Scrapbooking Challenges

Don't know what a scrapbook challenge is? Don't be shy, as none of us knew what they were until we familiarized ourselves with the scrapbooking sites! Scrapbooking challenges are a giant array of scrapbooking projects to participate in from Brush Challenges to Progressive Scraps!  At ScrapBird each challenge is listed in the forum index and you can find all the instructions and help you need right in the thread (topic/subject) you are interested in. 

My Current ScrapBird Challenges
    
    Brush Challenge:  For my brush challenge, I will give you a free .abr (Photoshop file) or .png (other generic digital programs) brush/digital stamp and you make a layout, greeting card, desktop, or artist trading card (ATC) using my brush and my products!  You then post your finished project, in reduced pixels, in your personal ScrapBird Gallery Album and in the thread (topic/subject) you made it for. I not only give you the free brush, you also get a Loyalty Stamp for participating in the challenge: get 6 to 8 stamps a month and trade them in for free products of your choice! A real Win Win situation!

Here is the free brush/digital stamp I'm giving away this month:

    Desktop Challenge:  For my desktop challenge, I design and give you a desktop template (blueprint for a personal layout you use on your computer's monitor) that you use to make yourself a pretty and colorful monitor desktop! So, you get the template for free and I also give you a Loyalty Stamp for this challenge to go with your monthly collection! 

Here is February’s free desktop template:

We'd love to answer and talk with you either in the forum or via PM (Private Message) in our forum. Questions are always welcome because your question could lead us all into a new technique or thought pattern!

Hello Scrappers!

Liv here to let you know I'm still alive and designing. This has been a rough couple of years but I am hoping for the best in the years to come. I still have my little Minnie and we have added 3 more great grandchildren so that makes 4 great grands now! Gavin is the oldest, he's 4, then there is Jase, he's 2, and then we have Willow and Xander, our twins, who will be one in January. Kim is still struggling with her diabetes and how it has ravaged her body but she stays in pretty good spirits and continues to work and take care of her grandchildren too! Suzi and Tim bought them a house last year and they are doing well and are very happy that their grandson, Jase, has moved back to Virginia. Tabitha is doing well as are Joshua, Timothy, and Suzanne. Joshua is now old enough to drive and the other three are old enough to order a mixed drink!

There is a Berry Applicious Blog Train coming in November and I have a mini kit for you, so be sure and come by!

Well, that's all for now. Just a bit of catching up. Oh, I updated the new products and commercial use product tabs (above) if you'd like to see my latest creations. All can be found at ScrapBird, most at Berry Applicious, and the commercial use is also available at Raining Digitals.

Take care,

Hi friends! So sorry for the late posting. Things have been out of my control again today but I finally got a minute to myself and made you a page border that goes with the upcoming ScrapBird Birthday, Download-A-Day, freebie that you can get in the month of December. The free collab is called Hot Chocolate; I hope you like my work and this gift and will come back soon!

Sorry Expired!

Sunday September 7, 2014!

Oh my goodness! Do you realize it is almost 2015? I have barely gotten used to using 2014 on everything :) The older you get, the faster time goes by. Birthdays, Christmas, and the school years tumble into each other at such a pace as to go by as a blur when you are in your sixties! One good thing about that is when you get a cold or the flu, it is just a blip in your time frame!

Sorry about last week's post.  My sinuses were acting up again and I couldn't see out of my right eye so you got the freebie, but not the post! Hmmm . . . that could be a good thing too!

I have some new products spread around my digital stores; the last three are only available at Digi Style Designs this month.  Here are the previews.

Today's freebie is a stacked paper and a frame. Click on the link below the preview to download. Enjoy!

Thanks for coming by!

8/10/2014 Sunday Blog Gift

Hello friends!  Hope all is well with you and that you have been treating yourselves well. Minnie is doing fine, though, rather perturbed with me since I haven't been able to take her for long walks. I have still been having some health problems, but life goes on, so I did do some designing this week; I made another set of layout templates. These templates are more versatile than the Song In My Heart templates simply because they do not have hearts on them. Hope you like them and will go to your favorite store and purchase them!

This week's blog gift is a set of full size Gingham papers in the smallest of checks. There are 7 in this group and 7 more in tomorrow's newsletter :)  Be sure and sign up for the newsletter and confirm your subscription.

This is the newsletter set:

Thanks for coming by!

Sunday Gift Time

Hello Friends & Fans! Time for your weekly blog gift. This week's gift is a set of Halloween brushes and png images; the newsletter will have the other half of the set tomorrow. Speaking of the newsletter, if you haven't signed up and confirmed your address you will not be able to participate in the Loyalty Lottery so sign up today!

Click HERE to download your gift.

No new products this week, I have been sick the entire week :(

Come back and visit soon.

Hugs,

Sunday Blog Gift

Hello Friends and Fans! How are y'all doing? It's summer here in the Southern US and we have been inundated with late afternoon thunderstorms; it certainly keeps us aware of Mother Nature's power! They cool things down a bit but also necessitates powering down the PC, which is very irritating to me. Minnie has been doing well. My daughter, Kimberli, is getting closer to the date of her major eye surgery which is to take place on the 30th of this month and has us all stressed. I am doing fine.

I completed a set of layout templates and am currently working on another set. This first one has lots of optional goodies for you to choose from! Please visit any of my personal use shops, linked in the sidebar, to get yours.

This week's blog gift is another mini-kit for you :)  Just click on the link under the preview photo to download.

Just A Little Bit

Hello Friends and Fans!

Well another week older and not much to show for it, how about you? My home is still a wreck from the termite treatment and waiting around for people to help out is evidently a waste of time! :)  I will take care of it all eventually and of course no one is going to come by and rob me of the work!

Minnie is still doing fine. My great grandsons are doing well too. My little Gavin won his Power Wheels race last night! At three years old (just barely) he is amazingly focused and purposeful and one of the sweetest little boys you would ever want to meet. I am looking forward to seeing what an awesome young man he will be.

My other little one, Jase, is growing up out west but we do get photos of him almost daily thanks to camera phones and email.

My friends Chris and Richard are back from their vacation to the Isle of Wight and sent me some beautiful photos too.

I uploaded a template this week and have been working on a set of layout templates.

I have a little mini kit for you this week; just click on the link below the preview to download.

Click HERE for your download.

Come back soon and remember . . . have your pets spayed or neutered.

Hugs,

Sunday Blog Gift

Hello friends and fans. I haven't been able to design this week because of having to deal with termite treatment of the house. Grrrr . . .  Hate that all that money has to go to something that never should have happened in the first place. I did put together a gift for you though and hope you can put it to good use.  Just click the link under the preview for the download.

Thanks for coming by!

Hello Friends,

I have designed a few things over the last week because of some health problems I didn't do much more than sit at the PC. I have several freebies/gifts for you this week since I was unable to post last Sunday or do the newsletter on Monday.  First up are my new products which you can purchase in any of my personal use stores [Berry Applicious, Digi Style Designs, Lollipops 'n Gumdrops, ScrapBird, and Scrapping Your Memories] Links are located in the side bar. Then some commercial use that you may purchase at Digital Designer Resources or Raining Digitals.

I made a 4x6 pocket layout with my Paris page kit and Embossed Papers then I made the layout into a 4x6 page template for you.

Click here to download the template.

The other products:

Available @ Digi Style Designs

 

Commercial Use:

I have the last two months of my 2014 calendar ready for you also. Normally I put one on the blog and one in the newsletter but I am offering them both in both venues.

Thanks for coming by and remember to have your pets spayed or neutered for a longer, happier, life!
