Christmas Giggles Freebie! Huge set!

I am so proud of myself! I have been working hard for the last month to catch up on my scrapbooking. The girls' digital pages are current up to Christmas of 2012. I was bored with the Christmas elements I had in my stash, so I thought, why not make a Christmas set? This set is what I call Christmas Giggles. The color scheme isn't necessarily what you expect for Christmas, but that's what's going to make your pages really pop! This set includes 16 papers,5 tile alphas, scalloped edges for layering, mats, frames, buttons, brads and my very first folded paper edge. Like I said, HUGE! I hope you like it!

Would you like to show off your layouts created with my freebies? I'd love to see your work. I am looking for a Creative Team. Please leave a comment with your contact information (I won't post the comment).

Little Stamp Ornaments Freebie tonight.

I'm just on a freebie roll! I was working away on my traditional book today when INSPIRATION hit me. I am working on last year's Christmas layout. I decided to make a free form Christmas tree out of a green yarn stitched onto the page. Then I wanted some sort of ornaments. I was looking around at my collection of odds and ends and I came upon some old Christmas postage stamps. Now what to frame them out with?? I found some little tiny paper stars that I'd picked up on eBay for a 4th of July page. I used some ModPodge (best stuff ever!) to decoupage the stamps onto some white cardstock and then the white and red stars onto them as frames. The only drawback was that I had a hard time framing out the best parts of the stamps with the star's shape, like on the stamps with Mary and baby Jesus, it's hard to get both into the center of the star. They dried very quickly, so I cut them out and to dress them up I wrapped a little bit of decorative wire around them. I also used the wire to "hang" them from the tree on the paper. I wish the layout was complete, I can't share it with you until it is!

In celebration of this wonderful idea, I've created basically the same thing for you, except that I warped the stars a little when I wanted to get a little more of the picture into the frame, and I made them with glitter. Oh, and just because I love you all so much, I made 4 Love stamp ornaments. These are made with scans of actual stamps, some are American and some are foreign.

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!

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!
