Penguin Ornament Instructions FREEBIE

Christmas has come and gone yet again. Of course this year we were snowed in, but that's okay. I wanted to share the instructions for a craft project I did with my daughter and my Girl Scout Troop. Sammi loved her penguin so much that she colored him with a black fabric marker....what more can I say?

You can download the instructions in PDF form at here.

Masquerade Freebie!

Hi all, I had an evening planned and it fell through. Oh well, at least I had some time to be creative! I made a set of 12 masks. These masks are a throw-back to my teenage years when I collected masks and even designed a few. I hope you like them. The shadows are for display only.

Oops! Penguin Magic Freebie (take 2)

I am so sorry about this! I uploaded the picture for the Penguin Magic freebie but I forgot to post the download link. Thank you to Tristan for catching my mistake! Here is the preview again:

Penguin Magic Freebie!

Hi all, I got so much done yesterday, I even managed to get another freebie ready for posting today. This one is called Penguin Magic. I have been experimenting with making my own brushes and I used my own snowflake, grunge and penguin brushes to make this fun set. It includes: 9 12x12 300dpi papers, 2 8x10 photo overlays and 1 8x10 photo mask.

Penguins are a favorite in our house. Sis collects them, we love the Penguins of Madagascar and we even made penguin ornaments for our friends for Christmas (I'll post pictures and instructions for this fun project later.) Please enjoy them and hope you are having a great winter!

Unexpected Birthday Presents!

Okay, I just quick want to tell you that there are some really cool companies out there. I got an e-mail this morning for Disney Movie Rewards, they gave me a free Blue-Ray movie! I did have to pay $2.99s/h but that isn't bad at all. I've been using their movie rewards program since it started 3 years ago. Quite often I save up codes to redeem them for Christmas presents, but they have the cutest rewards and members don't usually have to pay shipping on those! Then I got another e-mail from GoDigitalScrapbooking with a coupon code for a free download from their Daily Download Rewind. I am a member of their site because I use their freebie forum. How generous and cool is that??

Oh, and Disney Movie Rewards has a really cool advent calendar right now. You can get free downloads like a Mickey Mouse Snowglobe for your desktop and a fireplace screensaver. It's free so it's definately worth checking out!

It's beginning to feel like Pop Culture! Christmas FREEBIE!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Here in South Dakota it is cold, like -7F when we went to the grocery store this morning! But it is my birthday and I wanted to share a present with you! I made these cute little badges (ornaments) for a Christmas poster at work. They are some of my favorite pop culture Christmas images. Please enjoy them!

Stickers 2 Freebie!

Hi everyone, I thought I'd go ahead and put out a second set of stickers, as promised. I hope to make more but not sure if it will be right away. This set includes 26 stickers (some have been shrunken for the preview) and they were made with The Kids, a font available at dafont.com. You can download the set here.


In other news, I just found some great new sites! Check out The Vintage Moth (click on the icon to the right), and I've added some new sites to my freebie listings.

Freebie! Stickers anyone?

I made these "stickers' using a great dingbat font called The Kids that I found on dafont.com. This set includes 24 stickers and is just the first set in a series, so keep checking back for more sticker fun! Please click here to download.

2 CU Photo Mask Freebies

You can download the masks here.

I created a couple of free photo masks. I feel so bad I haven't put up a freebie in ages. I have been productive in other areas though. I am the leader of my daughter's Daisy Troop for Girl Scouts. You can check out the troop blog here.

I have also been exploring the artistic side of my life by creating a gallery at deviantart.com. Drop by and check out my stuff. Here is my gallery's link.

Progress?

