Outdoor Adventures and new blinkies

Digi-Designs by Nicole has a new kit on her blog after a seemingly LONG hiatus. Ok, it was really only one week but in this life of mine a week feels like a year. So the kit is Outdoor Adventures and this is so cute if you like to be outdoors where bugs bite and bears eat you. The papers are adorable and not outdoor-ish at all - very boy, if you aren't an outdoor type. The elements are cute (staple not included)... well, you have to wait for those but there are lots of them and as you can tell on my layouts... versatile.

And when I saw the cute fishing Word Art included, I decided to scan some pics of Uncle Jimmy. He loved fishing and had his own boat. And yes, that is the Pacific Ocean...

On a complete different note, guess what I learned to do today. Make blinkies!!! It is so much fun. My awesome friend Nicole taught me and what a great teacher she was...


First I made one for my new project 365 blog called simply 365... Check out the blinkie in the top left corner of this blog... feel free to snag it and follow my photographic-layout journey this year. And it is made with Brenda Smith's super cute Blossoms and Butterflies kit, which I snagged at her "buy my shop" sale at Digital Candy. Brenda isn't at DC anymore but you can find her at ScrapMatters and a new shop opening soon!


And it was so much fun making that blinkie that I helped make 2 new blinkies for Nicole. Go check those cute blinkies out... one is for the blog and the other is for the new forum she started. So go HERE to snag them.
