Forever Young Papers #2

Well I have been MIA for the last two days, not really. I spent the weekend with Kim, helping her move and packed up her scrap room. We had a good time but man were we tired by Sunday afternoon. I had bought the WrestleMania for Denver because he did so well on his TAKS test. The school normally had trouble getting him to just finish the test and he would score really low, well this time he scored an 89 on the reading portion of the test. We did the happy dance for two days and I decided to let him have something that he really enjoys. So I get home last night, set up the DVD recorder because if I am going to pay $60 for the pay per view, by gosh, I am getting it on dvd. We pop the popcorn and get the sodas and settle in for 4 hours of wrestling. We get through the first two matches and Denver being sensible, he was wanting to go play on the swings before it got dark outside. I could not believe it, here I had spent this money as a reward and now he didn't want to watch it...his reasoning was since I was recording it he could watch it on his own time. My reasoning was..I paid for this and I was not going to have no one in the house watching it live. Well he ended up falling asleep instead and I stayed up till 10 pm watching something that I had not watched since I was a kid. I could not believe I was stuck watching this when I could have been doing something else but my stubborness made me sit and watch my $60 worth of pay per view. My lesson learned because I could have just bought the DVD in a couple of weeks for about $20 so no more pay per view wrestling in our home. The thing that really got me was this morning he woke up and wanted me to tell him who won the matches..well I told him he would have to watch the recordings because I was not going to give on telling him. Figures......just the way things work out in my house sometimes. Anyway, lets get down to business and those Freebies.

I have the papers done on the kit and considered taking a break from designing to handle things around the house due to all the chaos going on right now but I just can not post one set of papers and walk away so I will finish up the kit and then may take the weekend to catch up on my reading and things I need to do around here.

That's My Boy Quick Pages

As I said, I was going to put together some quick pages/ploppers (which ever you may call them). Please let me know if they work for you because this is my first set of them.

Download here

Going nuts this morning....

I can not believe that I am up so early and want to play with digital scraps and can't...I thought about working on the book but I keep hoping that 4 shared will come backup. I think maybe I am supposed to be doing something else this morning but my butt won't leave my seat or this computer. How unfair is it that I work all week and look forward to my cups (way more than one already this morning) of coffee and all the blogs and freebies out there and I get nothing this morning. I have been able to see everybody's new designs but heck no, Missie can't have any of them. Bummer. Well I could start working on Forever Young but I just really wanted to spend this morning seeing what everyone out there was doing. I have been so out of touch with my freebie collection lately because I have been designing away. But NO, can't do anything but window shop. These guys don't realize what kind of stress they are causing right now. Oh...what I was able to download something. Only from Rapidshare though...no 4shared. Thanks Scrap Stew Sue..go see her stuff...if you need your scrak hit.

Oh Lord, Please help me out here...I really would like to play with my fellow scrap friends out in this big ol' world. I promise to be good, Stop laughing at me Kim..not nice. Well guess God wants me to do something else this morning. Off to find out what that is.......

Forever Young Papers #1

Here is the newest kit and let me give some background. Once again, I needed a kit and my oldest came through. Clay had been playing a CD full of Texas Bands and one song really caught my ear. Forever Young by Stoney LaRue had me thinking about how Clay would be graduating in a month and thinking about all we had been through. So I had him pick out the colors and I typed up the lyrics. This is a great song and I will definitely be using it for his graduation party on the slide show. I am pretty much still building the kit and completed several elements and papers tonight but will finish it up tomorrow for our week of downloads. Enjoy and stay Forever Young.

Glad to see the weekend is here and have a Good Evening.

That's My Boy Chalked Alpha's Split out

Here is a new link for the Alphas, I split them out for those who needed them.

Download here

Thanks for the requests and enjoy them. I will try to keep in mind to break the alphas out but if I miss some don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks and Happy Friday.

