December Desktop Freebie

Whoohoo TGIF!
It's Giseli here today and I confess I'm curious about Thanksgiving. I don’t live in the states and where I live we don't celebrate it. Everyone celebrates it or it's kind a "religion" related celebration? Do you celebrate it only Thursday or during all weekend? How was yours? I bet you had tons of delicious food... turkey! YUMMY! Man, I'm jealous! Can't wait to have my body stuffed with good food until I can no longer move. I have to wait for Xmas to do this or start to celebrate Thanksgiving here! Decisions... decisions... LOL
And speaking about Xmas... Do you realize it's about less than month for Xmas? WOW! I only made my cards and some shopping. I still have TONS of things to do for our Xmas celebrations. What about you? Can I help you with one thing? I made 2 December desktops: one Xmas themed featuring "Heaven and Nature Sing" kit and "Feelin' Frosty" kit and the other Winter themed featuring "Happy Feet" (CUTE!) collab. between Krystal and Ziggle Designs.
I would love to share both with you:
Both are 1024 x 768 size

Hope you like them both!

Altered gift idea for kids!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

When I originally thought about what to post today, I thought I would post some Thanksgiving goodies or "I'm thankful for..." cards. But, then I figured the internet and digi-land would be FULL of those types of things, and MAN, WAS I RIGHT?!?! Not that I don't like those types of things, {in fact, I looooove them} but I wanted to do something a little different.

So, I'm here today to bring you a hybrid gift idea for kids! I mean, it's almost Christmas, right??

So, here's what I came up with...a small sticker book!






My poor daughter is forced to roam the isles of the local hobby and scrapbook stores almost daily (I know...she's pitiful, right?!?). The only thing that keeps her happy in those stores is looking through racks and racks of stickers. Luckily, she's developed a fondness for the stickers and now the visits to the scrapbook stores are much less painful!

The problem with this is, she was putting her new {totally awesome} scrapbook stickers on random pieces of paper and they were all getting thrown away or lost {NOT good, given the cost of some of those sticker sets}!

So, I created a sticker book for her using the Triple Scoop, "This One's for the Girls" with MandaBean and Heather Roselli. It is an awesome girly kit, perfect for lots of projects!

I already had a pack of cardstock sized 4.5" x 6.5" that I knew we could use, so I made my front and back covers 5" x 7". I designed the covers and printed them out. I then Mod Podged them to a thicker tag board to give them strength and durability. Once they were dry, I bound them together with the cardstock papers inside and voila - instant sticker book!

She's had the book for a few weeks and it is a hit with her friends at school! I even considered making them for Christmas gifts, but mass production isn't really my thing when it comes to hybrid projects!

Anyway, I hope this idea has been helpful and if you decide to try it, please come back and link us up! I'd love to see your creations!

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Hugs,
Leigh ♥

Fortitude

It's Beth again with more KH scrappy goodness! Can we ever tire of too much KH goodness? I submit that we CANNOT! (Sorry, I just had to quote my favorite comedian...) But seriously, aren't these colors and layouts gorgeous? Truly inspiring on more than one level! (Most images clickable.)



This kit speaks to us in so many different ways. As human beings, we each have our
challenges and successes, trials and blessings, adversity and triumphs. What a great
way to share our life's experiences for future generations to learn by and to inspire
ourselves to face the moment and continue on with "Fortitude!"



















For everyone in the U.S.A., we wish you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by! :-)

All in the Family

It's Beth here with Krystal's latest double scoop with Christy Lyle. It's "All in the Family"
and it's beautiful, soft, elegant, and the perfect amount of shabby for your holiday season,
family pictures, and more! Check it out! (All images clickable.)



Here's a layout from a recent family trip we took to the mountains. The colors were
PERFECT for our family photos! This kit was so much fun to play with.



Here are some more layouts from other CE members. Aren't they just gorgeous and fun?
















I hope you enjoyed the inspiration! Wishing everyone a Happy Veteran's Day!

November Template Challenge!

Hi there, Jenna here bringing this month's challenge and it's a template challenge, so this will be fun...well, I am biased *lol* I have had many ask me or tell me they wished they could scrap like me, which is a compliment in itself, SOOOOOO I took a page I completed and created a template out of it for your challenge.
