Some Pages & Quick Page - Freebie

Good Evening, Folks;

It's been a while since I gave you something or shared some of the pages I've created so I thought I would do that this evening.

First lets get the freebie out of the way. This is a quick page I made back in June.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/g2m3zjndinj/btmo_june28_qp.zip

And here are a few of the pages I've made.

This is Grandpa, Big Ray, Grandma & Me (Mom), done in rock drawings by Tyler.


This is the intro page to my 8 x 8 album for 2010.











It's been a long day so I am off to dream land.
Enjoy your download and your day.

We're Sick! Yippee!

Good Evening, Everyone.

The other day I mentioned that our family hadn't been sick yet this season. I am happy to say that we finally are, yippee! I know that may sound strange being happy that we are sick but I like getting it out of the way LOL We only have colds; runny, stuffy noses and coughs. It never fails, when I mention stuff like that it comes around. Okay, who's the fly on the wall?

Here is a layout I made with parts of Abbey.


I have a few more layout I did which I'll share sometime tomorrow when I post up a couple of more freebies. I am a bit on the exhausted side tonight so I won't chat you all up any further.

Enjoy your day.

CeeCee Quick Page - Freebie

Afternoon, All!

I hope all you Mother's out there had a fab weekend! It sure was heaven here LOL
I got a hibiscus from the boys called sunny wind, two cards and brunch in bed. We visited our Mother's in which both had parties going on. We had a blast for Mother's Day.

I was able to get another quick page done. This is one page from a set I did for my cousins daughter, CeeCee, short for Cecilia. She is such a sweetie. This is her having fun at her 2nd birthday party. Her third is coming up shortly.

Here is the preview of the quick page.

With Love Quick Page - Freebie

Good Evening, Everyone!

It's overtime between Pit and Wash with a tie of 3-3 and I wanted to get this to you before midnight as I was able to finish another quick page for you all today.
My mother loves swans so when we happened upon two nesting mothers this morning I took several photos. This is one of them.


In the background the father is rushing to get to his mate to protect her in case we may want to cause her harm. Lady does that to the waterfowl even if she is far enough away LOL

The beautiful flowers I used in this quick page are from Lynette's Photo Art.
The lace I used for the framing is from Gunhild Storeide.
These two terrific ladies offer free resources.

And here is your preview...

Happy Mother's Day Qucik Page - Freebie

Happy Mother's Day, Ladies!

Are you ready to relax and enjoy the servitude. It's always that way here on Mother's Day. I do not have to do a blessed thing. No cooking, no cleaning, no laundry, no mowing the lawn, no sweeping the front porch, no watering the lawn, no shopping, no dishes, nada, nil, zip LOL I hope you will have the same, cause you deserve it! I love being a Mom!
I also get to visit my Mother, bless her soul, I love you Mom! See you Sunday!
And we will be visiting, Joe's Mother, too.

I spoke with my Mother today and asked her if I could use one of her pics for a quick page for you all. "No close ups", was her request, "I like my privacy. And pic one from when I was young" Okay, Mother. I hope this pic is cool with you.

My Mother use to be a camp councilor at Camp Bolton. This is a pic of my Mother, the tallest lady, her assistant, and two of her charges (children she took care of), out in front of their cabin.

Here is a preview of the quick page.

Wish You All
The Happiest of Mother's Day's.
May your day be filled with Love!

A Mother's Moment Quick Pages - Freebie

Good Morning, Everyone!

I had the opportunity to download a fantastic mega kit yesterday created by some of the folks from Stuff to Scrap. It's called A Mother's Moment and it's filled with all kinds of goodies.
Do you know this place? It's a fairly brand new place created by Nicole Parker of Digi Designs by Nicole. It has a store, a blog and a forum where you can have tons of fun. If you're into Speed Scraps then you just have to drop in to the Stuff to Scrap forum and have a blast. It's fun and it's easy and you may even get a surprise :)

After I downloaded A Mother's Moment I knew I had to make some quick pages with it. I only made two so far but the possibilities are literally endless and I will probably create more when I can.
I contacted Nicole and asked her for permission to allow me the opportunity to share these quick pages with you all and she was very pleased and agreed to allow it. If you haven't picked up this mega kit yet I suggest you do. You will not be disappointed. You can start by going to this post on Nicole's blog where you will find the list of all the participants.

Here is one of the pages I created with Joe and Lady taking in the scene at the lake.

And here is the preview of both. Both are available in the one download.

Click on the image to download.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and don't forget to drop into the Stuff to Scrap Forum and have a blast of fun and meet some terrific people.

