September Papers

Here are the papers for the September Color kit. I couldn't help it, I had to use the woodsy look again! It just seemed to fit so well with the fall colors of this months swatch. The orangey one is my fave, it has some really great texture. Password is: woody The frames are done, and the stuff is in the works (I just have to decide which direction I want to go). I started out doing felt elements, but then they didn't coordinate with the frames. This is how I end up over-doing it every time!

What do we say?

Roxined,
Thank you so much for the kind words. I too scrapped in paper for many, many years. I went digital in 2006 and haven't made a paper page since! If you would like to email me, my addy is in my profile or on the side bar, and I would be glad to share some great tutorials that I used when I started. Quick pages are a great way to get your feet wet learning about layers and moving around in your photo program and ending up with a nice LO. If you get that wide format printer figured out, you will have to give me some tips. ROTFL!!! I have had mine for over a year and have only printed about a dozen pages. I scrap in 12 x 12, resize to 8 x 8, print on my regular photo printer and put into the 8 x8 albums from The Paper Studio.
Welcome to Bubbles Babbles,
Vicki (Bubbles)

Ya'll may have noticed the "follow" in the side bar. This is something new that Blogger has come out with. It works kinda like Feedburner, but without the day late emails. From what I have seen so far, it is pretty much real time. So, if you have a Google account, feel free to sign up!

In other news, I am thinking about updating the blog. I really want to go to a three column layout, but I am afraid of crashing the whole thing. If anyone has any tips on this I would be most grateful!

Summer Cocktail

The Grandparents Day lunch was great! Wyatt was so excited, he didn't even want to play on the playground after lunch. He said he didn't want to miss a minute! He is truly my Sweetie Pie. You know you really love your grandbaby when you leave work to drive 80 miles roundtrip to have a 30 minute lunch in a school cafeteria!
Today Vicki20 http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ will start the release of "Summer Cocktail". Here is my LO and the QP. This photo is from our Cancun trip. Matt and Shawna are so sweet together! Password is: smooch Although this kit is called "Summer Cocktail", I think the colors will be great for your fall LO's, too. Just to let ya'll know, on Mondays from now on my post will not be until after 11:30 AM, so that I can coordinate with Vicki's kit release.

Worth the Wait?

Busy, busy, busy! I've got so much going on, it doesn't seem like I'm ever gonna get anything finished! I did, however, manage to complete this LO that I created using the "Precious Pumpkin" kit by vicki20 @ http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ This kit is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! You can get this kit for yourself just by signing up for the Scrap N' Art news letter. I'm pretty danged proud of this page, even if I do say so myself! Password is: fall I know it's been slim pickins' around here this week, but maybe this page was worth the wait! I hope to be able to finish up some of my projects this weekend so that next week will be better. The papers are done for the September Color kit, I think ya'll will like this one.
I have to get to work now, I have a very important lunch date. I am going to Sweetie Pie Wyatt's school for the Grandparents Day lunch!

Boys Will Be Boys QP (and a tiny 2-fer)

Today we have a page made from "Boys Will Be Boys" by the fab Vicki20 @http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ I really had fun with the doodle frame. Jump right on over there and snag this kit for yourself! Be sure and tell her I sent 'ya and please leave her some love.

Password is: grin I hope everyone had a terrific Labor Day weekend! I didn't go anywhere, just hung around the house till yesterday, then I went over to Matt & Shawna's. We didn't barbeque, My Girl made enchiladas and boy howdy, they were good! Then I made homemade ice cream, I thought for a while I was gonna have to try the double ziplock bag trick, the ice cream freezer is on it's last legs and just barely sputtered along, but I babied it till till the ice cream finally froze. Wyatt ate THREE bowls!

Remember your manners!

While playing around with some actions on Sunday, I came up with this felt watermelon! I was very pleased with it! Zoom in and check it out, it really does look like felt! I made a bunch of felt stuff, but thought I would give the watermelon today, in case any one could use it for their last picnic of the summer photos.

Comments

The new format of 4-shared sucks. To leave a comment, you have to scroll down. Please do so, or leave it here on the blog. (I really like that, then I know when you leave one). Since this is the only form of compensation that I receive, I do tend to look forward to the ego boost that your kind words provide. Be advised that if the comments stop, so will I. And yes, the date on this post is 2010, that is the only way I could figure out how to make it sticky on blogger. Okey Dokey, I think everyone has pretty much got the idea, I am gonna change the date to August 31, 2008. The dates are screwin' with my archiving. You would think a big outfit like Google could come up with a way to make a sticky post.

Sand Monster

WooHoo! Two weekend posts in a row! Don't ya'll go gettin' used to this! It just seems like here lately I don't (as Kim B says) even have time to fart, and the weekend is the only time I can really relax and chat with ya'll. Now I don't want an uproar over my using this word (remember the turd word event?), but it is just TOO true. So if this word offends you, I extend my deepest apologies, but get real! I keep thinking I will get caught up, but it just ain't happenin'. Anyway, here is another page I made using the August Color Challenge kit. These are the photos that I created the sand paper for, it just took me a little while to get the LO together. Password is: sandy Since there has been such a favorable response to the arrow (made from Vicki20's doodle brushes), I left it on the QP.
Now on to address some misc. stuff.
To sylvia 92: I tested the download and didn't have a problem, sometimes 4shared is just quirky, if you continue to have a problem, you will have to supply me with your email in order for me to help you, it is not on your profile.
To date, I have left all my links up. If you find any that are broken, if you let me know, I will fix them.
I'm not even 'gonna tell the regulars to stop reading, 'cause I know you will read the whole danged thing. So here goes. I just have to tell ya'll, there is something I have been pondering. I check 4shared almost everyday. What is the deal that if a file is more than a few days old that makes people think that they don't need to acknowledge the fact that they downloaded the gift? Take for instance a file from July. It is pretty much downloaded everyday, in fact was downloaded yesterday, but the last comment left is dated July 20. Ya'll please enlighten me here just in case I missed out on something. If this continues, I will be forced to start making downloads available for a limited amount of time, and I really don't want to do this, as we are continually receiving new readers. So I guess the jist of it is, if you download a file, I don't care if it is two years old, you should still have the common courtesy to say thank-you.
And 'lest ya'll think that I am the only one that thinks along these lines, think again! Just hop right on over to http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ and read her little rant. See, I am not the only that gets PO'ed about this, I am just the only one that rags on it on a continuing basis. I know I have said it till I'm blue in the face, but I'm 'gonna say it again, have the courtesy to say thank you to EVERY designer you download from. The two seconds that it takes you to post a simple "TY" can make a designers day! Okey Dokey, I'm climbing down off the soap box, for now! ROTFLPIMP!!!
If anyone is interested, I used Jokerman font for the title and just gave it a simple inner ridge emboss.

Leftovers Under Glass!

Ya'll should know by now how I tend to go overboard when I start making stuff! So here are the random bits and pieces leftover from the August Color kit, although when served under glass they look fresh. LOL!!! I made the doodle arrow and flower using Doodle brushes from Vicki @ http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ Password is: excess Heck, it's a mini kit! I am gonna attempt to leave work a little early today, so maybe I'll just leave the chatty post for tomorrow.
Oh, one more thing. If you are new to the blog and find any broken links, please let me know. I have fixed them in the past, but evidently everytime 4shared does some kind of maintenance they manage to screw up some links.
