New Month-New Pick UR Bits at DSO

Hi everyone!!! Spring is here! YOOHOO! It was a beautiful, gorgeous day yesterday and I was loving it!! I even took some pictures to show that Spring has sprung!! Take a look at these.




As you can see the flowers are springing out of the dirt and I am sooooooo excited that Spring is finally here!!!
Along with April showers we have “Pick UR Bits” at DSO. It’s a new month with a new collaboration kit by the DSO designers called “Montage”. What this means is you don’t have to buy the entire kit, you get to purchase the bits of the kit that you like. It is really an awesome idea and it saves you money too.
Here is Kimb’s portion of the kit.



And this is just Kim’s portions to the kit, wait till you see everyone elses too. I am absolutely loving it!!
Here are a couple LO’s I made using just Kim’s portion.

This is our sweet granddaughter and her daughter.

This is some more of our grandchildren with their other grandfather who has passed away. He sooo loved his grandchildren and he spent a lot of time with them. He could always put a smile on your face no matter how you were feeling. Here is what the poem says:
In Our Hearts © Rose de Leon
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
He will be in everyone’s heart forever.
Here is the preview of all the parts to this months pickurbits.

And to top it all off both DSO and DSV are having Easter sales this weekend.


Are you still here? I hope so, because if you made it this far I have a freebie gift for you too. I made a QP out of the first LO above. I hope you like. All I ask is that you leave a simple comment to let me know you liked it. I like to hear what people think and I would love to see any pages you make using it too. I love to see what others do with the Qp’s.

Well now that I wrote a book for you all to read I must say goodbye till next time. Have fun and be safe.

Wonderful

We had another beautiful day today. The sun was shining and the weather was nice. We went to Brunch this morning at a place called Breaking Bread. They only serve on Saturdays and Sundays and they have a great buffet style brunch. I have been there a couple times with my girlfriend, and this was the first time I took my honey, and he really enjoyed it. Than we did some shopping and were pricing some LCD tvs They are rather expensive and decided we would wait before we get one. We currently have a 55'” flat screen HDTV but the glare on the tv is terrible and makes it hard to watch during the day when the sun is shining; but we will invest in ways to shade the windows for now. But let me tell you the clarity is awesome on the LCD screens.
I am excited to announce that I have joined the CT team for Bonnie VanEsch. I really love her designs and am happy and honored to be a part of her team. Today I have a couple LO’s I did using her newest kit “Wonderful” and you can find it here.

On sale for $3.80. Here are my pages I made using this kit. I also used Jazzy’s Wordstodelite word set “Words About Life” which can be found here at DSO.

See what I mean by a beautiful kit. and here is my 2nd page

This is our dear granddaughter holding her new little cousin and our great granddaughter. I also used Jazzy’s Words About Life WA in this page, which can be found here at DSO. I made a QP of the first page. And below is my freebie QP for all of you that want it, just click on the preview to download it. All I ask is you please leave a comment letting me know that you like it. **Link Expired**

Carousels

Hi everyone!!!   The week has been so gorgeous here.  We have had temps in the 50’s!!!  WOOHOO!  That means Spring is right around the corner!  Unfortunately the temps are dropping tomorrow and we are expected to get snow on Saturday.  That’s Wisconsin weather for you—one day in the 50’s and the next day it’s snowing!!!  But with Spring on the way that means Summer won’t be far behind.  And what comes to mind when you think of Summer??  Carnivals and Fairs!  And when I think of Summer Fairs I think of Carousels!!!  Oh yeah!!!  Those gorgeous horses on the carousels—they are so pretty.  If you love carousels like I do than you are going to love Kimb’s new kit “Merraround”!    It’s gorgeous and there’s unlimited possiblities with this kit.  Here take a look at what’s in the kit.

There is sooooo much in this kit and the elements are awesome, and the carousel is GORGEOUS!!!!  And she even included an alpha!

Now take a look at the close-up detail!

I couldn’t help but play with this one!  Here is a page I did!

and here is the page that Kim made,

This kit is currently on sale at DSO.

Color Challenge and Freebie

Here I am again---getting my color challenge contribution right under the wire again!! I started on a kit early in the month, but than things came up and I never finished it so I did a LO and I am giving you the frame from my LO. Hope you like it!! This post has to be short because I need to get to bed and finish working on my taxes tomorrow!!! Ugggh! I hate doing my taxes, but this year I should get a decent refund! :)

Here is my page. This is my dear great granddaughter and one of her grandpas.

I used some of the freebies on the challenge blog to make my page. Thanks go to Crops2dawn, Kimb designs. I also used WA from Jazzy's Words to Delite "A sunshine day" which can be found at DSO. I also used some items from Numb bum, disasterpiece Studios and Redju Designs.
