SO let's look at then and the new kits I used before we get to today's list of goodies. First is for TaniaJPS. I used her new Sprin! Sprang! Sprung! kit. This is a shot of Emma last Aug playing on the floor with her Grandma Kay. Credits: Kit- Spring! Sprang! Sprung! by TaniaJPS Barcode Rubons by Shandy Vogt Grunge Edge Alpha by Seebee's Freebies Clothes tag by Amy W. (aka-me) Fonts- Bella Donna, Blackjack, Arial and Valentina JF And here's the kit preview. I love the bright and fun colors in it. I'm sure we'll see it used several times more with my enegretic toddler. You can find it at Oscraps and NDISB. The next LO is from Denise Liemert's Sweet Child kit. It's got beautiful soft colors and filled with spinf flowers. I scrapped an older shot of Emma from 2005. It's her in her carseat ready to head out the door on a picnic.

Okay and last is my favorite, mainly for the photo I used. It's done with Manu's Simplicity kit. This photo was also taken Saturday morning while we wiggled on the floor. And Emma's big baby blues were just so clear and bright I decided to make them pop at you. Credits: kit- Simplicity by Manu-Scraps fonts- Blackjack, AT Mahogany Script and Bookman Here's the kit, but not everything is shown.

Freebie lists

Okay, I never got to make a list this weekend because I was playing with my family. We had so much fun. I made a few LO's too and I'll post those tomorrow. But since I never got to my list I figured I'd share two other bloga that make my list look small. These two ladies are extensive in their search for the freebies. Here you go: Heather's blog and freebie list. (Looks like she only does it weekly but it's quite the list.) Digi Debz's freebie list. ( She updates at least twice a week sometimes daily it depends.) Hope that small fix will do you over until I get to my list tomorrow. And don't forget to leave some love. Happy Scrapping Everyone!

No list today.

Sorry everyone, my hubby is actually off on a weekend and is a gorgeous spring day here so we went to Raleigh this morning. Emma's nap was in the car and we're going to the park as soon as I get off the computer. So no list today. (Don't kill me!) I'll try to get on tomorrow or maybe after she goes to bed tonight and put a list up. If nothing else the fabulous IkeaGoddess has her list up and a good part of them weren't on my list yesterday. So go check out her freebie list! Have a fun weekend everyone!!

Another Friday, another Jumpstart...

Hi there everyone and welocme to Friday! That means it's freebie day here on my blog! This week it's a new Jumpstart layered template. But first if you read my comments from yesterday you'll know I've been asked to join TaniaJPS's creative team. I'm totally honored She does awesome work and I'm so glad I'll be getting to spread the beauty that are her designs. I've also been asked to be a guest CT for the month of March for the duel CT of Deniese Liemert and Doris Lehmann (aka Badcandy). They are both great designers and I'm totally jazzed to get to work with them next month. You can check out thir blog the DL creative studio for the occasional freebie. Funnily enough, last night I had a dream that Tania was sponsoring a NASCAR Cup car in the Sharpie 500 and they one first place. So her logo was shown far and wide since it was on the hood of the winning car. The driver you ask? Kasey Khane of course. Tell me that wasn't a hoot of a dream. Yesterday was a beauty of a day. There was a stiff breeze but not too bad so Emma and I went for a walk. Well, I walked- Emma allowed me to pull her around in her big red wagon. It had to go outside since she was using it to climb up to places she shouldn't. She's such a stinker. Okay, here's the Jumpstart you all want. It makes me think of the water but feel free to put your own spin on it. Sorry, this is no longer available. Now onto the freebie tips of the day! Valinda has a pretty blue butterfly QP up for grabs. Jburkhart has a template on her blog. (scroll past the evil Idols) Thomsen has a great template up for grabs. Carrie has some cute watercolor doodles of space.

My Funny Valentine

Hello to Thursday. I made some new templates yesterday, so there'll be a new one here tomorrow for your freebie! Yeah, I was worried I'd lost my template mojo since it's been almost a month since I'd made any. It seems I just needed some inspiration. And as usual it came to me while I was laying in bed trying to get a grumpy little girl to fall asleep. Here's a LO I made yesterday. It's from photos I took of Emma on Valentine's Day. Funny story about her Valentine's day. Hubby and I got her a cute stuffed doggie that she dragged around all day. It's cute and fluffy and soft so I had gotten it for her. Well 2 days later her box came from her grandma Kay and it had the same doggie in it only the reverse color scheme. :D So now she has 2 soft & cuddly doggies that she makes barks and cuddle up on the couch with. Anywho, in the LO she was trying to get to some DVDs that aren't hers, so she's standing on a bowl she got from the kitchen to reach them- the little stinker. Like it says in the journalling, it's a good thing she's so cute.Credits: kit- Amor Amor by Luiza Garay alpha- Heart Alphas by Kanga (Sarah Senior) fonts- Mulkshake by pizzadude.dk and Kidprint My good buddy Barb (aka Mrs. Miles) has made a really cute LO with her newset freebie and used one of a set of papers I made for her.

Sick-o's in the house

So sorry, but hubby and Emma are both sick. If I can get Emma down for a nap I'll come back and do the list but right now she only wants mommy. If you need a fix right now the IkeaGoddess has a list up that only a few of which were on my own list yesterday so there's plenty to keep you busy. If I can't get her down I'll catch you tomorrow... I hope. -Amy

I hope everyone had a great weekend! This morning Emma and I have been watching the bulldosers and backhoes work the field behind our house, which will soon become houses.

Can I start off today with a rave?

It's for Atomic Cupcake. Some of you may be familiar with them already, especially if you're a designer. They make great actions for Photoshop (like a scripts for PSP) and are the cause behind many real looking elements and cool effects in scrap kits. But they also have a great library of kits and elements. It's $12.95 a month for either club or $17.95 for both. But if you truly go and get everything you want in that month it's well worth the money. I grabbed all the back log of kits I wanted, if you ignore the actions I got too, it was still less than a dollar a kit for all that I downloaded. Plus there's new stuff almost everyday and a new action just about every week. I'm sure most of you already know about AC but I just figured I'd spout off.
