~~Freebie-Purple Dreams QP/Calender ~~

I haven't done to good once again this year with posting. I don't know what is going on with me, but when I sit down to try to make new things my mind just goes blank. *sigh*
This is a QP/Calender that I made last month and am just now posting it for you to snag.
I make one of these every year, print it out, and hang it up on my wall.
Enjoy!!!

~~Getting Better~~

I'll make this short! This is just a QP that I made the other day. Thought I'd share it here for anyone that might want to use it.

I know you hear this ALL the time from the different designers out there.....and I'm going to say it too. It sure would be nice if you could be polite and say "Thank You" as you snag our stuff. I don't really stress over this because I figure just the amount of downloads I get tell me just what is thought of what I offer here for your taking. BUT.....I'm more or less mentioning this for all those other designers out there ....
please be kind and leave a "Thank You" when you snag.
Enjoy!

~~Green Stripes Calendar~~

OK....so I've not been very good so far at keeping this blog up. Real life seems to get in the way at times. *sigh* I have however made several different things to post, just haven't been able to sit down long enough to upload etc.
Tonight is quiet around here (finally) so thought I'd post this real fast.

I got the idea to put a full years calendar on a QP when a few years ago I had taken the grand kids to have pictures done. The company that I got the picture from also gave me a calendar with all the grand kids. I hung it here in my computer room and used it many times.
So.....I thought I'd make one for this year and see how it looked. It turned out just great when I printed it out. Now I'm sharing it with you all as well. Hope you can find a use for this.

~~Blue Wonder~~

OK.....so I've been playing around again with a few things and came up with this QP. I started this QP due to a couple of pictures I had of my grandson. Once I got done with it I decided I'd give it to all of you as well. I hope you all can find a use for it.

I have a couple more things to share with everyone and may get it posted today. If not, then I'll have them posted real soon. I may put another QP I did over on the Blog Emma and I have together.

Anyway.......here is the link for you to snag this QP

~~Birthday Quick Page-3~~

Well, it's not raining today in "not so sunny California".....but it sure did rain a lot last night! That's OK cuz we really need it. They say (not sure who "they" are) that we are going to have a cold and long winter this year. Good! I can handle the cold much better then the heat. *smile*

Yesterday I gave you a Quick Page from Emma's Birthday Kit. I decided to add a "title" to it because I was working on a LO for our grandson. I decided this morning that I'd go ahead and share this QP with you all just in case you might be able to use it too.
If you go back in my archives here, you will find that I had done another QP with this same kit....you are welcome to snag it if you like.

Don't forget.....Emma and I have another Blog for you to go and snag more things! *Smile* I will be uploading another QP that I have done. You will have to go over to that Blog to see and snag! *Smile*

OK.....so here is the QP you came for!
BIRTHDAY QP-3

Enjoy!!!
Hugs 'n Stuff,

~~Birthday Quick Page~~

My friend Emma has been working on a "Birthday Kit." She sent me what she had and asked if I would make a Quick Page for her. Well...of course I was eager to get started as I loved all the colors she had picked out. So I got started right away and this is the outcome. *smile*

If you would like the full kit, you may go over to EMMA'S BLOG and grab it. While you are there please be sure to show her some "love" for all the time she puts in making these freebies for everyone.

~~Quick Page Freebie~~

I have been very busy these past few months with our races. We still have another couple of months of racing then we will finally break for winter. I can hardly wait! *smile*

The other day I had some time to play around in PSP and made this Quick Page. I figured I'd upload it and share it with anyone that would like it.

One more thing.....comments are always welcome! *smile*

Enjoy!!!

Birthday QP Freebie!

Hope everyone had a nice Easter this past weekend. It seems like Easter just came way to soon this year, and I wasn't really ready for it. Just the same though....ours was a good one. Spent the day with kids and grand kids! *Smile*


My friend "Emma" has been at it again *smile* and has made another kit. She asked me if I would make a QP using her new kit. Below is a preview of what I came up with using some of the items in her kit.
DOWNLOAD BIRTHDAY QUICKPAGE

If you would like to buy "Emma's" Birthday kit, you may go to her store HERE

I have been working on a few more "Freebies" to share with everyone, but I am just not fully happy with what I have so far.....so it may be a few more days before I share it here for anyone to snag! *Smile*

I have been taking care of my 2 yr old grandson while his parents are at work, so I don't have as much time to make things as I did. Also, in a couple of weeks our races will be starting and that will once again take up a lot of my time.