That's My Boy Chalked Alphas

Well here is the last download for That's My Boy..sniff, sniff. These alphas are all on one sheet so if you need them broke out then leave me a comment and I can break them out and post them. I just remember before I had the option to do this and I was unable to use alot of files, so I don't want that happening here. Just let me know which you prefer. I had a great time with this kit and will be posting some quick pages soon, I hope. I am going to try this out and see what everyone thinks of them.

Download here

Man, what a day! Heck what a week...I have been really quite this week only because of the stuff I have been dealt this week. Won't bore you with the details, just know that I was attacked personal and spiritual this week. I even told Kim this week that I would not be praying about this and she just laughed at me. Then today I deleted my daily devotion without reading it and something told me to go back and open it. Wow, how God speaks to you in funny ways...the devotion was about praylessness. I showed Kim and she looked at me and I knew what she was thinking, my comment earlier this week was not going to work for me...so I have hit my knees once again but I have found comfort and peace in many different scriptures this week. Lets just say it will take a miracle from God to change the hurt and disappointment this week or release me of this. Either way, Ephesians is my foundation

The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Take care and remember tomorrow is Friday....

Go check out Kim's New Kit

Go check out Kim's newest kit...My Grunge Girlfriend

I wish had some girls around the house so I could do their pages but I did find some of my niece so I am going to start working on pages of her and plus begin my life scrapbook. What a soap opera on paper that will be....

Click on the picture to go to Kim's Blog and grab her kit.

YEAH ME!!! I figured out how to use her picture and link it to the blog...Kim didn't fill me in on this little trick...Shame on you for not sharing that tip :-}

Here is the second set of papers for That's My Boy.

Download here

We still have the frames and another set of papers and the alphas left to go.

Here is another layout that I made of my NASCAR Pics. I am having so much fun with these pictures and can't wait to start on my pics from my tour overseas. I have alot of pictures of me in Sicily and Crete that I want to start working on. The only problem is I am still not in my scrap room working on those books for Clayton so I have to get back to my one page a night routine.

Thanks and take care,

That's My Boy Paper #1 and Elements #2

Download Papers #1 here




Here is the Second set of elements for the kit.

Download Elements #2 here

Well we are off to hunt eggs today and take lots of pics so I will have more work to scrap. Not like I do not have enough. I still haven't finished Clay's book for Graduation and only 2 months left. I have got to get busy on the books or I won't make it. Plus, I have now decided to start making stuff for the BIG PARTY after Graduation. Well have a Great Time today and Thank the Lord for today and giving his only son so that we may be saved.

That's My Boy

It is finally done...Here is the newest kit, "That's My Boy". I have been yelling this at the boys during games for years now and decided to make a kit out of it. I had fun making this kit and even played with a few new technics in the kit. There are 3 papers sets, 2 alphas, 2 sets of elements and a set of frames. So we have a good weeks worth of downloads for this one. Have fun with it as always.

Download here

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

After a week worth of downloads, here is the last one for Texas Egg Hunt. There are five sets of alphas in the download due to I wanted the add the different colors for use. I really had fun with this kit and hope you enjoy it with all those Easter Pics you get this weekend.

Download here

I am still working on the next kit but I think I have enough to start the first download tomorrow. Kim really got me looking at different ways to manipulate things in elements tonight so it looks like it will be a late night for me because I am just having a blast with this stuff. My first day of vacation was spent actually working this morning and spent the afternoon cleaning house. YUK, hopefully I will actually be able to act like I am on vacation tomorrow other than doing the tons of laundry all these boys have created. I think we are either the nasty people or the cleanest, just not sure yet. I sure could have used Kitty's (Litterbox Creations) help today with the house cleaning but the travel charges would have definitely wiped me out. I wish I could have a cleaning crew come in twice a week to help me maintain everything but the chemical hazard suits they would need to come into the boys rooms might be hard to come by.

Well have fun with those memories and keep in mind...Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!

Texas Egg Hunt Papers #3

Well here it is the last set of papers for the Texas Egg Hunt kit. The alphas will be out tomorrow and I am putting them all in one download. Enjoy and leave a comment here if you don't mind.