Enjoy your download and your day.

Day Tripper Quick Page - Freebies

Edit: Password has been corrected. It was listed as park when in fact it is parks. Thank you, Vaybs, for alerting me to this error.

This last one is of Lady and it's called Day Tripper because her and Joe trip to a different park everyday. They have friends everywhere :)
I used a meadow type theme I created and I wanted the meadow scene to stand out so its rather page filling.

This is Lady at two of the parks she goes to.



I had 4 images to work with, 3 in one direction and one in another, so I made two separate layouts with a bit of difference in each.

Click on image to download.

Please remember that I password protect all my zip files. You will find the password in the conversation up above. Please remember to write it down or swipe it and save it as you will need it to unzip the files.

Well I am pooped. It's now 2:30 in the morning and I have to get up a 7 am to get Tyler ready and off to school.

Thank you for taking the time to read all these posts and I hope you find something you like in them.

Enjoy your downloads and your day.

Mother Quick Pages - Freebies

1 more after this... :)

For some reason I just couldn't get this layout going and ended up doing 3 pages, still without satisfaction. I can't recall where I was going with the first one but it started with a picture of my Mother-In-Law. We usually give roses to our Mothers on her special day so I thought a change of flowers would be nice for a layout.


All the pages were made using the collab kit "Country Life" created by A Work in Progress and Sweet Blossom Designs. Again I didn't do the kit justice :)

The download is rather large I bundled all 3 pages into one zip file. approx. 60mb

Click on either image to download.

Please remember that I password protect all my files. You will find the password in the above conversation. Please remember to write it down or swipe it and save it as you will need it to unzip the files.

Okay, I have one more for you and then I have to call it a night. :)

SpringTime Quick Page - Freebie

Hello again, 2 down 2 to go... :)

For some reason I wanted to make this one on a rather large scale. Perhaps it was because I wanted the geese images to be more visible on the page, I can't remember. But here they are, two quick pages.


These pages were made using the kit called Easter Blessings by Nicole from NBK Designs. I truly didn't do the kit justice here. Thank you Nicole :) Go to her site and check it out.

Rainy Days Quick Page - Freebie

It is rather late, 1:30 in the morning, so I am just going to post these all rather hurriedly, without much conversation in each, sorry to be so abrupt. :)

I have been working on a few layouts and finally got some done.

This first one is from the 19th of April in which we took a stroll along the beach. It was quiet the foggy stroll. I kept the layout rather simple as fog gives the 'lack of' feeling since it's hard to see more then a few yards.



The two elements, the fish and anchor, are from the kind ladies at PST Designs in which they have a blog called the Water Lo Project which has lots of elements to use in your layouts.

Click on image to download.

Please remember that I password protect all my zip files. You will find the password in the conversation above. Please remember to either write it down or swipe it and save for you will need it to unzip the files.

I'll be back in just a bit with some more quick pages for you.

In the Green Quick Page - Freebies

I woke up at 2:30 am and I haven't a clue what woke me or why I couldn't go back to sleep. I tried. If I can't fall back to sleep in 15 minutes I get up do some relaxing exercises and try again. But it didn't work LOL. Everyone else is sound a sleep and the entire neighborhood is so quiet. With nothing really to do I decided to finish off a couple of layouts.

This is our pup Lady and she just loves to scratch her back, whether it be on a nice bush or as seen here, on a good patch of weedy grass. She looks so funny when she does it too that I just had to snap a couple of shot of her.


Because I took a couple of shots of Lady, one in vertical and one in horizontal, I made two layouts. So today, if you like them and decide to download them, you will get both directional views in the zip file which is approximately 17mb. The font I used for Lady is called Big Apple.

It's In The Stars - Freebie

You may recall the quick page I made a few days ago with Tyler and his godfather at Christmas in a post below. Well how you would like to download it and use it for your pictures? Yes! Sweet! Then your wish is granted!

Ashley from Dreams Fulfilled has graciously allowed me to offer it to you all, for free. I told you she was a wonderful person :) She is such a charm that she has even allowed me to offer you more as I make them. Isn't that super? I think it's fantastic. Thank you ever so much, Ashley. mwah
Drop by her blog and get some of her fabulous freebies to make your own pages too and leave her some love.

So without further ado, here is your free quick page.

Kindred Hue - Freebie

Mom brought lots of family pictures so I will be so busy creating so many scrapbooking pages for the next few months. Add to that Joe's Mom's pictures when they arrive and I may be done by Christmas. LOL I would like to create as many pages as possible with stuff that I can create but whew I only have so much time in a day so you can bet that I will be digging into many scrap folders of those who have been so graciously kind in sharing and pulling out what works with the photo I will be working on.

