Jeweltone Alpha

I have a question for all of you out there in Scrapland. This is showing my ignorance but I really want to know the answer. What does "scrap for hire" mean? I see that on so many kits out there but do not know what it means. Can someone enlighten me?

Here's the final part to Jeweltone. I'm using another one of Deb's containers (The Scrappin' Cop) for the preview. I really like texture so this alpha is no exception. Again, you can't really see all the texture in this preview. You'll just have to download it.

One of the things I really think is neat with this blog stuff is if someone leaves you a comment (and their blog address) you can go step inside "their house" and "visit" with them (providing that it is an open house and not private). I have been to quite a few "houses" getting to know you. Some of you (and you know who you are) I really feel like I know you . . . even though I've never met you personally. Kinda cool, huh? Does anyone else feel this way?

Here are the elements to the Jeweltone kit. I hope you can find a use for them in your scrapbooking adventures. Thanks for leaving me a comment. I do read each and every one of them.

P.S. It's Elvis' birthday today. I know you really wanted to know that bit of trivia today!

Jeweltone Papers 2

Hello everyone. My youngest daughter has a gymnastic meet coming up this weekend but on Monday she hurt her knee at practice so I'm not sure if she is going to compete or not. We'll see. Here is the second set of papers for you. Talk to you later.

Oh, as I was posting this I just noticed that the Papers are labeled set 1 but it is the 2nd set. Sorry about that.

The holidays are over and I'm trying to get back into my routine. It's hard to sometimes get back into the groove. Do you know what I mean? Here is the first set of papers. The preview doesn't really show what the papers look like. They kind of have a grunge feel to them. As always, let me know what you think. Oh, I almost forgot to mention this. I split this download into 2 parts as the file was pretty big. Download BOTH parts at the bottom of the preview.

Well I have to say that I have had more comments on my Old Barn kit than any other. Hmmmm, I wonder why! Since the game went SO well I thought we would try it again. I'm not going to set a minimum number of comments this time. We'll just see how many respond. If you have no idea what I am talking about this is how it works. Here's a sneak preview of my new kit "Jeweltone". In order for me to release the papers tomorrow I need you to comment on this post. If you have never left a comment, this is the time to do it! Ready, get set, go!

Old Barn Alpha

Does anyone make New Year's Resolutions? I try to read the Bible through every year. I've done it every year for 6 years except for last year. Homeschooling a high schooler kept me pretty busy this past year so I was only able to read the New Testament and about half of the Old Testament.
Many commit to losing weight. That's probably the number one resolution. I have never made that as a New Year's Resolution but recently I was reading Michele's blog and she mentioned that she lost a lot of weight using a web site called SparkPeople. I had never heard of it before so decided to check it out. It really is a neat site. It's FREE and has a nutrition tracker and fitness tracker on it. You can also sign up for support groups that will help you and encourage you. I signed up!

Thanks to all who come and visit my little spot on the world-wide web. Who's ready for the Old Barn Alpha?

Happy New Year! As I reflect back on 2008 I think about all of my new blog friends that I have met. Less than 3 months ago I had never blogged before and had never designed kits before. What a joy it is for me to design these kits and give them away... knowing that, perhaps, I have given a small pleasure to someone, some element that they needed to create the perfect memory page, or some paper that would work with a certain photo. Thank you all for visiting my blog. I hope you will visit me frequently in 2009 as well!


Now, I do need to tell you that sometimes I just rack my brain trying to create "new" elements for a kit. Warning! Some elements in this kit may appear to be stranger that they actually are. LOL!
