Christmas is rapidly approaching, and 2015 is slipping away from us! I know everyone is very busy getting their homes ready and things planned out for the holidays. Try not to go under with stress, keep things from getting crazy. One of the benefits of getting older is that it doesn't have to be crazy anymore (at least for me).<br />
<br />
Sadly, things are changing over at the <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/forum" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a> site at the end of this month, so this may be my last monthly <b style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Quick Page</b> from the forum challenges there. The store will be closing, and the name will be changing; but the group of designers are going to try to stick together and keep a forum of sorts going. Will get updates on that toward the end of this month. Life changes constantly, and people have to reorganize their priorities from time to time; we can all identify with that. <br />
<br />
This month we got to play with a very pretty seasonal kit from <b style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Marniejo's House of Scraps</b> called <b style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">"Winter Special"</b>. I designed a 12 x 12" QP in png format at 300 dpi with it. I will show you the kit preview, then my QP for you to download if desired. I will also show you some of the other QPs that you can collect from this challenge by visited the <span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">December Quick Page Challenge forum thread </span>where all the participants will be posting their direct download links for their free pages. This month will be different in that, if you want to collect some of these, you will need to do it <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">BEFORE</span></b> the end of this month as that's when the site changes will occur.<br />

That's a cute collection so far, right? There are more still to come. Of course, when you download them, you will be getting blank QPs without the personal photos and journaling that you see in some of these above.</div>

Here is a preview of a digi-scrapped hybrid card I made to use to include with some of my packages this year. The kits used to make this are from the designers at Ginger Scraps. I made the size so I could get two on a sheet of card stock for home printing, it folds in the middle and ends up being 4.25" x 5.5" when folded. I designed the outside and then the inside; and, when I print, I will print the outside first, then flip the page over and run it back through the printer to print the inside.</div>

I'm sure by now you are in the midst of finalizing your Thanksgiving menu or deciding where you'll go out to eat! Whatever you do, have a blessed day filled with gratitude!<br />
<br />
November is probably my busiest month personally, as it's filled with many birthdays of family and friends; leads in from Halloween festivities, hosts the Thanksgiving holiday, and holds many local area festivals and pre-Christmas madnesses. Hope you all are surviving it well.<br />
<br />
I've popped in here today to share with you my latest <b style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="color: red;">FREE Quick Page</span></b>, courtesy of my participation in the monthly challenges over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/forum" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. We got to play with an artsy mini kit called "Keep In Touch" by Happy Scrap Arts. My page is 12x12" png format at 300 dpi. You can easily resize in down to 8x8" if you like that better for home printing. Remember, if you want to collect a ready-made QP album, you can visit the November QP challenge thread in the forum at Ivy Scraps where all the contestants post a free direct download link to their creations. You may need to register there so you can see all the information and links.<br />
<br />
Here is the kit preview, then my layout, then the blank QP, and download links are below that.<br />

I've been crocheting like a mad lady also, working on a gift needed this month for a special person. I'll post a photo of that when I get it all done. My printer had been on the fritz for a long time, and I finally got that problem solved yesterday by myself. My techi hubby sat to the side on this one and made me figure it out by myself. He forces me to learn this techi stuff at my age, which could be considered cruelty! I don't know whether to slap him or thank him!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was fortunate enough to grab PSE 14 on sale at Costco for only $39.95 this month. Our local store had plenty of them while I saw they are out of stock online. There are a couple of new features in this version which make it worth the upgrade this year. It's my Christmas gift to myself!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm working on designing some greeting cards, so I hope to pop back in soon with more freebies. Do drop back in yourself, and leave some love when you take.</div>

I'm feeling a little blue because my youngest daughter is moving out of state tomorrow for a new job in broadcasting; she will be a news anchor-lady. I'm happy for her and, in fact, encouraged her to take this job. You know us moms; we give our children "roots and wings", but it's very emotional for us to be both happy and sad at the same time. We have been lucky to live very close to each other for over 20 years of her adult life. We all tend to move when the notion strikes us. I've done it, now it's her turn. She has been only 4 miles away, now she will be 6+ hours away. Sniff. I'll be cheering her on as she leaves, but my tears will flow the moment she is out of sight. Gulp. I've stated to her that "nothing is constant except change", so now I will have to live those words once again.<br />
<br />
All right then - Today I have a <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREE QUICK PAGE</span></b> for you all coming from my monthly participation in the challenges over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/forum" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. We got to play with a kit called "In My Garden" by Jemima's Digital Boutique there. My page is a 12 x 12-inch png at 300 dpi, for use in most scrapping programs. It can easily be sized down to an 8 x 8-inch if you prefer. Visit the October QP Challenge forum thread at the site to collect more QP's as this month progresses until the last day of next month to collect more if you would like to have an album from this kit. There are some clever scrappers and designers involved, and I'm always astounded how different our pages are using the same supplies. Here is the kit preview,<br />

Hope you like it and can use it somewhere in your scrapping! They are always fun to make, and we just got the kit last night, so there are not too many posted yet. We always have more than a dozen participants, so keep checking the site as the month goes along!</div>

I've been able to scrap a bunch of layouts lately, so I'll get those posted soon on my layouts page; and I'm still working on my winery album from last Fall. I've also made a bunch of Facebook Timeline covers for myself! DH was off for almost two weeks on a stayca, so it's a wonder I got that much done! LOL!</div>