I have a question: why does life have to be so chaotic? I mean take my day yesterday for an example. We have to be up by 7:30 to get Sis off to school by 8:15. Then I have to come home, finish getting myself ready for work, get Lola ready for daycare and clean up the kitchen (since I was too tired to do it the night before.) Then off to work at 9:30 to 1. I knew I had a doctor's appointment so I ate leftover soup at the library before heading out to run errands. That included returning stuff to a store and going to the mall to buy shoes for a wedding this weekend. Then I went to the clinic only to find out that my appointment wasn't yesterday it was today. So they tell me I can come back at 4. So I picked the girls up from daycare and we came home for an hour and half before going back to the clinic. I couldn't find anyone to watch them, so they went with me. It is so hard to explain things to the doctor when you are also asking a 3 year old to calm down and wait her turn. Then from there we had to go back to the library to meet with the girl scout troop Sis is in, oh and I've volunteered to be a co-leader for. THEN we have to go to the salon so I can get a haircut. The kids were being so bad, finally my stylist talked to them and they sat right down and behaved for her. GRRR! Finally it was time to come home, and my hubby had made a yummy supper. How great, except that he caught me plucking hairs on my chin and told me to stop (for the 1 millionth time...) and I snapped at him. I have extra hair growth as a side effect of taking fertility drugs to have Sis. I tried to explain that for whatever reason that is a calming or theraputic thing for me and he looked at me like I was a looney. So, deep breath. I am going to talk to him tonight and make him a deal. I'll stop plucking if I can finally start electrolysis. He doesn't understand that I can't just let those long red hairs go -- I will not be the woman with whiskers!!! Oh, and the doctor says I have to lose about 35 more pounds. *sigh*

3 Column Blogger Template

I finally found a three column blogger template that I like and that I can customize with my own header -- as I did with the two column minima. I found the following site:

If you have problems with the download links, right click and choose "save target as", it worked for me!

Banned Books

Okay, I've been thinking a lot about banned books since tomorrow is the first day of Banned Books week. I had a patron ask my last night why we even carry books at the library that have been banned or even challenged. The point is that no one should have the right to tell another person what they can or can't read. I'll bet if you checked the ALA's Banned Book List you'd find at least one book that you've read and enjoyed. Now imagine what your life would be like if you had to live in a country where someone could say to you, "You can't read that because it's too racey or has foul language or is too religious." It would suck, royally. I'll admit that I haven't read enough of the books on this list, but the ones I have read are such good books that I'm thankful to live in America. I'm not usually outwardly patriotic, but the first amendment is definately one of the best things our constitution has to offer. Read a banned book today, or recommend one to someone. Remember, censorship causes blindness; celebrate the freedom to read!

Celebrate the freedom to read! Freebie!

I am working on a new display for the library. Starting Saturday, September 26th is Banned Books week. We are encouraging everyone to celebrate their freedoms, and one of the best ways is to read a book someone else wanted to censor. Here are some badges I made to spread the word. I thought they might be fun to use on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter, but post them or use them however you like!

Busy busy, all the time...

I'm sure every last one of you can understand, I feel like I'm busy all the time! I have been making great progress with my digital scrapping projects. They MUST be done by Christmas for gifts as well as to show to the family, we see each other 2 times a year so the books help them see my kids grow. I haven't done any traditional scrapping since June, but Saturday is a scrapping retreat at the library (hosted by my good buddy Raynette) and I'm going to take a page in to do there. I think I'll also share my books so people can steal ideas if they want. I was able to make a great layout set for my Family History display, but Banned Books Week starts on Saturday, so I need a new set of layouts by Friday.
Of course I still have to do all my work here around the house and all my other little distractions. I managed to get a Monday off, so tonight I get to go to MOPs with my bestie, Becke. Hopefully I can manage to go once a month. She also convinced me to try that Lil Farm thing on FB, so I'm working on that (and other silly apps) at least once a day. And not to mention the books I need to read! I have a list a foot long hanging in my locker at work. I should have more time to read during the fall/winter, right?
Will I ever have a moment where I have nothing to do??

Another LOTD!

Not too brag or anything, I just wanted to gush about how nice it is to have so many people compliment my work. I've remade this page 3 or 4 times trying to get it right. This time I felt that I did and it seems my fellow scrappers agree. This makes my day.

Potty Training Freebie!

