Dinosaur Freebie - Dino MANIA!

Oof! All of that flowery, girly stuff had grabbed a hold of me! It's so tempting, so easy, to do the traditional scrapbooking stuff. The tutorials, templates, the everything is out there to suck you in. And boy, did I get sucked in. Not that I'm done getting sucked in, LOL. Not by any means. But I did return to my reason for design. Getting some boy stuff out there!

My youngest son, youngest of five boys, has these adorable Carter's pajamas. Adorable with dinosaurs. And the dinosaurs have these googly eyes I just love. Now I didn't want to rip Carter's off, though scanning them in was sooo tempting. So I made some dinosaur shapes, and some dinosaur looking paper, and some googly eyes. And TADA! Dino Mania was born.

Now I'm far from making this a whole kit, but I fell in love with the dinosaurs and I felt compelled to share this little FREEBIE with you! I'm also including one of the papers and a rafia-tied frame to round it out a little. I hope you enjoy:

Dino Mania

• 5 Dinosaurs - png files
• 1 Rafia-tied frame, this comes with a drop shadow
• 1 paper

Please note that unless specifically listed, none of the files come with drop shadows seen in the preview. And, as always now, please leave me comments, suggestions, helpful hints or thank you's! I'd also love to see any LO's done with my designs.

Big Bubble Dot - an explanation

I made you a mini kit FREEBIE, bordering on full-size. For those of you interested in downloading, and downloading only, click on the pinkish hyperlinks that say: Big Bubble Dot. For the rest of you, interested in why they heck I'd call a kit Big Bubble Dot, without there actually being a Big Bubble Dot anywhere... read on!

You see I used to work at Belk. Actually, "used to" is almost a misnomer. My last day was yesterday. Not that I went to work yesterday, but that is another post. Along the lines of my last post, and I'm not repeating myself. Belk, for anyone not in the south, is a department store much like Macy's or Nordstromm's. Once I got into digital scrapbooking I found myself seeing scrap pages galore every time I went to work. I saw pages in dresses, sweaters, skirts, heck, I even saw pages in pants. I spent more time doodling than helping customers. Hence the "used to".

One of my favorite dresses was in juniors, not that I'm a junior. And since I'm not a junior. And I so loved this dress. I made it a paper. Shocker, I know. This paper has been sitting on my computer for months now. It's sitting there looking so pretty. So exactly like that dress. And yet, I have not anything to truly go with it. Oh, the stuff in this kit, my Big Bubble Dot mini kit, goes with that paper. That dress. But not enough for me to actually include it in the kit. There is however, as I struggle to make a kit to go with the paper, plenty to be shared. Therefore I am sharing today, and explaining the name. As much as this name can be explained.

So this kit is named after my favorite dress. That I don't fit in. That I turned into a paper. That doesn't fit in my kit. Named after the dress. The paper. What is included in this FREEBIE? All the following:

• 4 papers (but no actual Big Bubble Dot paper)
• 2 frames both with slight drop shadows added
  
• 3 buttons
• 3 flowers
• 1 word art

Please note that unless specifically listed, none of the files come with drop shadows seen in the preview. And, as always now, please leave me comments, suggestions, helpful hints or thank you's! I'd also love to see any LO's done with my designs.

Freebie: Barely There PINK

Wow! I can't believe it's been two weeks. And a special two weeks at that. There's not much to tell, or rather, not much you'd like me to tell. Suffice it to say we are now done with the stomach flu.

In honor of Mother's Day I did another soft palette Quick Page with Extra's. Because you like those, because I like those. I've also tucked in a bonus on this one, again, in honor of Mother's day. In addition to the Quick Page, and all the elements I used, there are two additional bonus papers. One pink and one tangerine (not quite yellow, not quite orange). Enjoy!

Barely There PINK

• 1 Quickpage
  
• 3 papers
• 1 journaling tag
• 2 acrylic flowers
• 1 pearls-on-a-wire
• 1 flourish stamp
• 1 frame

Please note that unless specifically listed, none of the files come with drop shadows seen in the preview (except, of course, for the quickpage itself). And, as always now, please leave me comments, suggestions, helpful hints or thank you's! I'd also love to see any LO's done with my designs.