I hope you are enjoying the cooler days of Autumn. It's a welcome change to feel slightly cooler breezes here at my southern beach! We just suffered the heaviest 3-day rainfall I've seen in my 20+ years of living here, over 2 feet of flooding waters right in my area. Luckily, I live on what is termed "high ground" at 99 ft. above sea level, so other than overflowing ponds in my neighborhood and some standing water after the ground was saturated, we came through it fine. No flood waters in my house, but I did find my living room picture window leaking from the top with that much rain. I kept beach towels rolled up tight in the windowsill and kept changing them as they saturated. Hubby has already repaired the flashing with the return of the sun. So lucky to be married to a maintenance man! My heart goes out to all who suffered devastation across our state. Mind you, this was not from Hurricane Joaquin which was way out in the Atlantic at the time; but it was from the fact that a different eastbound storm was trapped over top of us for 3 days because Joaquin was sitting out there blocking its path of movement. We have a tremendous amount of river flooding which, in turn, has caused roads to wash out in some areas. It will take time to come back from this severe damage. <br />
<br />
Of course, me, I'm scrapping about it with lots of photos.<br />
<br />
When I looked up from the storm, I realized almost half of October has flown by already! I have a <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">free</span></b> printable Autumn card for you from my participation in monthly challenges. It will print 8.5 x 11", fold in the middle, blank inside. It's a jpg format at 300 dpi. You can size it down easily if you prefer a smaller card. This one has the month and current year on the front. That was part of the rules in this particular challenge. However, if you would prefer this without the year on it so it could be used in the future, just leave me comments. If there is enough interest, I will go back to my psd file and make some changes, re-upload a new zip file to my file sharing sites, come back and make a new post with the new card. For now, here is the current preview . . .<br />

This month the talented designers over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/forum" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a> came up with a good one! We were challenged to create our own piece of word art within the guidelines given to us, and those were the tricky part. I dug my feet in, scoured through my digital stash, and came up with one. I'm not a pro at this type of thing, by any means; and I tend to pick apart my own designs after I've made them. I guess that's part of most people's creative process. I need more time to practice being truly creative, and that kind of free undisturbed time is a premium thing in my house. Some of our guidelines were to use a paint splatter, an open shape, a shape inside the open shape, some flowers, buttons, etc., and a script font with a stroke added to it. Now keeping all that in mind, if we used all CU items or shapes (commercial use) or designs of our own, we would be able to share the finished piece. I wanted to hit all of that, so below is my end result. It's a png at 300 dpi, so it should be useful in most scrapping programs. The background is transparent, and I have given it some light shadowing to make it show up a little better. For the sake of previewing here, I am showing you a jpg with white background so you can see it better. It is a rather large piece, but you will be able to size it smaller to suit your needs in your scrapping program. Hope you can use it!<br />

We are mid month already! Funny how time goes so much faster after we get a little age on us.<br />
<br />
I'm diving right into the <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREEBIE</span></b> I have for you and will keep this short and sweet! This is a Fall themed Quick Page designed with the September Challenge Kit and Facebook Gift by <b style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Jan Waite of Waite For The Moment Designs</b> over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/forum" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. It is a 12 x 12-inch, png format at 300 dpi, ready for you to slip your photo behind and add some journaling on top if desired. If you prefer scrapping with 8 x 8-inch pages, you can easily reduce this QP to that size in your program. Below are previews of the parts of Jan's kit I used, the layout I made, and my blank QP. The download links are below all that.<br />

Nice, right? And to think we just got the kit yesterday! By the end of this month, there will be plenty more. So don't miss out, go snag them! They all come blank without our personal photos, but you knew that already! Well, I found that using a url to show you things works very easily (at least until the image is moved someday!). Don't know why I haven't done that before. Just goes to show you that you can think up new tricks every day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Lots of folks are looking forward to the cooler weather of Fall, and in my area it's a welcome season for tourists playing more golf.<br />
<br />
I added another album of finished pages under my "layouts" tab, so be sure to have a look at that if you need some scrapping inspiration. It follows a "beach theme" since that's what the activities were about. I had beautiful subjects to work with!<br />
<br />
My <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREEBIE</span></b> today is a printable card in 8.5 x 11" size, fold in the middle. Inside is blank for your own message. If your home printer has the options, you can print "full page" and "borderless" so you have no white border around it when finished. Of course, if you prefer a smaller card, just size it down before you print. It's a jpg image at 300 dpi. It comes to you by way of my participation in the monthly challenges over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/forum" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a> where this month's theme was based on a quote. Hope you like it and will be able to use it. Here is the preview with download links below it.<br />

I spent yesterday wrapped up in "Back To School" challenges which just got posted over at <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=664" target="_blank">Digital Scrapbooking Studio</a>, and they run from now until the end of August. One of them is a template challenge, and I couldn't resist making one. Since I did, you get it as a freebie! If you want more, you'll have to visit the "Back To School" forum threads and hunt for the download links in each participant's post. Toward the end of this month will be a good time to check that out since there will be more posted by then. The challenges are so new in fact, that I haven't had time to make a layout with the template I just designed myself. If I get one done, I'll come back and insert it for you to see. Main thing is, snag my template! In my download, I've included a psd, tiff, and PNGs; so it should be useful to most scrapping software programs. It's pretty basic, but you can dress it up with lots of goodies from your own stash! Here is the preview, and download links are below that.<br />

