Freebie Friday- and ALL that Jazz

Can you believe it's Friday already-? GEEE'S!! LOL, and oh goodness schools have just closed for their June holidays! A whole month! Lord give me strength- LOL, bored teenagers in winter are really a pain in the *peep*.! hahahaha.

Well I've finished my kit stuff and it's in the store- YIPPEEEE.. I have been working on it for a while but waited till I had some e-mails from people of who's photo's I wanted to use, and yeah I'm a real fussy designer- ROTF.. OK OK SLOW- I know, I hear ya! hahahaha. So here it is- ALL THAT JAZZ
You had a sampler that matches this kit in a earlier post- thanks for my friend Jazzy's wet noodle! LOL- But there is soooo much in this kit and if you bought my Bygone kit you will know how many elements there are in this one! Yup- I LOVE elements as you know! It is on SALE now at 25% off for a few days- Available here. Have a look at the FULL previews in the store otherwise it would fill this whole blog -LOL, (not all elements and papers shown in preview)

My CT are on a roll too- this is from Crops and It's AWESOME- actually it's STUNNING and STRIKING! Wow- it took my breath away this morning when I received it! There are 12 patterned and textured papers and 32 elements in this kit- and you know my style by now- I like a bit of "realism" in my work- so go have a LOOK.


I didn't have time to scan my pics of me in my tights and tails (ROTF) but this is my "little" sister and this kit just looked sooo right for her photo.. And guess what- Your freebie today is the page I made-It's a QP in png format so you just need to pop in your photo.. (LOVE these-lol..) , Well I think tonight I will join my friends for a drink or two and I hope that you have a AWESOME weekend! Much Love and hugs. Kim. - hahahahahaha I did it again!

Something "fishy"

First of all- THANK YOU for all your hugs,prayers and messages! Goodness it's hard to explain to people "outside" just how AWESOME this digital scrapbooking community actually is!! I'm fine today and Loryn is a lot better- she has her family with her now and is actually managing really well. I've almost finished my previews for my new kit- hahahaha- YEAH there is a new one! I eventually finished it the way I like it ( always takes me forever doesn't it-ROTF) So keep "tuned" to get a glimps tomorrow!

Colleen sent me a message and a link to a LO she had just finished and while reading her blog post she reminded me of a story that had me giggling again- Oh I needed that girlfriend- thank you! And I decided to make a Template to go with my little "tale"- hahahaha.

A few summers ago ( and it was HOT and HUMID) my nanny and I kept smelling this really wierd smell in the front of our house!! And this was the Monday- sprayed air freshner, lit candles etc but it just got worse by Tuesday! ( We had looked under and over EVERYTHING that could hide something DEAD!!) LOL, By Wednesday I was at my wits end and NOTHING was taking that smell away- by now it was sooo strong I wanted to GAG- I remembered my WONDERFUL DS and DH had gone fishing on the Saturday and phoned Hubby at work and complained like hell and asked if maybe one of their "prawns" (live) had crawled out of it's bucket and had now decided to "rot" in the garage!!( which leads into the house via a door).. he said he didn't think so, but would check that evening! OMG- they turned the garage upside down and found nothing and then hubby says that expresive F word TWICE!! So of course my son and I say WHAT!!- The stupid POOP had forgotten the fish they caught on the SAT- ON TOP OF the chest freezer in the garage in a shopping packet ( meaning to re-pack it later for freezing!!!) I mean people it's like nearly 40C in the garage- and this fish had been lying there for 4DAYS!!!!! Oh man by now I'm laughing and telling him HE has to get rid of it- AND NOT anywhere near the dustbins around the house- We have an open velt ( BUSH) in the front of the house so he decides he is going to DUMP it in the bush- Carrying the packet between 2 fingers like a real "sissy" he then starts to wind the thing up around his shoulders hoping to get the "distance" into the bush- ROTFLMAO... The rotten smelly half liquidized fish fly's out of the packet and lands in our neighbours TREE!!!!!! Now I'm laughing even harder and my son is holding his stomach as well- UM there's now a FISH in a tree stuck branches WAY up!!!! I can't help now as I'm crying! And well to finish it they stood shaking that tree until the fish fell out- because no ways in Hell was DH going to try and explain that one to the dear neighbour!

