Twice As Nice Collab

Hi all. Looks like I'm back. For a minute anyway. These last couple of weeks have been hard with us being away helping to look after my mother-in-law, but she appears to be getting back on her feet so now I'm back home. I actually do have a lot I want to post, but unfortunately today will not be the day. I've just logged on today to do a quick posting for the new collab that I've completed with Wendy of WM [squared] Designs. ScrapMatters has actually released quite of few collabs today. They are called Twice As Nice. Cute, huh? So here is ours.



Here are a few layouts from the ScrapMatters CT. Just to show you want can be done with this kit.

Also, me being me, I decided to throw in a little add-on. And I do mean little. Just a few more solid papers just in case you need them to complete your layout.



I'll be away for the weekend so you may not hear from me again until sometime next week. But enjoy your Valentine's Day.

Blissfully Blue

It's so good to get back into the groove of things. Here it is Saturday and I am actually making a post. I am so proud of myself. I've actually got some work done and want to show it it off. I forgot to mention them last week, but I did release a couple more template sets. I'm quite proud of them.





But this week my new release is my Blissfully Blue Kit. I wanted to do a color themed kit and blue being my favorite couple it seemed like the right choice. I threw in another color because that's just the way I am. But my main focus was blue.



And again my Wonderful CT put together some great Quick Pages and I put a few of them up for sale in the store.



Oh, before I forget. Let's take a look at some of the wonderful layouts the CT has put together. You may recognize some of them from the templates above.

Well, I guess that's all I can do for now. I have to take the children to another birthday party. Between last week and this week I'm just plain worn out. I kind of want to talk myself out of this one, but the kids enjoy them so much. Plus, the parents are kind of close friends of mine, so I guess that means I have to go. Right?

Anyway. My CT has complete enough QPs that I can give some away as a freebie as well. Please note that last week's freebie is no longer avaible. This freebie will only be available for a short while as well, so get it while you can.



You all have a great weekend!

If you are continuing on this blog train your next stop is Melanie's blog. You can find her blog here:

All the items on the blog train are fun little hybrid projects. I decided on CD covers. I have a holiday photo cd that certain members of my family are receiving. Since I was making covers for them I thought it would be fun to make covers for the blog train as well. Enjoy!

Let's see. A little about the holiday traditions in my family. Actually, we're not really a tradition kind of family. Growing up we always spent the holidays at my grandmother's house. But as me and my sister got older we stopped doing that. It was sometime the highschool that we stopped doing it all together. We lost my grandmother this year and I miss that now. Actually now we have Thanksgiving Dinner at my house. It was very difficult the first year. I spent most of the morning going back and forth from the grocery store trying to get all the things I forgot. Now, I can get it all in one trip. My family is pretty surprised that I host it in the first place. Any other day of the year I moan and complain about cooking and then my husband ends up doing it. But for this one day I'll spend the entire day in the kitchen cooking, no complaints.

Christmas is different. No cooking for me that day. We either go to my mom's or my inlaws. But for Christmas there is a small tradition that my sister and I shared that I now share with my children. My sister and I got out of that wait until you wake up on Christmas morning to open your presents situation. I think I was ten the first time I asked my mom if we're awake at midnight can we open our presents. Her answer was yes so me and my sister stayed up. Opened our presents at midnight, spent maybe and hour playing and then going to sleep. I let my children do this for the first time last year. I didn't think they would be able to stay away, but they could and they did. We'll continue with it this year.



Quite a few of the designers are offering a grab bag this weekend. I'm no different, but I'm not calling mine a grab bag. It's simply a Grabber. Only $3.00. Included in this grabber is 5 brand new products!



Well, as some of you can guess I'm off shopping for those great deals. When I get in this afternoon I have another entry for you. I need to introduce you to my Brand New Keepsake CT. I also want to show you what they can do.

Net Problems

I'm running late today. I've been having internet problems all day. I finally got a steady connection, and hopefully it will last long enough for me to finish this post. If not, I'll have to do another post tomorrow. I'll try again from home or try going over to my mom's house. I'll have to call the cable/internet people on Monday. I've got quite a few new releases in the store today. It's mostly templates. I have some alphas and a paper pack as well, but I'm still working on getting them into the store now. Here is a look at my new templates.











I've also decided to group some of my templates together to sell as a combo pack. This way you can get 4 template sets for the price of three. Sounds good, doesn't it?







I've also got a couple of alphas and a paper pack that I am currently in the process of putting in the store. If I can make it it should be completed tonight. If not it will be up tomorrow.







I do still plan on having a Template CT Call. Hopefully I'll get my announcement complete soon. After the template CT call I plan on having a call for my regular CT. Keep a look out for those announcements. Now for your freebie.

Sorry I'm Late!

This weekend for me was horrible. I had like the worst stomach virus ever! And I'm going to blame it on my co-workers. I don't know where else it could have come from. Last week I was left alone to man the office because everyone else was away at conference. One person always has to stay behind to be on call and this time it was me. Wasn't as bad as I figured it would be, but it sure was lonely with no one else coming into the office but me. Talk about being on lock down the entire time. So when everyone got back on Thursday they were all talking about this bug that they all got and how sick they all were, but then they got better the last couple of days. So I listened thinking it was no big deal. Everyone appeared to be doing fine. But then what happens. Friday I get so sick I spend most of the day in the bathroom. Most of the afternoon anyway. I started out great, but then that afternoon I just got unbelieveably sick. Anyway, not a pleasant weekend. Hopefully the rest of my family doesn't get it. But with my luck, they'll all have it at the same time.

I've got a few new releases at the shop. Nothing big, just some alphas and a paper pack. I've been working on more, but I plan to put together a grab bag for Digital Scrapbooking Day. I want to pack it full! So here is a look at what's new in my store, but you won't be able to purchase any of it today. ScrapMatters is down for today and maybe part of tomorrow for some upgrades. We've been getting some heavy traffic so now we need more power or whatever. I don't understand all the technical stuff.











For this paper pack please note that all the burlap papers are png files which makes the complete download huge! But I love the texture and think that they make great backgrounds. Of course you need something solid behind it which is why I threw in a piece of brown paper bag paper. Look for more burlap in the future.

Now for the freebie.



Hope you all enjoy! Have a great Halloween! Just in case I don't get to make another post before then.

Girl On Wheels has Arrived!

I have finally finished a layout. I can't remember the last time I actually had the time and work on a layout for the fun of it. This is one of the photos I took on my daughter's birthday. One of her presents was a Hannah Montana scooter. She is a huge Hannah Montana fan.



For this layout I used one of the Keepsake 8 templates which were released today. Also I used my Girl On Wheels kit which was also released today. Girl On Wheels is the sister kit to Boy On Wheels.





Here is another layout by haynay using the Girl On Wheels kit. You'll see some more in the gallery later.



I also have some other new releases in the store today. Please feel free to go and check them out at ScrapMatters. The link is over to your right.








Now for the freebie. Today I have two for you. This is to somewhat make up for the week that I forgot. First is a small quickpage set using my Delightful Refreshment kit. This quickpages were made for you by a few of my CT members. Enjoy.



And here is a set of wrinkled paper alphas.



You may notice that I have a new freebie preview. Flergs has released some preview templates and I decided to play with one a bit. I really loved it and just had to have it. I still love my otherone as well so I may alternate or something. I'll figure it out. You all enjoy and have a great weekend.
