A special announcement and a freebie :)

You may remember me mentioning my friend Julie before and what a wonderful person and designer she is. Well, I have a great announcement! She is the newest designer at Plain Digital Wrapper!!!! And she truly deserves it! I strongly urge you to go check out her stuff!

Here is a layout I did with her Canyon kit.


And you know what else I have...a freebie for you :)

It's a Funky alpha that I was playing around with. It's just upper case.

Sorry Link Expired

Short Rant and then on to some fun stuff :)

Do you know what drives me crazy? People who need to complain about every little thing. Don't they know how exhausting it is to the people around them? It can only be ignored for just so long before it drives people away. OK, done ranting...see, told you it was quick! Sorry :)

Now...the fun stuff!

I've been very busy this week...my daughter was the flower girl in a wedding so I had to do all the wedding party stuff that goes along with that. It was worth it in the end, my daughter was beautiful if I do say so myself. My husband got to relax for a little while instead of his usual work your fingers to the bone routine. And I got a few hours reprieve from chasing around a two year old, YAY! I thought I would share a few pics...because I just can't resist!

Here's the beautiful flower girl!!
And I have to say I was a little annoyed when I saw this picture that my daughter had to be a goof instead of have a nice sweet picture with Mommy...
Until I saw this and realized that I know EXACTLY where she gets it! *LOL*

That's it...I won't bombard you with the hundred plus pictures I took but I had to share those. Wanna see what else I did this week? I've been on a roll scrapping. Don't know what got into me but I'm likin' it :)

Everything from Britt-ish Designs GrabBag :)

Everything from Franziska's GORGEOUS new kit Dusk Dew!

This one was done for a technique Challenge at Hummie's World. I twisted the challenge a bit to make it work for my LO though *L*

Some stuff to show off...

Wow, I've been a little MIA. Sorry. But I brought some fun stuff to show you now that I'm here :)

First, for those wondering about life with a new puppy. Aside from the potty accidents it's wonderful. Housetraining is such a chore but I have faith that it will work out in the end. I think I need to be a little "meaner" and crate him more often than I do. I just feel terrible since he spent the first 4 1/2 months of his life in a cage. And of course I have taken a ton of pictures! So here are a few of my favorites.

Here's one of me and my little pal. My 6 year old daughter took this picture, not bad, huh?

Here is where my son slept the first night we got the dog. Do you think he's excited?

The dog LOVES my daughter! How cute are they?

Dopey dog got his head stuck in the game jar!

Is it wrong to find this hysterical? While my daughter was walking the dog she ran into a tree!!

Ugh, how GROSS! Look at where I discovered my 2 year old!! He thinks it's a darn sandbox!

But how can you stay mad when they look like this?

I got a few layouts done this week too...how cool is that?