Have lots of fun with the kit and have a enjoyable Easter.

Texas Egg Hunt Paper #2

Happy Monday Everyone,

Here is the second set of papers for the Texas Egg Hunt.

Download here

Have fun and if you don't mind email a layout that you complete so that I can show someone else besides my crew.

I went back to work today and not much was different but did enjoy the time that Kim and I were able to spend catching up on Scrap stuff and our families. I figured I would come home to a destroyed home because all the boys (all six) are out for Spring Break but surprisingly all was well even the animals seemed calm. Lets hope they can make it through tomorrow like they made it through today. The only way to explain the total chaos in my home is to imagine standing in the middle of a large chicken coup with a bucket full of feed. These guys are like vultures after fresh road kill or a group of ants stumbling upon a family picnic. I swear they can smell when I have money on me and they drain all of it out of my pocket then ask whats for dinner while eating some kind of sweet treat in their mouth. It is like 8 soap operas playing at the same time on the same channel. Get the picture yet??? The picture below sums it all up...

Have a great night and keep all of them in your prayers because oh forget it...just pray for me and Jason at this point. What were we thinking????

Love..it is blind to the real situation sometimes.

I wouldn't change it because think of all the spoiling I will get to do when they have kids..hehehe..Grandma's got lots of candy and sugar before you have to go home and here is an airsoft gun with 5000 pellets to go with it, be sure to shoot them in Mommy and Daddy's house they will love it when you do this. Oh the plans I have for my Grandkids...

Texas Egg Hunt Elements 2

Here is the second set of elements for the Texas Egg Hunt. And just think you have 1 set of elements, 2 sets of papers, and all the alphas left to go on the kit.

Download here

Have fun with them and knock the dust off those memories.

With this being Race Day in our home, I decided to work on some NASCAR Layouts. The boys and the hubby really liked the outcome of all my work today.

Since I am not a Jeff Gordon Fan, I decided to work on elements and paper for my driver, Tony Stewart. I hate that he did not win today, but he was so close. I worked on the pic from last years race in April and still have the Cup series to work on, so more layouts to come. This was fun today playing with all the pics and building my personal Nascar file. I think I am going to work on a Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay and Dallas Cowboys kits next because we have alot of football fans in the house also.

Have a Good Night and talk to you tomorrow. It is back to work and lots of catching up with Kim since I have been out sick for the better half of last week.

Hybrid Scrapping

Debbie came through on confirming the hybrid technic...it is what I thought. If you scrap your page or your card, you print it off and add paper elements to it. Here is a great link she sent me that goes into detail on how this is done.

http://www.primahybrid.com/forums/showthread.php?t=770

Here is a great link for cards, I visit her often to see what she has been creating.

Great work on the cards.

Texas Egg Hunt Papers #1

You should have the first set of elements from yesterday and now here is the first set of papers. Some are pretty busy but lets see what you can come up with for them. Please do not forget to leave a comment, they are appreciated and nice to see. Those that have left me comments here and on 4shared, I love hearing from you and glad to see everyone really enjoyed the Hot Pink Dreams Kit.

Download here

Well I am off to go grocery shopping, you knowI am feeding a tribe now days. And I have to work on my Easter Cards since Easter moved up on me this year. By the way, is anybody doing hybrid digital out there? I am interested in this and would like to find out what exactly the technic is for this. It sounds like to me you print off digital and add paper elements to the digital but I could be wrong. Let me know if anyone out there can explain this to me.

Thanks and Happy Saturday,

Michelle

Kim (Starscraps) did a LO with Hot Pink Dreams

Wow what a great job on the LO. Thanks Kim for sharing your LO with me.

Not a dull moment in my house...

