HEARTFULLY YOURS EMBELLISHMENTS, PART TWO!

>> Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Hi y’all!

How is everyone mid-week? Time to climb on over the “hump” into the final stretch of this week, eh?! WOO HOO! And how do y’all spell weekend? Okay, besides the obvious! *big grin* What is your favorite thing, aside from scrapping, that you enjoy doing either on the weekend, your day(s) or your partner’s day(s) off?

I have actually been watching some of the playoff games with Robert as I do like to spend time with him and he enjoys it! I have to laugh though, as I was REALLY into the playoff game between the Louisiana Saints and the Minnesota Vikings! Games such as that one are easy for me to watch because there is a lot of “game” going on! LOL!

I truly believe the only reason I have any interest in football whatsoever, aside from having raised four boys, is my playing girl’s flag football in my sophomore year of high school. Uhm, you know, so I actually have some understanding of what is happening on the field! LOL!

Before I post this evening’s links, if you rely on my feed being delivered to your inbox via Feed Burner, please make sure to scroll all the way down as I was too late in posting last night for it to be burned and sent to y’all. Hopefully, I get this posted and am not sounding like a CRAZY woman! ROFL! HA, HA, HAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Also, I neglected to mention with yesterday’s post that I included a “Tips and Tricks” file for those that may be fairly new to digital scrapbooking and also so that everyone is privy to the fact that both the heart scatters and the glitter scatters were created on the same canvas and are the same size so that you can merge them together if you wish to do so. I have explained how to do so in the “Tips and Tricks” file. If you have any questions, just hollar!

This evening, you will find two more links for Embellishments-3 and Embellishments-4. Tomorrow night, I will post the journaling strips!

Have a TERRIFIC Thursday!

Love and hugs,

Linda :D

HEARTFULLY YOURS EMBELLISHMENTS, PART ONE!

>> Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Evening everyone!

The day has slipped away from me as I’ve been trying to figure out why my RAM-ometer (LOL! This sweet little widget on my desktop) is hovering in the RED while I work in Photoshop! I’ve not really noticed it before and I’ve cleaned out files, returned PS to it’s default settings and I’m still struggling to keep from entering the DANGER zone! ROFL! Photoshop is open with nothing going on in it and I’m sitting at 68%. Perhaps Mozy preparing for a backup contributes to this, but I am not sure about that. I’ve been moving files around quite a bit lately so it seems that Mozy is always preparing for a backup! No complaints as I sleep VERY peacefully at night knowing that my files are safe! I think, perhaps, a little Googling is in order though to get a clue on the high stats on my RAM! *wink*

I have enjoyed reading your comments from yesterday’s post and your guesses as to what image, or portion thereof, I am using for my new blog header! I have to chuckle as I think I’ve done this backwards and I should have asked y’all what I SHOULD use because I am REALLY liking some of your ideas! I’m just sayin’! :D

My girlie, Ms. Dawn is back in action over at Snowsmoon’s Designs after her computer crashed last week (I talked her into Mozy sometime ago and she is good as new y’all!). Dawn is now up and running and back to her WONDERFUL Project 52 Weeks of 2010 (a nice alternative to the many Project 365’s for those of us that are challenged with daily photo taking and/or scrapping!), as well as providing some goodies via a Hide and See over at Hummie’s World. When you click on Project 52 Weeks of 2010, make sure to put your shades on because the sun is SHINING in Scrapland tonight! WOO HOO! And don’t forget to check out Snowsmoon’s Designs for her other FABULOUS happenings! If you scroll down a ways, you will even find a LOVELY scrapatit Dawn created using my *Floralessence* scrapkit from last month! We are also working on our *Days Gone By* challenge for February, so stay-tuned for that too! Love ya girlie and I’m SO happy that you are back! MWAH!

This evening’s download consists of two links for Part One of *Heartfully Yours* embellishments! There are a few items that are large in file size, so I’ve broken the embellishments up into four files to keep them all below 30 MB. I will post the final two tomorrow, followed by the journaling strips on Thursday! Now, you just KNOW that my week is going to fly by, right? Uh, huh! Keep me busy and time soars!

For those who might be here for the first time since my posting of *Heartfully Yours*, I am giving y’all an opportunity to win a $5.00 gift certificate to the digital scrapbooking store of YOUR choice (just make sure that they offer gift certificates) for guessing which image, OR portion thereof, that I will be using for my new blog header coming soon! To leave your guess, please comment below the post HERE! Deadline is Friday, February 5th at 11:59 PST. Winner to be announced here on my blog on Saturday. Good luck everyone!

Until tomorrow …

XOXO,

Linda :D

HEARTFULLY YOURS HAS ARRIVED AND A CHANCE TO WIN!

>> Monday, February 1, 2010

HAPPY MONDAY Y’ALL!
Thank you SO much for ALL of the WONDERFUL welcome backs! It surely does feel good to be back in the designing saddle again and, hopefully, I can stay in this saddle for a while without falling off! LOL! You know the old saying about falling off the horse and getting right back up on it again! He, he …
Please bear with me in that I will be revamping my blog and hope to have a new template in place soon. I just don’t wish to mess anything up, so I’m practicing a bit on a test blog and then will try to convert it and, hopefully, not lose my widgets! Of course, I shall back this one up first! ROFL! Better make sure I’ve had a good night’s sleep too, eh? :D
I have done SO much browsing and pondering in what I wish to do with my blog and keep coming back to my love of simplicity and clean lines! Funny how we do that, isn’t it? I SO adore the creativity in others, but I cannot fight who I am! Not to say that I don’t fight with myself on occasion, but I always fall back on who I really am!
With that said, my blog is not going to look scrapbookish per se, which I like, but I find too confining unless I wish to change it around all the time and I don’t! :P And, y’all KNOW how color coordinated I am! So, what do think I’m going to do? Any guesses? I’ll give you a wee bit of a hint. My new header will sport an image, or portion thereof, that is already somewhere here on my blog and it will go with anything I post! Now, that piece of information should make your guess MUCH easier! LOL! Oh, and I’ve finally decided to go with a white background as much I love the way things POP on black! It will make it much easier for me when others snag my images and/or I don’t have to make extra previews for my own blog! ROFL!
Now, for that “chance to win”! I am offering a $5.00 gift certificate to the digital scrapbooking store of YOUR choice (check to make sure that they offer gift certificates) via a random drawing by my sweet man or random.org from those who correctly guess the image I will be using as my new blog header!
Please post your ONE guess (give specifics!) in the comment area of this blog post. Deadline for all guesses will be this Friday (2/5) at 11:59 pm PST!
I will post the winner’s name on my blog Saturday and have that person email me with the store of their choice. I will then purchase the $5.00 gift certificate and email to the winner!
Happy guessing! :D
Here are some detail images of *Heartfully Yours*:

Today’s download will consist of the patterned and solid papers. Tuesday and Wednesday I will post embellishments, Thursday I will post the journaling strips and if I come up with any extras, such as scrapatits, clusters, etc., I shall post them on Friday!
Until tomorrow, get your scrap on and don’t forget to post your guess as to the image I will be using for my new blog header!
Love and hugs,
Linda :D