I have to keep in mind which scrapbook folks won't let me share the scrapbooking pages I create with their stuff now too so I won't use their stuff.
I was reading a blog this evening and that was mentioned. It was the first time I heard of it. Kind of goes against the grain, really. Why bother to offer a freebie then.
Mind you I always ask for permission before I share what I create anyway, even if it's already in the T.O.U.'s. Some folks just like to know what's going on with their stuff and I personally like to tell them. And I always leave my name and I use Google. How is the person suppose to contact me if I don't tell them who I am or even where they can find me LOL.

Any way, it's getting late and I am bushed. So without further ado, here is you free layout for today, Kindred Hue.

Kindred Hue - Layout

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and the kids collected all their goodies. The day here was wonderful and our get together was very pleasant. Tyler got a few toys and just a few chocolates and other candies. We are not to big on the 'junk food' stuff in our home.

Mom brought some old photos she wants me to make some scrap pages with and Joe's Mom seems pretty interested in doing so too. I thought I would be totally off the computer today but once Joe's Mom heard about the scrapbooking pages I make they both pulled me into the den after dinner so I could show her what it was all about. Joe's Mom had never heard of digital scrapbooking before and she was amazed. I went from start to near finished to show her what can be done. I think she is hooked LOL. This is the page we began creating today. Unfortunately they all had to leave before it was completely done as I did everything from scratch but they did see the results below except for the title.
Then of course I had to go about creating it in the way to share it with all of you tonight, creating the zip, etc. and finally it's all done. Tomorrow I will print it and give Mom her copy.


Unfortunately the men were left pretty much to themselves, in the garage, talking about Joe's motorcycle, cars, you know men's stuff, while Tyler and the boys played hockey in front of the house, so there is a great lack of pictures for today.

Oh yes, the layout. The picture is of my oldest brother Bertie at 17, my older brother Eddie at 8, and that's me in the high chair. We are having breakfast. My younger sister wasn't born yet but she was already thought of because Mom says I am 3 in this photo. I did have an older sister but she pasted away at 3 yrs old.

Well I am going to make another post and give you all this layout for a download, if you would like it.

It's In The Stars - Layout

Happy Easter, Everyone!

I know it's really early, or late in the day (depending on where in the world you are), but we have not felt tired enough to go to sleep just yet. We had a super fantastic day at my brothers. We got home around 8 pm, walked Lady till 9 pm, Tyler went to bed at 10 pm and we put out his Easter treats at 11 pm. Then Joe and I got to talking and then he wanted to play a game so I thought it a good idea to go about creating a quick page. It's now 2 am and we are just starting to feel a bit sleepy but not sleepy enough. What better time to show you what I created.

I was wondering if any of you have met Ashley. Ashley has the blog Dreams Fulfilled. Ashley is another one of those wonderful people which I have had the chance to greet in the scrap booking world. Ashley offers a wonderful selection of scrap book items in which you can create your own layouts with. It was in my search for boy scrap items that I met Ashley. Tonight I wanted to make a layout with this image and so I looked into Ashley's files and worked with several items from her assortment that I had gathered to create the following layout. What do you think?

This is Tyler and his Godfather Ken at Christmas this year.


Except for the sparkly stars, everything in this layout was made by Ashley. The sparkly stars I made by using Ashley's star and applying the plug-in filter Alien Skin Xenofex Constellation. It is great for making sparkly stars on any design. And what is a Christmas layout without sparkly stars LOL.
If you get the chance, head on over to Ashley's blog and say hello. You won't be disappointed. You will always find useful scrap book items there.

Well I best be heading off to bed. Tyler will be up before I know it searching for all his goodies
and there is nothing like a tired cook on Easter Day LOL.

Happy Easter!
Enjoy your day.

Sweet Baby Boy Layout - Freebie

Good Evening, All. I hope you all had an enjoyable day. It was pretty windy here today but otherwise an enjoyable sunny day.

I spent some time today finishing up a layout I started a few weeks ago. I figure I should show you something that I actually created myself, so to speak. LOL This is our son Tyler at 2 months old.The flowers are a brush made by Green-Eyed Butterfly and the unicorn is from a font called Celtic Astrologer. The bracket frame was also made from a font. The frame around Tyler is one I cut out from an old photo my parents have. The background paper is from a scanned piece of paper I did a while back and used as an overlay. The rest is just my creativity at work.

