Lina's Joy Blog Train

Once upon a time there was a baby born to one of my fellow CT members and the designer we work with wanted to celebrate it with a special kit.  So she asked the new mommy what colors she would like and then passed those colors around to a few more people who also thought it would be fun to make a kit that celebrated this new baby boy.  And thus, the Lina's Joy Blog Train was born.

What does this mean to you?  A rather large collaboration of kits to play with for free!  My kit alone has 16 papers and 94 elements giving you a 110 pc set!  How cool is that?!

Sorry Download Link has expired.  This kit is now available in my Kits For Sale photo album!

Here is a page I made with my part of it...

You can pick up the other parts of the train by visiting the following blogs.  Keep in mind that we're all on different time zones so if someone doesn't have their part up yet, be patient and check back later.

Unlocking Your Future & A Freebie

Kelly aka Late Night Scraps has been at it again and her latest kit made me ooh and aahhh.  The colors were perfect for my high school graduation but since I didn't have any of my graduation pics handy, I decided to avoid the graduation theme completely and show you just how versatile this kit is.  LOL! 

And of course I made a little freebie for you!  But it's only available for a limited time so you'll need to grab it quick!

You can grab the QP here.  Enjoy!

Drama Queen Blog Train!

Well, the Pretty Scrappy Design Team has been at it again and the results are just plain awesome!  Their latest collab is called Drama Queen and it is so beautiful!  I went a little crazy with this one and had a lot of fun!

I created 3 QPs for the QP Add-on the store will have, then I created a card and a layout and a freebie for you!  Want to see?

This layout is part of the Battle Contest over at DSA so if you like it and want to vote for it, I'd love that!

And finally, your freebie...a luggage tag album page.  I love these! 

You can download it here.

Don't forget to visit all the other stops on the train to pick up the rest of these luggage tags!  You're going to love them!  And if you grab them all, you'll also get a beautiful little coupon to use!  What are you waiting for...get hoppin!

Drama King Blog Train

I have to apologize.  I didn't realize I'd made the list for this blog train so I'm a lot late posting my page and your coupon code!  I'm so sorry!

Drama King is Pretty Scrappy's latest Collab and it's so jam packed full of goodness I can hardly stand it!  It's grungy and it's textural and it's made with wonderful colors.  It's full of music and hip hop and skateboarding and all kinds of good stuff!  It's a must have if you ask me!

Here's a little preview for you...

I have a brag book page made for you as well.  I hope you like it. 

You can pick up the kit here.

You can download the brag book page and coupon code here.

Grab a cup, a towel and a freebie!

Well, my weekend was a little off schedule so I am running behind in getting things posted here...but I'm here now so let's get to it!

I have listed my kit Burst of Summer for sale over there to the left in "My Kits For Sale" and if you missed it, you can pick it up now!  Here's a little refresher of what it looked like.

You can also pick it up here in this post if you'd like for just $3.00.  Enjoy!

Now, if you missed the speed scrap Saturday night then you also missed these hottie layouts I made up for the occasion.  LOL!  So this is where the towel will come in handy...enjoy!

And in case you couldn't tell, I really like Just Passin' Thru's new kit Adrift!  LOL!  If you're hottie didn't make this list this time, never fear.  I have plans to make a few more pages with this kit and create a little hottie album just for moments when I might need a drool!  LOL!

So how about a few more wild things?  Late Night Scraps collaborated with Creations by Rachael B this weekend to bring you a beautiful zoo kit called Safari Stampede.  Lucky for me, I had just been to Cat Tails Zoo with Kaylee's class so I had some pics to put on it!  YEAH!

They also have some add-ons available as well that include a set of Quick Pages, a set of CU Animals, and a mini kit add-on.  And if you want the mini kit and the full size kit, you can even get them as a bundle!  How cool is that!?

Stacey Crossley Designs also had a new release this weekend called Mask Addiction that I couldn't resist playing with.  There are so many things you can do with a mask and I had a little fun with these ones!  I also used an older release of hers called Childhood...so bright and cheery!

Burst of Summer Part 5 Freebie

Holy cow!  I almost missed tonight's posting time...in fact, might still be a little late depending on how fast I get this typed.  LOL!

I have been busy working on the add on for this kit that will be the participation prize for tomorrow night's speed scrap at Pretty Scrappy (7pm MST).  I was hoping to have it finished and have a preview ready for you but I had some unexpected company this afternoon so I'm running a wee bit behind.   I promise to come back and post the preview here as soon as I'm finished with it.  I can tell you that there are at least 8 more papers and at least 8 more embellishments too! 

So today, I'm going to gift you part 5.  These are a few of the embellishments that I wanted to add...glitters, fish, alpha, flourishes...just some random goodies.

You can pick them up here on my blog for sale tomorrow at 6!  Thanks so much!

Enjoy! 

ps. Check back in a while and hopefully I'll have the preview for the add on up for your viewing pleasure.
