A Quick Hello

Hi all! Just a few quick things. There will be a Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters on Thursday night. Should be a blast - Chelle's hosting! I won't be able to make it. I have a church activity to go to. I'll be learning to make homemade bread...yum! Maybe I'll take some pics.



And a little plug...if you haven't signed up for my newsletter yet, you might want to before Friday. There may be a little freebie inside this issue...you never know!

New Release - Mini Glitz Alphas!

Here'a little inspiration from the late Michael Jackson. I wasn't a huge MJ fan...just as much as the next guy, but he sure loved the glitter (remember the glove?)! This alpha pack comes in both gold and silver to complement many different LOs. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Here's what I created so far - I am still on a Christmas kick from last week!


Here's a LO from Cristina also using the silver alpha.

Happy Scrapping!

Thanks to all of you who signed up for my newsletter this week! I hope you enjoy your freebie. If you haven't signed up yet, look to the left - I'd love to have you on my list!

I am so excited about my release this week. I couldn't wait to use it, so I decided to dress up my blog with it! It's a coordinating alpha and date set. They are the perfect colors and so versatile. You'll find yourself reaching for these time and time again. Each product is $2 individually, or for this week only, you can get BOTH products for only $3! It's "a bit of a deal!"

Aren't they all so great? I love them. I also used them for a LO...

Past Matters

I'm hosting the Past Matters challenge at ScrapMatters now. The challenge is to create a LO showcasing a few generations from your family history. I created this LO of my mom, grandma and great-grandma. I am so thankful for them and their examples of being great moms. I never knew my great-grandma, but I know she was a great mom because I knew my grandma. Before I get all mushy, come play along with me this month. You can find the challenge details here.

Sign Up for my Newsletter

I finally did it! I managed to create a newsletter sign up. Sign up over there on the left before Friday morning to receive the first edition with a little freebie!

A Blog Makeover...

Pardon my dust as I try to make over my blog...

I have a blinkie now - snag it on the left, and a newsletter sign up should be coming up shortly. We'll see! Usually that means a month or so. Haha!

I'm so excited about having widened my middle column - can't wait to see those LOs and kit previews in all their 600 pixel glory!

New Release - On the Front Porch and a Freebie

I'm so excited about my new release for today! I started with the idea of an Independence Day kit; however, the kit had other ideas. I love when I am steered in a different direction by the kit. I give to you...On the Front Porch. It's sort of a heritage, homespun, Americana kit. I hope you like it! It's available here at ScrapMatters, AND it's on sale (as is everything else at SM!). Go grab it now!

Here's a LO that I created with some of my favorite childhood pics. My mom thought it would be fun for us to dress up in her clothes and my dad's and then fill in the extra room with pillows. I did not want any part of it!


Here are a few other LO's to showcase On the Front Porch
