Hi all

I am really looking forward to the game this weekend...Not for the actual game, but for the good food and friends...and the beer too of course...lol


I have created a little football pool spreadsheet in excel if anyone is interested. Please feel free to download and print it out.

HAVE A FUN and SAFE weekend everyone!

Freebie New Moon Party Invitation

So...My Girlfriends and I are going to "nerd out" and have a New Moon party. We are going ALL OUT. From blood rimmed drinks to vampire bite tatoos....YES - NERDING OUT.

It is going to be so much fun though - to act like a teeneager again...lol

Here is the invitation I made using things found around the net....
Feel free to snag it for your own New Moon Party!

Freebie Quick Page

It has been a while since I posted here....I was off having a baby five weeks early and I am sure you all know how time consuming a baby can be....lol.

I recently had the pleasure of working with one of Pamela's newest kist Boo To You Too, an absolutely adorable Halloween kit. This kit is not in the traditional bold colors of Halloween which is one reason I love it SO MUCH. You can pick up the kit for only FIVE bucks over at the Polkadot Potato. I know.....a total STEAL.

Anyhoo - I hope you enjoy the QP and be sure to leave a comment...Pamela LOVES to hear feedback from her fans - it helps to inspire her to keep on creating these fab kits for us!

Here is the QP for YOU


And here is what I did with it!


ENJOY

Happy Holidays

Better late than never....

Sorry I was such a slacker and could not get my sh*t together to get my portion of the ADSD November "After Dusk" colab up in time, but I did make a few things and so I thought I would go ahead and post what I head and then start over with a clean slate for the December ADSD "Holidays at Home" Colab.

So here you go - just a few things that you can add to the rest of the ladies fabulous contributions. ENJOY

One of the WONDERFUL advantages of being on Pamela Gibson’s creative Team is not only the fact that I get to work with such GREAT kits ALL THE TIME, but also the fact that she let’s me GIVE my layouts away to YOU! So really it is a Win, Win, Win situation. In this case a quadruple win – since it is a charity kit.

I get to work with a great kit = You get a free quick page =
The Charity makes money = Pamela get’s promotion

YAYYYYY!!! We all win. I love it! So without further ado (sp?), I present you the QP I made using her adorable new kit called Peachy Keen that she and Jan Crowley worked together to create for the Songbird Ave Charity Kit.

DOWNLOAD

All proceeds from this kit go to The Animal Haven – a no kill shelter. Isn’t that wonderful? A great cause, a great kit, and a great FREEBIE….lol

Check out this wonderful kit over at Songbird Avenue
and be sure to check out the rest of Pamela's kits over at Polka Dot Potato

FREEBIE QP

Imagine my excitement when I was approached by friend and fellow designer Joy of Share Joy Designs to create a quick page using her fabulous new kit "Let's Hear It For The Boys". This kit is so much fun and perfect for scrapping both the little guys and big guys in your life.


Hop on over to her blog to get the QP I made and for more information on how to purchase this adorable kit.

Freebie QP for you....

I have a brag book quick page for you in 4x6 - just plop a picture behind it and your all set. This page was made using my "Halloween Party" kit available here on the blog for only FIVE bucks. Hope you like the freebie.

This is a TEST.

I like you - and you seem to like freebies so I am GIVING AWAY my entire "Swedish Dreams" kit - The Elements, the papers, the Add-on and the Quick Page. I would be ever so grateful if you were to show me what you make with it.

I made this kit in honor of my beautiful Mother/Best Friend. Her favorite colors are blue and yellow.

And since I no longer sell my designs at Ahhh Scrap - I would like to give this to you as a special gift. I hope you like it.









Have a GREAT Wednesday and Happy October to everyone.

As always the Password is HSD

FREEBIE FOR YOU

I am going through my products from the shop and wanted to give you all a freebie.
I hope you enjoy this set of Chrome Frames. There are the plain ones as shown and then some with embellished glitter as an added bonus!



Password is HSD

I hope you enjoy them. Keep checking back as I am still adding products for sale and plan to have MANY more freebies in the works.

Have a Great day!

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have decided to leave the Ahhh Scrap Store. It is with great sadness as I love the store, admin and all the designers. I want to thank them for giving me my big break, I just do not have the time to fulfill the obligations necessary and I don't want to let them down. I will continue to design at my own pace and may have a kit for sale here or there on the blog, but you can be SURE there will be freebies coming. Once I repackage everything I will have links set up to purchase the kits here. In the meantime - Here is a FREEBIE for you. It has been a while - so be on thge lookout for MORE freebiews to come.

FREEBIE ~ Swedish Dreams Quick Page

my newest kit "Swedish Dreams".

I hope you enjoy the gift - Have a GREAT weekend everyone.

Ahhh Scrap August "Back 2 School" Collaboration Kit

The Designers at Ahhh Scrap have done it again.
Look at all the fun things the ladies came up with for you this month!

This month, we decided to focus on the coming school year.
I know as parents, a lot of us look forward to the kids going back to school. More time for scrapping!

Hopefully this kit will inspire many projects and layouts!

Post some in our gallery! We love to see what is done with our kits!

This kit is only $4.99!! (For a limited time!)

It includes 112 papers, and 197 elements!

But, if you signed up for our newsletter (before August 1), you will get a coupon for $1 off!

What an incentive!

Hope you can find use for this incredible kit!

Also, Brooke has made this ADORABLE August Desktop Calendar using the kit that you can pick up for FREE (click photo to go to Freebie) It is SO cute - you know I am using it on MY desktop.

And last but certainly not least -
This month, the designers created brag book pages (4x6 inches) out of our collaboration kit.

You will be able to come back each day and download a page or two of the book.
By the end of the month, you should have 43 pages!

Here is day 1:
(click to go to download)



Be sure to check back every day!!!

Have a GREAT Day and Happy Scrapping!

New Layout

I finally got around to actually scrapping a layout for ME!!!! lol
All this designing and figuring out the store has been pretty time consuming so I took some time to do a layout of my Son. I REALLY wanted to do something special with the amazing August Collaboration from Ahhh Scrap called "Cool Dude"...I hate to have it just SIT because it is absolutely adorable and a STEAL at $4.99.

Here is my layout - I call it "3 Years Old"
You can click on the photo to go to my Ahhh Scrap Gallery and leave me some love (please...lol)



Layout created by ME (HSDesigns)
July 2008
