I must be CRAZY and a FREEBIE!!!

Seriously, I must be crazy! I recently came across an ad to be part of the "Teacher's Pet" Designer Program at FPD and I decided to join! I just posted my first assignment in the gallery. I had so much fun putting it together, but right now, I feel a bit like I'm going to throw up - I'M SO NERVOUS!!!

You can get mine (and all the other fab freebies) on the FPD site. You'll need to sign up for their newsletter to get the password to open them all - but trust me, it's worth it!

So our first assignment was to create a mini kit that is "Trendy". Well, I'm not sure if I got the trendy part - it's all relative, really, but I did finish the kit, and I think it came out really, really cute! Click the pic to get the freebie!

And, Christy (TheWerners) from my CT already made not 1 but 2 LO's from it! Can you believe it - I just finished it this afternoon - man, she's good!

Here's your freebies list:

RAK challenge in our Community Challenge Forum:


The challenge is a RAK Challenge and it's hosted by Nonnie:

I thought about this challenge and wanted to share - I was browsing through
some galleries and came across the most beautiful RAK pages - What a great
idea
- to RAK someone with a layout - for those who don't know an RAK is a
Random Act
of Kindness.

So the challenge works like this - I will
start by posting a picture -
maybe it is one I love or am just stuck on -
and the idea is that someone will
see that picture - scrap it and then post
the RAK layout - along with that RAK
they should also post a picture for the
next person - this should keep the
challenge going -

We've already had some fantastic LO's RAK Scrapped and would love to have you
join in the fun! You can check out the fun (and veiw the LO's) here: http://scrapmatters.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1322&start=0

There is also a new Template Challenge EVERY Tuesday (today's should be announced any minute!!!) . You can find the Template Challenges here: http://scrapmatters.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=30


On Saturdays, we have the Saturday Special Challenge. This week, it's hosted by Lina and it's a "Complete Make Over" Challenge. You can find the Saturday Special Challenges here: http://scrapmatters.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=31

Freebies list!!!

I've got a long post for ya today!



First, I've just released my brand new kit "Wild"!!! Check it out..


"Wild" is the perfect kit for animal lovers big and small. Use it to scrap pages from your trips to the zoo, a safari or maybe just your own little wild ones! This huge kit comes with 15 papers, a full alpha & tons of gorgeous elements!

You can find "Wild" at ScrapMatters.com. Click here to check out all the details!



And some of the ScrapMatters.com Creative team and my fabulous CT (did you know I have a CT now???? Check out this post for the annoucment and some Gorgeous LO's by these talented LO Artists!) made up some beautiful Quick Pages to get you scrapping those Zoo pics QUICK!



This 12x12 album contains EIGHT (8) beautiful quick pages made from my "Wild Kit". Use the pages to quickly document your trips to the zoo, a safari or maybe just your own little wild ones!


Each page is 12x12 at 300 dpi. Just slide your photos behind each quick page to complete an album in no time! Special Thanks to Christy, Lina, Shari, Jeni and Denise for their incredible talents as layout artists!


You can find these QP's here.



And as I was working late on getting this all together last night, I noticed that I still had my JUNE desktop up on my monitor. So I halted everything to make up a new one for JULY. Of course I used "Wild", and you can find it on my design blog for free... Enjoy! (Aren't those little critters cute!!!)

Okay, on to the freebies list:

Sale & some freebies!

Who doesn't love a sale????

and Jeni and Andrea are doing this months Daily Download kit! Come check it out, it's free!

Where did June go????

I can't believe that is July already! I think I completely missed June... at least on my blog anyhow. We had a very busy month, and I guess that I kept thinking that I just posted last week - that's not so bad. BUT, way more than a week!


I honestly don't have time for a list for you right now, but I can directly you to a couple of really fab freebies.


I posted this one on my design blog a couple of weeks ago - so if you missed, it, be sure to grab it now :-)











Okay that's all for now - I've got to run out again (ever feel like you are NEVER home???)