Well....guess I'll get going for now. I'll post again real soon....so feel free to pop in and take a look to see what might be new here.

Have a GREAT day!!!

~~Ever So Pink Quick Page~~

I would like to start off with saying Thank You to everyone that has taken the time to leave comments on 4shared when you download the different files that Emma or I have shared with you. I speak for both of us when I say we really appreciate those comments. Being new to all of this, it really touches our hearts to see those kind words.

I'd also like to make a comment about making comments on 4shared.......I think that a lot of times as we are looking for freebies we look at some of the older posts and figure they are old so no one will even know that a comment was posted, so why bother. Well, I don't think that really holds true. I know that I always look to see when the last download was and if there was a comment made and then of course I read those comments. *smile* I think that others that offer Freebies also may take a look to see just what activity is going on.

Here is a quick page that I have made with the "Ever So Pink" kit that I've been working on. Also, it's the same kit my friend Emma made a QP with. I'll be sharing the kit in the next day or so.
You may download this QP here DOWNLOAD QUICK PAGE HERE

This picture of our granddaughter is what inspired me to make this kit.

For the past year now, I have been planning out different pictures that I want to use for a memory book to give to her one day. This of course was long before I had started to make my own layouts etc. I was working on this memory book on Snapfish. Well, since I started they have changed things on their site and a lot of my pictures are missing. So, I have to start all over again. *sigh* I think this time I'll be using my own layouts and just use them to print the book for me.

I'd LOVE to hear any suggestions you may have on my layouts. Maybe some idea's on what I could do to make each page a bit different.

My next post will have links to the kit that goes with this QP, so feel free to come back to download that as well.

Have a good one!

Quick Page By Emma!

Once again my friend EMMA has made everyone a QP from a kit that I've been working on. She has given me permission to share with all of you that visit my blog.

When I sent her my kit, it was still in the makings. She sure did a GREAT job with what I gave me. *Smile*

Thank you Emma sooooooo much for always being here for me to test my files out and to ALWAYS come up with a GREAT QP!

Please be sure to visit EMMA'S BLOG blog as well as leave her some kind words for all the wonderful QP's she so willing shares.

You may download Emma's QP using the link below:

LINK TO EMMA'S EVER SO PINK QP

Soon I'll be posting this kit that Emma used for this QP. So.....be sure to check back in a few days if you would like the "Ever So Pink" kit.

Also, please feel free to look around for other QP's and elements on my blog. Everything I post here is for anyone to snag. I don't have any TOU's except to "enjoy what you snag and to not sell any of these items."
I do all these different things because I'm making them for myself and figure that I'll share in case there are others out there that can use these things as well. It was only a couple of months ago that I started doing Digi Scrap booking, and I had zero clue what I was doing! *Smile* It took me a while to find the different "Freebies" that other kind people so willing shared. Now it's my turn to give back.....even if just a little.

If you have made it this far in reading what I've had to say.....I have a favor to ask of you. At the top of my Blog, on the right side you will see that I've entered a photo in a Photo Contest. I need at least 20 votes per day to maybe win a prize. Key word is "maybe." *Smile*
Would you please take the time out to vote for my photo? You can vote only one time per 24 hour period.
It's kinda strange how they count the 24 hour period for voting, but with everyone in different parts of the world....just maybe I'll get enough votes to win. The link is at the bottom of the ditty about this contest. I've never ever in my life done anything like entering a contest, and of course I've never won anything!
When I signed up for this contest I thought it would just be fun to see how long my photo would stay in this contest! *Smile* So far, it's been there for a few months. Believe me....I feel good about that! *Smile*

Well....guess that's about all I have to say for tonight. Will post a few other things I have been working on in a few days.

Have a GREAT day!!!

Hugs 'n Stuff!