Well so much for the quite weekend I had all planned out. My hubby came home late last night and I now have a full house. The boys are growing up so fast, it is hard to believe that they were all 3, 6, and 9 when Jason and I met. His boys just keep growing like weeds every time I see them. Last night, I was working on designing my kit for boys when I heard a loud noise in the house. I was all alone, so I grabbed the first thing I could...a airsoft gun, you know the thing that had me cleaning all day yesterday. So I walk down the hallway thinking maybe it was one of the cats or the dog but they were all in my room. So now there is a stranger in the house. I followed the noise to a closet under the stairs, I look in and saw nothing but heard more moving. Once Jason came home, we began moving everything out of the closet. Everyone thought I was crazy because we couldn't find the source of the noise. I went back to the computer and all the sudden I hear screaming from the other end of the house. They found my prowler, it was a stray tom cat, and how did he get in the closet under the stairs. I have never seen a more pissed off cat, he took off running and climbed several of the windows before he ran back into the closet. So here we go again with the blanket and gloves trying to wrap up the mean cat. This cat has made the most awful smell in that closet..I was ready to boil him because of the mess he had made and wasn't even one of my cats. We finally got him wrapped up and outside but now what do I do will all the stuff that he messed up. And again, how the heck did he get in there. Looks like he has been there for a couple of days. Darn Cat.

Texas Egg Hunt Element Set 1

Well here it is, an old fashion Texas Egg Hunt. I thought I was way ahead of schedule when I made the kit last week, I am so out of touch with time that I did not realize that Easter is next weekend. That's okay we still have enough time to get all this kit before then. There are 3 downloads of elements and 3 for paper and then ending with the alphas. Some of the elements are copied in the file due to I am offering them in different colors. Once you get started on these kits it is hard to stop making items for the kit, guess I went crazy with it.

Download here

Here is the LO I did with the Hoppy Easter kit from Starscraps, be sure to go get her kit..she did an awesome job on it. Starscraps

Easter 2000, Denver was such a little guy and Devin was so lovable...sure miss those days.

I am feeling better, only because I had to get up and clean up around here. Man, what damage can be made with me in bed for 2 days. I guess I just needed to get out bed and move around or it was all the cleaning fumes that cleared my head up. I think I have all the airsoft pellets sucked up but who knows because I found them under my own bed..how did they get them under there??? I am sure I really don't want to know.

Take care and leave comments for me thanks,

Michelle

The Ex Got One on Me....

You know how you buy gifts for kids that will annoy the parents. Well the ex got me this time, and its Friday and don't think he won't hear about it. Who in their right mind would give my boys airsoft guns?? Well the Ex did and sent them home 2 weeks back with a mason jar full of these little annoying balls. Not only have they shot each other with them but where shooting themselves inside the house. My floors have this neon orange glow to them because there are so many of them. I found them in the top of the stove, the sink, in the dog bowl (sure the dog will appreciate that later) The only entertainment that these things have brought me is when you throw one across the tiled floor the cats go nuts..hours of cheap entertainment for me. I guess I should be thankful that he didn't send them home with paintball guns...hey wait a minute, now there's an idea...next visit with Dad, I am sending them fully loaded with paintballs and guns. Good luck to them with that mess. I finally pulled out the shop vac to suck all these little annoying balls up with and when I say hundreds of them, I am serious, there are hundreds of them around the house. See what I get when I am sick. The boys may come home to find Mom in camo in the house, playing sniper with the airsoft gun because this is just insane at how many there are and where I am finding them. Wish them luck on dodging Mom's accurate aim. Thank God for Weapon training in the Navy, I can handle this assignment. Bet they won't find it fun anymore...NO MOM, I am not really going to shoot the boys with the airsoft gun, but man this is out of control.

Hot Pink Dreams Alpha Set of 2

Well here are the alphas for Hot Pink Dreams. All should have the 4 sets of paper, 2 set of elements, and now the two sets of alphas. If you are missing any section of the kit, I have a freebie label where the entire kit can be found. Have fun with the kit and leave a comment or email me a Layout for me to post.