I thought I would share this layout with you tonight. If you like it please feel free to download it. It's free :)

I also have a bonus for you which I will post on it's own.

Please keep in mind that all my zips are password protected. You can find the password for this file in the conversation above. Please remember to either write it down or swipe it and save it.

Freebie - Rebecca Layout

I am a bit sad :(
I appear to be having an issue with Google's Friend Connect and I can't figure it out nor is there any help on the subject.
When I go to the sites I follow my little image is no longer in the Follow list. If I click Follow a pop up comes up and says 'The site owner has blocked me'. When I go into my dashboard to manage the blogs I follow and click the settings I get an error telling me to try again later. This has been happening all day so later is long gone hours ago. I won't believe that every site I follow has blocked me.
I am hoping it's a widget error because I haven't changed any settings that I am aware of. Still I am sad :(
If anyone out there knows a solution to this please let me know so I can fix it or something.

But let this not spoil your day because I want to at least keep your spirits up by offering you all the layout you seen in the previous posting. Rebecca has so graciously given me permission to share this layout with you. Thank you, Rebecca! mwah
Don't forget to drop by her site.

But before I do that I just have to tell you that my Joe is such a sweetie. Since it's the weekend and he knows that this is what we call a 'child free' weekend in which we can basically relax, he did me the honors of making dinner. He is an excellent cook but time was running short and his tummy was growling. So I suggested pulling out one of those quick dinners we have in the freezer. They only take 20 minutes on the stove and when its done you get a tasty beefstew meal that is just as good as homemade. It's perfect for two. To top it off, he bought some Heineken on his way home to enjoy a few while watching the hockey game. I was a bit shocked as Joe isn't much of a drinker and I rarely drink if ever myself, but he says to me "Come on, hon, just have one. You deserve it" LOL So here I sit with a beer I will never finish giving you my final posting for today.

Click on the image to download.

Well that's it for me this evening. I am going to go a watch some hockey and nestle with my Joe.

Freebie - Julia Layout Two

I want to thank all of you who have downloaded my very first Julia layout. You are all very kind. I am quiet thrilled with the response as it is my first gift to a community of people who have showed me so much kindness in sharing and communicating. There is a great bond in this community and I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful group of people. mwah

In honor of Mandy's kindness, your kindness and all the kindness in which I am so grateful to have received, I wish to offer you another free download of not only the layout in my previous post, of which the photo was taken on our trip to P.E.I. in july1997 with the lobster in it, but also one without it. And as a bonus the lobster, as a separate png file, for you to use in your other layouts.

Please keep in mind, I am not a professional. I am what one may call a newbie to all this graphic creativity. If you find my work could improve in any area please do not hesitate to leave me a comment or a note in the Shout Box. I believe it is always good to learn something new every day and I am more then willing to listen to any input that could better this new skill of which I am learning.

This is what I am offering you in this freebie.

Tyler has gone off to his grannies, DH has gone off to work, the dog has been walked, so it's time for me to take a nice relaxing bath & listen to some nice relaxing music before heading off to bed.

My Second Layout with the Julia Kit

It has been raining all day and I finished all my housework in an hour and I was left with nothing to do but play. And play I did, with Mandy's Julia kit again.
I just love this kit. It's one of my favorites. I do have a few other favorites and I will eventually share some layouts I will be creating with them. But for now let me show you what I did today.


This is my sweetheart, Joe. The image I used is of him on the ferry as we head into Prince Edward Island during our East Coast Vacation. Now a days one can just drive on over.
In this layout I added a lobster I made. East Coasters love lobster and crab and use the two as symbols for a variety of tourist attractions.

I actually did two of these layouts; one with the lobster and one without.

Well I'll let you all go as Tyler just came in from his friends and I have to do a few things for him before he heads out to his grannies for the weekend and Joe will be up soon too. I'll have the entire weekend to play at creating some more layout and with Joe LOL.

Enjoy your day & your weekend.

My First Layout

For the past few days, as time has allowed, I began working on creating a few layouts with Mandy's Julia kit. After putting Tyler to bed tonight I finally finished one. This one is of Bella, my niece's dog. She is a Pomeranian Teacup and only 6 months old. She is so cute.

What do you think of my first layout? All suggestions are welcome.

I made a quick page of it. Do you think it's worth a download? If so, leave me a comment in my shout box and I will ask Mandy for permission.

It's almost time for me to hit the hay, (so to speak) so I will say, Good Night, Sleep Well.

Regards
Pat
