Change of Plans - DSO Nov CC Freebie

I made some papers for the November Color Challenge over @ DSO. Then I attended my weekly chat for Digi Design Academy last Thursday Evening! Thus, the Change of Plans ;)

Sherah of SKrapperDigitals is our instructor and she has to be One of the most generous people I know. She not only teaches us such amazing techniques that I have only just begun to scratch the surface but she also gives us what she likes to call "Class Treats!" Well, this past week she made the most adorable Snowman Template Right in front of our eyes (literally as she shares her desktop) and then she gave it to us for FREE ;) Did I mention generous?? Soooooooooo.... I had to change my plans and go Wintery on my Mini Kit. For now I will give you my scrapped papers that are pretty but I am not making matching embellishments. I will be back soon with Winter Joy!





I hope you enjoy the papers and if you are so inclined to sign-up for lessons on becoming a designer then you are getting an amazing deal when you sign-up with Sherah at Digi Design Academy (this is not a paid endorsement ;)!

"Chica Bonita" a Freebie Kit for the DSO Oct CC

I made a mini kit for the October Color Challenge over @ DSO. I decided to call it "Chica Bonita." The reason is that my 4yr old granddaughter Charlotte always calls her 4 yr old cousin ( another granddaughter ) Chica rather than by her real name which is Mishka. It started when she couldn't talk so good and now we all call her that! It is just too irresistable. I think Chica Bonita translates to Pretty Girl but my Spanish never was good ( just 3 semesters in college ). If any of you can either confirm on deny that please feel free.











LINKS REMOVED


I have decided to remove all the links to my old freebies since some of them have been out there for months... all old freebie links will be removed by Midnight Tuesday ( tomorrow ) Eastern Standard Time. I will just be keeping the current months up and after that remove the links. Thanks and Enjoy!!

Embellishments (preview is linked):






Make sure you head on over and pick-up your Free Starter Kit from Boo...







One last thing, I just can't say enough nice things about Sherah who teaches the Digi Design Aademy... she is possibly the sweetest, most generous person I know. I used several freebies she gave out at one of our weekly class chats in this Trick or Treat Mini! I never have had any real aspirations to be a designer, it is more a hobby to me but I have learned soooo much about all the hardwork and quality control ( which really appeals to me with my engineering background )... You owe it to yourself to sign-up and take this course, even if just for fun like me.

Grungy Garden Freebies ~ Last Part

I'm Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired... Wednesday @ the Pediatrician's Office we were prescribed with Flu Medicine as the children have the symptons and rapid flu test confirmed it. That is what I get for sending them to school. Oh, and the joy of trying to "FIND" the meds and get the insurance to Pay for it...Not Cheap! But by Thursday they were acting much better so the Tamiflu must be doing its job to keep the virus from replicating itself.

Today they are bouncing off the walls and they can't go back to school till mid next week. It is like Summer all over again and I am the designated Chair of the Entertainment Committee :)

I'm ready for that Calgon Bubble Bath!

I am anticipating cooler weather here in Central Florida around mid to late October and believing October will be an awesome month... I could use a little charge with cooler weather after our typical ridiculously Hot and Humid Summer... after living here for 38 years I can say I still get tired of Summer really quick!

Well, here is the 3rd and Final part of the "Grungy Garden," once a Mini and now a Mega Kit using the September Palette for the Color Challenge over @ DSO.

I'm off to figure out what's for dinner?? We finished off all the Chilli and Homemade Chicken Soup I made so I dunno, Shepherd's Pie?? ... Enjoy :)

"Grungy Garden" Add-Ons Galore ~ Freebies :)

Well, I said I would be back before the end of the month and I still have a week left! It has been an exhausting month around here... everyone been sick in One way shape, form or another... Fevers, Antibiotics... Two trips to the ER... Oooof! But FINALLY it seems we are catching a break only to find out that now there is a confirmed case of H1N1 at the school and they won't tell me if the sick child ( who hasn't been in school since Thursday ) is in either of the kids classrooms. You better believe I have been a sanitizing fool and I am soooooo over it. We went and played at the McDonald's Playland today because I am NOT gonna live in fear!

So, enough of that nonsense, I have more goodies for you from the September Palette for the Color Challenge over @ DSO. It has been time consuming all the steps I have been going through making stuff and then grunging them up with filters. I think I am in LOVE with Cluster Frames and I made Ya'll a Cluster Journal Taggie too! Oh, and an Alpha this time :) I went way overboard but it is called a "Challenge!" I already got my posting bonus but I just couldn't stop myself... I am an ADDICT.

Get the Alpha download link by clicking the preview ;)

... I have even more in the Greens and Browns but haven't finished up the preview yet so "I'll Be Back" ... Enjoy :)
