Remembering Nicole

Today is the one and a half year anniversary of my niece, Nicole, joining Jesus in Heaven. So hard to believe that it has been this long, as the memories and pain of her absence are still fresh as if it was just yesterday. I purchased Valerie Hurly's Plumbago kit and made the QP for a Quick Page Exchange at GoDigitalScrapbooking.com. It seemed just perfect for scrapping Nicole.
I have also re-uploaded the link for the pearl bracelet freebie. Thanks Christina for your beautiful comment and alerting me that the link wasn't working. As long as I have storage space on my 4-shared account I will leave the freebies up. Please let me know if any of you encounter problems so I can fix it for you.

Vintage Victorian Baby Kit Is Now DONE and a Freebie too!!!

Oh my goodness! You want to hear a good one! This kit was supposed to be called "Vintage Baby" but I made all the previews say "Victorian Baby". I am definitely having a senior moment. It would be too much to go back and redo all those previews so I am going to call it "Vintage Victorian Baby". LOL!!! I finally got it done!!! This has been an intense labor-of-love for me because of my brand new granddaughter and now a new grandson too! Woo Hoo!! Babies are raining down from heaven! Here are the previews for this GIGANTIC MEGA KIT!

Now please allow me to be a gushing grandma! Here is a picture of my new grandson, Nickoli Edward, born October 5th! Lots of grandchildren to scrap pages for now! Nickoli makes #5!!!

Isn't he just adorable!!!

And how about a freebie!!! I am going to put a condition on this freebie though. Being new to designing I NEED some feedback in the way of comments so I know whether to keep them coming or just give up. LOL! I would eventually like to sell in a store when I am good enough. The Quick Pages were downloaded 219 times at the last count but I only received 11 comments (thank you to those 11 wonderfully kind people). I felt like throwing in the towel. :(

I do enjoy making these for my own pics and layouts, but I don't really need to offer them as freebies unless I know that this is something you truly appreciate. It doesn't take long to leave a simple thank you or word of encouragement as you download, as it took MANY hours for me to make them. Well, enough preaching...I will have to see if this works. So without further ado...here is the link to a freebie. A pair of silk embroidered booties. I love these! Let me know what YOU think

Some More Layouts of Rilyn

Here are some more layouts of Rilyn! She is only a week old and I already have 6 layouts done for her. A new grandbaby is a good inspiration for churning out the layouts. LOL! The first song that plays when you click onto my blog is a song that I sang to my son Weston as a lullaby when he was just a baby. My how the time flies! Just ask him and he will tell you that it is my favorite song. I dedicate it to my children and now my grandchildren too! In my heart they will always be, "Forever Young".

I made these quick pages for DigiSkrapNMomma using her "Seeds of Summer" kit several months ago and had never used them yet. I received these pics of Rilyn in that adorable hat and dress and then I knew instantly that they belonged together!

Look for DigiSkrapNMomma's blog in the right sidebar. If you are interested in purchasing this kit, she sells exclusively at Divine Digital. It's even on sale right now for only $2!!! I just love the gorgeous rich colors of this kit!

And this is another layout made with my "Victorian Baby" kit.

New Granddaughter is here!

And here is the first family portrait of Daniel and Andrea with Rilyn! Congratulations Daniel and Andrea, you two made a gorgeous little girl together and now the fun of watching her grow begins! She is a blessed addition to our family!!!

New Granddaughter

Our new granddaughter, Rilyn Marie, was born this past Tuesday morning! She is so beautiful and TINY! My smallest baby weighed in at 7lbs 12oz and here she is at only 6lbs 5oz. So now I finally get to put my new kit "Victorian Baby" to use. I have used 2 of the Quick Pages that I gave to you as freebies in my previous posts. I am sure that you will be seeing many more layouts of this darling, precious, beautiful baby!!!



I am not blogging very often right now as I am staying SUPER busy at work. I am working a lot of overtime and most likely will be until the end of October. I will be handing out pieces of this kit to you as my free-time will allow.



Here is a freebie for you! This is the pearl bracelet embellishment that I have used in some of the quick pages. It is for PERSONAL USE ONLY! I just love this and I hope you enjoy it!! Click here to download it.

Vintage Baby Quick Pages

I have been having fun working on a new kit that I am calling "Vintage Baby". What with having 2 new grandbabies on the way and due in just a few weeks, I am excited to be working on baby stuff! The kit just keeps growing and growing. I have made 6 quick pages now from it and I will be sharing those with you. By the end of the month I hope to have pics of Rylen to work with. She is due at the end of the month! I hope you enjoy these pages and please leave a comment for me.

Here is the link!