I'm rolling out the <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">freebies</span></b> so you'll have new digi-scrap supplies to play with while your kids are sitting in class this fall! You'll want to scrap up your vacation shots from this year, no matter what time of year the vacation was; so I made a couple of different styles for you to use. These are high resolution, 300 dpi, png format images. They can easily be sized larger or smaller. They can be recolored, used as clipping masks for your papers, or you can apply styles to them. As you can see, I used a corrugated cardboard style that I made in an online class tutorial on one of them for you. They are without shadows so you can add your own to your liking. Below is a preview, and download links are below that.<br />

I'm going to be working on another album for myself of last fall's vacation that hubby and I took to a lovely winery in the Virginia Highlands. I have a zillion photos of it and have only managed to scrap one page so far. Pitiful, really! It was such a pleasant, relaxing type of vacation; and I am finding myself looking forward to more of that type of trip, just us and the dog to a peaceful setting we haven't been to before. We stayed in a very old two story farmhouse on gorgeous land with a cabin and a fishing pond now run as a Bed & Breakfast. The winery we visited had a beach music festival going on the weekend that we attended, and the grounds were full of arts and crafts for sale as well. We enjoyed several wine tastings, the music, the food vendors, the crafts, the surrounding area of small town artsy type shopping complete with bakeries. I met several jewelry designers there selling their designs, and that is another hobby of mine; so I was in heaven with all the inspiration. Our B&B hosts were just incredible, and we made good friends of them. I know we will return there in the future. This time of year has me thinking and remembering how wonderful it was. It's an album I will enjoy putting together. I found some great wine themed kits over at <a href="http://www.gingerscraps.net/" target="_blank">Ginger Scraps</a>. If you haven't visited their site, you are missing out on one of the BEST and MOST GENEROUS websites on the net for supplies and friendly folks. It's a site I totally fell in love with and visit it every day, several times a day! I participate in most all the monthly challenges there, visit all the designers' blogs and Facebook pages, and just enjoy the whole environment there!! This is one time you will want to take my advice and check them out! Promise!!<br />

Life can get hectic, and some things will just slip through the cracks at times. Lucky that I found this hanging out in my online storage accounts and was able to see that it had not been downloaded by anyone. That made me investigate it a little further, thus, realizing it had never been posted here to the blog. It is just the card front, so when you set it up to print, remember to place it so you will have the same size space to the left so you will be able to fold it in the middle for use. It is in jpg format, and I believe it is 5.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches long.<br />

I took part in another monthly challenge over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/forum" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>, this time the greeting card challenge. I'd like to do it every month but can't seem to find enough time. I worked fairly hard on this one because I decided to use a photo of my own flower in it, but I didn't want the photo's background colors to detract from the background paper. I made a desaturated copy of the photo, and then played for a long time popping that yellow flower blossom back in. Whew! Just time consuming. I have not played with that technique for a long time! The high resolution of this is in jpg format at 8.5 x 11" so you can print it right on your home printer on white or ivory card stock, glossy, semi-glossy, or matte photo paper, etc. Set your printer to print full page (or to the border, if you have that kind of option). After printing, simply score the card down the middle and fold. The back has been left white, and the inside is blank so you can write a note or short letter of your own in there. Hope you can use and enjoy this! I will be back tomorrow with another printable card for you that I made last summer and forgot to post. I ran into it hanging out in my online storage accounts ready to go, but it never got posted. Look for it tomorrow!<br />
<br />
The print on the card is black outlined in white and reads, "The Beauty of Nature Is Just Outside Your Door!" It's difficult to see it here, but it is quite pretty at full size.<br />
<br />
Here is the preview of today's freebie printable card with download links below that,<br />

We are still packing in the last of summer fun. Our kids here at the beach return to school on the 24th, not so far away now. I know, lots everywhere are already back in session. I feel for the little rascals, it's still so hot; and, when I was young, the summers seemed to last for eternity.<br />
<br />
Will attempt to keep this post short for you. My <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREEBIE QP</span></b> for you today has a <span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">crafty sewing theme</span> and comes from a kit called "Beth" by A-M Designs by way of my participation in the monthly QP contest over at <b><a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/forum" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a></b>. Again, if you would like to collect pages from all the monthly participants, simply visit the forum there, go under the monthly challenge thread to the August Quick Page Contest thread (you may need to register before you can see everything, and I have changed my link to go directly to the forum). There you will find each participant will post a direct link to their FREE QP, and you can collect enough to have a nice ready-made album. We normally work in a 12x12" page size, png format at 300 dpi. However, if you like a smaller page, these will size down to a nice 8x8" which you can then home print. It always amazes me that we are all given the same mini kit to work with; but, by the end of the month there are always so many vastly different designed pages to download! It's a lot of pure fun if you like to play with digital things on your computer!<br />
<br />
Below is a preview of the kit, then a sample layout I made using photos from a friend's summer sewing project she just finished, and then a preview of my blank Quick Page. The download links are below that.<br />

