Hey y'all - it has been one very long week, and I'm glad that the work part of it is over. I've been praying for more time to create, and it looks like God is answering my prayers. Has anyone else noticed that you may get what you pray for, but not exactly in the way that you had hoped? My "real" job is work at home telephone customer service. It's a good job, and most of the time I really enjoy it, but lately I've been wishing that I could cut my hours a bit so that I'd have more time to focus on designing. Well, I may be able to do that in the very near future. My current contract is ending unexpectedly, and the only available openings are part time. I may find myself working part time very soon.
On a brighter note, I really wanted to share a layout done by Judith this week. She used Decorator Series Shabby & Chic, and I love the layering she did down the side. You can leave her some love in the Digitals gallery by clicking on the image.
Don't forget that we still have the Tuesday Treat up until the next one comes along, so if you like it and you didn't get it yet, time is running out. I have a new Sampler up in the store. Its based on my newest kit, Fleur. You won't want to miss this Sampler, it includes a special element created by Creative Team Member, Judith Blanchard and I know you're going to love it!
Are you glad when the end of the week comes along, or do you wish there was a little more time left? Drop me a note and let me know.

Can you believe that it's May 1st already? It's so hard to believe that winter has come and gone and we're almost halfway through the year. I used to think my Mama was not quite right in the head when she'd say how quickly time flies, but these days I know exactly what she was talking about.
I think being aware of how quickly time flies and how important it is to capture all those moments in our lives before they're gone is what makes today's freebie so important to me. The talented Yvonne made a beautiful quick page from Memories. Here's a look at the kit. You can purchase this and other Katie Mann designs, by clicking on the image.
Here's a preview of the quick page.

Yvonne and I hope that you enjoy this quick page. Be sure to leave a comment letting Yvonne know what you think!

I can't believe that it's finally Saturday. Better than that, it's only 7:30 on Saturday night and my homework for the rest of the week is done and turned in. I actually have a little free time for myself for a change, and I'm struggling over whether I want to go finish the 2nd book in The Hunger Games series, or play with graphics. Don't hate me, but I think reading is going to win. I'll have another sneak peek of my next kit for you for tomorrow's Sneak Peek Sunday.
You can still get the 2nd quickpage made with Austin, and I hope that you like it as much as I do!

The fun with Austin isn't over yet. I have another quick page to share.

It's been a bit since I released my last kit, Alice. This one took a bit longer for a good reason. This is the kit that I've named for my son, Austin. I've done kits inspired by many of my family members, but haven't done one for the person who first inspired me to scrap and then to design. My son Austin is a complex individual. He likes to read and gets good grades. He likes to cook and craft. He even likes to go shopping and watch chick flicks. He also likes to play football, fish, and hang out with his Dad and uncles. I've tried to include a wide variety of papers and elements in this kit, because he is such a diverse personality.
I loved playing with this kit while I was making it, so I put together a couple of quick pages for you. I have the first one available for download now.

This download is no longer available. They aren't Easter eggs, and they don't come in a basket, but I have Easter gifts just the same. I'm giving away not one, but two quick pages made with elements from
Easter Parade.
Another great product using my Easter Parade kit is the Easter Parade Bracket Album. This is a great standalone item for making bracket shaped albums, but each bracket page can be used as a cluster on a full-size page.
Here's an example done by Caroline:
Feel free to click the image to leave her some love in the Digitals GalleryAnd now that you've read through all that (you did read it all, didn't you?), here are the freebies!
I hope you and your family have a blessed holiday!

Some of you may not know that I have a free sample in the store, available for you to download and try out. This lets you check the qualify of my work for yourself before you buy. And for those of you who own the Barry kit, this gives you a chance to get a few more pieces. Just click on the image to go get it!

I'm a work at home mom to my wonderful son. Without him, I would never have discovered scrapbooking. Scrapbooking was love at first sight for me, since it lets me incorporate so many of my other crafting skills.
