They are both kits I chose when the lovely designers Raked me... I am so behind, I have 2 more Rak kits to play with and My 4 Princesses Designs allowed me to have her kit Diva-liscious to do a layout as well, by the way she is still looking for a couple more ladies to do CT work so pop here and look....
Plus the ladies have been releasing some really Got to have kits lol, and I have got them lol....
Dont think I will accomplish much today as my Daughter and grandkiddies are on their way to visit...
Nikki has decided that she would like to try her hand at designing and she sent me a sneak peek at what she made, hmmmmm that girl is talented... It looks really good, so she is coming over so I can show her the bits and pieces she doesnt know....
I wont make this long today, lol I stayed up to late looking around for some new CU things, and found some new toys which I want to play with lol....

More about that shortly...
So before I rudely disappeared I was about to release my new kit.. Well it never got released , and I have decided I am not going to try designing again, so you are going to get it.. Please keep in mind that it was zipped for my store at DAC, which as we know is nolonger around ..

Holiday with Nana And Grandad & A freebie

Well the title is a clue.. Yeap I just spent the last week with my beautiful little granddaughter..
We have had soooooo much fun, I honestly thought that I would have time to jump on at least an hour or two.. It has been a fun filled week, with loads of hugs and cuddles and kisses...
Mum and Dad missed her really badly lol, so organized to visit....
She got to meet some relatives she has never met as well....
She showed granddad how to delete things and move things to all weird and new places on his puter...
Changed nana's settings several times as well lol...
She absolutely loved the wildlife around here, but then I knew she would, she has such a gentle loving nature...
Dzion and her had a ball, well he allowed her to do whatever she wanted lol...
So I am still behind in everything because I just didnt find the time...
You forget how much work is involved when you dont have little ones around...
So I am sharing the brag book pages from my Pitter Patter kit for these..
I have tons of photos so their is loads more to scrap ...
I also finally got a ct layout done, still have more, and never did manage to get my new kit zipped and up... But I am hoping to achieve that today....
So here is the pages I have done so far...

Holiday with Nana And Grandad
lol she is getting more teeth, talk about drool ...
Showing grandad how to move and delete things on his puter...
Dzion and her were like they had never been apart..
She insisted that he couldnt eat from his bowl and hand feed him one biscuit at a time...
At one stage she even decorated him with his biscuits, he let her do whatever she wanted...

Playing around, trying to get a picture of her without that horrid dummy,
was almost impossible but I did manage to get some...
She is so funny, we ended up giving her an old keyboard and mouse to play with..
She sits in and moves the mouse and clicks a few times, then she looks at the screen,
goes "thats it" and then clicks mouse a couple more times and then one finger types,
goes back to the mouse and moves and clicks..
The last pic is her telling nana off, because she kept standing up and I told her to sit,
so she is telling me to sit ....

Sitting at the top of the slippery slide, she even wiggled herself so she could slide down...
She got to meet some relatives that she hadnt yet met and they came bearing gifts,
this being one of them, but when they put it together they didnt get one
wheel right, so it kept falling off...
So these are her helping grandad to fix it..
And only grandad is allowed to push her on it, nana just doesnt do it right.
Grandad goes fast lol...
Jazz being Jazz, cute and adoreable....
All pages are from my Pitter Patter Brag Book

And The one and only CT layout I managed to get done..

Created from Mels_World Love Is..

And the news, I am going to be offline for about a month...
There is alot of stuff I need to take care of in my personal life..
So I am taking a break from the net while I get things in order, then I will be back...
So I shall leave you with another Quick Page from Lovers Glade..
Fingers Crossed it will be up for sale tonight...

Download and leave some love here..

I wanna go to the beach not work on a kit.....

Wow its been soooooo hot, up to 40 degrees Celsius today.. Now last hot day, my human angel and I decided making a trip to a beach would be the thing to do, and it was lovely... Nice and refreshing, but today I was stuck inside working on this will I ever get it finished kit... lol
My muse has so totally gone on holiday, good news is its just about finished only a couple more things need to be added and then the part I really dread, the making of the previews lol....
So I played around with it to see if things would work so I am sharing the layouts I made with it...
If I hadnt had my mind on the beach and how soft, refreshing and cool the water would be, I would have had the Quick page zipped and up to share.... Sorry lol tomorrow or maybe later on tonight...
I am actually really happy with the way it is coming together...
I also wanted to finish off my last 2 challenges.... Yes only 2 left to finish, but I downloaded the font for the font challenge its showing in my fonts but wont show in my program.. Yet the new ones I downloaded today are all showing up no problem.. Mybe I will uninstall and try all over and see if that will work...
And I still have Mels-World lovely new kit to make something with, I worked out what I am going to do, but I need a frog , lol and there is no frog.... I wonder if I could talk her into creating me a frog....lol
So I watched the news tonight, now most of you know I rarely watch T.V even the news, because they never put anything good on, its all doom and gloom..
Wow what an eventful day it has been, 320 passengers all safe after their plane crashed in the Hudson, that is pretty amazing and I am so happy for all those people and their familes...
Then of course some loser had to go and light fires in Perth, seriously how do you get thrills from doing that, We have this amazingly beautiful park up at Perth called Kings Park, its full with natives and all sorts of beautiful things, and someone decided to light a fire near it, so the firefighters have been fighting it all day and will be all night, then there are some in Yanchenup and another place all pretty serious... Goes with summer, but so much is destroyed and its so hard to contain with the heat and lack of water.... And makes you so mad when they are delberiately lit....
And our australian cricket team what are they doing, geeze lol... yeah we are not doing to well in the cricket, someone is teaching me all about it so I understand the game and stop telling them its boring lmao... I still think its boring lol ... But at least now I understand it...
Anyway I shall share my layouts and stop waffling on....

