Christmas Cheer Freebie and My Amazing CT

I know I tell them often how much I appreciate them, but somehow it's never enough. I love my creative team. They always go above and beyond the call of duty and the results are always amazing. I'm so glad they're a part of my scrapping "family."
Here are some of their most recent layouts.

Thank you ladies!

If anyone is looking to join a new CT, drop me an email at karla@starband.net. I'm always looking to add to my Kaleidoscope Girls.

Today I have a freebie for you made by one of my CT members Linda F. I like to call her the queen of extractions because she has so many amazing effects in her layouts. Her favorite subject these days is her grandson, and he makes for a great layout everytime. I just wish I could get some great shots of Gianni so I could scraplift some of Linda's ideas!

Here's a layout she did using the freebie she made. Isn't he cute! He's got that face you just want to squeeze.




The freebie is two frames...one with the striped bow like in the layout and one with a red bow. Linda used the ribbons, wreath, and frame from my latest kit Christmas Cheer.



Available at Divine Digital and Karla's Kaleidoscope Designs.

She added lights from her own tree. See what I mean about the queen of extraction? Then she transformed the wreath it looks like it's actually balancing on the frame. I love it! Linda has graciously said I could share this great frame with all of you. You can download both frames here.



Note that the files are saved in png format and come in two separate files. I just combined them for the preview only! :) Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving, Sale Reminder, and a Freebie!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I'm taking a break from making my Black Friday list. There's no real must haves on it, so I'm starting to wonder why we're getting up at 4:00 AM to go shopping. Seems silly doesn't it? I wanted to get Gianni a kitchen set that I saw in the Sears catalog...they'll email me when it becomes available. They have it at Walmart too, but only free shipping from site to store. Great if I had a way to get it home! Not sure what I'll do now.

I just wanted to remind everyone that I'm having a big sale at KKD. I actually changed the sale to make it even sweeter for all of you! Now nearly everything in the store is 75% off and you can buy the store for just $20.00. That's a steal!

I also have a freebie for you today. It's a quickpage that coordinates with the set I just released at Divine. They're 63% off this weekend making them just $3.00 for the set of 6. How can you beat $.50 a quickpage?

Here's a pic of the freebie. Click here to download.

Gearing up for Black Friday + a Freebie

I love the holiday season: family gatherings, the hustle and bustle of shopping and sales, making and buying gifts, decorating the house, baking cookies, and so much more. I love it all! This year we're going to my parents' home. It will be pretty quite, as my sister and BIL are going to his parents' house this year. So it's just Mom and Dad, Grandma, John, Gianni, and me.

We be stuffing our faces with my Mom's delicious dishes. She's a great cook. I could never make a spread quite as good as hers. My contribution is an allergen free pie for my little guy. He's allergic to dairy and eggs, so we had to find an acceptable substitute. I ended making a pumpkin pie and a chocolate pie last weekend as a trial run. Today I tweeked the chocolate recipe a bit. I'm crossing my fingers it will set up as well as it did last time. I wasn't able to find a single non-dairy whipped topping here in the middle of nowhere, so Gianni will actually have a bit of decorator frosting on his pie to make it look as much like the rest of the family's as possible. The pie is in the fridge cooling now.

Don't forget to stop by my store this weekend-the sales are already set so you can actually stop by now if you like! I have 10-75% off all items in the store. I'm also have a sale at Divine as well. Everything is marked down. And if you want it all, I'm still running my Buy the Store promotion. With the 10% mark down that means you can get everything at KKD for just $22.50!!!! Take advantage now before I come to my senses.

Here's the freebie. It's a great overlay I made this fall. I've used it several times in my ads. I just love it. I hope you do too! You can download it here.
