Almost March?!?! Must be time for a freebie!

I can't believe that it is almost March already but it must be because Haynay has her next installment of Chronicling Life available today! Below is a preview of the March Mini Add-on but if you have missed some of the previous months there is also a great bundle (at a grea price!) in the shop as well. Plus be sure to pop over to Haynay's blog for a great P365 template freebie (and be sure to get all the way to the bottom of this post for another freebie!)


I have been working a lot more recently training for a new position and was getting more requests to see pictures of my sweet girls. So I figured it was time to put together some badge size pages and Chronicling Life was the perfect kit - aren't they cute??

And just 'cause I love y'all I made them into quickpages so you can have your own! Don't wear a badge? That's ok - these are perfect for your iPhone or a cute little brag book. Click on the preview below to download.

Well, I am off and running to work with my badge on!

Toot! Toot!

All aboard the blog train!! Plum Dumpling Designs has put out a FABULOUS Valentine's Day Kit and none of us on the Creative Team could resist the chance to do a blog train. Here is a preview of the kit (click link to pick it up at ScrapMatters):

Great right? Not to pink and girly but lots of fun little touches - I love the paper cut outs! The big girls and I used the kit to make some Valentine's Day cards that attach to a lollipop for their class parties coming up soon:

So that is your blog train freebie! Just print out the Valentine cards (I mounted them on some red cardstock to make them sturdier), punch a couple of holes and slip in a lollipop!

You probably arrived here from Lynn's Blog and the next stop on the train is Chel's Blog. If you get lost along the way or are just joining you can start at the Plum Dumpling Blog to make sure you hit all the stations.

Have fun riding the rails!

Chronicling Life in February – and a Freebie!

Haynay has done it again this month with another great add-on to the Chronicling Life line for February. Whether you are doing P365 or not, this is a great everyday kit with monthly/seasonal add-ons. By the end of the year you will have MEGA kit! Here is the base kit bundle:

And here is the *NEW* February Mini (pssttt - don't tell but there are a couple of extra papers not shown in the preview!):

I decided that my desk needed a calendar so I used the base kit and February mini so put together a CD Case Calendar:

Isn't it so cute?? Want one of your own?? Well you're in luck becuase I turned mine into a Quick Page for you. Click on the preview below to download and leave a note saying Hi if you do!

Happy February!

Back In The Game

I know that I have been gone for quite a while but I am getting back in the game! And if I am going to get blogging again than I really need to give away some freebies right? Well, come back tomorrow for not one but TWO fun freebies!

Lots to Celebrate!!! So of course there is a freebie!

I know that I have been absent the past few months but I am back with lots to celebrate!! First
is that the reason for my absence - being in school full time this summer - is done! I have finished my Nursing Asssistant training and things are slowly returning back to normal. Well, as normal as it gets running around after three little monkeys (umm, I mean princesses!).

The second thing to celebrate is the reason for the post today - it is Haynay's Birthday!!! Her ScrapMatters birthday that is:


There are going to be so many give-aways and games that you wont even believe it!!! When Haynay asked us what we wanted to give away for her birthday celebration I just knew that I wanted to give away one of her template packs. Y'all know how much I love templates right? So do you want to get one of Haynay's template packs for free??? All you have to do is show me how much you love templates too but picking up my freebie template below (image is linked) and creating a layout using one of Haynay's products. There are so many awesome ones to choose from - you can click here to check them all out in her shop. The freebie template below includes a psd file, png files AND a page file (for you Storybook users!) so everyone can play along - no excuses!

Once you have created your layout using the freebie template and one of Haynay's kits leave me a comment with a link to your layout and on Monday August 24th I will randomly pick a winner!

Can't wait to see all your layouts and don't forget to keep your eyes peeled at ScrapMatters, DST and DSA for more fun, games and giveaways by the rest of the Haynay CT!

Bad, Bad Blogger - so how about a Freebie??

Life here has been beyond crazy so as a result I have been a bad blogger - I apologize. I will post a little later this week and catch you up on what has been going on here in the castle- but in the meantime I do have some fun news!

There is a GREAT new digi scrap designer on the scene named Sarah Bennett and I am so excited that she invited me to be on her Creative Team!!! She has a new kit out today called Forever Beautiful and is it ever! Plus, you can get it for 25% off today (image is linked to her shop)!

Here is the page that I did using it - there are so many beautiful things in this kit!

As a fun way to kick off the Creative Team announcment, some of us made a freebie for you! I turned my Layout into a QP and I know that there are a few other freebies as well so head over to Sarah's Blog to pick up a great add-on to Forever Beautiful and see a list of where all the other freebies are! You can click on the image below to grab my quickpage.

I promise that I won't be gone so long this time and boy oh boy do I have some news. But first I must do some laundry - so go grab all those fun freebies and come back later for my tale of comedy and tragedy!

Sisters 4 Life

I know that y'all are just here to laugh at my college photos but a little background first. During my college years I was in a sorority, AOPi at Purdue, and it was the best three years! I lived in a house with 80 women and made more life long friends and memories than any one person deserves. So I was so excited when Sya teamed up with Britt-ish Designs to put together this FABULOUS kit - Sisters For Life:

And let me tell you - this isn't just for sorority pictures! It is packed with all kinds of girly goodness with just a splash of sorority. But I just had to bust out the sorority pictures so here ya go:

Isn't the kit amazing???? Be sure to pick it up at ScrapMatters and visit both Sya's and Britt's blog to pick up freebie add-ons and see more great layouts using Sisters For Life.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
