Suzi & Anon

Just popping in for a spell to address a couple of issues.

1. Anonymous the passwords for any zip file offered here is always in red. If you are coloured blind this may be a problem. The password for CeeCee is party.

I thought about the blindness issues the other day and decided that all future passwords would be in bold letters. (never two words and never in capitals)

2. Suzi I got your email. Check yours in the am tomorrow. I'll send them out later tonight after I put Tyler to bed.

Download issues can happen to any one, including myself.
Recently my gf sent me to a file to download which I did and the file showed it was 48+mb. I scanned it with my virus protection software and then proceeded to unzip it and poof win zip claimed it was a bad file. I told my gf and she resent it and viola it unzipped.
Just this morning I also got another file and the download was intermittent (having breaks in the download). Thou the end file was good it left me wondering what was going on. I noticed a great fluctuation in download speeds too. Once I changed browsers I had no issues. I usually use Firefox but IE was my hero this morning LOL.

I also had problems with Blogger this morning. The site was suppose to go down at 2am and it usually lasts for about an hour thou they claim 10 minutes. This morning I went to publish the comments and it claimed the site was down. I checked with Marie at DigiFree and she too was having issues, with Google.
The outage is now posted for tonight at 2 am. I'll be in dreamland by then LOL

Firefox and Google. Perhaps the two are just too tightly fitted together. LOL

I am off to be with my men for a while.

Thanks for reading this post I hope it helped.

Enjoy your day.

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.

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.

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.

NSBD - Fantastic Weekend

Good Morning, Everyone!

Did you have a fantastic NSBD? I sure did. I had so much fun. I spent about 100 bucks, tried my hand at a few challenges and met some really cool people. I didn't get to blog hop much because...
I spent the rest of my free time outside. It was a gorgeous weekend. The temperature was ideal.

This morning I did some blog hopping and found out I missed out on some terrific blog trains while a few others are just beginning.

Have you checked them out yet.

There is
Country Hollow Creations - Spring Fever
Faith Sisters- It's for the Birds
ADSD - Sunshine Beach
Ginger Scraps - Modern Mommy
Stuff to Scrap - A Mother's Moments
And I am sure there are more of them out there.

I also read some good news and some bad news

First the bad news...

Pamela from Digi Treats will be retiring. I was so sad when I read this. Still sad by it. I will miss her greatly. I hope she returns. Unfortunately no one can contact her and I just bet thousands would be trying. She will be greatly missed by many :(

And the good news....

Mandy from Mandy Made Digi Bits has joined a store and will be selling her kits. Ye haw! Fantastic. You go girl! Best wishes to you on your new endeavor :)

And LouCee has also decided to join a store and start selling her kits. Ye haw, again! LouCee is also a hybrid scrapper and very well known for her creative talents. You go girl, too :)
On a sad note thou, LouCee's Lenny passed away. Lenny is one of her poodles. It broke my heart. I know how much she adores her pups. And I had been following Lenny's sad story.
Very sorry for your lost, gf :(

I only hopped into a few blogs and forums this morning but I am sure there is tons more going on in Scrap Land. I'll try to catch up more later. Right now I am going to give my eyes a break, venture out into this beautiful day and enjoy it for a while.

Enjoy your day.

Lake Path Quick Page and Alpha - Freebie

Happy (Inter) National Scrapbooking Weekend, Everyone!!

It's going to be a fantastic weekend. I hope you are all excited and join in on the fun, because there is fun to be had on every scrapbooking site. Forums are going to be rocking the servers.

I had attempted, twice this morning, to upload 2 files to Media Fire and they both failed to verify, twice. I was so disappointed that I couldn't get this to you all. I finally gave up after waiting a 1/2 hour with no verification in site. But they are up now and verified so let me get this to you.

As many of those who live in Ontario know it's been raining the last couple of days. I was kind of thankful for the rain because it meant I didn't have to do one of the things I was suppose to do. This left me with some time on my hands. Extra time means FUN.
I sat down at the computer, opened my trusty graphics program and began making a quick page and then I thought, lets take this to another level. So I separated all the parts of the quick page and put it all into a mini kit, with an alpha, so you could make pages too. Of course I got carried away and made several papers too LOL By the time I was done I had made 335 mb of stuff. WOW. How was I going to get all that to you. So I had to go back and think it over.

Here is what I came up with....

Watch This spot!!!
As I add the files I will underline the downloads below.

May 1, Today you will be able to download the quick page and alpha.

May 2, Tomorrow I will give you the elements and the paper that made up the quick page so you can make your own.

May 3, I will give you some papers and the second set of elements.

May 4th, I will give you papers and more papers.

There is no password to these files.

Here are the views :)

My Layout.

The Quick Page.

The Mini Kit

I am going to try to upload the other files asap.