I provide two options for downloading sites so we don't run into "out of bandwidth" problems. If you can't get it from one site, you can probably get it from the other. <br />
<br />
I believe I am finished scrapping pages for my June vacation album; ended up with 60-some which are now posted under the "layouts" tab above. I also worked on another summer album which I am going to post there soon, and it is of two teenage ladies that came to visit my daughter here at the beach for a week in June. My daughter is the ultimate fun hostess, and these two gals are drop dead gorgeous and live back up north where we all migrated from originally. I wanted to do something special for their mom, who stayed home to work her job while her girls ran off to the beach to have fun with their "Fairy Beach Godmother" (my daughter). They ran so hard having adventures here everyday, and I certainly couldn't keep up with them. However, it dawned on me that I had easy access to all the photos of the fun, so I made their mom a scrapbook. My only concern will be that one day the girls may fight over who gets the album, so I have figured that problem out also. I will supply them each with a cd of all the pages, both in high-resolution and web images. Problem solved!<br />
<br />
Okay, I promised a short post, so I'll stop here. I've been back into designing a little bit, so watch for some cool things to come here. I made a neat vacation frame/mask and some cool doodles, so I'll have those ready soon as well as some templates for you.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and especially to anyone who takes the few seconds to let me know you were here!<br />

Wow! Can you believe how fast the summer is flying away?! Some of you, no doubt, look forward to the return of the school bell and schedule; then others do not. Those that have children are busy gathering in the supplies, freshening up the little munchkins' wardrobes, and packing in the last bit of the family fun for the summer season. Here at the beach we will have more tourists during the month of August than we had as school let out in June. We that live here have to be extremely cautious while just driving to do our daily chores for the tourists get caught up in gazing at the sites we take for granted and do not know our roads as well. One more last holiday at the front of September, and all will quieten down!<br />

I've been purging files on my four internal hard drives to free up room for more digi goodness! I want to pass on a helpful tip I recently discovered quite by accident on a digi instructional site I visited. Some of us save psd files, some save our work as tiff files, and some save both types. I always read in forums of people complaining that tiff files take up too much room and were larger than their psd files. If that's the case on your computer, something is wrong with the way you are saving them, or the person you downloaded from did not know this tip either. Believe me, I have found an extreme number of boo-boos in my own stash, including my own. I am pretty much self-taught from the get-go, then did take some classes to help me learn my software and techniques, but nobody covered this handy tip. Your saved tiff file should always be smaller in size than your original psd file. There's a way to adjust your "save tiff" settings to make sure of this. It works every time! I had it wrong, was doing it wrong, and I've been scrapping since 2008. So imagine how many files I can fix now the right way and free up valuable room!! Here is an image that shows the correct <b style="background-color: white;">settings to get a quality layered tiff file in the smallest finished size . . .</b><br />

I hope you can see that clearly enough to copy it or save it for your own knowledge!! Valuable thing to know!!<br />

Allrighty then, I don't want to talk your ears off today, so I'll jump right into today's <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREEBIE</span></b>. I was in a creative mood after all the page scrapping I've done lately, so I made some papers for you. I ran across some old but wonderful overlays as I was purging files, so I had to stop and play. I found a beautiful color in my PSE which I chose to work with and call "Buttercup" in its original state. As I added overlays and played with the blend modes, colors began to change a bit. However, this is a great color for summer backgrounds and can also be carried into fall harvest themes, etc. I hope you'll find it useful. As I worked, I developed three slightly different sets of the same three patterns I was using, so I am going to upload all 3 sets for you to snag. I recommend downloading all of them, and I've named the papers so that you can put them all in the same folder and they will fall automatically into place. At that point, you'll be able to see the texture differences if you have a good eye. You may not be able to see the differences here; but, trust me, each set has subtle variations. You'll want them all. These are all jpg format, 12x12", 300 dpi. Here we go with previews and download links below each set: This is Version 1, Grunged & Plain,<br />

Isn't it flying by too fast!! Hope you had a grand Independence Day celebration with your loved ones!<br />
<br />
We are having intense heat here at the beach, but it is that time of year for two months. So much of the country is having immense rain that's amazing. And I saw fires on the news in California. Yikes! So different everywhere.<br />
<br />
Jumping right into my <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREEBIE</span></b> for you, a <b style="background-color: #eeeeee;">QUICK PAGE</b> designed from the kit <b>"Bluebird"</b> by <b>Jemima's Digital Boutique</b> over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. Hop over to the forum there if you want to collect from all the other monthly contestants in the QP contest so you'll have a nice ready made album again this month. It's always interesting to see how we can all use the same kit and come up with so many different looking pages. Very cool. This QP is in png format, 12x12-inches, 300 dpi. Here are the kit previews followed by a sample layout I completed and the QP I designed. Download links are below that, so snag it up!<br />

Leave me some love if you download so I know you stopped by. If you have time to look around, I posted 60-some pages of a vacation album I'm working on, so click on "My Layouts" tab at the top of this home page to go see that. I also posted a new dessert recipe which is so yummy and simple, see that under the "Recipe" tab. If you make it, you'll want to eventually try different flavors as I've suggested. Your family will thank you! We are trying to lose weight, eat smaller portions, get more exercise and all that; but I keep bumping into delicious recipes. Since I'm retired now, I have time to play in the kitchen like I never could when working so many jobs, so I can't resist making different dishes for fun. I feed my neighbors when I overdo it in my kitchen!</div>

