It is Good Friday here -- so thought I would give freebie

OK, I have been having tons of fun playing with the overlays by AmyJo Smith @ TDC (click here to visit her store - her overlays are good for commercial use) and well, it is officially good friday here in NB, so I thought I would post a freebie for all. Not sure how long I will keep it up -- but at least until after Easter is over anyways :) (Happy Easter) If you want to see an upclose preview to see the textures, click here Sorry -- this freebie is no longer available -- soon to a store near you!

OOPs wanted to say thanks

Wanted to say thanks as well to all your advice on the co-sleeping thing. Oh, why is she growing up so fast -- does anyone have a magic pill to keep her little forever ;)

Is it Friday yet?

Thursdays I think are the worst for me -- so close to Friday, but not yet there. I do like them though because Elizabeth (elane) at SOTB organizes the FAB50 Sale (where a lot of designer's put a new kit and old kit at 50% off for the day) and then she is the hostess of the crop @ 10pm EST. For more info on that, click here Tonight, she also has Hip Hop Bingo! Sounds like so much fun -- a lot designers put their Easter kit on Sale 50% in conjunction with this and have donated one of the kits as prizes! I really don't know what we would do without Elizabeth - she is absolutely amazing and donates so much of her time to all of us at SOTB -- I know she has helped me out A LOT! Check out her ad, she used my Kit for it! Wooohoo! Hip Hop (Easter) Chat Room Bingo Thursday, April 13th 8PM - 10PM Eastern http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/chat You will receive your bingo card upon arrival in the chat room. Lots of FUN!!! Come play along and win FABULOUS PRIZES!!! Hope to see you there! Elizabeth :)

Totally not related to scrapping

OK, this is so not related to scrapping, but I thought I would get it out there. Is there anyone reading who is a co-sleeper with their child? I am still co-sleeping with Cassidy -- she just turned two. We have her crib butted up against out bed and open so she sleeps right beside me (usually on me). This was a step since she was totally in our bed until probably 6 months ago. Anyways, hubby loves co-sleeping, but we started talking -- I am gonna have to take the leap sometime and get her in her own bed. I think it will be more trauma to me then her -- but there are other things I need to kick the habbit of for her first i think (she still takes a bottle! and pacifier). So, I think my order of priority will be 1) Bottle has to go 2) She need to be in her own bed/room 3) Pacifier . I am thinking, maybe I should scrap this so I have the conviction to follow through -- or maybe I need to create a I love co-sleeping kit lol

New Spoltight - mcardall - Outside

OK, I haven't spotlighted this scrapper before, because I have been hiding her to myself lol. Honestly, I couldn't just pick out LO that catches my eye -- she continuously produces LOs that leave me in awe. There are only a few rectangle scrappers that do that to me with every layout (dawneephay, novita, Rachael G -- the last two were on my CT for a short time and I was in HEAVEN -- now if I can only convince dawneephay and Meredith -- evil grin -- some day -- even if for a short time like novita and Rachael lol) Anyways, I am chattering too much, back to the LO. I love this photo -- it is totally not posed, something that anyone can take. Sometimes, I find I love photos, but I know that the average scrappers don't have 100s of professional photos -- anyways, here is a GORGEOUS shot that anyone can capture! The kit she used is PERFECT for the photo, I love this kit. The journaling is GREAT, the title awesome -- everything is so fun! Totally matches the pic -- fun fun fun and CUTE.
