You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe

But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated
You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys
Down to earth, easy going, and fun! Yup, that's you: the friend everyone invites.
And your dependable too. Both for a laugh and a sympathetic ear.

What Kind of Coffee Girl Are You?

Goals for digi scrapping

2008-01-31T00:43:00.000-08:00

My main goal is to learn more about Photoshop. I plan to take an online class because there is a lot to learn. I still have trouble changing the colours on elements. LOL

SKIP ABC B Freebie

2008-01-27T13:46:00.000-08:00

Thank you to everyone who left a comment. I really appreciate that you took the time.

I couldn't decide which words I liked better to use on my ABC book so I made 2. I also changed it around a bit. I like the tag better. I remade the A as well and will upload it later on tonight. I think these look better than the A! I don't know if I should stick with the same type of letters through the whole book. What is everyone else doing? I started the boy letters but they aren't going as fast. LOL

Anyways here is the preview

You can download it here

In other news here is my latest LO.

I used the January 2008 SAS-y Cinnamon Mega Kit

Great kit. I am getting a lot of use out of it.

Anyways I am out of here. I have a 25 man raid on Grulls Lair and most of you don't know what that is, but for those that do

ALLIANCE FTW

SKIP ABC Freebie

2008-01-26T03:28:00.000-08:00

If you haven't been over to Digitreats

She is creating a wonderful ABC kit for girls and boys. This is a fantastic idea and lots people are getting in on it and creating different things for it. It will be a huge kit by the time it is done.

Here's a peek for you

ABC SKIP of course is my favourite one and so I made something to add to it.
Here is my lowly freebie contribution, some word art. I can't go as fast as these ladies do. :)

You can download it here

Now I realize people will be using different words for their A page. So I am willing to make some with different A words. So post your request in the comments section and I will see what I can do.

My Favourite Challenge ever

2008-01-12T21:33:00.000-08:00

is the Pop Rocks Challenge at Sweet Shoppe. I love pop culture so the challeneges are a lot of fun. It was the first digital challenge I really took to. Here is the my very first Pop Rock LO

I can't wait for the new one this month.

Kit Idea

2008-01-12T21:20:00.000-08:00

Here is my kit idea

An Orginization one

I am trying to make little signs for my 3 year old in her room so she knows where everything is. Problem is she can't read. So a kit with little elements like hangers, shirts (long sleeves and short) socks, shoes, hats, pants, toys books, everything that can possibly be in a kids room. It would have little tag templates that you make your little sign on. For example 4 tags on a 4x6 sheet. So kit would need girly papers and boyish papers and an alpha and all the elements. As well as a template for a door sign to put the kids name on.

and that's the idea.

I won I won

Looky what I won...

Isn't that a great Birthday gift? Isn't it adorable? I have her many of her kits. You can check them out on her blog
I love her designs, they are so fresh and funky.

My personal favourite is this kit I love the little owl it's so cute. Hmm I see she has a few kits I missed too. :)

Happy Birthday to me!

Sasy January Color Challenge Freebie

2008-01-11T00:14:00.000-08:00

For this months challenge we had to design a mini kit. Loads of fun. I don't really care for these colors, I am more a pink kind of gal. Took me awhile and I think I did more tutorial reading than actually designing but I have finished it. I didn't really fool around with papers too much. Will have to learn more before I can make them. Word Art though is lots of fun. Right up my alley!

Anyways here's the preview
Not bad eh? for my first shot at it anyways...it's all about presentation I think! LOL
Anyways here's the link for you to DOWNLOAD

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. You can be totally honest, it's all anon anyways and I can just say "whatever" and delete your comment if I don't like it.

That's the genius of this blog! :)~~~~

Hiya Ang!!

You Were Pretty Average This Year

You Were 45% Naughty, 55% Nice

You tried to be a good girl this year...
But as you know, being good isn't that fun!
If you're extra sweet, you may have enough time to get on that nice list.

Were You a Naughty Girl or Nice Girl this Year?

Christmas Time is here...

2007-12-24T12:56:00.000-08:00

One of my all time favourite Christmas movies.

I love Hermie who wants to be a dentist. I remember watching it when I was a kid. Although back then it was only on once and if you missed....you were out of luck. Now it is on practically every night. Plus we have the DVD anyways. :)

Your Holiday Stress Level is Moderate

The holidays sometimes stress you out, but mostly because they wear you down.

Take it easy! You can have a fun holiday without running yourself ragged.

What's Your Holiday Stress Level?

What Your Handwriting Says About You

You are a fairly energetic person. You know how do pace yourself, and you deal well with stress.