So hence here is my "Fishy Tales"- LOL.. And guess what- Hubby scrubbed down the whole freezer and NO MORE SMELL- LOL- go figure! hahahahahah

So here is the template I used for this LO-

Play with layer styles on the fish or just cut your papers as normal- but I made mine in a few minutes and being Summer for you I'm sure you will find some use for this template- LOL- hopefully not a "smelly one"-Tee hee! http://www.4shared.com/file/18793487/fdab86dc/Fish_tales_template.html Well that's all today ( should think so- I'm yabbering again-LOL) Hugs and Loves Kim

Sad day

This is a short post today as I'm not very chatty.. My close friend Loryn's Mother passed away suddenly this morning. Her mom got up as usual and went to get ready for work- and passed away suddenly in the bathroom. It's a shock, and it just makes one realise just how precious each and every day is. I am leaving you the link to the next part of the Faded flutters as promised and will chat tomorrow.

Last chance

hee hee, does that sound bad? - actually I'm just letting you know that I have to take some stuff out of 4shared- It's FULL and I need space- LOL, so all the May freebies will be removed tomorrow- so grab them now quick if you haven't got them. Well it's Tuesday today(DUH!) but for once it's been a "normal day" -lol, for weeks now Tuesdays have been soooo upside down it's scary and well I suppose I better "touch wood" quick- but hell it's been nice and quiet! LOL. Are there any other "superstitious" people out there-LOL, I was brought up with a Mom who never walked under ladders, threw spilt salt over her left shoulder etc etc and I'm afraid I do the same-hahahaha. I even went as far as telling hubby NEVER to buy me pearls! My mom always said that if you want pearls buy them yourself as from your partner they bring tears! I tell you she did and it stuck in my head! And now I'd rather walk a mile around a ladder that under it- ROTF... stupid to most but man it's funny how things just get stuck in that little thing called a brain and it just won't let go!

Jazzy sent me a new LO she did yesterday with my new Bygone Elegance Overlays (still on sale)
Man this woman has some AWESOME photo's- This one was dated 1900!! It's a cousin in her family tree- but just look at that bonnet! Jazz used my Bygone kit with this LO too. Great job!

Renee sent me this too- WOW WOW WOW, she used my funky floral overlays and made it gold embossed , just so many options to play with. It looks AWESOME, and both these packs come with a Commercial license. Well I told you I was playing this weekend and made some "flutters" in the same style of the "faded bloom"- yeah they are slightly different but that's why I like to play- tee hee.

Bright enough? LOL, actually they are a deep magenta and a deep purple- Today you get the purple set- 2 papers, 1 flutter and a swirly. I will put the pink one here tomorrow.
And Candy- LOL, don't worry girl I bought something a few days ago- wanted to use it last night and for the life of me I couldn't find it- so had to go back to the store to look up my history and then only after I waited for ages for it to download again did I find it 10 minutes later!!! LOL, (Candy downloaded my Bygone sampler again as she couldn't find hers and she wanted to be "safe not sorry"-LOL.. and left a message again on 4 shared.. ( see I do read them all I promise!)..LOL. Oh and Kristine- you on the blog roll *wench*-ROTF! http://www.4shared.com/file/18654129/754c87a7/Fadedflutters_purple.html Hugs and Loves Kim

