Busy Busy Busy

I have not made it out in the yard working yet but I have been busy scrapping up a storm!  Lots of pages have been completed lately, as well as the beginnings of several projects.   I have made several quick pages for albums for both Rina and Kimmi.  The upcoming albums from the CT are to die for so you will want to keep your eyes on the look out for their releases.

I have 61 pages completed for Marie's Beloved (by Rina Kroes) wedding album.  With over 500 photos of that wedding, I hope to get 100 pages done for her.  I have 25 pages done for the Grandchildren's Photo Book using new releases by Kimberly Stewart; I want to have 30.  There are 17 pages completed in my Granddaughter Erynn's album using Rina's Bells of St Clements; the goal for that one is 25 to 30 pages.  Plus I have 8 or 9 more Photo Books using various products in the making, not to mention the various brag books I am working on.  I hope to be able to have everything finished and printed by November of this year so there will be no last minute scrambling for Christmas by me, lol.

I was reading over some of the comments on my blog and in my galleries, and I really want to thank every one who takes the time to post!  They really do brighten my day!  Carole N left a really nice message on my posting about Artscow Photo Books.  Thank you Carole.  Since March 10th of last year, I have had nearly 20,500 visitors to my blog!  Now I know that number is minute to many of the talented digi-scrap artists in the blogging community but that number brings a smile to my face so I sincerely thank all who stop by Notes In The Holler!

I have been addicted to this hobby since I received my first computer back in 2003, and I still use the same old program that I began with, The Rosco Media Creator, Photo Suite 7.  I have been fortunate enough to have several other top-programs bestowed to me as gifts but I just can not find the time to learn how to use them.  Maybe some day I will get caught up on all my projects and then I can venture into the brave net world of PSE, but for now, I just continue on as I always have.  I am so thankful that many designers now include shadowed elements for that is one area that my program sorely lacks in!!!

One of the Easter pages I posted last week using Kimberly Stewart's Ted E Rabbits QuickPages was chosen for this week's Made Ya Look Monday at Faith Sisters, and Sister Muse Sandy aka snojewel has one featured there as well!  Then today, I discovered one of the pages I posted yesterday was chosen as Layout of The Week at MyPicTales blog.  I get so thrilled when one of my pages gets a little special recognition like that, so thank you to those who picked me!  Of course, I have to show off a little bit myself, after all, I am a proud Granny so please indulge me as I show you a couple of  the layouts I posted in the galleries yesterday.


Since I seldom get to see most of my dear grandchildren, I often thank the Good Lord above for the special moments I share with these two.  And when I chose these pictures, I did not realize it, but they were taken exactly one year apart...I thought that was a neat coinky-dink!


I used the beautiful Tenderly Page Kit by Rina Kroes for these pages as well as the Tenderly Newsletter Gift from the March Scrapbook-Elements Newsletter.  Each month the SBE designers fill the newsletters with some amazing gifts.  If you have not signed up to receive the newsletter, I urge you to DO SO HERE

In Memoriam Collection

Anyone who has lost a loved one knows how much they cherish them and want to preserve their memory. Putting together a Memory Album is one way of remembering them, now and for future generations. Rina and Kimberly have come together in bringing you the "In Memoriam" collection that exemplifies gentleness in strength. Inside this large collection you will find a myriad of embellishments and papers that are suitable for both softly feminine and more rugged masculine pages. It is delicate and sensitive, yet strong and thoughtful. The colors are peaceful, yet with an intensity that gives them strength. You will be able to choose from a number of color combinations: from crisp silvery white and lavender, to the soft glow of gold leaf and sky blue, from warm caramel and taupe to shades found in nature, and finally to accent colors of scarlet red, navy blue and dark purple. Often times our emotions are still very raw from our loss and we may find it difficult to draw on our own c

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week.  We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July!  I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house.  I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday.  But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station!  He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB.  That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing.  I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them.  I can't wait to actually see these

Bells of St Clements

“Oranges and lemons… The Bells of St Clements…”. The words of this old English singing game identified the church bells in and around London and are the inspiration behind Rina’s “Bells of St Clements” collection. Full of juicy fruity freshness in citrus shades of cream, lemon yellow, orange and lime green, this collection is sure to become a summer favorite. As part of the Door Buster Event , there will be some new coordinates for Rina's new (soon to be released) kit that are priced for only $1 or $2 !!! I have loved playing with this beautiful kit! Here are some layouts I have finished today. This is a special page I made for my DS#2 and his lovely wife! I love you guys and wish you only the best which life has to offer!!! Thank you for stopping my blog today and here is a freebie I made for you from the layout above. ***SORRY-NO LONGER AVAILABLE***
