Liiitle Friday!

The host of our local morning show on television calls Thursdays "Liiittle Friday" - I like that.  Not that Fridays are any different than any other day in my life now but when I was working, I always looked forward to Fridays as it was the last day of the work week!  Back in the days of my first marriage, Fridays were pay days and the last day of school for the kids so we would go out to McDonalds or get pizza, rent a couple of videos and stay up as late as we wanted... Fridays are a day we all look forward to so the term Liiitle Friday for Thursdays gets one excited for the upcoming weekend!

I went to bed early last night, about 9:00pm and then woke up early at 2:00am.  I was not really ready to start scrapping, nothing on the boob-tube worth watching and when I checked my email, I found a coupon from ArtsCow for a thirty page photo book for only $9.99 with free shipping!  Yippee!  I spent the next couple of hours picking out 30 of my favorite pages I have scrapped lately, and preparing them for the photo book.  As I have told you before, I use the Artscow Blank Cover Templates from Studio Wendy at SBG.  I prepared my book cover adding one of my favorite layouts to In Memoriam Papers by Kimberly Stewart and Rina Kroes, and then I prepared the page backgrounds using a simple white paper from the In Memoriam Set and a black paper from Rina's Almost Midnight PaperPack.


So that will be the front cover of my photo book with 30 layouts with my Grandchildren, Isaac and Ava, the children of my youngest son Matthew.

As I was making my selections to include in the above photo book, I came across some of last years freebies that I had posted.  When I cleaned up my blog and corrected my labels, the links for some of past freebies were removed but I want to make sure they are available to all my new followers, so as I come across them in hard drive, I will be adding them to my blog once again!  Today, I have two quick pages I made last spring using Spring Has Sprung by Kimberly Stewart.

Kimmi says that the tender, soft shades of spring, packed with lots of flowers is perfect for any of your precious photos of babies, girls, boys and of course spring, for your layouts, craft projects, cards and more! The alphabet adds a bit of glitz to your layouts with beautiful pink, emerald, and light topaz gem stones timmed in sparkling gold.  I adore this kit and often use the elements and alphabets on my pages so I know you will want to add this kit to your collection!  I hope you enjoy the quick pages!

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***

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

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
