Distressed Frames: Set 1 Family

Ok so maybe you think it's weird but I like to use the same stuff in my scrapbook over and over again. I think that it gives it a nice flow- because of this I love elements that are easy to recolor and change to fit the particular layout. For the Forever Family mega kit you will see several sets of elements that are made to be easily (well relatively easily) recolored- Just look for the post label Ready to RECOLOR.

I've included a text document with basic recoloring tips in the zip file. If you want even better instructions check out Hummies World (Course 1 Lesson 6G). Changing to Black or White is really simple for white simply slide your brightness and contrast all the way too the left- to turn it black slide your brightness and contrast levels all the way to the right. (The frames in this set are a medium brown to start off with). Also included in this file is the basic frame shape as a .png file to help you crop your pictures to fit inside the frame.

I plan on doing several more frame sets just like this (Holidays, Descriptive Words, Events, Etc.) So please leave me words that you would like to have frames for (no proper names right now please)

you can purchase all 3 sets of "Family" Distressed frames HERE-

I haven't forgot you!!!!

Alright ladies this is taking much more time than I expected but I promise that I haven't forgot you all. In the mean time here is a tag I received from Shelsscraps. She does custom backgrounds, headers, layouts etc- Very cute!! You should go check her stuff out.

Name 7 Random things about yourself:

1. My associates degree was in International Studies with an emphasis in the Middle East (I totally use that one everyday as a SAHM out here in rural America)

2. We just celebrated our 8 year anniversary!! XOXOXOXO

3. A few tears ago coming home from a camping trip we saw Dick Cheney Fly Fishing the river- in my excitement to take a picture as 'proof' I dropped and ruined the camera.

4. I am a garage sale addict - We go almost every weekend were home and in the winter I feel like I'm going through withdrawals.

5. My # 1 Favorite candy is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

6. I am 15 years older than my youngest brother who is 15 years older than my little guy.

7. I Loooove reading and have probably easily read over a thousand books in my life.

NOW I TAG YOU!

Freebie Links should be back up and running!

I have been doing some adjusting with where I am hosting my files- All my previous freebies should be back up and available- Please contact me if you have problems with any of the downloads. Thanks so much!

Bloggy Giveaway Time

I confess! I have not been spending much time this week on digital scrapbooking- I have once again been distracted by the Bloggy Giveaway- It is pretty much ended now-- I know I should have told you all sooner but there were so many fun giveaways that I didn't want any more competition for the prizes!

If you missed out on all the fun you can still get in the action over at Mommy Confessions, where they are doing a giveaway everyday through the tenth. Hopefully things will be back to normal next week and I'll have some freebies for you and some fun prizes I won to tell you all about.

Pioneer Day

Yes I know... Pioneer Day was yesterday- I had this mostly ready but my husband had just gotten home from a work trip so I spent some time with him and my little guy instead.


I am excited to get started on our Forever Family mega kit. I really had planned on the first kit being "Families are Forever" but I had so many suggestions for Pioneer day that I decided to start with it. The patterns are fairly simple- mostly like what I envision the dress fabric of pioneer's to have been like.

I wanted to add more word art to the kit but I was having a brain freeze at the time and all I could come up with was Westward Ho!- which somehow seamed more funny than appropriate- If you all would like to leave me your Word Art ideas for Pioneers I will try and do an add-on to this.

My Forever Family- A new year long mega kit!

Announcing (deep breath)........ My Forever Family, my new year long mega kit- A while back I was trying to decide how to put together a yearbook for our family- I was really torn between customizing the pages for the pictures/occasion and trying to get the whole book to somewhat coordinate. A lot of you had so many great ideas- one that I absolutely loved was a kit that coordinated but had a wide variety of colors/shades to fit each holiday and season. I plan on covering the basic holidays and seasons as well as continuing with the LDS themed kits but I want to know what you think-

Do you want the LDS themed kits to coordinate

with this mega kit or stay separate?

What specific themes do you want to see in this kit?

It will probably be another week or two before you see the first part- while I finish pulling things together for this- In the meantime I look forward to your input and will leave you with the color palette I have selected for this kit- hopefully it will inspire you to come up with some fun suggestions!

Bee Good, Part 3 of 3

What a great weekend! We visited with family, went to the parade and fireworks and had a big party for great grandma's 90th birthday! I hope you all had a lovely fourth.

Bee Good, Part 2 of 3

It is so hot! I got so used to spring dragging on around here that the last few days of summer are really getting to me. June seemed to go by so fast I can't believe that the Fourth of July is this week! Things will be busy around here so I'm not sure if I will have Part Three until after the holidays or not but I'll get it to you all as soon as possible. I hope you all have a safe and happy fourth- GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Bee Good, Part 1 of 3

Hello Ladies- Yes, I know its been awhile since our last freebie- I had so much fun with the ladybug kit that I couldn't help but do another "bug kit". This kit is also inspired by the six be's of President Gordon B. Hinckley- To me, the phrase be good encompasses all six so that's just what I decided to call this kit- "Bee Good"

It has also come to my attention that people have been sharing my kits on different yahoo groups- While I am happy to have you share- please, PLEASE, PLEASE, give people the link to my site not directly to 4shared. Come on people these are Freebies!

Thank you all for your thoughts on coordinating papers in an album- it has given me a lot to think about for our family album.... And a couple of fun ideas for future freebies.

Add on to Digitreats SKIP ABC

Alright ladies I need your opinion- I am working on a "year in the life of" scrapbook for our family. I am trying to decide if it would look better if all the papers and elements were coordinated or if I should use a lot of different colors/styles. If I go with coordinating I'll probably end up making a lot of it from scratch, where if I do different things I can use odd's and end's that I've picked up from other designers---- What do you think would look better? Decisions Decisions Decisions...... Now what you all came here for....

I Like to Look for Rainbows, Part 4 of 4

I am so glad that spring is finally here! I have my whole garden and a bunch of flowers to plant so my next few kits might be a little slow but I promise they will come.... Every year we go camping to the same place for memorial day-

I am so excited for this trip but I dare say it will be an interesting one, a friend of ours went snowmobiling a few weeks ago... on our campsite hopefully the snow has melted by this weekend. My little guy is crawling everywhere and I am a little worried that he will be bear cooped up in the camper if the weathers bad.

Now for our final part of I Like to Look for Rainbows.
