New Fall Freebie

This week's challenge was to create a kit without using anything made by anyone else (commercial use items). So everything was made by me from my own photographs, etc. The theme is a "Stay-cation"- something you would do around your community, instead of traveling. Hubby and I love the fall colors. We usually drive around and look at them and I take pictures. The we go get cider and doughnuts from the cider mill. YUM!
You can get this free kit though September 30.  Click: Fall Color Tour Stay-Cation to go to the download information in the gallery.
If you grab it, please leave me a comment! :-)

Chevron Monogrammed Book Covers!

These bright green Chevron Monogrammed Covers can be used for lesson plan books, grade books, journals, manuals, or anything! The set includes a page for every letter A-Z.
Print them on cardstock, a thicker paper, and laminate them for years of use. Or just print a sheet on regular copy paper and insert it into the front clear pocket on a 3-ring notebook. Either way, it will make your book look personalized, modern and fun!

New Freebie Kit

 

This is my kit for the Next Designer Contest at Digital Scrapbooking Studio. The theme this week is "Beach Getaway". A special thank you to Mary Aten, Michigan Photographer, who let me use her photo for my color swatch and inspiration! If you like my new FREE kit, you can go here to get the link: Mary's Muskegon. If you grab it, please leave me a comment in the gallery there.
Kim Broedelet isn't doing a "Colour Challenge" this month, so there won't be a freebie here for September, which is actually good, since I am busy making kits for DSS!
Have a great week, everyone!

Beep Beep! A New Freebie Mini Kit

This month I am participating in a scrapbook designing contest at Digital Scrapbooking Studio. I hope to make something for all 4 weeks. For this week (week 1) the theme is "Road Trip". On Sunday, we were given 15 colors to use to make our own color swatch, then we were to use it to design a mini kit of exactly 5 papers (3 patterns and 2 solids) and 12 elements. Here's mine:

If you like it, you can grab BEEP BEEP from DSS until September 30.
