Choo-Choo, All Aboard!

I can't believe it's already August. It seems to have gone by slow, yet fast at the same time. (I think it's always that way, especially when pregnant.)

I decided to go ahead and participate in Stuff To Scrap's monthly blog train, and I'm glad I did... it's such a great palette. You should really consider participating in next month's train, even if you are just learning. Click HERE for more information.

Anyway, here's mine. Click on the preview to download from 4shared, then hop on the train and download all the other goodies. Be sure to leave your love along the way!!

Template Temptations Volume 9

Before I tell you about my latest templates, please take some time and vote on the right hand side on when you'd like to receive my newsletters. I haven't been sending them as often as I would like, but figured I should find out when my subscribers would like to receive them - don't want to over email you all. :)

Ok, back to the fun stuff... I have released yet another template pack - only because so many of you keep requesting that I do.

I love how these templates turned out!. The best thing about my templates are you can move them around to fit your needs. Flip the template different directions for even new takes on layouts. There are so many possiblities with them. The guidelines on the templates are only that, guidelines... change it up with different elements. Instead or ricrac use a ribon or a strip of paper. You can use these all my templates over and over again to create many different layouts.

Check out what my Creative Team did with these templates.

And here they are. Image is linked to the store. And this week only they are 30% off. What a deal! Want to see all of my templates, click HERE to see all 9 volumes and the 2 value packs.

In other news, you should check out this month's palette for the STS Blog Train. It is so pretty. Let's just say, the first part of August you'll want to make sure you grab all the pieces to this train. If you want to participate, click HERE For more information.

Bugs and Blossoms and Freebie

Do your kids like bugs? Mine do. Which grosses me out, because I hate them. Out of all 3 of my kids, my middle Madison LOVES bugs. If she could have her "pet" bugs inside the house, she would.

I made this kit, 'Bugs and Blossoms' with my adorable sweet daughter Madison in mind since she loves bugs. With the fun colors, it's really perfect for any child, boy or girl, and then with the added flowers (you see where I'm going here right, lol.) - you get that girly touch. Check out these layouts by my creative team.

Here's the kit in it's entirely, all images linked.

And of course, a freebie add-on. You can click on the image and grab it off 4shared, or you can click here and get it from the store.

And this week only, all Bugs and Blossoms are 30% off. And if you buy the kit and use coupon code BABCardstocks you can get the cardstocks for FREE.

A couple of my CTs also made some freebies for you. Click HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE to jump to their blogs and download them. They are super cute. I just didn't have time to add their previews - sorry girls.