Silver - QP

This is a picture of a cat I rescued a few years back. He was very sick and I had to keep him caged for a few months. I didn't think he would ever come back after I set him free....but he seems to remember what I did for him, and shows up every so often to say "Hello."

While I was doing this layout of Bootsie, I went ahead and made it a QP for anyone that might like to use it. You may download it here: DOWNLOAD HERE

I have a few more things to share and may get them uploaded later tonight, so please feel free to check back when you can.

Have a good day or night! *Smile*

My First Kit To Share

Well......now that everyone has seen Emma's wonderful QP using this kit, I thought I would share the kit for everyone to make their own layouts or QP's.

This is my very first time sharing a kit with the whole world! *Smile* I ususally just share with Emma cuz she always comes up with some GREAT QP's for me. So....please be kind to me and understand that there may be some mistakes in this kit.

There is the QP made by Emma in the zip file as well.

You may download the zip file at: LINK

Also, if you would like my QP that I did using this kit you may download it at: LINK

Please leave us a comment when you download these files....both Emma and I would really appreciate some thank you's and comments.

Stripes Are So Cool!

Well, here I am again to share a WONDERFUL QP that my friend Emma did with my Blue Stripe Kit. Don't you think it turned out GREAT??? I just LOVE it.

Go check out Emma's Blog! LINK

Emma and I have decided that we are going to work together on a Mini Kit! Yep, I guess I'll move on from just doing quick pages to trying to do kits! *Smile* I'm not so sure I'm ready to be doing such a thing, but Emma seems to think I am! So......OK all I can do is try and if I make a mistake....well OH WELL!!! All one can do is just try I guess!!! *Smile*

As always, you can click on the heading of this post to download this WONDERFUL QP ....

Well....guess that's all I have to say for right now.

TaTa!!!

New QP

I haven't been to good at posting here like I said I was going to do.

It seems that "real life" just gets in the way at times!

Last week my friend Emma and I were chatting and I asked her if

she would take some of my things I had made and

make a QP for me.

The picture above is of the QP she did.

I provided her with everything you see in this pix.

These are the same things I used in my layout I did of our grandson.

I love seeing how everyone does different LO's using

all the same backgrounds/papers, elements etc.

Thank you so much Emma for taking the time to do this for me.

I would love to share this kit with anyone that would like it,

but because I'm soooooo NEW to all of this

I just don't feel real comfortable in doing so.

Maybe one day I'll feel that I'm good enough to go public and

give back to those out there that has given

freebies.

If you would like this QP however, you are welcome to snag it.

The link is in the title of this post.

Also you may click on it below:

On another note......I have been messing around with making some

different elements and papers.

As soon as I get them zipped up and make a preview

I'll share them here.

Well, that's about all I have to yack about for right now.

TaTa!

Baby Blu - Quick Page

Here is the layout I wrote about a few days ago that I've been working on.

The picture is of our grandson.

He was 14 months in this picture.

Boy oh boy has he changed! *smile*

He's now 22 months.

His mom and I had fun this one day messing around with that rose

that he has in his hand. *smile*

I have also made this into a QP if anyone would like to snag it.

Have you ever done something while making a layout and

then can't remember how you did it?

Well....that seems to be the case for me all the time!!!

Everything I make (or so it seems!)....

it could be a frame, or say like those

stars in this layout, ribbons etc..... I can't seem to remember how I got

the effects. *sigh*

If I were to sit here and write down every move I made, I'd have a

TON of paper all over my desk! *Smile*

AND...believe me.....I don't need any more paper on my desk!

So, I have decided that I'll just be happy with what

ever it is I come up with, save it

and not worry about trying to ever do it again! LOL

Seems like the easiest way for me! *Smile*

I bought PSP X2 a while back. It doesn't seem to like

my computer to well.

It runs really slow. *sigh*

I tend to go back to using PSP 8 or 9 only because

they both run so much faster for me.

It seems like each version of PSP has something new/good

that makes me want to have them

ALL installed so I don't miss out on anything! LOL

Well.....that's about all I have to share for right now.

I have made some ribbons, buttons, and frames that I want to

put on here....but that's going to have to wait for now.

