I feel like I should send out some big thanks to so many people today! First of all, thanks to everyone who entered the Grab Bag Challenge. I loved seeing the layouts you all did with my mini-kit. Congratulations to you all! You did an amazing job. Secondly, I'd like to thank all the ladies who have posted my freebies on their blogs. It has brought so much traffic to my blog lately.

Denim and Dirt: Denim Frames Released...Last Chance to submit Grab Bag Entries

Well, I was able to finish my denim frames today. Gianni and I also went to my mom's for my grandmother's 89th birthday! I can't believe she's 89. I kind of have us all frozen at a certain age.

Here's a preview of the frame set.



It includes 11 frames. It has filmstrips, polaroids, and cluster frames. Not all of them are embellished. They coordinate with the Denim and Dirt Kit, but can be used in any layout. They're available now on my design page for $.99. Click here to visit my design page for all my element sets and kits.

One last reminder for anyone planning on submitting a grab bag entry. The challenge ends tomorrow. I will be picking my winners tomorrow evening. Check back here for the winners!

Denim and Dirt Add-on Freebie

I was going to work on a 40th anniversary album this weekend, but I haven't had much luck finding a great kit to work with yet. If anyone knows of one, please leave me the link in the comment section. I could use all the help I can get. Thankfully the anniversary is in June, so I'm not pressed for time yet!

Since I couldn't find a kit to use, I decided to work on another Denim and Dirt add-on. I'm working on a set of denim frames and slides. It will include filmstrip slides, polaroid frames, and cluster frames. Today's freebie is one of the cluster frames. I hope to have the set done soon.

New Denim and Diamond- Pink Denim Polaroid Freebie

Okay, here's the latest freebie. It's going to be part of the Denim and Diamond kit. It's an embellished polaroid type frame. Here's the preview.



A special thanks to Atomic Cupcake for her actions used in making the flowers and thanks to Monica Larsen for her ribbon action. Remember this freebie is for personal use only.

More submission layouts

The week back from break is going quickly. I had planned on staying up and working last night, but instead I went to bed at 8. Hopefully tonight I'll be awake enough to get some things done. I have a freebie I want to post, so check back tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll have something new for you.

Here's the latest submissions for the Grab Bag Challenge. Remember it runs until the 30th, so you still have time to enter. My favorite three layouts win the complete Denim and Dirt kit and everyone that participates gets a special Denim and Dirt add-on.

Girl Patch Freebie....Grab Bag Challenge Update

I'm really enjoying the last day of my vacation. I'm glad they added on an extra day because of surplus snow days. The weather is beautiful. Gianni and I just came inside from blowing bubbles. He was really cute. I'll try to post a pic later. He chased the bubbles all over the yard. I'm not sure yet if I caught any bubbles in the pictures or not. That's a hard one to capture, especially when you're the bubble blower and the photographer!

The idea for my next kit came to me yesterday when I was trying to get Gianni to sleep. I'm not sure why but inspiration hit me. I've decided my next kit is going to be Denim and Diamonds. Today's freebie is a result of this mornings design time. I'm working on a set of girl patches similar to the boy version for last week.

Here's a preview of the freebie.

Since I'm getting such great entries for the grab bag challenge, I'm working an exclusive Denim and Dirt add-on that will be given to each person who submits an entry. So please keep them coming! Here are the latest submissions.

Zipper Frame Freebie and more Challenge Layouts

It looks like 4shared is back up and running now. I bet that had a lot of very unhappy folks out there yesterday. That's what nice about having a hubbie with his own web design business, we have our own server. It gives me options of where to post things.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be getting such great entries for the grab bag challenge. I have enjoyed them all. I definitely have my work cut out for me come the 30th. I'm thinking I may have to do something special for everyone that enters.

Here's the latest round of submissions. Aren't they great?



It puts me in a giving mood! Here's another freebie from the Denim and Dirt Kit. It's a zipper frame. I have to say this was inspired by BeagleSnoopy's layout she sent me using my zipper freebies. Thanks again for that inspiration!

Here's a preview of the freebie. You can download it here.
