Digi Scrap Diva Freebie!

Good Morning!
Hope the last few weeks have treated you well.  I have had a very busy fall, vacationing in California, coming home and getting back in the swing of things, getting ready for Christmas...it's been a whirl wind!  There have been some great new kits by CatDesignz that have come out, Christmas and other.  Here is her latest beauty called Digiscrap Diva.  With so many options available, clusters, wordart, papers, and the whole bundle, you are sure to find the perfect Digi Kit to suit your Diva!

It has been delightful playing around with all of these goodies.  Here is some inspiration for you!

As a little gift to you, Catherine is giving away a little wordart freebie for you.  I think this is the perfect scrapbookers saying.

WORDART FREEBIE

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
Happy Scrappin!

Memories of Dad

Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share with you today a little personal project of mine.
My father-in-law passed away this spring and so as part of his memorial I went about gathering photo's from everyone that I could and going through all our old photographs to pull together a slide show so that the family could look back on Dad's life and remember the man that he was all the wonderful times we had together with him.  After the memorial I was able to gather a few more photographs to complete "his life in pictures" in order to print a hardcover album for us to enjoy for many years to come.  This was true therapy for me as I was putting together the slide show for the memorial and now afterwards it brings me such joy to be able to look back on all these little moments that I and my family had with my father-in-law.  Just one more reminder as to how important it is to keep bringing out that camera every chance you get, but more importantly get those photo's organised and scrapbooked.  You just never know what turns life will take and how much you will appreciate looking back on those fond memories.  Life is short, scrap it!

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Happy Scrappin!

Betty White Memories and Friday Freebie!

Happy Friday Everyone!
I know I have been away for awhile, I am sorry I have left you all hanging!
We just got back from a trip to California so things were a bit crazy before we left and it has taken me a bit to get caught up now that I am home :)
I hope the past few weeks have been good to you and that you are ready to "scrap" with me again!
Another gorgeous little kit has been released again from CatDesignz. This kit is just full of beautiful florals, swirls, and frames.  The colors are some of my favorites!  Rich corals, vibrant greens, pretty peach and of course we can't forget orange!  This fabulous little kit is called "Keep Calm & Be Thankful".  I have a couple of layouts I have done with it, these ones are among my favorite pages now (and as you know, I have done A LOT of pages!)

These 2 pages feature some photos that we just took when we spent a bit of time visiting Madame Toussaud's Wax Museum in Hollywood, California.  Betty White has me re-living fond childhood memories!

Don't forget to check out some of the other Keep Calm related products that Catherine has created.  She even has a bundle offer available for you if you just can't decide!

Now for your Friday Freebie!  In keeping with our Keep Calm & Be Thankful theme, Catherine has very kindly offered up her Thankful Calm Stacked Papers.  These are only FREE until Monday, so grab them while you can!

I would like to leave you with one last thing.  About a month or so ago, I told you about the launch of my BRAND NEW BLOG, Memories In Minutes!  I would really love your help!  As I am sure you know, I am very passionate about scrapbooking as I am sure you are.  I really want to share it with the world and get those people who are afraid to try it on board and show them just how easy it is to preserve their memories for future generations.  Please help me in spreading the word and check out my new blog.  It's quick and easy and a great way to get started down memory preservation lane! It's a free program and even a free quickpage to try it out.  Go to http://makingmemoriesinminutes.blogspot.ca/ to take a peek!  I would love to know what you think of my new blog, so please stop on by and drop me a comment and don't forget to TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Friday Freebie-New Digi Scrapping Blog-New Scrapping Group

Good Morning! Once again my week has disappeared before my eyes and Friday is upon us! A couple of things to tell you about: A new kit will be available shortly from CatDesignz. It is a beautiful kit, perfect for the upcoming Christmas season and you will be able to get it as either a large designer kit with all of the beautiful elements that work together, or you can choose between a couple of broken down versions with some of the elements in each. Here are a couple of layout samples to show you what you will see in this gorgeous kit.

This should be available for you in the upcoming week.  Head over to the CatDesignz store to keep watch!

The other thing I would like to tell you about is the launch of my BRAND NEW BLOG, Memories In Minutes!  I know that most of you who stop on by are accomplished scrapbookers, but what about the people you know who are not?  Have you ever been asked by a friend or a family member, "How did you do that?" OR Have you ever been told "I would love to know how to learn to scrapbook all my family photos, but I just don't know how.", OR Maybe even "I don't want to spend money on a program if I don't know that I will have time to do this."  Well I now have the solution to get all your friends and family started down memory preservation lane!  It starts with a free on-line photo editing program, a short 4 step tutorial, and free quickpage to get them started. Go to http://makingmemoriesinminutes.blogspot.ca/ to take a peek!  I would love to know what you think of my new blog, so please stop on by and drop me a comment and don't forget to TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

One more thing, I will be hosting a Facebook Timeline Cover Challenge on Wednesday, October 17th through the group Catz Wonder Challenges.  This group hosts various challenges and of course there will be prizes!  If you are interested in this or any other upcoming challenges, you will want to hop on over and join our little group, it's going to be a blast!

Now for your Friday Freebie!  This is a double quickpage made by Catherine called Seraphina Double Quickpage and co-ordinates with the designer kit Seraphina, enjoy!

Friday Freebie - Love Thy Father

Happy Friday Everyone!
Well, the school supplies have been bought, there are a few new things to add to the closet, and we have a brand new haircut to sport!  I know what all that means to my daughter, but to me it means another photograph opportunity and more pictures to scrapbook as she enters another year of school and she grows another year older!
Time is just flying by and I often feel as though I will never get caught up on those photographs.  If you feel the same way, you might want to look toward using photobooks and templates.  They make scrapping your memories really quick and easy.  All you need to do is drop in your own photos and your done!  The fantastic thing about photobooks and templates is that you are not stuck with just one set layout.  You can move things around, add or delete embellishments, the choice is yours.  If you hop on over to Catherine's My Memories store you will see she has an amazing assortment of photobooks and templates to choose from as well as kits and quickpages.  Right now the sale is on, 35% off at checkout which you can use for everything in her store, even sale items!  The last day of the sale is Aug 31st so don't miss out!

How is a template set different than a photobook?  It is a smaller form of a photobook, usually 4 different page layouts.  You will find many sets have the same or similar layouts as their matching photobook counterparts, just broken down into a smaller set, perfect if you are only looking for a few pages!
Using the My Memories software (which you can pick up for a steal of a deal using my special code STMMMS74799 ) all you need to do is drop in your photos and your finished!  Print, make a DVD or create a video to share on line with your family and friends!  Nothing could be easier, especially when you have gorgeous kits and photobooks on hand!

Looking for something whimsical?  How about this photobook called My Happy Ever After.  I just LOVE the cute little elements I used from Catherine's kit Life Is A Fairy Tale.


How about something for the boys?  This is from the photobook called "X Marks The Spot" and is sure to be perfect for all those pictures of the boys (and all those princess pirates too)!  These fantastic elements come straight from the amazing new kit called Pirate Gold!

 
Although the photobooks and template sets require the My Memories software to use, you can still purchase Catherine's kits which can be downloaded in either the My Memories format or in General format for use in whatever program you currently use.