Family
My two girls and the family princess..
Fmc Designs "Lovers Glade" soon to be released

My Human Angel
My very wonderful other half, my angel,
he has the ability to make me fall in love with him over and over,
lol, not that I have ever fell out of love with him, but he just does some simple
little thing and makes all those feelings come rushing back and its like when we first got together all over again...
Anyone who is in love will know what I mean, lol we are like an old
married couple, we were just so meant for each other..
So that is a glimpse of the kit I am working on, not your normal
valentines kit, but then you wouldnt really expect that from me..lol
I have more news but I will share it with you all when I post your freebie...
keep fingers crossed I will have it up abit later tonight...
Smile, keep warm, keep cool, laugh, hug, love..
Just have a funtabulous one....

A Freebie, CT Call and The Chosen one

Wow how was that for a mouth full.. lol..
Which one should I start with...
I was really amazed at the template challenge response and really happy as well..
Even our designers jumped in and had a go lol, so that was really great...
We got alot of templates shared, so ladies can now make themselves up a complete CD size brag book...
It is also a 2 part challenge, so from the 1st-11th everyone downloads the shapes and then creates a template and uploads to the section in the forum..
I pick one they are our "Chosen One" and then we all download her Template and create a layout with it and upload that to the gallery and then I send everyone the posting bonus kit...
It kept me really busy and I also learnt some things..
One is there are ladies out there who want to play but dont know how to do things with their software ...
The other thing that really made me have warm fuzzies was our lovely "Rose Addict" now I know alot of you will have seen her here and there, she always is so beautiful and lovely and always leaves lovely messages with her thanks when she downloads..
So she just jumped in and put up a screen shot to help the other ladies understand what saving in layers was... Again Rose thank you so much..
So now on my to do list are several tuts to put up in our kitchen so that we can instantly refer people to those to help....
So to make a long story short, The lady I chose to be the "Chosen One" this month is Angela, because she sent me a message explaining that she didnt know how to do it in her program and she wanted to play... So eventually just the day before the templates had to be in, I found something that I hoped would help her, and She put a really beautiful template in for us..
I just felt that she had accomplished so much and she should be our very first template winner...
I struggled with who I was going to chose, there were so many lovely templates, I couldnt off course pick my friends and the designers are not in the running lol....
And the ladies had really made some beauties....
But there is always next month and the month after and if they are all being real with their comments they all had alot of fun and thats what its really all about....
So here is the template that I chose, you can pick it up if you pop into Digtial Arts Cafe...

Submitted by Angela
Visit here to join in and download
Here is what I did with her layout
This is/was my stepfather, he has crossed over now...
But he was an amazing man, dutch, loved his aircraft and are you ready for this lol
Named Pymm Van Gogh, he is distantly related to the "Vincent Van Gogh"
cept he never thought about cutting off his ear lol...
But he was also a painter, and in his time has left his family and friends
with lots of wonderful paintings...
The ones I have both my girls have nominated which they want, in turn
they will pass them on to their children..
He sold quite a few while he was alive, so who knows mybe one day
his will be worth something .. But to me they are priceless...
That is the reason I chose the kit I did to do this layout with..
I just felt it was so him...
and I used:
DigitalArts-Cafe Designer Linda Cumberlands New Beginnings kit

So next ..

Layouts and Freebies-you are spoilt today lol..

You missed me, lol digi free didnt pick up my last freebie and no-one came to visit me...
Not true, the regulars came lol..
So I have been a little busy, what have I done, well I only have two challenges left to complete, yes lol
When I finish this post I will be picking my very first "chosen one" from the template challenge,
then scrapping her template to put up in the gallery...
Trying to decide on a color swatch for my next kit, trying to decide what the theme will be, there are already so many valentines kits out, and over christmas I honestly just stopped looking , there was just nothing but christmas kits everywhere and I kinda got past wanting to see anymore...
I fear valentines is going to be the same, so my question to myself is if I do a valentines kit, will it be something worth looking at... If I go with whats in my mind yes lol...
And I have sold a few of my very first kits, wooooo hooooo that feels pretty wonderful lol....
I also have to make up something because I need some Creative Team members, to join my two very lovely and talented ones Laura and Nydia....
So you might end up with 2 posts today lol....
So first some layouts, I must have done something good several days back, I was checking my stats and I had 9 people come to one page that had nothing but layouts on it, no freebies, they all came from Mountain View CA, I see the isps so they were all different people and they had all searched the same thing in google, I get to see that as well as the links lol...
So now I know you really want to look lol...
Soooo first one is the layout I did with this months VIP kit made by our lovely and very talented Rachael Hudnall...

Journaling reads..
I open my eyes and stumble outside.
Darkness begins to fade as the sun begins to rise.
I breathe deep the fresh cool morning air.
I listen to the creatures big and small.
And Smile.