Faded and worn

LOL- ok ok, that's the title of your freebie today, but I feel a bit like that sometimes- hahahahaLOL. I had a wonderful quiet weekend for a change- yup even stayed at home on Friday night- well it wasn't the plan at the time, I fell asleep on the couch waiting for Hubby to finish showering- ROTF- HOW BAD IS THAT(Stop laughing Renee!).. hahaha. Well to be very honest we had been at the pub down the road with friends after work in the afternoon so I had already had a few and then I relaxed when we got home and it was- "goodnight"...LOL. Hubby kindly just put a blanket on me and called the friends to say we weren't coming.. I woke up Saturday morning like the energizer Bunny- LOL LOL. Full of energy and no hangover! LOL LOL. And on Saturday we lost the rugby!!(*sniff sniff*) so no celebrating after that game! Lots of moans and "couch coaches" but no celebrating-lol. So it was a rest for me which has been great!!

Thanks sooo much for all the comments and reply's again- to all of you, I don't think I have EVER had so many "TY's" at 4 shared before! Big MWAH'a again!! And I tell you, this is one of the reasons I LOVE DOING WHAT I DO- Melinda, or "momtoanAngel" has sent me her LO of Belle using the Sweet Belle freebie that I made for her(shared in a older post). I'm sharing it with you today as it's such a special LO and I was sooo happy to have helped such a wonderful person out when she needed something special she couldn't find. Melinda your LO and your support and encouragement are all the "Thanks I need.." This is a beautiful LO with such a wonderful tribute that it deserved to go here. Hugs to you.

My Bygone elegance Vintage/heritage overlay papermakers are in store now and are at the moment on SALE- These come with a Commercial license too. Preview is in Friday's post. They will only be on sale for one week.
There is also a Crop and chat on at DSO Monday, June 25 at 9:00 pm Eastern/6:00 pm Pacific, join us in the Chat Room (make sure you’re registered first) and receive a template to join in- post your LO in the gallery and get a free mini kit too!

And your freebie today is "my weekends" experiments- LOL, I was practising "threading" and making overlays- I just seem to be addicted to doing those! LOL, It's a "faded and worn" bloom with lacing. 1 curled ribbon and a paper that's also faded and worn- A little different but I liked the effects on the flower.. No drop shadows (preview only)
http://www.4shared.com/file/18589136/7086c5b5/Faded.html Until tomorrow- I hope your Monday stays bright and not Blue- LOL, Hugs and Loves Kim

AYE AYE it's Friday

Oh my goodness, Thanks sooo much for all the comments and thank you's again!!! And let me tell you- ALL OF YOU make up for all those that are "either too lazy or just plain rude" not to say Thanks!! You do, honestly.. MWAH MWAH ( that's kisses for those not in the know-LOL)..hubby being one of them- ROTFLMAO- he always comes home and say'- Kim what where you "trying" to type?? It doesn't make sense- hahahaha, well he knows now that it is all "shorthand" but still ask's me "what it means"- and on the Hubby story- I had the biggest laugh I've had all week! Bunny girl- I'm sending you that blonde wig!! Actually maybe you should lend it to your Hubby..lol lol, So pop over and have a read! It's going to bring those "lips up to the eye's" that I promise you!! Well my girlfriend Antoinette is on her way here so I better wrap this up quick cause man when she starts talking there is no way's in hell I am going to be able to finish here- LOL LOL, She's worse than me and we are called Motor-mouth1 and motor-mouth2 and mean REALLY- do I talk alot- ROTF!!! Well I'll gladly give her number 1 spot- HAHAHAHAHA.

I've just uploaded some new overlays to the ftp and they will be in both my stores soon(later today or tomorrow) but I couldn't wait to show you the preview.

These are some "Vintage Style" overlays with grungy borders, old writting, swirls and deco. I adapted some from my Bygone kit as I couldn't find any that I really liked at the time- so these are the result. Perfect for ANY vintage,heritage paper! Here is the Freebie for today- and yup it goes with the pack above

It's a "simple" overlay but there is sooo much you can do with this! Use a fill and "cut" it to the overlay for whatever colour you would like ( as above) or play with your blend modes and opacity's for a completly different look.! I've added in the two papers too and these come with "rust" spots to make them authentic.. OLD.. hahaha! http://www.4shared.com/file/18408342/78bebc04/bygone_elegance_overlay.html Well Ant is here and this little section took me over 30 minutes- no lies!!!! Told you had to hurry- OOOPS tooo LATE!!! hahahaha. I hope you have a wonderful STUNNING weekend- Hugs and Loves Kim

Why freebies?

