MORE CARDS TO ADD YOUR COLLECTION AND I'VE POSTED YOUR LAYOUTS!!!

>> Sunday, January 20, 2008

Have y'all had a FUN, a RELAXING or a PRODUCTIVE weekend??? What have you been up to?

This shall be another rather SHORT post as, no Tink dearest, I am neither sick nor hurt - I am PLUM-TUCKERED OUT!!! ROFL! My eyes are at half-mast as I type and I just had to stop by to make sure that y'all get the next installment of Carole's BEAUTIFUL cards! There will be TWO more tomorrow night, making a complete set of TEN!!! These LOVELIES are TRULY "all-occasion" and I know that I will find MANY uses for them including, but not limited to, Valentine's Day! THANK YOU again Ms. Carole!!! You ROCK sweetheart!

I actually did get quite a bit accomplished today! I spent time leaving LOVIN' in the 3S gallery and one of our moderators, Tammy Gary became a GRANDMA this morning and she has already posted several brag book pages of her NEW granddaughter, Charli Elizabeth!!! If you happen to peek in Tammy, CONGRATULATIONS once again!!! WOO HOO, she is BEAUTIFUL! If you'd like to stop by, take a PEEK and leave a note of congratulations to the FIRST-TIME grandma, you may find her gallery HERE!

I was able to finish copying and posting ALL 49 layouts created using *A LOVE FOR ALL SEASONS*!!! If you scroll down to the bottom of my blog, it is the VERY first slideshow and it is SO beautiful to watch. LOL!!! Nancy dearest, y'all are ALREADY famous!!! Of anything, it's the other way around! Y'all are making ME famous with your GORGEOUS and CREATIVE work!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I know that MANY of you are VERY limited on time and it DEARLY touches my heart that you worked diligently to get those layouts posted by the deadline. I finished sending all of the ADD-ON bonuses last night!!! WAY too cool!

Okay, this sleepy-head is off to bed! I hope you are enjoying the cards and I hope to have a little mini-kit posted for y'all tomorrow night or Tuesday. I had mentioned to you that I was going to rework my VERY first kit that I EVER made and post it as mini's - WELL, *chuckle, chuckle*, if I were to critique that kit today, I'd FIRE me!!! I could not believe it!!! However, the GOOD to come out of it is to see HOW much I have grown in the last nine months!!! I have selected a few of the papers and will make some new things to go with them. They are a monochromatic, sort of raspberry-based color. ROFL!!! I was SO proud of myself when an action I used didn't work correctly and I used the outline anyway and created a couple of papers that give the appearance of being embossed! *Chuckling again* - now I actually KNOW how to make a paper look embossed!!! You get the picture! It's been a FUN process and I am SO looking forward to learning SO much more this year and helping others to learn too!!!

Nighty, night y'all. May you have a FABULOUS day, an INCREDIBLE week and enough creativity to keep you HAPPILY scrapping!

Hugs,
Linda

IT'S A BIRD! ... IT'S A PLANE!! ... NOOOOOO ... IT'S A SUPER SATURDAY "FLY-BY" SURPRISE !!!

>> Saturday, January 19, 2008

Hi y'all!!!

TONIGHT'S installment of Carole's "All-Occasion" cards is BELOW and this, believe it OR not, is a FLY-BY delivery!!!

I am posting your FREEBIE and then I am back to the 3S gallery to finish collecting the BEAUTIFUL collection of layouts using *A LOVE FOR ALL SEASONS* to post at the bottom of my blog. The reason I am placing them at the bottom of my blog is that it is the ONLY place I can place a slideshow LARGE enough for suitable viewing to give all of these BEAUTIES the showcasing they deserve!!!

SWEET DREAMS everyone and may you have a SUPER SUNDAY!

BIG HUGS,
Linda

WOO HOO!!! IT'S FANTABULOUS FREEBIE FRIDAY Y'ALL .......... AND .......... IT'S A BOY!!!

