Chutes and Ladders... or stairs in my case

So I am slowly recouping from slipping down the 3 stairs in my house and landing hard as heck on my tushie... almost 2 weeks ago.  Have you ever seen a butt swell up?  Let me tell ya that it aint a pretty site.  My 8 yo son said that it looked like my butt was growing a butt.  My 4 yo said that I needed to take band aids and keep putting them side by side until it was this big.... as he is holding up his hands in this giant 2 foot square!  Uhm kids... be nice to your mom's butt.  After 5 days the swelling and pain hadn't subsided so I went to the doctor.  That was a fun experience (read that as NOT)... having my butt x-rayed, having the doctor poke my butt to see if it hurt (yea, it did) and having my dear husband making me laugh at stupid jokes!  Good news was that my bum bum was not broken... but it had a contusion.  A week of muscle relaxers, pain meds and sleeping my stomach has helped but I am ready to get back up and do stuff.

So as always, I am late posting stuff.   Ah well... life ya know.  I have a mini kit freebie for you as part of the COLOR with CARYN monthly blog hop and a QP for you that you could use for Mother's Day!   So, lets get this party started.

First up, Janice of JW DigiScraps let me play with her beautiful new kit - a Mom for the Ages.  OH MY... I am in love with the colors of this kit.  I couldn't' decide on papers and she included so many elements that I wanted to put them all on my page.  JW DigiScraps is a guest designer this month at the Studio and you can grab this awesome kit of hers for only $3.  This is one kit that has multiple uses so I would snag it up if I were you.  Here is the kit preview....

and here is the layout I created using a template from Sara Ellis.  She had an awesome bag of templates on sale for NSD and this was one of them. Oh..and I love the old retro WOMEN/MOM/COFFEE signs.  I collect the images on my computer and sure wish I could buy some to put in my house!


So the QP I am giving you is the above image... minus the mom's pic!  LOL... I figured you could put a pic in and then use the squares to write good things about your mom, gramma, aunt, etc.  This QP will only be available until Mother's Day so make sure you grab it now!

freebie no longer available

Next up is my portion of the Color With Caryn Creative Team Blog Hop.... whooo hooo!  I think my mini is more of a mini this month!  And since I am still new to this, please let me know how you liked the kit and if you make a layout, link me up please!  I would love to see.


And before I give you the download links, I want to let you know about the wonderful papers I used in this mini kit from Color with Caryn.  You can find at her products in her DSW and DSV shops (and hopefully back at DRS soon).  So, if you are looking for HIGH QUALITY CU items... you can't go wrong with Caryn's.


ok... now you can have the download links!  Thanks for stopping by and reading all about my broke butt!  See ya soon with more stuff.

New stuff (a bit late, as usual)

Lots and lots to share.... I had meant to post most of this last week but ended up going to the Emergency Room TWICE during the week. What an ordeal... I am fine now and was after the visits but it was scary nonetheless. All I can say is Kaiser Hospitals need to re-evaluate their staff. WOW.... ok, enough about crappy hospitals in San Diego County.

Sara Ellis is sooooo fun to chat with online and so joining her CT was something I didn't think twice about. Her kits have a bright electric and fun vibration to them. This kit below is called Miss Sassy Heart. Even the names of her kits are super fun! She released this kit last week but you can still grab it for a steal because she is having a sale at Scrappity-Doo-Dah.... everything is $1.23 (until Feb 7th)
Here is the layout I created with her kit! For full credits, click on the image!
Oh yea, Sara is having another CT call to gather up some more fun girls. Check out the details HERE.

Do you like vintage inspired kit? Well, then you should definitely check out these kits by Michelle Underwood. She sells at 2 Peas in a Bucket, which is a paper and digital shop and community. The kit below is called Sunday kind of love and I love how fun it was to use.
My layout I created using Sunday Kind of Love kit... for full credits, click the image below.

Looking for a fun baby kit that can be used for a boy or girl? Look no farther than this adorable kit called Oh Baby... a collab by Flutter Expressions and Kandy Kane Creations. It is sold at Elemental Scraps (and if you are heading over to look for it and it isnt there yet... come back)
Here is the layout I created with this kit. I also used some other bits and pieces from Flutter Expressions. For full credits, click on the image below.

Flutter Expressions also released another super cute kit and this time its a BOY BOY kit. YEA! Masculine Edge is a fun kit with metal, bright colors, and a grungy attitude.
Below is the layout I created with this kit... very simple layout but I love it. For full credits, please click the image.

Being on Digi-Designs by Nicole's CT for a long time now, I have watched her style grow. This is by far my favorite kit ever from her. Its called From the Heart and is jammed packed with goodies. I loved the colors so much. I actually had a hard time deciding on the background paper.
Here is the layout I created with From the Heart (yes, I finally picked a paper). Click on the image to see the full credits.

I love love Connie Prince's kits. She cranks them out like crazy but each one has a unique theme to it. I used this kit, Party On to create the fun layout below.
Here is the layout I made using this kit. I had to borrow white papers from other designers (cuz Connie never puts them in her kit). For full credits, click the image below.
Oh, BTW... Connie now has a paper pack of WHITE papers in the shop.... WHOHOOO!!

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Color with Caryn is no longer sellling kits at ESS so not sure where you can buy this kit if you are interested in it. I would say probably hit her up on her blog and ask about it. :) But I used this kit to make the best layout ever.... an Edward layout!


OH my... do I love my men sparkly!!!! YES.... Click on the hottie below for full credits.

And Color with Caryn is the Featured Designer this week at DSW (yes, slacker CT gal and barely posting this... but then again, its payday, right?). So look at the deal you can get...

And come back tomorrow for a freebie from me made with some of the awesome CU stuff in the bag...

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Last but not least and nor in any order.... Danielle Corbitt is designing again. Whoohooo! And she is at a new store - Polka Dot Plum. And check out this new release - Close to my Heart (look below), which is part of the PDP's February Plum Pickins.

And of course, I cannot leave you without one more glimpse of a shiny man.... oh edward... beat still my heart... how I love thee.... Click on the image above for full credits!!!
