Template #152

Welcome!

How are you all doing today? Hope you are all some place warm!

Where oh where do I begin on all that has happened here in the last couple of days?

Saturday the boy had a basket ball game but 2 hours before the game they changed the time and location. That night since I couldn't sleep I ended up staying up all night and reading a book from cover to cover.

Yesterday afternoon they put us under a blizzard warning that was in effect until 6pm tonight. So since I figured I'd be staying home I "attempted" to install and format my new hard drive. Everything was fine except the sound driver would not work, even after I rolled back to service pack 2 and tried again. But then not only was the sound not working I kept getting Internet explorer errors saying explorer needed to close. But explorer wasn't even running! After fighting it for a couple of hours I had had enough and unplugged the new hard drive and went back to the old for the evening.

This morning I decided to try again and it formatted and installed windows with out a single hitch in it's gitty up! Now the only updating left to do for the computer is a new video card (the fan on it is failing). If I can get my hands on a new one in the next month or so I will have completely rebuilt my computer in the past 6 months.

Next step is to get all the Mac stuff up and going. I've never run a Mac before but from what I understand it is supposed to be pretty good with graphics and such. So that will be my new project in the next couple of months, along with learning Linux.

The weather here is COLD Brrrr! The neighbors water pipes froze up and finally burst today so I was called upon to help turn the water off to the house. It amazes me at how many home owners don't know how to turn there water or gas supplies off to there homes!

The wind has finally died down here but round two is supposed to hit tomorrow!

Ok, ok enough yip yap you say? I agree, how about a freebie for you all? This is the layout I created using tonight's template #152 and my soon to be released Snow Days Kit.

This photo was semi staged. My boyfriend told me he was going to slide in and stop, so I was ready at the bottom of the run with the camera. As it turns out it is the only decent picture I got of him that day. He hates pictures! I have maybe a dozen pictures of him over the last 6 years!

My Snow Days Kit is set to be released this Sunday the 18th!

Double Template # 10

Welcome to Double Template Friday!

This year I will try and have a new Double Template up every Friday. That's the plan, but it's not a guarantee!

But first I wanted to share some awesome Freebie Kits that I found today!

Beacon Scraps has 18 Freebie Kits that are available until Jan 31st!

Sweet Blossom Designs also has a gorgeous kit out called "Boys World".

Also while snooping through Scrap land today I stumbled upon my Template #2 in use at Scrapbook Flairs Gallery.

We had freezing rain during the night with on and off snow showers all day today. Almost 2 inches so far, not much, but with the ice under it cars have been going into the ditch along the interstate quite often tonight.

If it wasn't for the cost of living I think I'd pack up and move to Denver! The weather may get nasty there too but at least it don't last like it does around here! Icky Flat Lands! Great for farming but I hate the winters more and more each year! The summers are almost the same but a whole lot less humidity in Denver. The only bad things I have found about Denver, Crime and Smog. I like my little town. You could put the population of my "state" inside the Denver Metro area 4 times!

I also said I would show you week one of Project 365 when I finished it.

Well it's finished!

I used a wonderful freebie kit by Delicious Scraps called "Lilac A Licious"

Project 365 Week 2 Template

What's happening everyone!


I hope you have had a good day cause I know I have! It has been a busy but productive day! There is no sign of Christmas anywhere anymore except new toys! Everything from our trip has been dealt with and or put away. But the highlight of the day was picking out a new TV for the computer room!! The picture went out in the living room TV last Christmas so I bought a big new flat screen then and over the summer the picture on the one in the computer room proofed! I snagged the TV from the bedroom then but just before Christmas the sound failed in that. So today after a few days of research and deal shopping I got a new flat screen for the computer room! It fits perfect on the shelf I built for the old TV above my desk, I just love it! I also found time to make week two's Project 365 Template and a few more freebies that will be released soon!

Any who, on to the scrapping world!

Juli sent in these layouts shortly before Christmas. I apologize Juli for not sharing them earlier, these are wonderful!

Juli says:

"For the single page, I used A Work in Progress Kit by Vicki called Funky Retro, an add-on from Sweet Blossom’s Sara called Retro Funky Add-On, your template, and a font called Pea Missy with a Marker from a website called Amanda’s Scrapbooking Fonts."

Juli says:

"For the double page, I used A Work in Progress Collab kit by Vicki called Putting on the Glitz, your template, and the same font as before."

Thank you so much for sharing them with us Juli!

I would love to see the layouts you make using my templates and or kits. For those of you who would like to share, you can find my email in the about me section on the side of the blog.

Project 365 week 1 Template

Howdy Everyone!

So, How many of you know about Project 365? Did you Google it? Pretty interesting isn't it. Well I have decided to participate and try to complete it as my New Years Resolution. Once a week I will be offering a double template with 7 photo places and 7 journaling spaces. What you see below is my start on week one. I have decided to start with January first but you can start it on what ever day you wish to. As you can see I still have not figured out what kit to use so it is only the photos and journaling so far but I wanted to give you an idea of how it works.

Summery of journaling; Jan 1 fixed mom's computer, Jan 2 Skiing at Mary Jane, Jan 3 Drive home, Jan 4 unpack. Jan 5 pack Christmas stuff and tree away, Jan 6 recovery, Jan 7 napped.

I'll show it to you agian when I actually get it finished!

If you have any suggestions where I can find a nice freebie kit to use for week one I'd really appreciate it. I'm so far behind checking blogs! I'm still going through Digifrees archives of while I was gone!

Until next time...
