Free 6x6 album

2008-03-27T07:58:00.002-05:00

Yep a free album. I made it from my new kit called Waiting for Spring. I really need to sell the actual kit, but am not sure how that will happen right now. :/

Anyway, the album is made up of 8 png and jpg files! Perfect for a mini brag book gift. I hope you enjoy it.

Layout share

2007-10-11T21:16:00.000-05:00

Here is a LO I did for this weeks Lifts With a Twist. Kelly Sauvage has some neato things in her store, but I just bought this kit and was eager to use it.
This photo is just over a year old... man I HAVE lost weight!! Sometimes you can't tell by looking at yourself everyday, but wow. I'm so happy now! I was thinking it was all for nothing, and now I have remotivated myself! Woohoo!

Anyway, The kit is called Being Me, and it comes in 2 parts, plus a button set. I also used a freebie from Gina's blog (the word art).
I am very happy with it. What a great challange!

Hugs,
Renee

New Freebie & request

2007-10-07T00:53:00.000-05:00

Good Morning everyone!
The kit I have been working on is finished, and it is near and dear to my heart. Named after my grandma who died from Breast Cancer, I have a big request if you download it: Educate yourself about Breast Cancer! Please learn what you can do to both prevent and treat. If you don't do self-breast exams, please start. Get that mammogram! And, if you already do these things (YAY!), please share your knowledge with other women. Visit Susan G Komen for the Cure or Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization. Both sites have a wealth of information. Thank you in advance!

Here is a layout I did with the kit. It is of me and my grandma when I was about 7-ish.

Her name was Marguerite, but we couldn't pronounce it, so she became Grandma Tony (Tony is my grandpa's name!).

I really hope that you enjoy this kit.

LO for Lifts with a Twist

2007-09-20T21:10:00.000-05:00

Here is the LO I did for this weeks challenge. I so love this! I hope it isn't too different from the original LO we were to use as a scraplift. My photo was such a crappy picture... too dark! I lightened it up and added a couple of filters. The end result was the look of an old faded photo, though I took it minutes before! LOL

The links should be easier to view, and I am finally happy with the overall layout. I gotta have my purple! LOL I would love to get the font a bit bigger than it is for the overall site, but the only thing I can seem to change it to is gigantic, and it looks a little wierd that way. Oh well!

I've added 2 more products to my store! This has been a great month as far as creativity goes. :)

The first kit is called Moodier, and I love the colors. I was really depressed when I designed it, and the colors are actually very comforting to me.

The second is a Saint Patrick's Day kit called Shamrocks and Rainbows. I had no intention of doing a kit for this day, but when the muse strikes... lol

I hope you enjoy them both! Happy Scrapping!

You can purchase it HERE

Name My Kit and Win Contest Winner!

2006-02-10T16:03:00.000-06:00

Congrats to Margaret aka Maggie965 for submitting the winning name: "Tropical Bliss!"
The choices were all very good, and I had a hard time choosing. I had to keep narrowing it down! heehee But I chose her name because I felt "tropical" discribed the colors perfectly. They are orange, lime, lemon, pink grapfruit... and mango, papaya, avacado, dragon fruit... or cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, Persian melon... you see what I mean? And with it being Feb/Valentine's Day, bliss worked perfectly!
Thank you very much Margaret!

Do you love cute?

2006-02-07T07:48:00.000-06:00

Then go over to Cute Overload. By the time you are done browsing around you'll be so full of cute that you will beg for pins stabbed in your eyes.

http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/

Seriously though, I am adding it to my links... I'm a sucker for cute!!! I'm thinking a whole scrapbook of just cute!

2006-02-03T14:38:00.000-06:00

I Have TWO new kits available in my store!
The first one is called Moody, and is the perfect kit for teenage girls. The angst filled ones, like you used to be...LOL It is grungy and pretty and I know you will like it!
The second one is called Crush, and it is a MEGA Valentine's Day kit! Jammed packed with papers and elements, you will surely find yourself scrapping many layouts!