>> Friday, January 18, 2008

WOO HOO!!! I'm a SINGIN' the BLUES!!! Why you ask? Because I'm having a GRANDSON!!! Guess I'd better hone up on my BOY skills and start thinking of some BOYISH kits, eh??? LOL! Well, while I will undoubtedly create a kit for our NEWEST grandson, I will still be designing GIRLY stuff too!

The kids have not decided on a name yet, but a couple that keep coming up are Kaleb and Dominic. The middle name will DEFINITELY be Douglas after my son's father. Baby Boy is due April 24th, so they still have plenty of time to decide! Would you like to take a peek at Baby Boy in his womb? I'm telling you, this is the MOST incredible thing I think I've ever seen. And just imagine what it will be like for Baby Boy when he is all grown up and gets to look at himself pre-birth!!! AMAZING!

Oh, by the way, I did NOT go with Mark and Jessica this afternoon! I had a motherly premonition that I was going to get a phone call and sure enough, after showering and getting all dressed up to go, Mark called and expressed that they would like the day to themselves since it has been a while for the two of them to spend time away from their daily routines together. I was TOTALLY understanding and they assured me that they would stop by on their way home to show me the pictures. They stopped by the mall and then had lunch at the Olive Garden! YUM! Italian sounds really good right now! LOL!

I was in AWE while looking at my grandson, of course! The name of the place they went for their 3-D ultrasound is "Womb With A View"! I think that is just TOO sweet! Anyhoo, they were given regular ultrasound photos and a sheet of four 3-D photos in color, along with a DVD that was about 20 minutes long. The video was TOO unreal as we sat and watched Baby Boy opening and closing his mouth as if he were speaking to us! Rather surreal to say the least.

I scanned all of the photos and burned a copy of the DVD! I can now sit here at the computer when I need a baby fix and watch my future grandson, or as I told the kids, "I'm babysitting already"!!! Gee, ya think I'm excited, or what!!!

TINK! I appreciate the "Tinkerly" advice and I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it, eh? LOL! I can tell you now that I won't think of him as my own, but that could change in a "heartbeat"!!! I will get some photos posted of Luke with his car and in his uniform sometime this weekend! He is SO happy and that makes ME happy! BTW - I have TWO files for Osten (actually three). I have a MAIN blog file where I store blog freebies and then a store file for kits that I purchase. The third file is for all the goodies he lets me take a peek at before he is finished!!!

Aly, I did get your e-mail and layout - THANK YOU! I've been super busy working on these three kits to go into the store and will finish replying to e-mails this weekend. If I miss a blog post at night, y'all will know that my body has given up on me and I've passed out across my bed, which by the way, is only about three steps from my computer chair!

Sharon, I had posted a note for you in the chatterbox a few days ago, but I think it got buried! I hope that you get to feeling better REALLY soon sweetie!

Jody, how EXCITING for you to be getting involved in some challenges! WOO HOO for YOU girl!!! I bet you are just LOVIN' it!

Tomorrow, I will be putting up the slideshow of layouts from all of those that posted in the 3S gallery with *A Love For All Seasons*! I can't wait for y'all to see them. I will also be uploading the FULL scrapkit to the store, along with *Win'tree Weather* and, hopefully, *Floral Frenzy*.

I also have a few other surprises in the works for y'all! I will be posting my VERY first two kits EVER as a series of mini-kits for you to download for FREE!!! I will most likely rework them a tad bit beforehand! You know how it is when you first learn how to do something and as you progress and look back, you then look at your first works and shake your head in disbelief!!! ROFL!!! The names are *LOVE ACTUALLY* and *BLOOMIN' AWESOME* and I hope that you will enjoy them as Valentine's Day and Spring are quickly approaching!

A VERY, VERY special THANK YOU to ALL of you who left LOVIN' for Osten on his blog today - he was TRULY amazed and is even working on a little something special for you to show his gratitude!!! Y'all ARE the best!!!

Without further ado, I'd like you to meet our newest grandson (the first from my clan) and below that is your FRIDAY FREEBIE, which are two more cards from *A LOVE FOR ALL SEASONS* created by the now infamous, Carole Nordyke!!! Thank you Carole!


SCRAP HAPPY Y'ALL and have a FABULOUS weekend!

Hugs,
Linda
