3*13 Happy Friday!!

Yeah it's Friday!! I'm having a good day. Valeri is going to be out next week, so I've put out a request to my good friend , Jules, to help us out next or for longer depending on her. ;)

But I thought I'd post a couple of pages today. Not sure what is going on in the digi world -- I know Lori was so good about finding good sales, or challenges going on. So if you know of any, please post a link in the comments section. I love a good sale!!

The first picture is from Karen and is titled Siblings in the Garden
I love all of it -- it was so hard to find just one thing, but I really loved how her picture was kept as the main focus and your eye is just drawn naturally to it.


This next one just caught my eye. It's by Phungirl and is titled twice the blessing.

I love how soft it is and that quote is one of my favorites.

Well that's it for me today. Hope you have a great weekend. Remember to stop by and link up your layouts for a chance to win a script from Creation Cassel.

3*11 Whoopie it's Wednesday!!

Yeah, it's the middle of the week!! I am here to feature a couple of pages that could use a little extra attention. I found them yesterday and immediately put them in my favorites.

The first one is by barb_scraps and titled fun

I love how simple the page is with all that vibrant color.

This next one is by Valeri Fowler titled So Cute

Your have to read her disclaimer, it totally had me cracking up!!

Well that's it for me, about to head to church -- have a great night!!

Late night Tuesday 3/10/09

Another late post for me. Life's been a bit crazy this month. Today, we spent the day at the zoo cause its our last pretty day of the week. Seems winter is coming back for a visit again. So we totally took advantage of the day.

Since I spent the day enjoying the sun, I thought I would feature layouts where the subjects are also enjoying the sun.

First up is..

Go fly a Kite
by cityangel23

Isn't this just absolutely Gorgeous? I look at this and think of a magazine layout or a travel brochure. I totally love her title work, specially the highlights around the kite. Perfect!

Next up is..

This moment Captured
by Novita

I love the amount of photos she used on this layout... and most specially the one of the furbabies and kiddos running together. Just adorable!! Love her choice in elements and papers for this page. And the title work is beyond wonderful! And I love that the day looks absolutely sunny and bright enough to enjoy a day running on the beach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thats it for me tonight! I've got to go buckle down the house and make sure we don't blow away in this wind. Hope the weather is better in your part of the world!

Till next time!
Live, Laugh, Love.... And Scrap often!!

3*9 Monday Mix Up

Hello readers. I got my copy yesterday of the Artisan Notebook, it was really cool to see our blog mentioned in there. If you are reading our blog because of that magazine, welcome. Today's post is called Monday Mix Up because I goofed. Our latest sponsor is Cassel and after a mixed up conversation, I am here to announce that the ribbon pack I posted about yesterday is actually a freebie for you!!


Just click the image to download the ribbon.

Also, the winner this time will receive either a free script from Cassel's store or if you don't have PSP she has a service where you pick the script and she will run it and then send you the completed script. So be sure to stop by her store and check out all her scripts.

Well onto today's featured layouts. Speaking of Cassel's scripts. I wanted to find a page with them in action.

Look at all that yummy ribbon!! What a fun page.

This next page is by Aly called You captured my heart.

I love the three images and the fun embellies to create her title.

Stop by and leave these ladies some love. Have a great day.

3*8 Spotlight Sunday (Creation Cassel)

Hello Praisers!! I hope your weekend is going well. We have a new spotlight today. Her name is Carole, but she goes by Cassel. Here is a little bit about her:

Hi, My name is Carole, aka as Cassel in the digiworld. I am 47, married and mom of three teens. I am a full time speech language pathologist and love working at the computer. I started digiscrapping in 2005 with my PaintShop Pro and I am addicted now. I can easily spend 5-6 hours straight at the computer!

In December 2007, I opened my first store, and in February 2009, I opened my own personal store, at http://creationcassel.com/store. Most of my work is about doing scripts for PSP users. I was always a bit envious of Photoshop users who have tons of actions available to them so I decided to find something to help PSP users.

I hope all PSP users will come and have a look at my store, and especially my scripts, which would make your life easier! All my scripts are commercial use friendly so designers are also welcome to browse through them!

Cassel is offering a free PSP script to those readers who are PSP users. She has also offered this ribbon pack for those who aren't PSP users. So spread the word. All you have to do is link us up to a layout that needs some love and it doesn't need to be your own layout.

Here is the ribbon pack being offered:
