Indy & Blog Freebie

I was contacted by a regular blog follower who said she really enjoyed my kits and asked if I would make a kit based off of Indiana Jones. I thought about it, and figured, why not, lol, so, this kit was made for her, and for her darling son who just loves Indiana Jones.

The kit is called Indy, and it's full of Indiana Jones embellishments, great textures, fun patterns and fabulous colors. If you have a son or daughter who loves Indiana Jones, or if you even love the Indiana Jones Adventure ride at Disneyland or Disneyworld, you'll love this kit. And don't worry, the kit does have regular elements in it so you can use it for just about anything.

Check out what my amazing Creative Team, and blog follower Brooke has done, just too great.


Check out the kit in it's entirely. All images linked to store.

And of course, coordinating quick pages made by my fabulous CT and myself.

Also a freebie quick page too. Click preview download and leave your love!

For the rest of this week if you use coupon code Indy, you can get $1.00 off your purchase of either the kit of the QPs. Enjoy!

Touchdown and Blog Freebie

I have never enjoyed football, even when I was in High School, I only went to the games with my friends because they begged me too. lol. Even to this day, we don't watch football in our house. However, now that my oldest has started to play Flag Football, I do enjoy watching it, but only because of him. He plays so well, and he does so good. His team even made it to the Super Bowl and won! Because of all the pictures I have of him playing Flag Football, this kit was made. I hope you enoy it, the bright colors and fun embellishments make it perfect for any football picture you have waiting to be scrapped.

Before I show you what my Creative Team has done, the correct number of embellishments in this kit is 53. Only 2 guessed correctly, and the person who gets this kit for free is ...

Check out the layout I did with her kit. Then click her preview to go to her blog, and make sure you go back each day to get the entire kit.

And if your looking for my freebie... read the below post. :)


I have to share the story about this layout.

I am sure you do the same thing... you have a kit you have to work with or want to work with but no pictures... what do you do? Go take the pictures of course. lol. Well, with the kids in school and Chloe napping, the only other thing to take pictures of is my dog Chico. So, we wandered outside to the neighbors to take pictures of him in the leaves. Now, if you ever tried to pose a dog for pictures, it is not easy. He was scared of the leaves that I was piling around him, and he did not want to stay put. And the cars that drove past and the school across the street... I am sure they where wondering what in the world I was doing with my dog. It was just to funny.


If you download, make sure you leave her your love! It's nicer that way!

Sweet Romance - A Collab with Maurine Settler

A while back I made a comment in my blog post that if anyone who I hadn't done collab with wanted to do one with me, to get in contact with me, and someone did... Maurine with Let Me Scrapbook. She came up with this wonderful palette, and from there the name and kit was created.

Before I show you more about the kit, I want to take this time to introduce another CT member... Kim. I am glad to have her here with my team. I've been watching her as a layout artist since she first joined STS and she has grown in her talent in many ways. Welcome about Kimmie! :)



So, over the course of this week if you come back every day, to my blog and Maurine's, you can pick up this great kit called 'Sweet Romance'. Check out the previews, first mine, then Maurine's. As you all know, by now, I'm not a pastel person, but I think this is another fabulous kit created!


Check out what my fabulous Creative Team did with this kit. So dang cute. (and many thanks to Amber with Stolen Moments Design for her wonderful 'Collage Action'... a true time saver for my busy life!)



And what you've all been waiting for, the first download, the papers. Click on my preview to download, then click on Maurine's to be directed to her blog to download.

No longer available, you may purchase from the store. Thanks.