Ok- I'm allowed one serious post a month- LOL, And honestly it's all because I'm scared of "that wet noodle Jazz"- hahahaha. Ok, Jazz my dear friend and CT team leader left this comment on my blog and left it with a "threat"-LOL, so I am going to do what she say's- as there is something that "I want to discuss" that matches the topic Jazz has brought up.

jazzieal has left a new comment on your post "Here is comes-":
I am so ticked off and if you dont post this in your blog Im gonna clobber you with you a wet noodle!!I may not always comment here but when I download a freebie I always say thanks..I was just there getting my cluster and 503 ppl downloaded that freebie and ONLY 85...do you hear me people..ONLY 85..said thank you...Kim is my very special friend..and I have to blow her horn for her cause she won't..she loves what she does..she has a God given talent for being creative and for making beautiful things..she has an eye for design and detail that not many have..she works long and hard to make these beautiful things for us..face it..if it weren't for freebies..a lot of us wouldn't have new things to work with..it takes like 5 seconds to type TY if you can't spare more..it takes Kim maybe 5 hrs or more to make some of her freebies..I think if it were me I would say to heck with it..take my freebies and put them in my store and sell them...I'm sure it is the same with other designers who give you freebies..so if you are going to take the time to grab them up take the time to say a simple..thanks..Ok..I have a lot more I could say but this much makes me feel better..SAY THANKS AND GIVE BACK A LITTLE FOR A LOT YOU TAKE..remember this when you click your way thru freebie land!!!!

Now I know I've had this discussion before ( Yeah- my "blip" on the radar-LOL) and to be honest I have really come to terms with it.. ( amount of comments to downloads.) But what I haven't are the mails some of my fellow DSO designers have had about the FREEBIE WAR ( which I promise- has lifted spirits , broken "designer blocks" and brought a team closer together!) about WHY we are doing this and that it's just for MONEY!! Hell, if we wanted to make money we wouldn't give out freebies! Imagine NO FREEBIES at all from ANY designer? Yes there would be a BIG raise in sales, and a big rise in PIRACY too ( which I DETEST!) If you would like to read up on the WHOLE story please visit Lexi's blog .


And that brings me to why I do it-

1- I'm new in this HUGE digital designing land!! And I know that I don't buy products from someone if I don't know their "standards or quality"- ( this is me remember - I'm fussy LOL) so the only way I get to know a designers work is by "trying before I buy"- hence the freebie!

2- Most times the freebie you get is the result of me "playing" and learning and with that comes new ideas and that in turn makes for a new kit... etc etc etc! But MOST of ALL-It's because when I started digi and fell in LOVE with it- it was designers like us that "gave away freebies" that helped me "grow and learn" and have things to use before I thought I was GOOD enough to go and spend money on my hobby!

3-and to get your feedback- you are the ones that are going to use it and well those comments that say _ I LOVE the colours on this, or I loved that flower- etc etc gives me the confidence in what I am making!

4- Well because I love too!

Phew- if you have read through all that -KUDO's to you! LOL- but I had to stand up for my "fellow designers" and I THANK ALL OF YOU that take the few seconds to leave me a comment! I love you guys!!!!! I've made some AWESOME friends through my "little" blog and my "learning and designing" and well I just want to say -I wouldn't have met ANY of you if it hadn't been for all those FREEBIES out there that got me started. AND GUESS WHAT- LOL

Yup here is one that I have been trying the last couple of day's- STITCHING!