Today we say goodbye to June 2015! Sorry so long between posts, but my home-front has been really busy this summer. I'm keeping one of my grandsons because his female parental unit is working an evening shift at a local hospital. He is happy here with us, so I'd rather he be here than anywhere else. He can swim, play, ride his bike, and love on my dog; so all that is good. Besides, there are no two people any more fun than Pawpa and Mimi! His eyes sparkle and he is full of 9 yr. old giggles when he's around us, so I know he's happy.<br />
<br />
I jumped on here to post my <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREE Quick Page</span></b> for June for you. This comes, as usual, from my participation in the monthly Quick Page Challenge over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. We normally have at least 12 or so participants, so if you're interested in collecting all the free Quick Pages, just hop over there to the forum and look under the "Monthly Challenges" section, locate the June 2015 Quick Page Challenge thread, and each participant will have his/her direct download link posted in that thread, just scroll through it to find them all. Easy-peezy! It will be enough pages to have a nice little free album, and the sizes are always 12 x 12-inches, but you can easily reduce them to 8 x 8-inches if you prefer that size. This month we got to play with the kit, Have Fun, by Happy Scrap Arts, and below is are the previews. Our pages come to you in PNG format, 300 dpi (for excellent print quality), so all you need do is slip your photos underneath the page.<br />

I had a weeks vacation during the first of this month, so I took a ton of photos since the trip included getting to see and spend time with my parents who are 92 and 87 years of age! I've spent a good deal of time scrapping those up so I can get an album to them soon. I will freely admit that I used most other designers' free Quick Pages to get them done rapidly. At their ages, I am always feeling pressure to hurry with everything. QPs just make it happen so much faster since I am the sort that can spend hours on one page when designing from scratch. If you want a tip: Since early spring of this year, I rediscovered <b><a href="http://www.gingerscraps.net/" target="_blank">Ginger Scraps</a></b>! I suggest you do the same! What an awesome site, so lively with friendly people that are so giving. I have a huge stash already and most of it has been free! They have a "Welcome Wagon" in their forum, so when you register there you can visit the Welcome Wagon and get a couple of free things from each designer! Then you can visit each designer's blog and Facebook pages and get more free things. I usually participate in their monthly challenges because they are so fun and well run, and when you complete 10 each month you receive another whole free kit!! Is that not awesome!??!! All the designers there are very knowledgeable and willing to help you anytime with questions you may have. I was with them through this year's National Scrapbooking Day celebration, and I won so many wonderful things, even a $100 shopping spree to the store! As if that hasn't been enough, for my birthday they gave me another free kit!! It was such a nice surprise!! If you are a digi-scrapper, VISIT THERE!! I cannot stress that strongly enough! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm going to start uploading my current scrapbook pages of my June trip for you to see, so if you're interested, they will be under the "layout" tab toward the top of my blog page. Credit for the QP designs go to the Gingerbread Ladies over at <b><a href="http://www.gingerscraps.net/" target="_blank">Ginger Scraps</a></b>. You'll get a good idea of what I've collected from them so far; and remember, it's only a small portion of my stash. Of course, I do buy supplies from them too, but these gals are so generous it's just almost unreal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you will leave me some love if you download my freebies. Do stop back by for the template coming soon!</div>

<br />Janytimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18078620855854768602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946650032458194627.post-37340217272988709162015-05-21T05:00:00.000-04:002015-05-21T05:00:00.056-04:00FREE QUICK PAGE - WISHING FOR SUMMERHello, my friends! May is flying by, school will soon be out and summer upon us. Here where I live it means a lot of heat, pool and beach time trying to stay cool. We tend to eat a lot of salads and cook everything else outside, either grill or the new smoker (which we love I'm afraid more than the grill).<br />
<br />
I'm wondering if everyone is Facebooking more and blogging less these days. What do you think? I still like trying to maintain a blog because it gives me a sense of having a specific place to keep things sorted. <br />
<br />
I am currently doing a 30-day trail of PhotoShop Elements 13 so I can decide if I like the newer changes enough to purchase it or wait for #14 to come out this fall. I'm using version 11, but I do like the larger interface of #13 on my screen. I do not like that they have done away with the magic wand tool, as I use that for so much and it helps me do things; lost without that. I will probably end up keeping two different versions loaded on my computer so I can go back and forth for the old functions that I don't wish to give up. <br />
<br />
Today I have a <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREE QUICK PAGE</span></b> for you made from the kit, "<b>Wishing For Summer</b>" by <b>Jan Waite of Waite For The Moment Designs</b> over at <b><a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a></b>. Their monthly QP challenge is in progress, so you can gather free QPs from all the participants by visiting the May 2015 QP challenge thread in the forum there. My page (and all others) are 12 x 12-inch, png format, 300 dpi for excellent print quality. If you prefer, you can easily reduce these to 8 x 8-inch page for easy home printing.<br />
<br />
Here is a look at the kit preview, and below that is my QP and the download links.<br />