Thanks Bunches,
Michelle (Still in Bed sick...Aurgh)

Well just think this is the last paper kit for Hot Pink Dreams and tomorrow you will have the complete kit. I will be posting the Alphas tomorrow and then we can begin with the Easter Kit.

Download Papers here

I have been home sick today and tomorrow is not looking good either. I hope I am wrong about this but I have gremlin's in my head with jackhammers and my throat is almost swollen shut or at least that is what it feels like. I did get some peace and quite today with everyone at school and the hubby at work, hey I will take peace and quite anyway I can get it, even if it means I am sick. I hope to be over this before Spring Break starts because I think the hubby is planning a fishing trip(camping) with the boys. I wonder if he wants me to go?? I sure could take advantage of being at home alone..hmm. I know I will have the house to myself this weekend, YEAH ME, because the hubby is going to Kansas and all my boys will be at their Dad's. You bet I will be in my sweats in front of a computer working on PSE. Ok, maybe I will think about cleaning my house too.

Be sure to go to Kim's Blog to grab her Easter Kit. Click here for "Hoppy Easter", she out did herself again with this kit. I have some old pictures from Easter that I will be doing my LO's with her kit.

Happy Wednesday,

Michelle

Ok, I originally posted this early due to I was not feeling well at work (still don't, remember the ill kid, yeah, guilty) but then Kim calls me and tells me I have to go check out a few blogs, so here I am. I am laying here in bed with my laptop, listening to the boys trying to kill each other, and a husband that keeps asking me where is this and where is that...URGH. I just wanted to go to bed. Then my curiosity was killing me so I had to search through some blogs and you have to go visit Kitty's blog, I was laughing like a school girl. I can so relate to her and love the pirate question on her complete profile...great stuff here and she has freebies too.



Thanks to all,

What a Monday this was at work...Kim played hookie and I actually had to work hard today..sniff, sniff. And throw the time change and a ill kid in the middle of the night, this made for a long day. That's okay I am going to take a couple of days of vacation next week to be at home with the boys for spring break and I plan to play alot with PSE. I hope all are enjoying the kit and please post a comment or please share layouts with me if you use the kit. I did put together a LO of me a couple of years back and my next layout will be with Kim's "This Kids For You" Go Get it here.

Here is a LO with StarsScraps "This Kids For You" Kit....

Hot Pink Dreams Paper Pack 2

Here is the third installment of the Hot Pink Dreams. I hope everyone is having as much fun with the kit as I am. I spent most of yesterday working on the finishing touches of the Easter Kit coming out after this kit and uploaded all of the Hot Pink Dreams for this week. My friend Kim put together some really well done butterfly papers go see at StarsScraps . I was also thinking about my alphas yesterday and thought about the days before I had PSE and decided that if you have a file that you can not use because it isn't broke out then send me an email with the file and I will be happy to break them out for you, so you can use them. I would want to use some alphas that I had but never could because I didn't have PSE that would allow me to lasso the image for my personal use. I will be more than happy to help you out. My email is txmsjoshua@aol.com I will get the files back to you as soon as I can. Please leave me some comments so I know what you think of this kit and please share any layouts that you may put together and I will be happy to post them if you like.

"Hot Pink Dreams" Element Pak 1

I finally crashed yesterday. I had been up late several nights and my energy level came up empty. I was going to post this last night but decided to do it this morning. I had plans to sleep in but I have two early birds in my house that surprised me at 7am with breakfast in bed. Got to love them but sleeping in with these guys just is not an option. I ate breakfast and hit the floor running. I am already getting the entire kit ready for posting so I can have some more time for working on my kits. I am also working on my Easter cards to send out, I figured I would get a jump start on Easter since my Christmas Card venture was started too late. Speaking of Easter, once I post all of the Hot Pink Dreams Kit, I will be posting an Easter Kit next, so look out my fellow egg hunters. I am so excited to see my first paper pack listed on the Digi Free Blog...Yeah Me!!! Well I am off to finish up the files for this weeks downloads. Happy Saturday.

Take Care,
