Fall Splendor Freebie Mega Kit:

Way back in July I got an email from Kristine of WenchdGrafix Designs for participants in the "Fall Splendor" blog EVENT! I thought to myself, sure, why not??, sounds like fun... I could make a few things. Then when I actually started getting into it the few things turned into practically my own Mega Kit but I couldn't stop myself.

The last I heard there were approximately 67 participants from all different time zones, all over the world, so if their part isn't posted yet, please be patient and keep checking back!

The links are scheduled to be available until Halloween so NO STRESSING.... Okay?

Please leave all the participants some love in the form of a nice THANK YOU comment as a lot of time and effort has gone into creating all these goodies and this is the only form of payment requested :)

Enough blabbing... here's my part ( with "no waiting" links below the preview, however, you will need the PW which is fallsplendor for all the zippies ):

Now POP on over to Blog Party Central to find all the rest of your goodies...

Blog Party Central is scheduled to be open to the public by 11:59 EST on Sept 30th!

Thanks & Enjoy!

Purple Stuff Freebie...

Wow... What happened to September? I have been so deeply immersed in PhotoShop and learning soooo much that my head is spinning! Still, it's all good and it will be really fun to see what everybody else has come up with on Oct. 1st when the Fall Splendor Blog Train gets rolling ;)

Fall started officially a few days ago and not until last night did we get our First Cold Front of the new season.... Temps in the 60's @ night and low 80's during the day [ that's Farenheit for the rest of the world :) ]. This is what makes the HOT, Soggy, Humid and unbearable Summers all worthwhile. I feel energized now that I have come up for air and ready to get caught up on my Home Work!

For those of you interested in becoming a designer, or just learning how to see the world from the designer's perspective { actually, the 2nd choice would be me as I have no aspirations to ever sell anything scrapping... more like a hobby }, there is a really awesome new Academy that started up at SAS with the Lovely AND Talented Sherah who also just recently designed all the graphics for the SAS site makeover!

I am currently in week 3 of the Innaugral Class and already have been totally amazed with all the info.!! I sure could have used all this info. about a Year and a Half ago when I was just beginning to dip my toes into this pool. It will definitely put you on the Bullet Train to Designerville!

I've got soooo much else to say but no time to keep chatting so for now let me point you in the direction of the latest edition of the SAS Newsletter which is filled with great info. and freebies.

Here is your little teaser for the upcoming "Fall Splendor". My part turned out to be a Mega Kit ( with my main efforts being focused on Word Art ) since I got sooooo carried away... but for now this will have to hold you over. I love the color Purple and just needed to make some even though it wasn't in the color palette. I hope you will like it.

LayOut Design Challenge ~ My 1st Submission

Wow! I'm already learning soooo much about creating better LayOuts and it is only week #1 of the LayOut Design Challenge @ SAS.

Here is my 2 page LO....

What do you think? I used a template by designer
Julie Cohen and the FREE Welcome Kit for joining SAS by designer/owner Julie Olree. The fonts used are: Georgia & Magneto.

The Poem reads as follows:

"Butterfly"

Flutter by,
Butterfly,
Floating flower
in the sky.
Kiss me with your
Petal wings---
Whisper secrets,
Tell of spring.