You range from very outgoing to very shy. You are a shapeshifter who is very versatile. You adapt well, and you look at things from many angles.

You are balanced and grounded. You know how to get along well with others.

You don't a lot of space, and you prefer to spend time with others. You are a little nosy and intrusive. You sometimes don't give people enough space.

You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart.

You are a poor communicator. No one really knows exactly what you're getting at.

4x6 Brag Book Freebie

2007-11-13T05:55:00.000-08:00

Terrible blogger that I am. I couldn't even remember that password to get in here. :) Can you cheat on this and do a blog post for an earlier date? Anyone know?
I am too busy scrapping and reading other blogs oh and I had my baby girl but that should get a whole post of it's own I think.

I am making brag books like a maniac now for Christmas. I keep forgetting to turn them into templates. Here is a freebie 4x6 template for you.

I don't have a TOU, so I don't require credit at this time till I get around to making one.
I just like to read the comments AHEM and see how many people download it. The last freebie I spent the better part of my day checking to see how many downloaded. Silly isn't it? I don't know why it amuses me so much. Anyways....

Download it here

Still haven't found anywhere in Ontario that prints 12x12. I think Costco does but you have to have a membership to get in there which I don't have.

Special thanks to Holly for the nice long comment she left, that wasn't the standard "Thanks" or"Thank you so much" The gal actually looked at my LO's and stuff. YAY!

Freebie confession time...I often copy and paste my standard comment for downloading freebies. So many times I have written the comment in before I actually started the download and then the page would refresh and I had to wait for the thing to come up again. Do you think that is a bad thing to do? Better than no comment don't you think? I don't do it all the time but sometimes. OK OK I do it quite often! :)

While I am on the topic of freebies, nothing worse than seeing a beautiful freebie that I just have to have and it's in another language. Sigh. There were some nice calenders the other day and I quickly went to download them and they were in french. Sigh. What's a girl to do?

Found a cool kit

2007-10-08T02:03:00.001-07:00

that's free. I quite like it.

Here is the link if you are interested! It's a girly kit and I really like the name! It's all about the name these days. She did a really good job on it. Going to play with it in a bit.

I am really having a hard time with keeping a blog. I really don't know what to say! :) However since some of my KC friends have been directed here by me, I felt I should update.

So HI KC people! :)~~

There is also a quickpage bragbook that I did that you can download on the Digitreats Creative Team blog which is here
It was uploaded on the 4th so you may have to scroll down a bit.

Off to search for more freebies and maybe do a LO. I have already spent my digi limit this month. Much less than my PAPER scrapping budget I must say. LOL Although I likely spend too much on printing the LOs anyways!

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!

A Gorgeous Kit

2007-08-30T04:14:00.000-07:00

As I was looking through freebies I came across this
Isn't that the cutest? I love the little owl, it's adorable. She is very talented. Thought I would share it.

Anyways, here are some splotches to match the word art.

You can download them here

Summer Word Art Freebie

2007-08-29T04:59:00.000-07:00

Here is some Word Art for anyone who can use it. Let me know what you think!

You can download it here

Changed link to the PNG file, linked wrong one! Oops!

Word Art can be the most time consuming part of scrapbooking, so I thought I would share it.

Creative Team Announcement

2007-08-29T03:17:00.000-07:00

I have been asked to be on the Creative Team for Digitreats which is very flattering considering I have only been doing this for roughly a month or so.

As I am sure you all did, at one point, I was on a downloading "freebie" race and I came upon her site. Her kits were actually the first ones that "clicked" for me and I created some great layouts with them. Of course I had to show someone, so why not the person who made them. One thing led to another and here I am.

So as my hardrive gets fuller and fuller, I am creating some great layouts with her kits. She is really a wonderful designer so check her out if you get a chance.

Some of my recent digital layouts

2007-08-29T03:14:00.000-07:00

I really love this picture. Photoshop actions are the best. I am getting much faster at digi scrapping. This layout took me about 30 minutes tops.

Well I have joined the club and started a blog

2007-08-29T03:12:00.000-07:00

Every single digital scrapper seems to have one, so I can't be the only one who has no link on MY name. I am not sure exactly what I will put up here and how much time I will spend on it. Since I am likely talking to myself I guess it doesn't really matter anyways! :)

Just a little background on me. I have been paper scrapping for about 3 years now and just recently started to scrap digitally. I try not to think of all my paper supplies gathering dust. Best we not speak of that. I already have a lot of blogs that I read daily, so while I am thinking who needs another blog to read...I repeat I cannot be the only one without a link on her name. It makes me unworthy somehow!