I am excited to say that we are officially potty trained at our house! What was my trick you ask? Well, Lola loves, Loves, LOVES "The Little Mermaid" and one day I found some Ariel panties in her size. She wanted to wear them and I said, "not until you are potty trained." She looked at me and said, (with a little head snap that screamed TEENAGE ATTITUDE) "I potty trained, Mama!" took off her diaper, used the potty and put her new panties on. Crazy girl.
To be honest it wasn't an instant success. She has had her share of wet accidents and for some reason there was a whole week there where she pooped her pants at least once a day....*sigh*
But, the potty training freebie I promised MONTHS ago is finally here! I created a boy set (King of the Potty) and a girl set (Potty Princess) for you. These little sets include a certificate, a foil seal and a frame/seal combo. The certificate is simple, it can be printed and used in a traditional scrapbook page or inserted into a digital page. The example is from Lola's scrapbook, since she's officially diaper free! And in even better news, Lola's influence helped her best buddy (my bestie's daughter) finish potty training too. Yay! I added the shadows for example only.

Gotta make better choices!

Okay, as some of you know, I've been on a weight loss program since the first part of July. In the month of July I lost 14.5 pounds. That's great but this month I've only lost about 3. I'm finally able to exercise more now that I'm back on my 14 hour a week schedule at work, so I feel I should eat more than I did when I wasn't able to exercise on a regular basis. In July I was eating 1000 calories a day. I know from past nutrition classes that a woman who is exercising on a regular basis -- i.e. three 30 minute sessions a week -- should eat at least 1200 to 1400 calories a day. I've been trying to do that. I'd like to say that the tiny increase in calories is why I'm not losing weight, but the truth is, I've been lazy. It's too easy to splurge from time to time. Last night my hubby grilled burgers, brats and low-fat turkey hot dogs. I chose to eat a pineapple brat, tater tots AND a hot dog. I'm just asking for a plattue in my weight loss.
So anyway, I'm gonna try to do better. That means writing my calories down for the day. During July I was religious about it and I've skipped writing down most of August. I also need to remember that I am making progress. I'm back into my favorite pairs of jeans, I went from the 3rd hole on my belt to the 1st, I went from XL shirts to L, and on the Wii my weight went from obese to overweight. If I can find my tape measure I'll check and see if I've lost any inches. Maybe I'll post a chart showing my progress....thanks for all the support!

Back to School Freebie!

As promised, here is the Back to School freebie. This set includes 6 glitter "stickers" and 4 word art quotes. They include: "Back to School", "My First Day of School", "To teach is to learn twice." and "The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book." Please enjoy them!

The first day of school for my baby!

Well, today was the first day of school for Sis. She wasn't overly excited or anxious, but I had butterflies in my stomach when I woke up. I can't believe she's old enough for school! She's going to do great. We kind of know a few kids in her class from Sunday School, so I'm sure she'll make friends very quickly. I'd better go for now, but I think I might make some kind of freebie to celebrate this big day in our lives...so see you in the next post, hopefully later today!

Guess what I got!

I know I haven't been doing a whole lot of postings lately. SORRY! Anyway, I am excited to announce that I bought a new computer last night! It's a desktop, so I have a better screen and more power. Power to do all my fun graphics. I hope to have a new freebie for you soon. I am still copying all my files but once that is done I should be able to knock out a freebie or two. I haven't made any alphas in a while, so maybe one of those. I don't know, I will see what this brain comes up with!

AND I'm so excited because I finally figured out how to use Adobe Plugins with my photo editor! So we'll see where that takes me! Wish me luck and thanks so much for following!

Attic Treasures Add-On

Okay, let's try this again. I apologize for the whole password thing. The full Attic Treasures Kit in the So Digital Shop requires a password, but the Add-On should not. Here is the preview again:


Please click here to download.

Attic Treasures has finally arrived in the Shop!! Plus a freebie for you!

Here's the Add-On Kit

Download the Add-On kit here.

As you can see, Attic Treasures is a huge kit full of fabulously fun elements and papers! I really had fun making this set and it was so amazing how many people gave me little odds and ends to use in the kit. The places they came from were just too fun. For example, 3 pieces of the ephemera were in old books donated to our library. The pressed flowers were inside the pages of a very old book I bought for $.75 at a local thrift shop. The matchbooks were in a basement, the Easter postcards behind my best friend's walls. I hope you enjoy the treasures I've put in the FREE add-on kit. It has 3 12x12 papers, and 6 elements. Please drop by the So Digital Shop and buy the big kit!

