News & a Freebie

Well hello out there!! I have a bit of news.....very soon my youngest son, his wife and their 3 babies, Taylor 7, Caden 4, & Jessi 2...will be coming back to the states to live after living the past 3 years in Germany. I can't wait to have them back on this side of the pond......even if they won't be really close to where I live....at least I won't need a passport to visit them. Can you tell that I am excited about this????

OK...on to other things....I was surfing yesterday on a scrapbooking site that I visit, Scrapadilly and Drea was having her Friday Night Boredom Fighters scrapout...now I know yesterday was not Friday....but this time the challenge will go on for an entire week to allow all of us to maybe be able to do some of them. So today, I was checking out the challenges and saw the Color Challenge....I loved the choices of palettes so...I made a kit that I could use to do the challenge.

Now if you are interested in meeting some really great, friendly people...this would be the place to go!! There are many more challenges for this shindig and you have until August 29 to get them finished. Go check it out....you know you want to!!!

Here is the layout I did with the mini freebie.



Here is what the kit looks like and since I made it just for this challenge...you can have it for free! Now you can't beat that price anywhere!!



Now if you like....you can download the mini kit HERE...Please leave some love here on my blog via a comment if you take the kit. It only takes a moment and all the comments are truly appreciated!

Until Next Time!!!

Come on Over to the Farm

I've been playing some over at the farm.....you know Moo Two Designs! Well, this month I am hosting the Barnyard Bingo and we are having so much fun.

I am also hosting another challenge called Fireside Tales. This one is all about that dreaded thing that most of us have problems with doing on our pages.....you know....the journaling!!!

Oh before I forget, beginning on September 13 at Moo Two, we will have a Designer Challenge will begin at the Moo Two Corral. If you are a budding designer, you might want to jump on over there and sign up before all the spots are taken. Ssshhh....don't tell anybody....but I actually joined this contest. I don't normally do contests because I am not a fan of the ones that go on popularity. I want to be judged based on the quality of my work. That is the beauty of this contest....we are all issued numbers...no one knows who we are. We will be judged on our ability, not our popularity. This is going to be so much fun! I can hardly wait until the fun begins.

I haven't gotten much done in the way of layouts. I have been really busy with the start of school back on August 3....hopefully things will slow down a bit and I will be able to get some pages done to post.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

Until Next Time!