I've been trying out different "effects and textures" ect ect and on how to make them from scratch!-( thanks to a tutorial by Bunny) and added a "Kim" touch of course..LOL... And as I "aptly" named it (excuse the pun- LOL LOL) 'So Who' is going to tell me if they are OK and if they like them-LOL

.. actually if you found this freebie from Ikea, Amy, Silvia, Vicky or any other freebie"finder"- rather today say THANK YOU to them! They spend HOURS making your day of searching quicker ( they do mine!) and yet the get so few "Ta's"- so that is the deal today! LOL http://www.4shared.com/file/18265144/392a033f/So_Who.html Ok that's the "serious" posting out of the way for the month-LOL. But I hope you will all understand that it had to be said- especially if you have read Lexi's blog... I love my "fellow designers" and I hate it when they are "mowed down" for doing GOOD! Hugs and Loves Kim

This is the "flourish" Sweet Belle pack- I made these after making the one to make the paper in the "Sweet Belle" freebie (older post below)- They are both on SALE for one week only at Only $ 4.93 - Includes a COMMERCIAL license. Use these on their own or add two together to get different effects- the results are endless! And yup there is a freebie- goodness, I can't back out NOW-LOL.

You know I love grungy textured papers and the BLUES here where one of the first few I made playing with blend modes, erasers, and brushes.. I just added to them and made the two plains to match- and of course had to add the flowers... LOL, http://www.4shared.com/file/17946793/e297e8c7/Moody_blues.html . Have fun with them - and to all of you that have sent me your links and LO's- THANK YOU and I will be putting them up next week!!! Gee's, this post I think has taken me the "longest" ever- hahaha, sooo many lnks to put in- but that's it for today - I'm going to go and have a relax with the Hubby! ( Don't worry Olga- I'll try not to overdo the "alcohol" at the party tomorrow night...LOL) Enjoy the weekend and be good- well try anyway-LOL... Tons of loves and hugs Kim

Bunny got a few e-mails with people worried that this was "real"- I promise it's not!-So don't panic if you see any "ripping off" between us- honestly- it's just in a "good friendly manner"! Dorothy even made a poster!! You have to see this- I CRACKED UP!LOL LOL- AWESOME stuff, and well to be honest I didn't have a freebie for you today as I was just going to have a "show" day with some LO's- but NOW-humf-can't let them get the better of me-lol lol, OK you are the ones that are "winning" here but we are really having so much fun! You better check out Terrian too- she jumped in last night, Cheryl and Lani (Jovi-girl) and Joy posted late 'my time' last night and all sent an e-mail to say- ne ner ne ner! LOL....

It's like Christmas-OK isn't there one in June or July?? LOL. For those that don't know just "right click" on the name and then "open in new window" that way you can open their blogs and still carry on reading here- Well I didn't know that in the "beginning"- LOL LOL. Honest- I had to forever push that "peep peep" back button! hahahaha.

So here is the "not freebie"- hahahahaLOL. I used my latest "store" products- ( Just uploaded to the shop) Overlay packs- (papermakers if you like) - but "my Style"-LOL.... So this is Zesty-(my son named it-hahahaha, I was brain dead!) you get 3 textured papers 12x12's(2 plain scratched and one floral print) and 2 fancy co-ordinating ribbons with roses on! ( I used my "double tie ribbons" available for personal and commercial use). I'll show you the "previews" of the overlay packs tomorrow once I know that they are in the store and have passed the Quality Control standards. http://www.4shared.com/file/17881194/eb0507cb/Zesty_Freebie.html So here's that link- and remember to just say "hi" if you download- PLEASE PLEASE- lol, that's me begging-hahaha.