It's been forever!

Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been super busy with lots of fun projects. While on vacation, I found some great items to use in my Attic Treasures Kit -- soon to be on sale in the So Digital Shop. I want to be sure and give a special thanks to Mills for the vintage matchbooks she found in her basement, to Julie for the very old and gorgeous postcards, to my Dad for the antique photo frames and of course to my Mom for the great vintage jewelry she got for my projects.

When we got home from vacation we rushed over to my very very good friend Becke's wedding. I was her photographer. Thanks to her for believing I could do it! Anyway, here are the first few pages of her custom scrapbook.

Wow, I don't know what to say...

I'm speechless. I logged in to Deco-Pages just to see what was new and I found out that I got LOTD (Layout of the Day) for my Butterfly page. Thanks so much to Aubrey'sMom, who designed the kit I used to make it. I am used to compliments from friends but for me this feels like a pretty big deal. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to have your ego stroked I guess.

It's been too long without a FREEBIE!!!

I am so sorry it has been so long since I posted anything, let alone scrapbooking stuff. Summer is turning out to be a busy time for me. Sis is going to a summer program at her preschool, I am working about double the hours at the library, trying to be a CT artist for Aubrey'sMom, getting display posters done and of course there is all the running around a mom has to do normally.

I am working on a new kit for my store called Attic Treasures and that is proving to be time consuming. I really think you'll find it worth buying though. I'll be sure to make an Add-On freebie for it to whet your appetite.

Anyway, on to the fun stuff. I just finished my camping displays for work. I made some fun word art for it, here they are. They are large .png files, please enjoy! Click on the previews to download from 4share.

Treasure hunting!

The girls and I did a little treasure hunting today at the thrift store....my favorite! I picked up a ton of good stuff for next to nothing! I think my best find today was a very old book titled Family Home Library. It was falling apart but I couldn't resist it for $1. Anyway, I will hopefully be making some freebie papers from the amazing illustrations in it, but I've already used part of it in a project for myself. I drilled a hole in the cover and made a new clock for my kitchen. It's cool, even if my husband says he can't see the black hands on the black leather. Maybe I'll take them off and use a file to distress them, I'm sure there's silver under the black paint. I made a second piece to hang on the wall and they both look good. I like sets of 3, but my third attempt was just ugly. So I'm trying to keep my mind open to creative flashes...I'll post pictures soon.

Horse Freebie

Here is a fun little freebie with a horse theme. Lola LOVES yee-haws, that's really what she calls them-and she inspired me to make this little set. There is one 12x12 paper, 1 overlay and 7 glitter "stickers". Enjoy them!

Love is everywhere!

Sis, Lola and I found this special tree at a park at the beginning of summer. I couldn't resist taking a picture. The love-knot is so beautiful. I don't know, maybe I'm weird but it makes me think that God's love is everywhere around us...

Dead Men Tell No Tales! FREEBIE

I just finished working on my newest library posters. This theme is pirates. I made the posters and ended up having to extract elements to make them look cool. On display they are "Known Pirates" (8.5x14), "Dead Men Tell No Tales" (11x17) and "Fictional Pirates" (8.5x14). Here is a set of 11 PNGs that might be fun for you all to use. Enjoy, but remember, dead men tell no tales...

Pretty Little Bows Freebie

Hi everyone! As promised, here is the first freebie to come from cleaning off my hard drive. I LOVE these little bows and I know you will too!

Click the preview or click here.

Gotta do some cleaning!

Okay, I have folders and folders of ideas for digital scrapbooking and they are all in one form of completion or other....so here's my goal for June and July. I will work a little each day to clear out folders, and as I do I will post freebies for everyone to enjoy. So much needs extracted....

Wish me luck!

Damask Fun Freebie!

Well, I was inspired by a freebie I picked up the other day featuring papers using damask patterns. I decided to give it a try -- and try out the pattern making part of Serif software at the same time. Here are some fun papers in the purple/pink family that were fun to make and experiment with. There are 10 in the set, although the preview doesn't show them all. Please enjoy! Click the preview below to download!

And now for number two!

