First Tooth Goodies

I have some first tooth tags and wordart that I made for my friend Heather when her little one's first tooth broke through. I originally made them blue, since her little bug is a boy :) But I just made some pink ones too.

New Freebie kit - Millie's Garden

Again this is a cottage reference! I can tell Spring is here because I am starting to get anxious for summer and warmer weather - which means 'LAKE TIME' to me. I love being there. Just relaxing on the beach all day, no TV - limited phone, (some computer - via wireless from the main house), but really reading all day, spending time with my family, playing cards, cooking, eating, beaching, drinking - all things that make a 'city girl' like me happy!

So, when I was growing up Millie lived in the main house. She was like a third grandmother to me. She taught me to cook, how to entertain guests, and more importantly how to be a good friend, mentor and role model to other people. She had a zest for life that if I could bottle, would make me a gazillionaire. This freebie is inspired by her garden. She had a wonderful green thumb, and had this incredible garden that bordered the sidewalk for a good thirty feet. It was her mother's garden before that - and my earliest memories of the lake were of having to walk off of the sidewalk to avoid the bees hidden in the flower bed.

So I present to you my latest freebie kit, Millie's Garden: jam packed with bright colors, doodle flowers, frames, some sheer tissue papers and an alpha. I hope you will check it out.

But please leave me some feedback somewhere - you know I am just learning and would love to hear how I am doing. I would also love to post any layouts you create with this kit.

Presenting: Under My Pillow

I asked my friend Heather what kind of kit she would like me to try to design next. I was in need of some direction to go. I started three or four kits but none had a theme yet. She had a great plan, and I ran with it. I was trying not to be too cheezy - but here is my latest freebie!

So, I present to you : Under My Pillow

Enjoy! Please don't forget to leave me some feedback or even send me your layout. I love posting them on my blog!!

I did it!

Ok, you guys know me. I don't do anything half way. There is nothing more annoying to me than not knowing how to do something. So, I have taken on the task of learning how to design my own kits. I have thrown myself at the mercy of some women I trust to steer me in the right direction !

Just for sh**s and giggles - I took a whack at making my own kit. Realize before you go scrolling down to check it out that IT IS MY FIRST KIT EVER! I bought some commercial use items, and went for it. I hope it isn't too amateur, but then again - I am, so I guess I should probably be ok with that. I am giving this away, but only only if you promise to share with me anything you made with it.

I understand that it's a small kit, but I was truly just messing around. I hope to have more in the future to share with you.

Also, since I used commercial use items to make this kit please check out my TOU, so that credit can truly be given to those designers: specifically Kim B, SAAB and Atomic Cupcake.

This is my new mini- COFFEE TALK (and if you are an SNL fan like me - you get it !)

I gave this kit to my partner-in-scrap (LOL - I totally made that up, feel free to steal it) Christie, and she made this layout. I can't even begin to describe to you how it felt to see it used. I was on cloud 9 nine all night - Thanks Christie !

Thanks for checking it out! Enjoy :) You can grab the freebie here !
