I feel like I haven't blogged anything important lately, but everything has been just so busy these past two weeks with the girls' swimming classes on top of everything else. By next week, with Carolina in school and swimming classes over, we should be able to get back to our regular schedules. I sure hope so, because I'm exhausted!

Anyway, here's the lower case alpha. Come back tomorrow and I'll post the numbers and punctuation.

Download HERE.

Since I had made the I Love Watermelon kit a while back, I thought I'd make an alpha to go with it. I'm going to be giving out the uppercase alpha today. Come back tomorrow for the lower case and on Tuesday, I'll post the numbers/punctuation.


You can download the uppercase alpha HERE.

Sorry, I meant to post this yesterday, but it was a hectic day. Anyway, HERE are the elements.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow and I'll have an alpha for you!

Now, I've got to run because I'm taking the kids to see their aunt and play in the pool!

I've been slacking lately, I know, but we've been in full summer swing, and the fact that it's fading fast has meant that I've abandoned the blog a bit. To make up for it, I'm going to be giving away some more freebies. The first one is a mini I made a while back called I Love Watermelon.


Download the papers HERE and come back tomorrow for the elements. I'll have an alpha for you the day after that.

Well, it's time for a new blog train! Here is the July installment of the Half-Baked Girls' Book of Me Blog Train.

Here's the preview!

I finished my 2nd week's entry to the contest. It's an All About Me kit, focusing on childhood. I'm really happy with how it came out. I made an alpha to go along with the kit and a sheet of journaling titles for the labels.


If you'd like it, you can download it all HERE!

I've also made 2 quick pages with Danimoy Designs' new kit, Dino-Mite. It's a fabulous kit for boys and it's on sale, so grab it now!


Here are the two QPs. You will get both, one with the title and one without.

I've been so busy this past week! I decided to enter another Designer contest, The Next Best Thing at Digital Scrap Ink. For my first kit, I created a great kid's kit, Old Macdonald Had a Farm.
It's a great FREE kit, so if you're interested, head on over to Digital Scrap Ink and download my kit HERE!

Well, it's the last download of Popsicle Dreams! Here is the Alpha! You should now have 4 separate downloads for the entire kit. Enjoy!

Before I give away the freebie, I just wanted to show you all a new kit, Put the Lime in the Coconut by Danimoy Designs. It's on sale now at Enchanted Studio Scraps, so be sure to go get it! (Image is linked.)


I love it! This is the first page I've made with the kit:

Well, no one can complain that there aren't enough freebies this week! Now, get ready for Popsicle Dreams! Over the next few days, I'll be giving out pieces of my latest kit. It includes 21 papers, 40 elements and 1 alpha. Each day I'll be giving out a different link, so be sure to check back. Here are the previews.

Also, I just wanted to share that I got LOTD at Enchanted Studio Scraps, using this gorgeous new kit, Inspiration, by Bucket of Butterflies Designs.

Hello, again! Yep, you're not going crazy, that's 2 blog trains back to back! Now that I finished the Brownie Baker's Designer Challenge, I joined the Half-Baked Girls for the June blog train. I have to tell you that this is a gorgeous kit! In honor of Father's Day, we made a kit just for Dads.

You are not going to want to miss out on this, so jump on board and travel from blog to blog collecting the freebie mini kit from each blog to make up a fantastic #1 Dad MEGA kit containing more than 40 papers and more than 60 elements! These mini kits will be available until June 7th 2009 after which they will be collected and sold at Brownie Scraps with all proceeds going to the ALS Association.

Here's my contribution. (DOWNLOAD EXPIRED)

Sorry, everyone. Apparently, I'm losing my mind and never posted the link to the freebie quick page. I fixed it in the original post, but just in case, here it is again.

It seems as if there are just never enough hours in the day. I keep meaning to post and update the blog and somehow, between CTing and designing, the days pass by. But tonight, I'm going to play catch-up as best as I can.

First, some exciting news--as of last week, I am now also on Danimoy Designs' creative team. I am so happy to be working with her and the other CTMs, and, of course, the added bonus is that she's exclusive to Enchanted Studio Scraps. Her kits are marvelous and I'm having an excellent time making layouts with her kits. Here are two of her latest kits and some layouts I've made with them (the kit images are linked):







This month, I've also been working with Bucket of Butterflies Designs at ESS. I've worked with two gorgeous kits, Spring is in the Air and Sweet Pea (kit images are linked).







And now, after looking through all that, comes the freebie. I made a QP for you today with my Family Ties kit. If you haven't grabbed the kit, it's free, so have fun with it. I hope you like your quick page--and I love reading comments, so please leave me one if you download! Thanks!

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I've been incredibly busy the past week playing around all the sites for NSD. I participated in so many speed scraps and challenges, shopping and chatting, and then had to get back to my CT work. You can tell I've been busy since I've done 22 layouts so far in the month of May!

Luckily, I had already finished my portion of the latest mini-kit--but more on that later.

I have a new mini-kit for you called Make a Wish. It's perfect for your birthday boy!


Here are the links--please don't forget to leave a comment and if you make a layout with this kit, I would love to see it! Thank you!

Okay, we're heading towards the final days before NSD weekend officially starts. For those of you who haven't been following the Enchanted Studio Scraps blog, our NSD Pixie Express Blog Train starts Friday, May 1 at 12:00 pm EST! We're giving away a complete Brag Book set created with a brand-new ESS Designer Collab Kit called Funky! It is fabulous and you'll love it, so don't forget to pass by, because the Pixie Express will be shutting down Saturday night, after which time the only way to get the Brag Book set will be to buy it at the ESS store.

I've also been working on a brand new kit by Kenna's Designs called Rainy Days Stormy Nights which you can get at Enchanted Studio Scraps. It's a beautiful kit, full of yummy papers and elements perfect for rainy spring days. I especially loved the raindrops!

Here's the page I made. How cute does Juan Joaquín look?:
