I love design. In fact, I even put up another blog ages ago just to compile all the design finds I discover on the Internet. Unfortunately, I rarely get to update it because of a million and one things. Anyway, I figured now is a good time to refresh my design cravings with these cute and absolutely free printable Save the Date cards: (click on the images to go to the download page)

Here’s one from Merriment Design – Inspired by the book  The Giving Tree

From The Pretty Blog – handy bookmarks

From Ruffled – Envelope and Card – cute!

From the Wedding Chicks – I love ampersands

From Minted – This one is not free but absolutely a fave!!!  :)

Craving-> fixed! Don’t forget to leave a little love if you do download. Enjoy!

August 4, 2:30 am….

I still remember this day…three years ago. I’ve been going back and forth on this post…typing and deleting…typing and deleting again and again… and again. There are no words that can truly convey how much I miss you… It’s taking me forever just to finish this post…I  think I’ll just start another one later and not clutter this one with a lot of talk. This one is just for you.

I love you daddy…

and i miss you

… so much.

HOLA!

I’m back!!! After a month or so of being away from my bloggie, it’s back to regular programming. I didn’t realize how long it’s been until I read that about the shops prepping up for iNSD and Mother’s Day.

I’m so excited! Lookie lookie —> Check out the front page of the latest issue of The Daily Scrapper – Issue 14 – woot woot! It’s ds on the front cover of my article. (caution: there are a few typos unedited so please bear with us a little bit)

TDS Issue 14 is filled with school and back to school stuff. What’s more I just have to have this issue’s freebie download – a HUGE Noah’s Ark Kit from the Faith Sisters exclusive for TDS Readers. DD and DS just finished their Noah’s Ark ballet recital this summer and this is just perfect for my pictures. Yey! I’m a happy camper! (better than an  affordable health insurance deal? of course! ) what was I thinking? LOL

LO SHARE: Here’s one of the layouts I made for this issue featuring Crafty Madness by Cinnamon Designs available at After Five Designs.

(my dd and some of her artwork I scanned)

So grab a cuppa joe or whatever cup you want and read up on the latest TDS issue. Don’t forget to click the TDS Studio as well to check out the featured designers and the Scrapper’s World Expo for great bargains and deals all over the digiscrapping community.

Have a wonderful day, folks!

It’s my son’s birthday next week so I made a simple little desktop freebie to give away for his birthday. Feel free to snag it if you like it. Btw, it’s 1024×768.

I’ve been sorta making my own little tradition to celebrate my dad (he went home to the Lord almost a year ago) every chance I get. He was a generous man and gave without expecting anything in return. So I’d like to continue that generous spirit he imparted to me and give what I can every occasion that reminds me of him. I still miss him so much and think of him everyday. I do know that I can take this pain and turn it into something good to bless someone else.

So here’s an early Father’s Day gift from me to you to celebrate and honor all the dads out there. (My freebies are forever free for you to enjoy no strings attached. Just enjoy!) Happy Father’s Day y’all!

Endless Summer QP freebie

It’s a frenzy out there in the scrapping world, digi/trad/hybrid! Quickpages, papers, silk flowers, realistic stuff and lots and lots of fab elements and alphas galore. My poor hard drive . So if you’re freebie hunting out there go check out the DST thread on NSD freebies and have a blast this (Inter)National Scrapbooking Day. Don’t forget my little freebie down below. Have fun y’all! 

It’s been a while since my last little freebie and since its NSD all over the scrapping world, I thought I might join in the fun and give away a little something as well. It’s my first attempt at a template so be kind. I did a scraplift of a layout by Diane called Tea Party and added a little twist to it. Then I turned it into a template to share with you all.

So here’s my layout “Peek A Who?” and then you’ll find the link a little further down to the freebie.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day everyone!