TaTa for now..........!!!

Blue Stripes QP

Here's another quick page I have been working on. Its free for the taking if you'd like. Click on the "Title" to go to 4shared to grab it.

I have a few new plug-ins that I got for my PSP and have been messing around with them. This QP is the result of that messing around! *Smile*

Quick Page # 1

I was fooling around the other night in one of my versions of PSP. I think maybe I was in PSPX2 cuz I just got it. I really wanted to just see how it would work on this computer. This is the layout I came up with.

The little girl in this picture is our granddaughter. She was in a dance show and had to have make up on. So, I took her to the salon and had it done professionally. The bottom picture on the left is her dad (our son) and her 1/2 baby brother.

In all of my filters that I have collected over the years, I found one that would make the film strips that I used in this layout.

As always, click on the title to download the QP if you want it.

I have another one that I made a few days ago and will be up-loading that one next.

Tonight when I went outside, I had a "cute" little surprise! *Smile* Under the small deck I saw 4 little eyes looking at me. As I looked a bit closer......I saw two little raccoons! They were just darling. I think they were waiting for the cats to get done eating so they could get what was left. Of course, I wished that I had my camera with me so I could have taken pictures. Now I know why the dog is always running out of the house when I open the door and heads right for that small deck! *Smile* By the time he gets there I'm sure those little Raccoons are long gone! I'm sure they will be back and I'll try to get some photos of them.

My little skunks are back again too. They are BOLD! They just come up here on the deck and eat up all that cat food. LOL They don't even care that I'm standing out there looking at them. I'll have to remember next time to take my camera with me so I can get more pictures of them. I think these two skunks are the same two that came to eat last summer. I've had to put up with them almost every night since.....that's why I think it's the same ones.

Going to go upload the next layout and QP.

Another New QP

I made this QP a few days ago. I thought it would be interesting to add some "Sparkle" to a page for a change.

It snowed here in Sunny California that's now so "sunny" right now! *Smile* It was beautiful of course, but was gone by the morning. I'm sure we will have more real soon. Just hope it comes during the day instead of the night. Of course, it's fun to wake up in the morning to find it all "white" outside too. *Smile*

The New Year is just about here. I'll be sooooo glad to say good-bye to 2007 and hope that 2008 will be much better.

Our race season will start in April and then I'll be busy running races and such. I sorta hope our winter lasts a bit longer this coming year so we can't race till the weather is better. Of course, I wish for this every year! *Smile* Starting so soon in the year always makes the race season just way to long. And then of course we have different problems along the way that has to do with some of the racers etc. and that makes the season seem even longer as well. With some of the changes that are going to take place this coming year/season, I hope 2008 will turn out to be one of our better race seasons.

Well....that's about all I have to say for tonight so guess I'll get this posted and go play a bit in PSP and see what I can come up with next.

Been At It Again!

So.....today I decided that I was going to figure out how to make a few things on my own! I had the whole house to myself and was in the mood to play....so that's just what I did! *Smile*

I made everything on this LO except for the background paper. I know....it's nothing to write home to mom about, but I had fun and that's what this is all about...isn't it? *grin"

I have searched high and low on the net to find tutorials that will tell me how to make everything that I'd like to use in a LO.....haven't really had much luck at all. When I ask people where to look, they always tell me to go to the different scrap booking stores and usually those tuts are for Photoshop instead of PSP. So, I got to thinking....this has to be a lot like making tags or stationery. I've been doing both for years now so figured I'd use some of the knowledge I have from my tag and stat making days and just apply it to scrap booking. After all, it all is about the same concept as far as I can see. Needless to say, this is what I came up with. Not thrilled with it, but I proved to myself that I CAN do it!!! To be able to prove this to myself is the most important thing.

Next I'm going to work on something not about Christmas. I have tons and tons of pictures of our granddaughter and grandson....I want to use their pictures next to make some layouts. After I get them done, I'd like to have some scrapbooks printed up to give to their parents. Of course, I have this feeling this is going to take me a long time to get done seeing how I'm making everything myself.

OK....so this was my day of playing! Tomorrow I'm going to start something else.