Happy Easter, happy Spring, and so much more in my house. We always are having lots of birthdays in my extended family. At the beginning of April my folks celebrated 68 years of marriage, and my dad just turned 92 years young! Mom was 87 in February, too. I live a long way from them, and luckily they are quite independent and still have good mentation. What a milestone to be married for 68 years to the same person! Wow! I racked my brain to figure out something novel for my dad's birthday that he would like, you know, really like. Lately, I've gotten in the habit of sending them precooked food from some great websites. I figure that will help them out not to have to drag it in from the stores and then cook it. It arrives ready to eat! Dad commented recently that he feels he is "living large" getting those kinds of gifts. I've sent them their favorite kinds of wine from my favorite winery over the Christmas holidays. For dad's birthday, I finally realized they had never experienced one of those fruit arrangements from Edible Arrangements. So, I went online once again and poured over the many different styles until I landed on just the right one for their first experience. It had everything in it and was beautiful, and I ordered a small which was still huge for two people. My only hurdle was that the store was 1-1/2 hrs. from where my folks live, and they don't deliver out that far. Lucky for me, I have an old high school girlfriend and former neighbor living in the same city as the Edible store, and she offered to drive the gift over to my folks! Now how many of you have friends who would extend themselves like that??? Needless to say, it was a big hit and we visited during its arrival and consumption via phone. Very cool indeed! I gave my mom a cell phone last summer and taught her just the basics in a few days I spent with her. She can get texts and photos, has email, and can carry it with her and call people. I put dropbox on her phone, so her cell phone camera photos that she takes get uploaded automatically to online storage, and since I set that up for her, I can get in and see all the pictures she takes. I got to see the fruit arrangement and all her pictures by the next morning. Not too shabby, hey? She thinks all this technology is like magic!! I tried to get them started on a laptop when they were in their 60's, but it just didn't happen, so the cell phone is as far as I've been able to bring them up-to-date.<br />
<br />
I've been helping out babysitting after school for my gkids, and we are doing a thing called "photo-a-day" so we can text it to the great-grandparents. Plus, it gives me a lot of scrapping material, too! They like the idea also and are regular hams these days! Can't believe how fast they are growing up!<br />
<br />
I have a<b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;"> FREE QUICK PAGE</span></b> for you, my monthly participation in the I<a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">vy Scraps</a> Quick Page Contest. For April we are playing with "Dotty" by Katlen. My page is a png format, 300 dpi, 12 x 12" and can easily be reduced down to an 8 x 8" if you prefer. Just slip your photos under it and add your own journaling on top. Done! Here is the kit preview, then my Quick Page preview, and the download is beneath that.<br />

Each person designing a QP gives a direct download link to it in their forum post. Go snag all of them up by the end of this month. The first of each month we sign up to work with a new kit. The former month's links are up for 30 days after that month's contest closes. </div>

I hope to pop back in soon with more <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">free goodies</span></b> for you. I have them done, I just need to package them into zip files and get them uploaded so I can share. I have about three more alphas ready to go, some pre-made digital cards I know you'll like. Hang on with me and visit often. Leave some love if you download, so I know you like what I'm giving.</div>

The gkids are on Spring Break this coming week, their parents are both in real estate school from 9-5 daily, so my front door is already swinging both ways. Yesterday, I gathered them in from their sporting events, we made caramel apple cupcakes, they played inside and outside, then we made my homemade spaghetti and garlic/cheese toast for dinner Pawpa treated them to chocolate chip cookies before bed. Yes, they stayed over with me, as my nick-nick name is "Mimi Fun Pants"! <br />
<br />
Today I have a <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREE QUICK PAGE</span></b> for you from my monthly participation in the QP Challenge at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. This month we played with a kit named <b style="background-color: #ead1dc;">"Farm Mania"</b> courtesy of <b style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Mizfit Mania</b> there. My page was inspired from the recent photo of my hubby's grand-nephews, so I designed around that. My page is in png format, 12 x 12" square, 300 dpi. You can simply slip your photo beneath the opening, add a little journaling text on top of the page, and your DONE! You can also resize my QP to an 8 x 8" if that's the size you like to scrap. That size allows printing at home if you desire. Remember you can collect all the FREE Quick Pages made with this kit by all the March contestants by visiting that forum thread at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. Each contestant has posted their direct download link in the QP challenge forum thread for March. You may have to be registered in the forum to be able to see those links. Here is a preview of the Farm Mania Kit,<br />

Last night I was sorting out a kit I had collected last month through a site's daily download, and I discovered I had missed only one day of the downloads! Wouldn't you know it was the alphabet to the kit that I failed to collect! Darn it! So I looked at the designers preview and decided to do my best to make at least something that would blend that I could use with the cute kit. At any rate, that was the base inspiration for the eight sets of this alpha that I made. That and the fact that this is St. Patrick's Day month and, being of Irish descent, I had to make something to celebrate that!<br />
<br />
Today I am giving you this alpha in the three "Irish" colors; green, yellow, and orange. It is upper case A - Z, individual png files at 300 dpi. They are approximately 1.25 inches in diameter. I call them sticker alphas because each letter has a round paper sticker under it. I have left it unshadowed so you can add your own type of shadow style to it. You can easily resize these larger or smaller as you need for your pages. Here is the preview, and the download is below it.<br />

