and am pleased. I will write a review about all the new things I love later. :D Right now though, I thought I would have a little contest. I won a $5 Gift Certificate to Julie.Itis's store and being the wonderful designer that she is, she gave me permission to give it away to one of my readers. Isn't that awesome? So I thought I would give you two chances to win. You can do either one of these or both for two chances to win. If you do both, just make sure you leave two separate comments, one for each thing you did. I'll pick a winner on March 22.

1) Create a layout with one of my quickpages and post a link in the comments on this post to where I can see the layout.
and/or
2) Go to Julie.Itis's store at Plain Digital Wrapper, pick out what you would spend your $5 on then come back here to this post and comment and tell me what you would buy and what pictures you would scrap with it,

Easy, right???? Now go, oh wait, don't go yet, I have a freebie for you too. This is from Julie's new kit Spring It.


Here is a little quickpage I made for you from it. (Hosted on Box.net.)


Here is my layout I made the quickpage from. I did it for the Ampersand Challenge at Hummie's World.


Happy Scrapping.

It won't be in the local stores and at MemoryMixer.com until March 5 though.

They will also be offering an upgrade option at the end of March if you just want to upgrade the functionality and not get the new content.

(Hope they don't mind me sharing this information from their newsletter but here is what I know about it . . .)

What is included with Version 3?

New & Improved functionality like . . .
Fill a Font
Background Builders

Muddy Fun and a Pretty Freebie Too

Miss me? I have been busy scrapping, dealing with computer woes again (same problem as before - my laptop is at the manufacturer for repair AGAIN!), and taking care of a little one with strep throat. Poor guy - he is so miserable and lethargic it almost makes me miss his mischievous ways. But never fear, his sister has been mischievous enough for the both of them the last two weeks.

Want to see what have I been scrapping?

First I worked with the new collab at Pretty Scrappy called Rough and Tumble. I made a couple of quickpages which are included in the 21-Page Quickpage Album that is free with a $15 purchase at Pretty Scrappy for the next couple of weeks. One of them I haven't finished the journaling on yet so it isn't shown here.

This one is a two page spread from our family reunion last year. I am so glad these kids weren't getting in my car to go home! The second page of this is part of the quickpage album at PS.

Then after all those boys pages I had done, I thought it was time to pretty it up a little. Julie. Itis.'s sweet new kit, Lovebug Serenade was just the change I was looking for.

There was a challenge at Pretty Scrappy that had a template by Teri Mayo to make a Starbucks coffee cup tumbler which looked interesting. I am more of hot chocolate kind of girl and have only been to Starbucks once in my life because of that, so I decided to make it a layout instead.


Then it was time for something a little bolder (and in my favorite color combo too). I got the new kit, Music of the Soul by Darhena from My Scrap Shop.

Apparently though, I still wasn't ready to give up on pretty yet so I made this layout for one of the new challenges at My Scrap Shop. The prize this month made by Pillowgirl is awesome and I had one more part to get the whole kit so I figured why not do the poetry challenge. The poem I used for this is by Thena Smith, whom I got a chance to chat with through the Technique Challenge at Hummie's a couple of months ago. Thena is such a sweet lady and has some very inspirational poetry both on her blog and in the several books she has published. She is sure to inspire you to make some layouts that will be cherished for years to come.

I did Round 1 of the ADSR challenge which was at Hummie's even though I am not in the race. I used Fruit Stripe Summer by Julie. It is. and the torn paper templates by Hummie (which I modified) for this.

The prize for the challenge which she also opened up to non-racers were four templates. Some of them you already saw last post because she gave them out at the New Year's Eve chat. This one was Template 48. I used Darhena's Music of the Soul for it as well.

I was also inspired by a remake I saw for Challenge 3 on the ADSR (Hi Dani!) :) and so I redid the cover for my daughter's baby book - again.

I made this one into a quickpage for you. You can get it here.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Baby Boy Layouts and PhotoOp Quickpage Freebie

So did you survive the holiday season and now have everything all put away and ready to do it again next year? I posted some of the many pictures I took over on my family photo blog but still have many more to post. It told me I had reached my upload limit for the month so I had to wait until the first before I could post again. I managaed to get some scrapping done, mostly while traveling last week. I have been working on my son's baby book. I found some missing pictures a few months ago that never made it to my computer so I needed to get those scrapped since I had already completed that part of his book.

Here is what I got done in no particular order . . .

This one was done using Back to School papers and Felty Frames both by Julie. It is.

This one was done using Industrial Elf by Julie. It is.

I used the Tis the Season Collab by Peppermint Patty Productions and Pillowgirl.

I used Christmas in June again by Kikkin Kreations for this one.

This was done using some things I made for a collab I was working on last summer that fell through. I named my part of the kit Summer Road Trip.

I love this picture of my son. He is so happy! I need to go back and fix the red eye on the picture though. It was made using RazMaTazz by Julie. It is.

For this one, I used Tis the Season by Peppermint Patty Productions and Pillowgirl Scraps.

Hummie had an impromptu chat on New Year's eve and I got this one done.

I mentioned to someone at the chat that I was looking for something techie to scrap the pictures I was working on and she immediately recommended Techno-Bytes by Lindsay Jane. It was perfect and on sale too so I just had to get it!

This one I did for the January 1-15 Template Challenge at My Scrap Shop.

I used the I Love Music Collab Freebie by MCA Designs and Sir Scrapalot.

While I was gone, Julie released this new kit which I just adore!

It was perfect for a layout for my Themed Quote Challenge at Hummie's World this month which is on hobbies. Here is the layout I did today for that.

Oh, wait, that isn't my layout. That is a freebie for you.

Link to download on a site other than 4Shared is here.

Here is my layout. The challenge was to use a quote about a particular hobby you love (e.g. scrapbooking, photography) or hobbies in general. I chose photography. What about you? Got a hobby you love and want to scrap about? Be sure to checkout the quote challenge and you can even get a posting bonus made by KathyJ for posting your layout.

This was done using PhotoOp by Julie. It is. Be sure to stop by her blog she has a free alpha there to match it.

I did actually get one page done in baby girl's book. This was done using Template 47 by Hummie which she also gave out at her New Year's Eve chat.

I used Playful from Kelly Shults which I got from Scrapwow for this one.

I hope you New Year has started off fabulously!
