PHOTO BOOKS

I have really been trying to make my blog a place where I can spotlight a few of my scrapbook layouts while spotlighting some gorgeous designers' kits or digital challenges and at the same time keeping my family updated on whats going on here in the holler.  As I have been doing my spring cleaning, I have changed and rearranged in an attempt to also keep all a little better organized.  For example, on the left, I added the "Search" bar at the top as well as  the "LABELS" widget to help one find something specific more easily.  For instance, the freebie hunters can click on the freebie label and all the freebies currently available on my blog will pop up.  I have updated all my posts, so previous freebies no longer available will not pop up. 


Recently, I started having a few photo books printed for gifts, and I know I will be creating more of these this year so most of my layouts are created with this in mind.  I primarily use the Artscow Templates from Studio Wendy  @SBG so that my creations are in the printing "safe zone", and I find the Artscow Photo Books most affordable as they send out coupons very regularly.  Currently, I have four or five different books started that I will continue to work on during the year;  "The Book About Me" was mentioned in the previous posting.  I will also feature one of my books in a slideshow on my blog throughout the year.  The BELOVED Wedding Album I am working on for my niece is at the top of my blog now.  It is a big project, as I hope to have about 100 pages in it when finished.


I removed the music from my blog for it seems the majority of people do not like blog music.  I have also had a few requests to remove blinkies but I like my blinkies so they are staying but I did trim them down for you so you see, I am willing to compromise, lol.  I have several different Blog Rolls so you should be able to find any digi-scrapping blog you are looking for.  A new segment is the "Hidden Treasures" - a few special blogs or shops that I have discovered which I wanted to share with you, and if you are a FontOHolic as I am there is a segment for them as well.  As we all know, there is always going to be someone, who finds something to complain about but I do hope you find your visit with me, for the most part, enjoyable.

I was so glad to read this post about Artscow. I have been trying to decide whether to have my layouts printed in a book or print them myself. This was very helpful and so appreciated.
Thanks so much for sharing the info. I am going to check out the templates by Wendy, too.
Big Hugs!

PS. Your blog looks terrific. I am going to sign up for the newsletter updates so I don't miss anything.
Hugs....again. LOL

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***
