LOVE Layout … and Darkness!

Isn’t this layout beautiful?? It was created by one of our dear creative team members over at PGD, Whit …

This beautiful page uses items from my newest digiscrap release, “Romantic Dreams.”

 

And now something totally off-topic … I just created a special artwork to submit to Wacom’s Darkness theme contest on Facebook. I used my own handpainted watercolor background along with several items extracted from my own photographs. So here’s a peek:

Good night all! … or, if it’s Tuesday morning by the time you read this … have a wonderful day! ;D

It’s September! (I always love celebrating a new month! :D)

We turned the calendar this week to a new month, and with it the fall season starts to roll in. Autumn is my favorite season, though I don’t really consider it to have arrived until October (my fav month!), when the foliage really starts to turn and the weather gets just gorgeous!

Today I have so much wonderful digiscrap news to share – beautiful guest CT layouts and a new kit that has everyone wanting to get out their cross stitch projects! :D

First my new release: Cross Stitchery (on sale *today* for 30% off)

These are all available in my PGD Shoppe!

Here is a layout I created with Cross Stitchery using a photo I had from a number of years back when my brother, Bryan, and his wife were still just dating. So sweet! :D

Bryan and Tammy 2001

BONUS: This layout was created with my Cross Stitchery QP which is available as a freebie to my Facebook Fan Page members! (If you are not yet a member, become one and post a note on my FB Page – I’ll get you the QP download link!)

 

Now for some more scrapbook pages… I had some wonderful gals do some layouts this week using my Yellow Spotted Fever kit, and what an awesome job they did! Here are just a few, be sure to click on them to get a closer look in the PGD gallery.

Hikers & Geocachers: Scrap With This!

With all the photos I have from wonderful hikes with my husband that also served as geocaching hunts, I decided it was time to have a kit for scrapping those photos! No doubt there are plenty of other hikers, geocachers, scouting families, and outdoor enthusiasts who’d like to scrap their outdoor adventures as well, so my newest release at PGD is HIKE AND SEEK. This fun kit includes everything a hiker and/or geocacher could need for scrapping: binoculars, cedar branch, compass, GPS unit, ammo can & microcache, notepad, pencil, hidden cache, grass, bark frame, small bird, and much more!

 

New Kit In Store: Americana Salute!

Today you can get my newest kit at PGD! Americana Salute is a wonderful patriotic kit with a bit of grunge & a bit of prim to it! It’s perfect for scrapping photos of your military heroes or your 4th of July celebration! And because today is Fantabulous Friday at PGD, you get Americana Salute for 30% off for TODAY ONLY!

 

I created this layout of my Navy son using Americana Salute:

Ahhhh.....the Winter Blues Papers!

Had a wonderful time today playing an interestingly "modern" version of Monopoly with hubby and sons - the "debit card" version. It was a kick! No paper money, just PLASTIC. Too funny! If you haven't seen this version, it has a little calculator-type machine that you slide your card into for adding or deducting money. The squares on the board include places like Times Square, Fenton Park, DISNEY WORLD, Cell Phone Service, Internet Service, and so on. Had a great time, and I *almost* won! lol

So you've come for the papers in the Winter Blues kit??? They are ready for your scrapping pleasure - just download them HERE.

Winter Blues ~ A New Digital Kit!!

I am *so* excited about my newest digital kit, and I am giving it away to my blog/site visitors! Today I'll share the kit preview for Winter Blues, and I'll give you a special add-on to download. Yes, I know that sharing the add-on first is totally out of order, but it's a desktop wallpaper for January, and I want to get it to you right away! The wallpaper will come in two sizes - standard and widescreen. It will also be available with & without a photograph so that you can choose to add your own photo, if desired, using photo-editing software. The included photo was taken right here on Moose Trail Acres earlier this week.

The desktop wallpapers are jpg files, and I kept the file size very reasonable.

Be sure to check back tomorrow and get the papers for Winter Blues!