I am providing two different download links in case one of my sites runs out of bandwidth during any given month you can just use the other link.<br />
<br />
I have added layouts for the last two most recent months to my layouts page tab at the top of this home page, so take some time and have a look. It may help you get a tad of inspiration here and there.<br />
<br />
My little 9 yr. old granddaughter was in another gymnastics competition this weekend. Wow! She is in good shape to be able to keep up with all that physical activity almost every weekend plus her daily practice at the gym. Fit as a fiddle, that one! So focused also! Out of 96 gals she came in at 2nd in the vault, 5th in floor dance, 9th on the beam, 11th on the bars, and 7th all around. Her scores were up from 9.250 to 9.450, so she did well. There was a score of 9.650 and 9.825, so a couple of girls absolutely "nailed it" well as sometimes happens. I have found in these sorts of competitions that it is brutal because you only have once chance to do it right. Sometimes you are at the top of your game, but sometimes not. I marvel at this type of sport! It's awesome to watch!!<br />
<br />
I'm knitting and crocheting like a fiend this winter, so I hope to add some photos and patterns to that page tab above for those of you that like to dabble with sticks and yarns! Such fun!<br />
<br />
I need to perform a little maintenance work on the look of this blog. I don't feel like I am very capable when it comes to that, but I see some things have disappeared from linkage in the side column. Must put that on my "to do" list!<br />
<br />
Check back often. I will most likely post often this month to give you the other 5 or so colors I did in this alpha above. They are very springy looking and will blend with almost any fun looking kit.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful week! I'm looking forward to the first day of Spring and the return soon of Daylight Savings Time!!<br />
<br />

With it comes the return of Daylight Savings Time, of which I am a huge fan because I prefer more daylight in the evening hours because I am personally solar powered, and the official coming of Spring happens this month! What could be more delightful after all the snowy weather that has been hitting so hard in many portions of our country this winter?!!<br />
<br />
I have another <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">free</span></b> goodie for you today from my participation in the monthly challenges over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a> in their forum. I found enough time to do the Element Challenge where we receive a few random items and use them to make something new. In addition to the items we are given, we are allowed to use only two other things, so I used a shape from within my designing software program and a background paper from my stash. Below is a preview of the element I ended up making, and the download link is below that. My element is in png format at 300 dpi and is easily resized larger or smaller and also useful in most scrapping programs. Snag it up for your own stash, and I hope you will enjoy it.<br />

Allow me to start your day with a <b style="background-color: yellow;">FREE</b> goodie! I love designing cards and wish I would focus on it more than I do! I make quite a few for my own personal use throughout the year because I have so many digi-scraps to play with, but for your sake I need to focus on making some just for you to have on hand. It certainly ends up saving quite a bit of money when you can just pull one of these babies up on your computer and print it off when you need it. I will make an effort to supply you with more of these this year!<br />
<br />
I was inspired to create this printable card for the February Card Challenge over in the forum at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. Such a wonderful group of scrappers hang out there, and everyone is so very helpful and pleasant to know. If you don't hang out there, you are missing quite a lot of fun every month.<br />
<br />
We were given some poems and quotes to play with and, of course, February being Valentine's month, there was an underlying theme of LOVE. My card is in jpg format at 300 dpi for excellent print quality. It is meant to be the 7 x 5" front of a foldable card. I hope you can use and enjoy it sometime! Here is a peek,<br />

With coffee in hand, I'm getting your day off to a good start! My coffee comes from a K-cup made by The Donut Shop, medium roast; is then brewed through a Bunn single cup brewer, then has two tsp of Coffee-Mate added and a slurp of Nestles' liquid creamer in the Creme Brulee flavor! Oh wow, it's a good concoction!! And quick too!! Over the years I've even managed to convert my own brother to a K-cup brewer for convenience, and he was a die-hard bean roaster and grinder gourmet! <br />
<br />
Today I have an interesting <b style="background-color: #fff2cc;">freebie</b> for you. It's a Quick Page with a February 2016 calendar grid on it, so you fill it up and use it for next year for yourself or as a gift. It is made from the same kit my February QP was made from, <b style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">"Clowning Around" by Lizard Dau Designs</b> over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. This was made for the Feb. 2015 Calendar Challenge. So here is a look at the finished layout I made,<br />

Yeah! I don't care much for the winter months of January and February, even here at the beach! They are two months I could just delete from my calendar and never miss them at all. The best parts of them are several family and friend's birthday celebrations. I did do a weekend of traveling with my daughter and her family to see my only granddaughter perform in a state-wide gymnastic competition, and that's always fun! <br />
<br />
On the 18th of this month, my dog, Duffy, who will be 3 yrs. old on St. Patrick's Day, had his first seizure of some type which scared the life out of me and my hubby. We suspect epilepsy, though this is the first sign of it. Though my husband is very emotional, he is able to cope better in crisis mode than I do, and he handled the dog's symptoms while I called and found a vet who was still open at the 6 p.m. hour of the day. My hubby is very used to doing "mouth-to-muzzle" resuscitation to get a dog's breathing started again, so he performed that immediately when he saw the distress. Duffy came out of the seizure quickly and returned to his normal self much faster than we did. The vet gave him an quick physical exam, some blood work; and we are scheduled for a recheck on the blood in early March just to make some comparisons in a few of the values. Everything seems pretty normal. I know that seizures are a neurological disorder, and there is very little warning of them occurring, so we are going to watch him and eventually decide if he needs medical treatment based on how often they occur. Such an event changes the way you live. I don't feel comfortable leaving him unattended now. I find myself scheduling my outings for errands, etc., when the other half is home to watch the dog. You know how pets become such a large part of your family. If anyone has experience with this type of thing, please feel free to leave me some comments or advice.<br />
<br />
I have three <b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">FREEBIES</span></b> lined up for you, and I will post one each day for the next three days, so be sure to check back. I'm doing them now and will put them on "auto post" so there will be no messing up or not getting it done! <br />

