Zoo Flamingos & QP freebie

Jen just came out with the cutest wordart for your trip to the zoo. My layout, however, is not your typical "zoo" look, but I gotta be honest - I love it. I used a kit called "Where the Heart Is" from Grandma's Templates. I know, kinda random to use as a zoo layout. But I'm a fan of earthy tones. So - enjoy the freebie, which obviously can be used for anything, and check out Jen's wordart HERE. Image linked.

Grace Kit, QP and a Template

I am so excited for Tracy, who is expecting her 3rd child, after adopting her first two. Such a miracle story. Anyhow, she named this kit "Grace" after her soon-to-be baby girl. I love it! Pink and brown are so cute together, and there are some fabulous papers and elements to play with here. Click the kit preview to head to her blog. Below is my layout followed by two freebies for you. The QTpie wordart is from Jen who has fabulous stuff on her site - check them out HERE.
Click the QP image below to grab this layout ... and, for the first time - I am also offering the template. I'm not sure that I will go into designing templates, but I thought I would see if there's an interest. So let me know what you think. And enjoy!

Desktop Freebie

I have seen several cute scrapped desktops out there - but have personally never put one on my computer ... until now - and I love it! Don't know if I can ever go back to just putting a plain ol' picture on. This was inspired by one of Christina Brown's Designs , made beautiful with a kit from Summer Driggs - Sweet Springtime. I am so happy every time I turn on my computer and see my cute little family smiling back at me - that I thought I would offer this as a freebie. Click the desktop preview below to download. And as always, Happy Scrapping!

Halcyon Kit & a QP freebie

This color scheme is so great to work with - Tracy just came out with another wonderful kit called Halcyon Days. Lucky for you - it's going to be free on her blog, BUT each piece is free only for one day so you don't want to miss any of it. Click the kit preview to head to her blog. Here's my layout along with a free QP for you.

Zippity Doo Dah Kit - Sherry Ferguson Designs

Baby of Mine kit and Freebies Galore

I just fell in love with this kit - Baby of Mine by Tracy and Nicole. It's a colab kit full of every yummy design you can think of for scrapbooking that little angel of yours. I love the colors they picked and the papers they designed to go with this kit are so varied and wonderful. I have two baby layouts (one girl and one boy) because my daughter wanted one for her after she saw her brother's. The other layout is more versatile for any occasion.

FREE QPs:

When I come across a fabulous kit, I just can't help myself... so here's 3 fabulously free QPs. I've removed the words and the little stroller so you can add your own embellishments to your liking. Click each image to snag them.

WORD ART:

Jen has some awesome word art, and with her permission you can get the altered WA that I used on my layouts. Click the image to download and click HERE to see more of Jen's creations (this one came from a bundle that is on sale right now, but I'm not sure for how long, hurry over). Birth Announcements:

I have always designed my own birth announcements for my kids and this kit is perfect for that. I went ahead and filled the boys announcement in so you can see where to put the text but the only text that will actually appear on the freebie is "announcing the birth of." Hope you enjoy these.

Boys Only Kit and Freebies

I'm always on the lookout for a cute boy kit. Tracy put together a darlinge kit - Boys Only. You can click the kit preview to go to her blog for more information and a few other freebies.

Boo to You Kit - Growing Pains Scrapped

Green Day QP

I ran across this cute QP by Sherri Tierney. You can click the picture above to go to her blog to get this. But when I opened it up to play around with it - I decided I wanted my openings to be bigger so my pictures didn't get lost in all the other stuff going on. I have redesigned this to fill a 12x12 more. All credit still goes to Sherri - as she came up with this great layout, I just did some editing. You can get my edited QP by clicking the image below. Hope you all have a great St. Patrick's Day.

Invite Freebie

My sister needed an invite for a church activity for girls - so I went to one of Tracy's kits "Girl Friends" and turned my layout into an invite.