Wednesday WAR

hahahahaLOL- did the title scare you- LOL, Don't let it- I promise this is only to your benefit!! LOL- and well "a lot of ego's"-hahahaha!! You know that I use Scrapbook max for "putting together" my LO's ( do my editing and designing in photo shop) but DSO has become an "affiliate" to SBM and now sells this extremely easy to use software(cheap too) in the store- and that is where this story begins! LOL- Bunny (aka the BOSS) wanted to know what she was selling so she "started" playing with it and of course put up the "results" as freebies on the SBM forums- not to be outdone "Lexi"(Pao Java) who was also busy "learning" did the same- and OH MY GOODNESS- Now it's "OH NO YOU DON"T- and I can do more than you-!!!!"( How does that song go- anything you can do I can do better?....hahaha- giving away my age again!) There is now a "WAR" ( a friendly one...lol) to see who can produce the most and best freebies- CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS ONE-LOL LOL - honest! And if you think "the rest" of us "lil ol" designers are going to let you two take the "cake"- (um which I hope is part of the prize for the winner????) hahahahahahaLOL- you must be mistaken! So Heather, Lynne ,Mel and I decided we want IN- we challenging this duel!!! We're just trying to figure out how to get a "fly" on the wall so that it can "spy" for us.... hahahaha-LOL.. So go and click on each of these "blogs" and have a good giggle and pick up those "freebies" waiting to be taken ( for all users, not just SBM)..
I hope you have fun reading them all today as it really gave me a good giggle!


Here is the second part of "MY GUY"- hahahaha, lol, but if you look at the "preview" it say's "MY MAN"- hahaha, ok, it's because "My guy said- I'm not a GUY- I'm your MAN- LOL LOL, so that is why it say's that for today... tee hee, told you he "peaks" in here... (Everything else is still named the same for you folders...hahahah) but I thought I had to share that! Oh I think I've laughed enough today- it's made up for yesterday's upside down disaster! Here's the link before I forget as today is one of my "yappy days"...lol ( when is it never I ask you-hahahaha) http://www.4shared.com/file/17816073/7ae78f19/My_guy2.html Glenda- you see, Wayne would have thought it was for him...LOL, Judy- thank you soooo much for the link to your LO- actually joined the site so I could leave you *love* but it crashed, so going there now after this post- Melissa- I don't think you can- unfortunately and I don't like those rules as much as you do! I think it's a bit unfair- but I will put in the "suggestion" and see what comes back.. Too all of your for you wonderful comments!!!- I send ya HUGE hugs!!! Till tomorrow- Loves and Hugs Kim

I won, and we won..lol

What a weekend! For one that "was" planned to be quiet, it never landed up like that...LOL, Hubby and I decided to go to our "local Casino" for a quiet evening(which we do about once a month)- and well I landed up winning a bit of "loot"- hahaha, I did, I tell you- and of course it was a couple of glasses of wine to celebrate and our friends kept phoning to find out where we were hiding..(lol). Oh to cut the story short- we felt really "brave" after the few glasses and landed up joining a bunch of nearly 15 people at a pup.. and well you know how long it takes as you get older for the "after effects" to wear off!! LOL. But we had a great time, and it's always the "unplanned" ones that seem to be the most fun! To top it all we won the rugby again but this time I watched it "quietly" at home...LOL. One night in the weekend is enough for me!

Thank goodness there are more of us out there-LOL. Now I sound like I'm in a Star Wars movie-hahahahaha!
I've got a new product in store at the moment and it's for personal and COMMERCIAL use- Slightly different to your "normal ribbons"-


There are 8 PNG files in this set of large sashes, folds, double ties and different textures. Recoloured light and dark for your convenience- fill with your own colour and use your "blend tones" on the original and you have some VERY DIFFERENT "ribbons" for your LO's or kits that you sell. Commercial license is included. Go "check them in my store here."

