Mini Kit

I know, everyone is probably tired of fall colors and is ready for Christmas stuff, but I made a little mini kit to use for my Thanksgiving pages and decided what the heck...maybe ya'll could use it, too. The cute notebook paper frame is courtesy of Gunhild Storeide @ http://www.storeide.se/gunhild/velkommen.htm She has some wonderful creations that she shares, check it out! There are three of the scratched and worn papers in png form. I uploaded each of them separately, because using this overlay makes for a pretty large file. I made the sequins using a nifty little action from Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ . Password is: leaf (for all links, I can't think of anything else)



And here's my turkey page and the QP for ya'll. I'll try to find the time to fill ya'll in on Fridays
shopping trip later! Password is: leaf

Another gift! expired

PS, I Love U

Well, here's something we haven't had for quite a while. A QP made from one of Anita @ http://nanas-attic.blogspot.com/ wonderful kits! Yes, after a long hiatus, she is back to creating, and as usual they are absolutely fabulous. She indulges my need for foo-foo SOOO well! LOL!!! I took this pic of Ms. Lil blowing me one of her famous Cheeto kisses! Password is: cheesy

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I may try to pop in Saturday, it depends on how exhausted I am from the Super-Duper shopping trip on Friday. I found this cute page kit @ http://crops2dawn.blogspot.com/ This is the cutest turkey! I have several projects in the works, maybe I can get some finished over the weekend.

Who Likes to Shop?

Okay, I admit it. My name is Vicki, and I'm a shopaholic. Shopping is FUN! It's a form of entertainment. The hunt for the perfect "thing" at a great price and finally finding it is such a thrill! So naturally, Black Friday is paradise for me! I take off work and hit the stores for an all day extravaganza. Hellmart is always first on the list, then the truck is full, so I go to the office and unload, then run to J.C. Penney's and Belk. Those are my Big Three. Then it's another unload at the office and then a more leisurely cruise through the other stores at the mall. Last year was the first time I took photos of the end result, Dad said I looked like the Beverly Hillbillies, my poor truck was crammed to the gills, and this was only one load! I scrapped this page to document some of my booty! I wish I could give credit for the Santa paper, but I can't even find it now. It was just perfect for this LO. If I remember correctly, it was scanned from gift wrap. If anyone knows who created it, please let me know, I would love to give credit where it is due. If ya'll say it's Cinzia Loosemore, then thanks go to Cinzia! However, I have been to the web site because I wanted to buy the paper, since I can't find it on my cram packed HD, and it's not in the Holiday Magic set. Any ideas where I could find it?

I've Got Sunshine...

Here's the LO that I had in my mind when I started the November Color Challenge. I still had The Temptations on the 'ole brain at the time! LOL!!! First it was "sunshine on a cloudy day", then it was a "song sweeter than the birds in the trees", and that's how it all came about. Well, hey...it all made sense to me at the time! Sometimes I think that the seventies may be finally catching up with me! LMFAO!!! Password is: cloudy Hope ya'll enjoy!

November Color Challenge

I've got the November Color Challenge done. Today ya'll get the papers. They are heavily textured. I guess all that texture weighed them down, 'cause when I went to upload them, it was a 66 mb file! LOL!!! So, I split them into two files to make it easier for ya'll to download. Here's the swatch. Now that I think of it, this would make a pretty Christmas kit, but it's too late now!

A First! (and maybe the last!)

Today for your scrapping pleasure I give to you my first alpha. It may also be the last, unless I find a better way. I don't know what secrets Vicki P. http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ has, but I do know that she must have some to be able to put out the wonderful alphas with every kit. It took me over 3-1/2 hours to make this one! I was fooling around with Kim's November swatch, and this is one of the colors. It should be fairly versatile. As you can see, it's in a warm, fuzzy felt style. The cute jar is courtesy of Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ .

Well, the filesavr experiment doesn't seem to be working out. Some of you have reported not being able to download Candy Dreams, or getting a 5 hour download time. That is unacceptable. There have also been concerns over virus scanning. I don't think filesavr was prepared to take on Scrapland. So...as much as it pains me, back to crappy no comment 4shared we go. I have posted a new link to Candy Dreams for those who could not download it previously. (Password is: sweet). The password for the alpha is: fuzzy
