Tractor Kit Freebie

If you're a freebie addict like me, your digital scrapping supplies are overwhelming your computer. DH and I have decided we need to look into getting me an external hard drive to keep my digital supplies on, since they are taking up so much space on the computer. It will be very useful too when we finally get a laptop. I'll easily be able to go from the computer to the laptop with my files.

I don't know when I became such a computer geek. I know a lot of woman that can't wait to come out and buy the latest fashions. I'm much more into getting a better digital camera, a laptop, or some new software. I guess I've never been very good at being a girly girl. I guess that explains all the power tools in the basement with my name on them...lol. Oh well, it's what makes me, me.

On to the freebie! Well, I finished my tractor kit today. And that was after over an hour of unzip freebie files and organizing them into my scrap folders. I should be working on my spring books and the layouts I'm doing for my best friend, but so far this weekend neither has happened. I'm really hoping John will take Gianni and go grocery shopping tomorrow and give me some alone time. I know that won't happen, but it sure sounds good!

Okay, here's the kit. It is divided into two downloads, so make sure you get them both!

Click here for part 1 and here for part 2.



I hope the fact that I did red and green tractors pleases all those died tractor collectors out there. I know my best friend's household is divided between John Deere lovers and Massey Ferguson lovers. Personally, I have no preference. I just know that Gianni loves tractors of all shapes, sizes, and colors. One of these days I'll actually get his layout done. That is if I ever get caught up with everything else!

St. Patrick's Day Treat Topper Freebie

True to my word here's my freebie. I decided to make up a St. Patrick's Day treat bag topper. It fits a regular zip top sandwich bag. You get the template as well as the completed topper below. I hope you like them. I'm not a St. Pat's drinker, so I'll have to stick to the chocolate in a treat topper :)

Sorry to be MIA...freebie coming this weekend

Sorry to be lost in action this week. I've just been exhausted and Gianni hasn't taken a nap all week! I think dealing with a cranky toddler has worn me out. I have also spent my nightly computer time updated my beginning reader website- www.emergentreaders.net. I wanted to update the pricing on the complete sets. I'm almost done. I just have to add the winter books that didn't make it on there for some reason. Then I'll be ready to finish my spring collection to get that up sometime in the next week or too. Editing the html hasn't been any big deal just tedious. I don't know how my hubbie does it. I'd much rather be scrapping.

Well, I have to go finish making Gianni spaghetti. Apparently it's the only thing he wants to eat today. Picky toddlers. Oh boy!

So check back later in the weekend. I'll have a freebie. Not sure what it's going to be. I just know I really want there to be one!

Brag Book Freebie and Wintry Wonders Album

I can't believe how exhausted I am and it's only Tuesday. I'm definitely going to bed after this post. Gianni hasn't taken a nap for his father the last two days, so when I get home from work the kid is exhausted and cranky. Not fun!

Well, I finished my Brag Book album for Wintry Wonders. It's now available to my blog readers for $.99. You can click the link below or on the sidebar. The pages are 4x6, perfect for brag books or a card. They were really fun to do. I really am pleased with how they turned out.

I really have to get back to scrapping this week. I feel like I'm really falling behind. My best friend is giving me pics of her daughter to scrap. That should be fun. Gives me a chance to do some girly layouts for a change. It will be a new change of pace from the little boy pages I'm used to cranking out. I'll finally be able to use some of those great girl themed freebies I've been collecting.

Okay, here's the preview picture of the album pages. You get all ten in the kit.

Today's freebie is a page from the album kit. It's one of my favs. I like how the background makes it seem like it's snowing and the wild tear action from Atomic Cupcake makes the snow on the ground. I liked the effect.

Click the preview or here to download the freebie.




Okay, I'm off to make finishing touches on the blog for tonight and then off to bed. I did want to tell everyone to make sure to download the previous freebies before they're gone. I'm going to slowly remove the old ones.

March Madness Hoop Kit Freebie

Well, the weekend hasn't turned out exactly as I planned. Gianni hasn't felt like himself all weekend. Yesterday he barely ate and had the worst meltdowns/temper tantrums ever. So I didn't get much computer time. I was able to get this layout done using a recent freebie template from Scrappin Thomsen's blog.



I really like how it turned out. It's G wearing daddy's glasses. He's at the stage where he's starting to pretend. It's really cute.

I had intended on working more on the tractor kit I started the other day. (Thanks for all the great feedback, by the way.) I also intended on working on making a bragbook album using Wintry Wonders. I did start it, but somehow I got sidetracked and started a basketball kit instead of finishing my other projects. The Hoops Kit is today's freebie. I figured it's almost March Madness time and lots of moms out there probably have kids' basketball photos to scrap, so I figured I'd give it a whirl. I really like how some of the papers turned out. It's fun to keep experimenting. Just so there aren't any copyright questions, the images used were purchased for commerical use and are used under license.

Here's a preview of the kit. You can click the photo or this link to download.

Woohoo! It's Friday and a great tractor themed freebie

I'm so glad it's Friday. I've really been looking forward to this weekend, because it's the first weekend my hubbie has had off since the beginning of the year. He's had to work at least one day if not two days of every weekend since early January. Hopefully we'll get to have some quality family time. I'm not really sure what he has in mind. It would be nice just to spend some time altogether.

I am so behind on my layouts it isn't even funny. Since I got bitten with the design bug, I haven't done many layouts at all. I really need to get caught up again. I intended to start scrapping tonight, but I got thinking about making a tractor kit. I have looked and looked at digital sites for a tractor/farm kit to use to scrap pics of Gianni on Grandpa's tractor. This kid loves, loves, loves tractors. It was one of his first words. Since, I haven't found a kit with a tractor I liked I decide I guess I'll have to make my own. So tonight I've been playing around. I have two papers down, and I've been using Atomic Cupcakes actions to make some cute tractor elements. I decided my freebie for the day would be those tractors.

Here is the preview. You get 6 tractors in all. One plastic, one painted metal, one felt, one wood, one rusty, and one copper. Click here to download or click the preview below.

Maybe I'll get some layouts done this weekend. I sure hope so! Don't forget to check out my kit in yesterday's post. It's for sale for $.99.