Today's freebie has been on my "request" list for a while and it's for a VERY special Lady named Melinda- This wonderful person bought my "Precious Angel Memories kits" so that she could make a "memorial page"for parents who have"Angel babies"( thanks soooo much for asking my permission to do this Melinda).. and she has an "Angel Baby" of her own named "Belle"- and as the name so say's - Melinda has battled to find anything with "Bluebells" and asked if I could help find her a few things for "her own Angels album"- Melinda- I hope these will come in handy and that you will have a few things now to use for your OWN album.. This FREEBIE is a rather large one- ahahahahaha, I always find something "else" that I would like to add...LOL, so I divided it up into two parts... here is what today's part looks like

"Sweet Belle"- I used the colours from a "bluebell" flower itself, Tones of Blues and Purples with the green.. I loved how the "cluster" came out. There are 5 "embossed textured" papers, 9 different elements... and the rest tomorrow... OOOP's I nearly forgot the link again.....haahahahaha! Here it is http://www.4shared.com/file/17431324/b67fb04/Sweet_Belle-1.html and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all the wonderful comments!! Love ya guys too.

I'm not the only one

LOL LOL- I'm not the only "blonde" in our house... ta da na na na naah! HAHAHAHA, Oh I have to tell you.., our new car has had a "fault" with the dash (it's 'pocking") and the supplier has got the go ahead to replace it for us with a new dash- we made the "appointment" to take it in last month but then forgot...OOOOPS, so phoned and apologised and made a new one! Last night my DH reminded me that he has to take the car this morning- spent a few minutes taking all my "junk" out (LOL) and left in MY car... had to go through all of towns traffic to get it to the "shop" and then finds out that ACTUALLY it's only booked in for TOMORROW!!!! hahahaha,LOL.. Seriously this was SOOO funny to me, as he was moaning about the traffic etc etc and well it is something I WOULD do- except I would be there a day late!!! LOL.. So he has to do it all tomorrow again- but I don't think we will forget this time....LOL!! Oh well, so you see- you don't have to be "blonde" to be "blonde"...hahahahahaha.

On another note- have you guys seen the MEGA kit over at DSO? PHEW man this is one HUGE one and I have forgotten to show you- all the designers there(hee hee-including me) contribute to this everymonth, This one is called Me and My Daddy..(just in time for Fathers day)- honest it has 149 papers!!!!! NO JOKES and over 250 elements!! At the moment it's just $7.60 (limited time)- Just pop over to see the "enlarged previews" and while you there you can also receive a 'Welcome wagon kit" just for saying a HI in the forum- how awesome is that... if you use 3 items from that kit in a LO and post it in the gallery- you get the HUGE WELCOME kit for FREE!!!

You all know I got a new scanner and well I was drawing doodles...hahaha, but oh man I am never happy with them.. I scanned soooo many but they just look "no different: if you know what I mean.. so I did one on the computer instead...LOL, OK I will probably "eventually" put mine here.. I just got to be in a non "fussy" mood...LOL.
So here is another "first" on this blog...hahahaha, a Doodleydoo thingy mabob....hahahaha, there are two of them and 2 papers with the flowers on them.. As you can see they are more "controlled" than the "handdrawn" ones and well I kind of like them...LOL. http://www.4shared.com/file/17362949/e94bb5cf/doodleydoo.html Have fun with them and PLEASE send me any links to LO's done with my stuff! Which reminds me "MUKA" congratulations on your CT positions girl you deserve it!!!

Topsey Turvey Tuesday

hahahahaha, LOL, it is I tell you- one of those day's when you have planned everything for the day and haven't managed to get to ANY of them as the phone's been ringing- my son forgot his "cricket clothes" at home and phoned in a panic(for a photo at school mind you!)- so I had to find them first of all (EEEEK, I don't want to do that in a hurry again...LOL) he is sooooo much a typical teenage boy that his clothes cupboard looks like a "hornets nest" or even worse than that!!!! I pull everything out every two months or so and dump it on his bed and make him " sort it out"... but oh I haven't for a while but trust me- it's all on his bed today-...LOL, nice surprize for him when he gets home! My father in law also popped in for a "quick" cup of coffee.. and even better- my sister (middle one) phoned to tell me she was pregnant!!! I'm going to be an AUNTY!!!!! Yippee, I am SOOOOO excited about the news!! I've been waiting forever for my sisters to "get the broody" feeling..LOL, OK, my "little sister" has just got married so I will give her some slack...hahahaha! The Baby is due in January and I have already been told I have to make my way to Dullstroom to help out the first few weeks!! Oh I can't wait!! LOL.

