Chicken Soup and a Freebie

I have become such a bad blogger lol... So many things to do, that I forget to blog...

So since my last post some of the exciting things that happened have been... I got promoted to Creative Team Leader for SnickerdoodleDesigns by Karen.. I also have my second blog which I blogged about before..
Well the plan with that is to do advertising, so I have been busy working on the forum for that site adding threads, which you would think wouldnt take long, but I learned it does lol...
Then of course there is facebook and Twitter, I have been lost in some amazing galleries by photographers, some totally awesome stuff, and its really hard to not keep on looking...lol

I got asked to ct for CopperCurls Designs, I love her products...
And then right out of the blue, I got asked if I would become part of the Creative Team for a new online magazine called Paper and Pixels..
I was so happy that I got a couple of my layouts published woot woot... I can see its going to be an amazing magazine, the first edition had so much in it, tons of info not just for the digital scrapper but also those who like to paper scrap and do Hybrid.. You should check out the gallery, the paper crafted cards blew me away..
And they showed us all how to create them in the magazine..
So if you are interested you can sign up or so you dont miss the debut edition click on the magazine picture on the page and you can download it and have a read and decided for yourself.. But I am sure you wont be dissappointed...

And next month they are doing an interview with me, woot woot :)
Ok enough tooting my own horn,

I also have been trying to catch up on the challenges over at The Den..
We got a new one this month,  Tag IT Challenge.. I had to give this one some thought but was really happy with what I came up with in the end..

I used Background paper and leaf from Eclectic+freebie add on by Sandy
Maritime by Sandy

And Karen once again bought out yet another kit I love called Chicken Soup.. 

I am showing the bundle as they are always great value but you can buy it all seperately.. 

Here are a couple of layouts I did playing around with the kit..

I think you will find several freebies from this kit...

And would you believe I finally made something to share with you again.

So here is a cluster frame I was playing around with,

Its been awhile and of course a freebie

Gee its been ages since I posted hasnt it?  Well lots have been happening.. I am venturing out into another avenue of the digi  world.. And then 2 yes 2 computers died in as many months..
That really puts a cramp in your creative style I have to tell you.. I was lost...
I have another site of my own, with a forum and of course another blog as well.. So This is going to become my personal blog..
I will of course still be posting freebies here as I have them, I kinda lost my mojo along with the computer crashes.. But its slowly  trickling back again lol..
So if you want to keep up with news and freebies ect bookmark these places...
Digieye Scraps  and The Hub
I will explain alittle more about them in another post..
Today I wanted to share a lovely QP I made from a layout I created using SnickerdoodleDesigns by Karens, various products..
I really love her products, I find them incredibly easy to mix and match them, so owning just a few of her kits give me so much scope..

Mind you when it comes to crediting well yeah, you know how that goes lol... But its fun to mix and match them..
I also hang at Digital Design Den now, I have been waiting and waiting for them to add back their gallery and forum and its back :)
So if you Check the my other blog, you will be able to get a nice little mini my daughter and I created for the color challenge there..
 So here is the layout  I created using all the products I have listed of SnickerdoodleDesigns by Karen.. 

Background papers from Discovering America by SnickerdoodleDesigns By Karen
wordart, netting,greenery,button from Smooth Sailing Add On by SnickerdoodleDesigns By Karen
Fern from Smooth Sailing by SnickerdoodleDesigns By Karen
Word art and Frame I used Concrete Styles by SnickerdoodleDesigns by Karen

I linked Karens name to her store so if you like and want to go check her out you can just click that and find these..
So I used bits from these 4 products of hers to create this page..

And here is a couple more layouts that I really love I created from her kits..

My grandson furbaby, I really love how this one turned out :)

I used Smooth sailing and the add on...  and The styles..

Hiya ladies..
Well I have another freebie for you again today, I actually should have had it up last week, but ohh I get so busy and behind lately..lol
I also wanted to show you some awesome kits I got to play with as well.. 
So whose will I start with I wonder.. Well I will start with Karens otherwise known as Snickerdoodle Designs by Karen..
 I have been a big big fan of her word art for sometime but now she is expanding her talents and I got to tell you, she is very talented.. Just in her store you can get some beautiful kits, Word arts, fonts yes she makes fonts as well, styles.. I am constantly in awe of her ability to do so many things, I think she is one designer who is going to go along long way because of her diversity..
So anyway I got to play with her newest kit, and its so so pretty I love it.. I say that about all her kits I know but each time she brings out something new its just so lovely.. I actually go back often to Karens kits to use.. 
So anyway enough of my dribble.. 

Now if you click the preview and hop over to the store quick you can pick this wonderful bundle up for 
just $4.95 yeap bargain its worth way more than that.. So grab it quick..

 Here are a couple of layouts I created using this kit and Karens wonderful wordart.. 
I did say the papers and elements in this kit are just divine.. 
I also used Karens Skater Font for this.. Its available  Here if your interested..
Second layout I did was for our Speed scrap.. 

Poor little Jazz she thought offering a pelican some of her hot dog was a good idea, Pelcian thought she looked tastier .. She didnt move speak or talk for about an hour, just sat on Nana's lap and cuddled in..
Because I am getting to do the Get with it challenge at DSDI again next month I was messing around making a desktop template, so once I had created it I thought I would give it a test drive and make sure it was going to look ok completed and well me being me got carried away lol.. 
I used Waiting For Spring Styles And also Word Art by Snickerdoodle Designs By Karen along with A New Beginning by Cathy Cher Designs ( yeap another kit I love lol)

And created this.. My desktop for next month..

I Created the frames from Waiting for Spring Styles and the word art is from Waiting for spring as well..
Turned out pretty well I think.... 
Now what I should have had up earlier on..