<br />
My pages, as always, are in png format so you can just slip you photo beneath the opening behind the page and write your journaling on top. They are 12x12" square at 300 dpi for excellent print quality. You can, of course, easily resize them smaller to an 8x8" square in your own software program if you like. If you would like to collect all the other free QPs made with this kit, just visit the February 2015 Quick Page Challenge forum thread over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a>. Each participant will have a post in that thread with a direct download link for their page. You may have to be registered in the forum to be able to see the whole thread. This will certainly be a pretty album, and I'm excited to collect them all.<br />

I've been knitting like crazy on some new cowl patterns since our weather is cooler here. I'm very spastic with my hobbies, moving from one thing to another during different seasons. I make a lot of jewelry when the weather is unbearably hot, then I gradually shift into textiles during cooler weather. I'll show you what I'm making on my "knitting/crochet page" tab above after I resize my photos for the web. I'll try to put a link to get the free patterns when I post the photos. Need to add some layout photos on that tab too! I do my digi-scrapping in all seasons! <br />
<br />
You all stay warm, and don't forget to pop back by tomorrow and the next day for another QP and a printable card freebie!<br />

My apology for being "missing in action" for about six months! Geez! Even I would think I could do better than that, but my only explanation is that "life happens" and sometimes you get completely off track! It's reality!<div>

To fill you in quickly in a very condensed manner: I finally built and got my new desktop in late August which was a "have to" situation. It's a humdinger with all new stuff, several large internal hard drives, new Windows, new keyboard, and a new much larger monitor to boot! I am still working to learn its operations and working kinks out of it. I completely put my digi-scrapping aside to focus on learning this new equipment. In the meantime, a friend at work rekindled my desire to make jewelry; so we've joined forces and have made a ton of pretties to sell at local fairs and festivals together! I retired completely from work on Halloween, then came the holidays, and now here I am, finally! I'm finally at home every day, all day as I have dreamed of for a million years. I'm a total crafter by heart, so I stay busy with all sorts of hobbies and so many things that need me to finish what I started (no matter when that was). My three grandchildren are also getting a lot more of my attention than ever possible before! We've had sleep-overs and tons of fun! My daughter graduated in November from The American School of Broadcasting and has begun the pursuit of her life-long dream to have a career in broadcasting. She currently hosts DJ Bingo and Trivia in local restaurants in her evening hours and is doing an internet radio show weekdays from 7-11 a.m. at Smooth Jazz and Friends (dot com). She continues to do voice-over work from home, so I help her out with her children when she needs me. It's been busy!! I've always heard people say you have to adjust to being retired, but so far, it's been about the same pace as working, just busy in a different way!</div>

I missed giving you a few Quick Pages that I had done, but I will eventually catch that up at some point and attempt to get my digital work back on track. I did manage to make a Thanksgiving album and get it printed for a Christmas gift! Woohoo!!</div>

Today, I have a <span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;"><b>FREE QUICK PAGE</b></span> for you! I have participated in the January QP challenge over at <a href="http://www.ivyscraps.com/" target="_blank">Ivy Scraps</a> to get my feet wet again. We played with a kit called "SHELLBY" by Gloria Val Verde and made a 12 x 12", 300 dpi QP in png format. If you visit the the January 2015 Quick Page thread of the forum there, you can pick up about 12 or so free Quick Pages, and you'll have enough to make an album by the end of this month. The download links should be posted in each participants post and should be active at least until the end of February so you can collect them. You may have to be registered in the forum to see the links. Here are the previews of the kit and the QP I made for you with download links below,</div>

I've revisited a bunch of my favorite digital scrapbooking websites trying to catch up on what is trending these days. I've also found some of my old favorite sites have closed down, and some have merely changed their format. </div>

I found a wonderful Art Journaling challenge going on monthly over at <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/" target="_blank">The Studio</a>, and I'm particularly interested in that because it is way outside of my own comfort zone. I think this year I will push myself to do those and maybe eventually I will become more comfortable. The pages over there that have been made for that challenge are simply out-of-this-world beautiful and very inspiring to me. It always amazes me how people can create so many different images using the same basic supplies. Everyone's mind works so differently, and it's always a thrill to see all the creativity involved with the finished pages! I tried to make a tribute page about my daughter's journey in life from achieving becoming a certified dog groomer to finishing her degree in broadcasting. We were provided some supplies to work with, and here is the layout I designed with them.</div>

Maybe with some monthly practice I will get better and more comfortable with this style! I had fun making this although I didn't feel as though I had a plan. It just sort of happened as I went. Maybe that's the whole concept, I'm not sure! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, if you've stopped and visited with me after all this time, I must thank you profusely!! Please leave a comment so I'll know you were by. I hope to bring you lots more free goodies as I jump back into my digital fun!</div>

I'm in the process of putting more of my jewelry in my online Etsy store, and the little gadget at the top of this page will take you there if you care to look at some of my hobby work. I have a ton of earrings to put in there, some bracelets, and a few necklace sets so far. I've taken some metal-smithing classes to learn a few new tricks of the jewelry trade. It's winter now, even here at the beach, so I've also got my knitting needles in hand! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Take care, the weekend is almost here!</div>