Here is the tree I made for Sis' album. I decided not to mirror the tree painting, so it gave it an off-center look, but I think I like it. Nothing wrong with doing things differently from time to time. I am planning to make a third layout for myself as well. I feel like I'm getting the hang of this.

Here are the best tips I can give for making a tree like this:

1. Decide how many generations you want to show.

2. Layout 1 side of the "tree" with all the generations you want and the connectors, then you can copy/paste it onto the other side & mirror it.

3. Go back and put in shadows if desired, if you do this before you copy/paste/mirror, you will have shadows going two different ways.

I will try to create a tree template -- or would it be a quick page?? -- to post for free. I'll get it uploaded soon, promise!

The First Family Tree is done!

This is the tree I designed for Lola. She's a princess, so I thought she deserved a pretty pink tree with cherry blossoms. I think it turned out okay. I am working right now on a layout for Sis and when I was copying names into Lola's tree, I realized the tree I wrote out for myself is messed up. I considered buying another 2 page set like I did last time, but I think I'll just make one on the computer. It gives me more freedom, although it is labor intensive.

I finally got my scrapbooking supplies in my office (or should I call it my studio?) organized. I don't have shelves to put all my boxes on, but I think it'll work for now. I even sorted all my metal jewelry pieces and odds and ends. I have some cool stuff, it's just a matter of knowing where it is when I need it.

I managed to get my big family page done as far as I can. My dearest friend sent me some dried flowers to use and I added the tiny playing cards I tea-stained. It's in the book and looks finished, but if my father-in-law ever finds his dad's tackle, I have places it can be added. I need to figure out a way to explain the significance of each item on the page, but there isn't room on the page itself....maybe some kind of pull card on the back??

New Services for Sale at the So Digital Shop!

Well, I've finally gotten around to adding a new service to the So Digital Shop. The new service is custom announcements. A dear friend of mine asked me to make her daughter's graduation announcements and we had a lot of fun throwing around ideas and trying things out. The reviews have been good, she tells me.

Here is my favorite layout, although the graduate chose to go with the black multi-picture layout, check them out at the shop!

Cavities??

Yesterday was so upsetting. I took Sis and Lola to the dentist for their annual cleanings. Sis went first and the hygenist told me she has 4 cavities! It makes me feel like such a cruddy mom. I am not the biggest enforcer of brushing at bedtime and poor Sis has to pay the price. She has to go in 4 seperate times to have them filled. The worst one is so bad the dentist has to remove part of the nerve in the tooth, fill the cavity and then cap the whole tooth with stainless steel. Lola's teeth are okay so far, but all our bad habits have to stop here.

Thank goodness for ways to make brushing fun. We bought some of that stuff that turns the plaque on their teeth blue, that's a big hit and so is the bubblegum flavored floss. I just wish I had enforced good habits from the beginning.

If anything good has come out of this, maybe I'll put together a free set about the tooth fairy or cavity-monsters....we'll have to see.

Rainbow Dreams Paper Freebie

Okay, I'm sorry I didn't get this done on Friday. I can clearly remember uploading the files to 4share on Thursday night and thinking, I'll post the blog tomorrow....

This is a two part download, folder 1 and folder 2.

The garage sale was a huge success though! We sold most of the big stuff on Friday and then did pretty well on Saturday. We made enough for Sis and Lola to each get a special toy and my share was enough to get a new digital camera!!! It is a 12 mega pixel with 5x zoom. I wanted more zoom, but for my price range, this is perfect. I am excited because I am going to start taking pictures to make some texture overlays. My first texture inspiration came last night when Lola was in the tub. I took pictures of the bubbles on the water, I wonder what it will look like as an overlay...I guess you'll know soon enough when I post a set of overlays.

Anyway, I hope it is warm and springy wherever you are!

Working hard to be healthy...

Yes, it's true, I'm really working at being healthy. Everyone knows I LOVE LOVE LOVE food, and that sometimes I don't have an "off-switch" when it comes to eating. So I'm working hard at making healthy choices -- dried fruit instead of crackers or sweets -- and portion control -- NO SECONDS!!! I also decided to try that new Coke Zero, since I love Coke and need the caffeine once in awhile but not the calories. It isn't bad, I mean I know it isn't the real thing, but it isn't bad.

