March Madness and a Freebie

Here it is March with all the great things that are going on, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, different smaller events in other towns to attend, but what do I do? I sit home and play on the computer...LOL

GD Brianna was in a One Act Play UIL (Universal Interscholastic League) Contest and her group won First Place for a play named 'Wiley and the Hairy Man' by Susan Zedar. The leading man/boy was won by Michael from her group and the All-star cast was alos won by her group and that included Brianna. SO I would say that they had a very great day for a bunch of 8th graders from Fairview Junior High, one of 5 in AISD Alvin Texas.

Plans are going forward for my youngest son's wedding. Liz has picked her colors and I actually have already bought my dress for it. It isn't until October but I didn't want to wait until the last moment. I found one the right color at a fantastic price, so jumped right on it, but now I have to make up my mind to buy new shoes, something besides tennies, and I hate shoe shopping. Oh well this is a long awaited event so I guess I had better start looking since it takes me forever to find a pair that fit right, have the right heel height and are right for the dress.

Hubby's make-over is going great. He had his left eye fixed in late January and now he is getting all his skin cancers removed. Now if only that perfect job would appear all would be good with him.

Mallory is growing so fast, seems like he will be really keeping us hopping when Spring finally gets here. He so loves to explore the back yard, but that means one of us has to be with him every minute, due to his BAD HABIT of tasting of everything and I do mean everything.

Ok I know you all want to see what I made for KimB's Color Challenge. This time I made only papers but there are 15 of them all at 12x12 @300DPI and here it is;

Download HERE

I just checked the Color Challenge Gallery at DSO and WOW there are some really great free kits there, if you downloaded all of them you would have a very pretty Mega kit.

Well I am off to grab another cuppa coffee so I will bid you a fond HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND,

Lois

It's March First and you know that means another ADSD Blog train!!!! Jump onboard!!!

I can hardly believe another month of 2009 is behind us, it is going way too fast but, there is a little good news. ADSD is offering another fantastic Blog Train, it is called Hurry Up & Get Here, Spring!"

It is full of soft Spring Colors and from what I have seen there are some spectacular freebies for you all to grab. Here are the colors

Aren't they nice?

I made a little something, 12 papers and a few elements

Please remember that we are all from different places and countries, so if SOMEONE doesn't have their part up, it isn't because they forgot, it could be because they live in a different TIME-ZONE, so please check back later in the day.

DSO Color Challenge FREEBIE

It has been awhile since I posted but part of that is this Roller-Coaster weather we have been having, it sure makes us old folks feel rather poorly....LOL


I thought I had better get this posted before I forgot about it, I will be way too busy next week to get much done, due to the Bar-B-Que Cook-Off at the Houston Rodeo. Now I do not cook or anything that much fun, but since my Son does work with on of the teams, I will have the kids more than usual and that makes my brain very forgetful.

Here is the preview of the kit and you will not see the Alpha on it, I FORGOT to put it there but it is on 4shared...

You can download it here:

Papers

Elements

Alpha

Hope you enjoy using my part.

Showing of my Friend's beautiful kit and a freebie

I do not know If I mentioned it or not, but I am on the Creative Team of Scrapbrat Designs. She makes very pretty what I call Girly Kits. Since I have one of each, in my Grandkids that is ok.

You can find this and other kits at Color Line Design or at DigiDesign Resort, I think you will find she does really pretty work.

Here is a layout I did using this kit, and it shows with just a little work you can make a layout that is not Valentines...LOL

It is called Bird of Paradise and here are the credits;
Scrapbrat Designs, Love Affair, Template by Jennifer at HawTMamaBlog, Liberate and DJB CINDAs, Eye Candy Impact Glass and Bevel

Now I promised you a freebie and here it is, a Quickpage using Love Affair by Scrapbrat Designs be sure to check her blog as there are a few that do not have blogs and she is hosting those.

You can either click on the preview or HERE to get your QP.

Enjoy!

Update on My Busy Life and a FREEBIE

Well it was a heck of a week. First a new President, then 2 Great Nephews born 12 hours apart. Youngest son got himself engaged to a Beautiful Lady on Thursday and then on Friday, Hubby had Catarac surgery, he is doing great and is loving being able to see again. And my family wonders why I prefer my computer to real life...LOL

Here is a layout I made using Just 4 Fun by Cindy Ritter and a very pretty template by Chris Greiser. It is called She said YES!!!! They both look so happy adn I am on cloud ( myself. She is perfect for him and the whole family is crazy about her. I also made a second layout with the same kit and a template by ChrissyW. It is just called The Ring.

Now on to the FREEBIE. It is a small kit (12 papers and 3 elements) I made for KimB's color challenge at DSO. I really loved the colors and plan to download all of the kits that others made, since there are so many of them and they are so beautiful.

Here is the download link or you can just click on the preview.

Hope you enjoy the kit, I know I had a blast making the papers, the preview not so much...LOL

Have a Good Night and try to say either warm or cool depending on where you live.

Long time no SEE!!! so here is a freebie

I must be the World's worst blogger, cannot believe it has been this long since I posted. I guess I just haven't gotten the Blog Habit down right yet, so I thought I would share a freebie I made for a non-existent Color Challenge, well it really did exist but it was for Jan 08 not Jan 09. It was the one at Stone Accents Studio, that is normally hosted by Boo of Booland Designs, but due to PC problems she hasn't posted the Jan 09 one yet.

 

After I had gotten it all made, packaged up and ready to post I realized it was the wrong one. I thought today I would share the one I made for the 08 challenge and then (for the only in my mind) Jan 09. I cannot believe how much I have learned over the past year. If you do not have the first one, together they should make a good sized kit. Preview of the 08 kit

Download links for 08 Elements , 08 Papers1 , 08 Papers 2

 

Now for the Jan 09 kit

Download link for Jan 09 kit

Now for a little update on what I have been doing. Babysitting Mallory of course but I have joined two new Designer's Creative teams. First it was Cindy Ritter and last Scrapbrat Designs, more about them later. I promise to post some of the layouts I have made with their kits, but will save that for another day.

So for now I bide you a fond Bye Bye,

Lois
