Color Challenge Freebie for You!

Hello everyone!!! Are you all done with your Christmas shopping yet??? Not ME!! I still have so much to get done, and not much time to do it in. I did get some breads baked. I made some pistachio nut and some lemon poppy seed breads. So I at least have a start on the baking. I still have to make some date nut bread, and almond poppy seed, and maybe some fudge. My DH does all the rest of the baking and candy making. He makes the chocolate covered peanuts, rice crispy bars, cookies, chex mix, chocolate covered pretzels, and whatever else he decides to come up with. And believe me he sure does an awesome job!!

Well I have done it again! I made a kit for Kimb's color challenge at DSO this month. I am having so much fun doing Kim's color challenges and I just love sharing with all of you. There are 10 papers and 17 elements in the kit. Here's the preview for you all.

Here are the downloads.

It is one of the best monthly challenges I have ever been a part of.

Birthday Treats!!

As many of you know yesterday was my birthday! I received so many happy birthday wishes and I just want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. It makes a person feel good to have so many share this special day with me. I would love to show everyone the birthday pages that I have received and to offer all of you that visit my blog a gift from me. So let's get started with the birthday pages first!!

This first one is from my SBM friend and blog follower Elle (moonlightpearl). She made this beautiful page from my freebies. Isn't it gorgeous!! It makes me feel good to see what someone has been creating with my creations. Thank you Elle!!

This one is from another SBM friend and fellow CT member Marion!! Marion I love the black and the sparkles, and it sure put a sparkle in my heart. Thank you for this special card!!!

This beautiful, colorful page is from Rosana! She is another good friend I made on SBM. Rosana makes some amazing pages and is always there to wish you a happy birthday. She also makes lots of goodies to share with us on the forums. Thank you Rosana!

This one is sooooo pretty Crops!! This was made by my very good friend Crops, whom I adore. She is another special friend that I met on SBM and who has taught me many new things. We are also on 2 CT teams together. Thank you for this lovely card my friend.

Here is another beauty!! I absolutely love this one too. Sue (sacannon) made this for me yesterday as well. She is another very good friend that I first met on SBM and she is so giving with her freebies and is always there to give you support when you need it. All of you girls rock! Than I received many many birthday wishes and blinkies and such from all of the wonderful, caring, giving ladies at SBM. I have also received many birthday wishes from all the other forums that I visit and I just want to say thankyou from the bottom of my heart to each and everyone of you for being a part of my special day!! And as my thank you to all of you I have a mini kit that I would love to share with you. It goes with the paper and frame that I left you last week, and I sure hope that you can use it for your many Christmas pages, and there are things in the kit that you can use for pages that are not Christmas related, because I do know that not everyone celebrates Christmas.

There are 8 papers and 4 embellishments. I will be adding more to this kit so keep checking back for the add-ons.

That's all for today. Remember I will be posting more goodies to go with this kit as I get them made. Hope you enjoy it. Take care and be safe.

Family Time

The holidays are upon us and this is the time to put everything else aside and think of family and friends. Thanksgiving is this week and families are coming together for the festivities. Children are coming home from college, siblings are coming home from all over near and far all to be with family and celebrate. It's a good feeling to be surrounded by family and loved ones. This is a time to be happy, but I don't feel the happiness this year because I can't be with all my children. There are circumstances that keep them away. But I will be thinking of them this holiday season and praying that they too will be safe this holiday and always. I would like to wish all of you reading this a very Happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

I have been extremely busy these past weeks and don't get on my blog as often as I would like. But I do try to take time and create something every week, whether it's a LO or a few papers. This is what keeps me going, my love for digi scrapping and all of my cyber friends. I have been given a couple of awards a while back and haven't had the time to share them, so I would like to take the time to do that now. The first award comes from my good friend and fellow digi scrapper Jazzieal. She sent me the Kreative Award.Now I am supposed to name 7 things I love and than pass it on to 7 people.

1. My children are number one. They are my lifeline and I love each of them for thier own personalities and gifts to life.

2. My DH for everything he does for me and being there for me and for especially being my rock.

3. My grandchildren. They are all so special each in thier own way. I love them all and each individually.

4. My Best Friend Laura for always being there for me, and for being my partner in crime. We have laughed, cried, learned, loved and so much more for the past 42 years. She is much more than a best friend, she is my other half.

5. My brother and sisters for putting up with me all these years!!

6. My cyber friends are ever so special to me--so supportive and caring, and they share a love for my 7th love--Digital Scrapbooking!! To all my cyber friends-thank you all for helping me learn new things, sharing your talents with me and others, thank you for all the support you are so willing to give when needed, and especially for all the laughs we have shared.

Now I must give this award to 7 more people---The thing is I would like to do what I have seen other award recipients do and that is to give this award and my Sweety Award from Renee

to everyone reading my blog. Because if it wasn't for my readers I wouldn't have a reason to blog and share my creations with. Everyone that comes and reads my blog and downloads my freebies and leave wonderful comments are also creative and a bunch of sweeties. Lots of them don't have blogs for me to pass the award onto, so I just want to say thank you and all of you deserve these awards as well. I would also like to share these with some of my dear digi friends who have encouraged me and helped me in so many ways traveling down my digi path. Special heartfelt thanks go to Michelle McCoy, Kim Broedelet, Jazzieal, Crops2dawn, Melanie, Fiona, Deanne, all my special friends at SBM and all my fellow CT members for Wolvsie, Kim, Deanne and Fiona. You ladies mean the world to me and thank you!!

Now I want to show you some new WA that Jazzieal has done.

These are soooo perfect for your Christmas pages and Christmas cards. You can find them exclusively at DSO . The first set of words "Christmas Words" is currently 25% off--so head on over to her store at DSO and pick them up. While you are there check out all the other wordart she has. There is something for everyone!!

And now I have some Lo's to show you. The first one is to celebrate the upcoming Christmas season. It is of our dear granddaughter.

We got this doll for her 2 years ago for Christmas to add to her collection, and she absolutely loves her. This Christmas she is a new mom with a real doll of her own. A beautiful new daughter Alexia. If you remember I did a page of Alexia earlier on my blog.
I used a new kit by Inspiredmommiedesigns called "I Believe in Santa" which can be found at Pretty Scrappy. I also used her WA from her new "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" pack. Other credits: Birthstone ornament by Kitten Scraps-a freebie on her blog, the raindrops are from LouCeeCreations and it is a freebie in her kit for Kimb's color challenge this month at DSO.

I would like to show you Kimb's new CU grab bag which you can find on sale exclusively at DSO. It is soooooo full of the cutest goodies. It's only $6.00 right now and you can't go wrong. If you have ever purchased one of her grab bags you know you get more than your money's worth. It's insane the amount of things you get in one of her grab bags, and this one is no different. I made the papers in this with some of the goodies in her bag. Just look at that adorable Penguin!!!

And here is the LO I did using her new grab bag. This is our dear grandson! I just loved the outfit he was wearing that Christmas, and hanging out with our dalmation in his little santa hat. This is just too cute. I made the papers and frame in this LO using some things from Kim's grab bag.
Now for the freebie!! I would love to share with you the paper and frame from my LO.

So if you would love to have it you can get it here. All I ask is that if you download it please leave me some love. I love reading your comments!!! Well that's it for today!!! Hope you all made it this far. Until next time have fun and stay safe!!
