AUTUMN HARVEST: New release and a Quick Page Freebie!

Happy Monday Morning! Hope that everyone had a great weekend! My weekend was awesome. I think that I have the best Hubby in the whole wide world! Emmett knew that I was upset and lost without my computer. I was using his work laptop but it just wasn't the same. So... on Saturday we went shopping and he bought me a new computer! I am sooo happy! It's an E-machine and I love it. It has a huge 21 inch flat screen monitor and a compact little CPU. It's so pretty. It's a real girly looking computer. LOL. It has tons of memory and a fast processor. I love it! He's going to take my old computer this week and see if the data can be recovered. If not, i'll have to get alot of new programs to replace the ones I lost. I really hope it can be recovered.

So... even though I lost so much in the computer crash of September 2009 (LOL) I didn't loose my new kits! Yay! That menas that I have a new kit to release in my store today. It's the 3rd and final installment of my Autum Series named AUTUMN HARVEST. I just love the bright

Included in this kit:
10 solid, textured and patterned papers, 1 basket of lowers, 1 bird, 1 bow,
1 branches, 1 butterfly, 3 buttons, 6 clusters, 1 corn, 8 flowers, 1 cornacopia,
2 frames, 1 harvest basket, 2 twine, 2 tags, 2 hearts, 6 leaves, 1 photocorner,

So... here is a little QP that I created using the new kit, AUTUMN HARVEST! I usually have these zipped up with a nice preview, a TOU and all my blinkies and stuff, but since my computer crashed, I can't do that yet. So... here it is without all the bells and whistles. Enjoy.

You may also notice that my blog has a new background... well... it's from my new Blogwear set created with AUTUMN HARVEST. Unfortunately, when my computer crashed I lost most of the set. All that was left was the background. As soon as I get my Photoshop back, i'll finish the set.

Check out these blogs!

Good morning all! TGIF! I have been totally lost since my computer crashed! It's really silly but I never realised how much time I actually spent designing and scrapping, now that I can't do either. Usually in the morning, while the kids are having breakfast I check my email, update my blog, check out my favorite digi-scarp sites, and read a few of my favorite blogs. Once the kids are cleaned up from breakfast, they usually watch some cartoons on Playhouse Disney channel and I spend some time designing. Then throughout the day I do a little here and there. Especially when the kids are napping. I can't do that now and it's drving me crazy!!!

Seeing I have all this extra time, I have been checking out lots of blogs and I must say I have found some good ones. I thought it would be nice to let you know where some of these are. Each day next week i'll give you another site to visit. Make sure that if you snag any of the freebies on these sites, please say Thanks!

http://ascrapaway.blogspot.com/ A Scrap Away: I found this blog today and was amazed at the beautiful Quick Pages that she has created. They are beautiful and they're all freebies! Have a look at this blog and snag some awesome freebies too!

See you on Monday! Have a great weekend. And don't forget to stop by my store for the 50% OFF SALE! Sale ends at midnight on Sunday. This is a great time to stock up on my stuff! Click

COMPUTER CRASH

I just wanted to let you all know that i'm not going to be around for a while. Yesterday while transferring files to my new external hard-drive, my computer crashed! I've lost almost everything. I was able to successfully transfer alot of stuff but i've lost pics and videos of the kids. My heart is broken! My commercial use stash is gone, all of my wordart that I just created, all of my new software, my scrapbook layouts, a new kit I was working on... all gone. I'm going to take my computer to the repair shop next week and hopefully I can recover the lost data. If not, I'll have to start from scratch and start saving for a new computer. I feel so lost.

I'll try and keep you posted as to when i'll be back but until I can get a new computer, there will be no new freebies for a while. Sorry.

LOVING A CHILD

Well it's another Monday morning! It's funny how we get one every week. LOL. But seriously, I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was quiet. Didn't do much. Didn't go anywhere. Just stayed home with the family and relaxed. Watched some movies, did a little cleaning and some cooking. Just simple stuff.

I finished up another kit too. This one is named PUNKIN PICKER and has a halloween/autumn type theme. Lots of black and orange. I think it's really cute. I also created a quick page album to correspond with the kit. You should be seeing it released in about 2 weeks or so. I will be releasing the last kit in my Autumn series on Friday. Be sure to check that out.

And don't forget that today and tomorrow is $2 Day at Pretty Scrappy!


So... onto todays wordart freebie. I'm going through my old emails trying to get as many requests as I can. I've got a few good ones for this week. This is a request from Tracey in Los Angeles. Enjoy.

FULL HEART

Hi All! Hope you're having a great morning thus far! Mine has been pretty quiet. The kids got up, ate breakfast and have started watching Finding Nemo. They love that movie and have probally seen it a dozen times now. As long as it keeps them quiet so I get get some computer time, that makes me happy.

I've been meaning to tell you about Emma and her "school". She is so sweet and smart for being not quite 3 1/2 yet. She understands the concept of going to school, taking her lunch and a backpack, and she knows that she'll learn her ABC's. She puts on her backpack and tells me that she's going to school. We kiss, hug, and say goodbye, then she hides in the front porch for a minute, then she comes running saying "I'm home from school Mom"! I ask her what she learned in school and she replys "ABC's". It's sooo sweet. So, I decided I would turn the dining room into a school room for her. I went to IKEA the other day and bought her a standing blackboard with a pack of chalk, some new crayons, paper, and erasable/washable markers. I set up the chalkboard and she took her place at the table. We then spent the next few hours playing school. She loved it!!! And it's so great too because she is actually learning her ABC's. Aiden gets a big kick out of the whole thing too but mostly he wants to make a mess. Boys! LOL.
We have recess and they get up and run around, then after some more ABC's, we have lunch. They're having a blast!

I decided that I wouldmake some flash cards that she could use to help her learn her letters. Here is a little preview of what i've created. They're on sale in my store now for 25% OFF too! Aren't they adorable. I've created them 2 inches wide by 3 inches high so they can be easily printed at home. And of course at 300 PPI for optimum print quality. So this brings us to yet again, another wordart freebie. This is a request from William. He said that he had seen this wordart on a layout that he just loved and wanted to use it for himself but didn't know who the original creator was. He sent me a copy of the layout and wanted me to make the wordart for him. This is my version. It is different enough from the original but similar in the composition. Hope you like it. And if anyone knows who created the original, please let me know. Thanks.