Well besides the upside down morning(which really wasn't that bad...LOL) I really have to thank you for buying my kit- People are actually buying my stuff-LOL-I'm still so shocked when I get a mail saying that it has been bought... THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! The add on is still 25% off at the moment for those that still want to "grab" it...

I have a LO from each of my CT members today to show you- I just have too as these girls really really work soo hard and I love them all dearly!
This one is from JAZZ- how awsome is this photo- Jazz has the most amazing old heritage photo's and this kit was "inspired by her"
This is from CAROL-(Croppie as we call her)- WOW, I loved how she tinted this photo and used the overlay from the freebie down below ( go look quick if you havent grabbed it yet)

And RENEE my fellow South African "Artist"... They are just soooooo different and yet from the same Kit!! Thank you guys- HUGS to you ALL!!!! I received a request from Yette for an envelope to go with my kit- well I had made one... I played with it but haden't added it.. I used the postcard instead- so today you can have it as the FREEBIE of the day...LOL, I added an old tag too just in-case you wanted something extra to "journal" on.

And here it is... hahahaha, it should compliment the kit well or any vintage style LO's you are going to be doing.. http://www.4shared.com/file/17302605/8d8e7d/Tag-u-it_freebie.html Well that's it for today... but phew I think you got a lot to go through...LOL, seems I can't stop "yapping" these day's and my posts are getting longer and longer! LOL- Hope you all have a wonderful and fantastic day further! Hugs and Loves Kim

Monday-AGAIN

EEEH, man this weekend flew past- it's Monday AGAIN already...LOL. I really have to learn that tequila is EVIL stuff..(thanks Renee..lol).. Rugby on Saturday was a whole day and night affair with a ton of friends.. Hubby even went out and bought a "SA rugby flag" to hang on a pole in the garden.....LOL, thank goodness we won...LOL. It hung there until last night! Yesterday we spent at my dad's, it was sooo nice. Hubby and my dad cooked a huge roast lunch(heehee, yup the men in my family love to cook) while my sister and I scrounged through all the cupboards for old photo's and some "treasures" that we knew were "hidden" away in boxes. What a great time to go through all the "ancestors" and who they were, what they did and um what you don't really want other's to know...HAHAHA( don't we all have those in the closet somewhere).. We ate far tooo much, laughed and talked toooo much ( which is sooo the usual) and came home "tired old farts"...LOL.. I hope your weekend was a good one too.
I've got a TOOT TOOT,- Jazz a friend and a member of my WONDERFUL creative Team was chosen as "LO of the week" at DSO... OH you deserve it Jazz, it was a stunning LO.. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Thank you soooo much for all the great comments on the Bygone kit- I really have enjoyed this one and I have a ADD ON to it too,
It is Available at DSO for 25% off for the next week only- it has 6 papers(patterns) and 19 new elements to match. Off course last night I had to play with "my old photo's" that I had brought home - so here today are two of my own LO's using my Bygone kit.


These are of my Grandmother( with her father on her wedding day) and the one above with her sisters and my Grandfather holding my dad when he was a baby. How great is the car in the background!! So because I was busy with these last night I made some FREEBIE word art for you to use on any of your Heritage/family tree LO's- one is even by our "own" Bishop Tutu.


I loved these and I think I'll be using them in the rest of my "Heritage pages"..LOL... These are in PNG format at 300ppi. http://www.4shared.com/file/17236144/15375348/Bygone_word_art.html Please send me a link to your LO's when you use them- I would LOVE to see.. and Thank's to you all that have sent me LO's over the weekend, they will all be appearing during the week.. Got to run ( got to get some food in this stomach..LOL) and I will chat tomorrow- Loves and hugs Kim