When I told my hubby about this new committment to taking care of myself he was on board. We went to the store and bought a new Wii fitness program. This one is Jillian Michaels, the super tough trainer from The Biggest Loser. It's tough, but I've done 30 minutes two days in a row. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it is. I even got up at 6am today, that's a big deal to me when I feel like I don't get enough sleep as it is. Of course my calves, thighs and butt are killing me!!! Maybe I should have him take a picture of me now so I'll have something to compare against when I get to my target weight....I could do a cool scrapbook layout...hmmm.

Thanks for all the support I've gotten so far and for all the support I know everyone will give me when things get tough to stick with. I'll try to post some free papers on Friday, so keep watching!

Time to take care of myself.

Okay, so I've been lazy about my physical health for about 9 months now. I've got to do something. I'm constantly exhausted and I ache and of course I've gained some weight. I don't want to admit it, but I need to excersize every day. So how to go about this??

Well I've had patrons at the library tell me that it works really well to listen to books on CD while they use the treadmill. I can do this while I use my elliptical. I'll have to committ to getting up at 6am each day, but if I'm listening to a good book I'd otherwise never have time to read, maybe it will work.

I should also be careful of how I eat. Mills has taught me that cutting down on my portions can be a big help. I'll do that, and I'll eat things like carrots for snacks. I also need to be careful with fatty fast foods. I can't afford to buy Alli anymore so I can't rely on it anymore.

*sigh* This is going to be tough, but I'm going to do my best. Wish me luck!

More love for moms! Freebie!

Okay, here is the wordart I promised. I have included 5 wordarts and a 12x12 overlay. The overlay is "mother" in many different languages. I hope to do something similar for father's day next month.

Click on the "packaged" preview to download, or click here.

Please enjoy them and remember all the moms in your life. I mentioned my mom, mother-in-law, grandma and grandma-in-law in my last post but here are some other moms I've looked to for guidance and inspiration throughout my life:

My 2 older sisters

My best friend's mom Sue

My friend Paula

My friend Raynette

My coworkers at the library

Happy Mothers Day!

Mother's Day Freebie

Okay, so instead of reading the new Charlaine Harris Dead and Gone, which I was the first to get at our library (and not because I work there), I decided to post the Mother's Day freebie I've been working on for a while now. I scanned the card with the trees and mother poem and built the set around it. The papers are 12x12 300dpi using colors in the card and the ribbons are 12" long. I even scanned my mother & child pendant for this set...so precious! Please enjoy and remember to tell your mom how much you love her!

Oh, and watch for another freebie in the next day or two of word art with quotes about mothers, I love my mom, my grandma, my mother-in-law and my grandma-in-law a whole bunch and it makes me happy to spread the love....oh and I'm pretty sure those little girls of mine love me too.

Who's going treasure hunting? We're going treasure hunting!

I thought of a fun activity for the girls and I to share this summer. We call it treasure hunting. We look for anything that might be interesting while we are walking to the park or in the yard or out on walks. Today we found pieces of wood, pieces of rusted metal, pieces of plastic and feathers (they blew away before we got home.)

We decided to save them up over the summer and make a scrapbook page at the end of the year. As you may have guessed, I'm not really very rigid about the whole "acid-free" thing. I hope when it's done I can post a picture. It'll be really great with journalling about our treasure hunting adventures.

Home to Your Heart Freebie

I feel like spreading the love today so here is an overlay and a coordinating glitter heart. Enjoy them. The overlay is 12" high so it'll work for a full page layout. The quote reads: When you look back at your past, look tenderly and gently at all you have been through. Look with the eyes of your soul. See that each experience was necessary to bring you home to your heart.

Odds & Ends Freebie!

Hi all, I haven't posted a freebie in awhile, so here's a bunch of odds and ends from my scrapbooking desk. I scanned these items. They are just an odd mish-mash of things you might find useful, like the metal letters, coins and keys I used in the preview, but there are also straight pins, paper clips, paper items and mixed metal items. These are early attempts at extracting scanned items, I hope I got them cleaned up as well as possible...enjoy!

And here is a fabulous layout by my dear friend Trixie using elements from this set:
