layouts, sales and games

I am so pleased at how many visitors I have gotten to my blog so far this month! Who knew a blog train could do all that? LOL. And I am equally shocked at the number of comments I have received. Now granted it is no where equal to the number of downloads but I am still pleased that people are taking the time to say thanks. It makes me wanna do more freebies!

I havent had any time yet this month to design. Working full time does that sometimes. But I have had time to scrap a little. I love scrapping more than designing so when there is a little bit of free time (and the motivation) guess what I choose? Here are a couple of pages using newer kits by Ellie Lash. You can find her at Sunshine Studios and she also has her own personal shop now. I used templates from Berry Sweet Designs for both of these layouts. I was never a template girl but I am in LOVE with all of Berry Sweet's. You can find her products at Polka Dot Plum and MScraps.

This layout is created with Cinnamon Cocoa by Ellie Lash.  Its a wintery type of kit but as you can see, it can really be used for any kind of layout.  Template is from Simply No2 by Berry Sweet Designs. 

This layout is created with Sweet Snowflakes by Ellie Lash Designs.  Another wintery type of kit but very adaptable.  The page stitching and the photo border are also by Ellie Lash.  Template is from the Cut Outs set by Berry Sweet Designs.

I love this layout!!!  Ok, I know it looks bad, but seriously, it was sparkling cranberry juice!  I just love the profile of my baby's face and that skinny arm holding that glass.  I created this layout for the Color Challenge at Sugar Hill Co.  You should try it, you get a free little add on kit by Victoria Feemster to use or you can purchase the full kit.  The background paper (recolored) and the photo border are again from Ellie Lash.  The stamp behind the papers are from a Sugar Hill Collab called Sweet Memories.

This is the last layout I created this week.  Vintage Colors is a new release by Michelle Underwood and you can find it only at 2 Peas in a Bucket.  I just love Michelle's style and ease of putting random colors together for a great look.  The photo is me and my bestie, Joyce (aka Becky).

Well, I have more info for you.... a sale!  Who loves a sale?  LOL.  But its not from me!   ha.  Its from LouCee Creations.  I have had the privilege of knowing this awesome gal as fellow CT mates and recently as a fellow designer at Digiridoo Scraps.  But alas, she is packing up and moving!  Its sad but you know what makes me happy?  She is having a 50% off sale!   Heck yea!!!  The sale ends this Sunday but I bet I could pull a few strings and get it extended!!!   LOL.

I love LouCee's kits!  Like LOVE... I have a desktop calendar that I made last year with one that is still my fav to use even tho its not September anymore.  Plus LouCee has excellent Commercial Use products that have all been Quality Checked.  No Strays, No Jaggies, No random crap in the middle of the image!  Seriously, I use her stuff and I use it because the quality is good.  Go check it out, see for yourself and if you are not happy, let me know!

Yea, long post for me.  I think I am really trying to beat my own posting record. So I will leave you with a little freebie.  I had posted info about it in December but I just want to make sure that everyone grabs it that wants it before I take it down at the end of the month.  I created an Add On to my Country Holiday kit and it was available as part of Digiridoo Scraps 25 Days of Christmas. So if you didn't run over and grab it there, then here is your chance.  Just say thanks if you take it... using your nice manners and all.