Don't forget to drop in every day for the updated links if you want the Lake Path Mini Kit.

Thanks for reading my post today.

Enjoy your downloads and your weekend.

Happy (Inter)National Scrapbooking Weekend, Everyone!!!

Happy National ScrapBooking Day - May 3rd 2009

Howdy, All!

Sorry to be away for a bit. I have a lot of stuff to do in the next few week and have been so busy as of Monday that I haven't been able to sit down at the computer till this morning, which will last long enough to post :)

I have a break this weekend and hopefully I will get something done. I am way behind on my 365 pages and have yet to begin on Mother's projects. LOL but life is good :)

Before I forget....

THANK YOU Creative Scrappers from Around the Globe for all that you do in sharing your gifts with others. Without you there would be no National ScrapBooking Day.

Hopefully I will be around on May 3rd, National ScrapBooking Day . I would like to get some fun in during this international celebration and hopefully have some gifts for you all. It's usually a 4 day event, Friday May 1st - Monday May 4th 2009
I haven't checked in anywhere but I recall last year there was tons of play, free gifts every where, coupons galore, it was fantastic.

Oh, gotta go.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Devin Quick Page - Freebie

Good evening, Everyone!
How was your day? Good I hope.

It's been an on and off day here weather wise with rain and sunshine. I found it pretty funny weather because whenever I went outside it was nice and sunny and a few minutes later it would start to rain. I would go inside and the sun would shine, outside and it would rain. This went on all day LOL.

Tyler is in bed now and I still a few things to do before I head off to dreamland. First I want to share the quick page I mentioned earlier before I do the rest.

This quick page is part of the pages I made for Devin. The photo is of Devin finishing off his new computer, putting the cover on. Devin wanted to know as much as possible so Joe stood aside and with coaching let Devin do everything. When Devin finished and started it up Joe said Devin was ecstatic like he had conqueror the tallest mountain LOL :)
The layout is very simple. I was playing around with see threw styles and made the frame. The wrench and the magnifying glass I made a while ago for another layout which also had a hammer in it.


In the download I have included 3 quick pages. One as shown above with the tools and a heavy shadow behind the frame. The second one has a lighter frame shadow without the tools and the 3rd has no shadow and no tools. The zip size is almost 35mb.

In the preview below I have only shown the 1st and 3rd quick pages.

Click on image to download.

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

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.

Day Dreams Quick Page - Freebie

I apologize for the delay in giving you your second gift today but Blogger and Picasa appeared to be having issues and I could not load the images. So I patiently waited for an hour or so and thought I would try again after I started dinner.

It's been pretty crazy here with the cable internet company today and I fear it may all go down again. Our entire block has been out and we had neither pretty much all day. Not that I need either but Joe sleeps with the t.v. on so I had to put the radio on for him instead. Thank goodness that was still working. I really don't need the internet to work on the computer, just the power company LOL. I hope it doesn't go out again tonight as I like to nodoff with the t.v. on one of the music stations. I like it way better then the radio as it doesn't have commercials and the t.v. display goes off and leaves the room in the dark.

Well I best get to telling you about your second gift before the internet disappears. :)

This layout was made with another one of Rebecca's Scrapping Silliness kits called Day Dreams.
The tag is from another one of Rebecca's kits called Dudes and the train is from another one her kits called Little Guy. I just had to use these extra two items as they fit in so well with the picture I wanted to scrap.
Joe is an explorer of sorts. He takes Lady to a new place every day and finds some amazing scenery. This train he discovered a few days ago. I haven't a clue where it is located so I can't share that with you as I forgot to ask LOL But he wanted me to scrap it so I did.


Rebecca has so graciously given me permission to create quick pages for you all with her kits so please drop by her blog, downloads some of her free kits to make some more quick pages, and leave her some love.
So without further ado here is your second gift for today.

Good day, Everyone! I hope your day is as sunny as ours has been. It's been absolutely beautiful today. I have only dropped in for a bit as I want to finish out in the yard but I have a couple of gifts for you.

I have been working on a few quick pages in my spare time the last couple of days and finally finished up a second one this morning.

This layout was done using The Beach Kit by Rebecca's Scrapping Silliness. Drop by her blog, pick up this kit for free and leave her some love.
The image is of Devin and Lady at the beach a few weeks ago when Joe went to fix his computer. We will be visiting him this weekend and he wanted me to print out the pictures Joe took. We don't live by an ocean so I didn't add any starfish to this layout. Since I added the happy sun I had some fun with shadow effects.



Rebecca has kindly allowed me to share any quick pages I make with her kits so this quick page is just one of the gifts I have for you today.

Please remember that I password protect all my zip files. The password can be found somewhere in the conversation above. Please remember to either write it down or swipe it and save it as you will not be able to unzip the file without it.

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.
