Free Friday

Today is a great day. A very great incredibly special day...
Today is the day Shelly and Chris return from Euthiopia with their son Jalen. Can't wait to meet you little guy! Cooper and Emmitt have a lot they want to teach you.


Free Friday will be moved to Saturday in celebration of National Scrapbooking Day! Please stop back Saturday for a new file as well as a BIG giveaway!

In the meantime...head on over to the 3Birds blog to check out our new design team!

and this is why we scrapbook...

PHOTOS LIKE THIS!

OMG! It's so bad, it's funny. I spit pop when I saw this download off my camera.

Thank you family. You make me laugh.

No Sketch Today

I am WAY too busy with life and projects once again. There really should be a universal law that soccer season and baseball should never, ever overlap. Overlaps cause mothers' of three to go gray at a much earlier than expected age.

I can however share a page a made a few months ago trying a new technique. I had been seeing microbeads popping up here and there in galleries. Everytime I perused the Martha section at Michael's, the little colorful containers were calling out to me. I finally caved, used my coupon and bought a multipack. Eye candy all the way.
12 Pk Microbeads (Martha Stewart)

I read a quick tutorial by Katy Watson (wonderful blog by the way if you love projects and banners!) Microbeads are as easy as glitter but much cooler and dimensional. Here is what I made... I covered the chipboard with paint (or mist) first and then glossy accents and microbeads. The effect up close in person is stunning. I really need to bring the beads out again for some fun spring and summer pages.


Back later this week. Hopefully with some more projects to share.

Joining the Soup!

I completely forgot that yesterday was the official announcement of the Jillibean In House Team! Check our welcome post here. Jill already has me working on a mini album project for an upcoming class. You should see all the goodies that came in the mail for me this week! I am so excited to be joining such an amazing team of people!

Free Friday #11

Friday is here again. Two new sets were released at TwoPeas this week...Six frames plus outlines for only $4! It is a bargain if you think of how many ways they could be used over and over again!


Here is another frame shape for you today. I used this shape for this page using the April Mosh Posh kit.






For Silhouette Users...I for the life of me cannot get RoboMaster to convert my file to GSD. It could be a problem with the DXF. If I do get it figured out, I will add it to the link list. Sorry...
