STS Roadtrip 2nd Freebie for YOU!
I got so carried away I did an Alpha after I had finished the kit and uploaded it, lol. Here's the alpha for ya. Go down to the next post to get the mini, too!!
Stuff to Scrap April Roadtip
Spring Showers and Lots of Flowers
I'm excited to be part of my first ever road trip!! YEEHAW!!
This mini is Violetta. Violets are my favorite. My mom is 87 and every year since I was tiny I have taken her the first violets of spring. Somewhere along the line my kids picked it up and as soon as the weather warms they start looking for violets as they come home from the school bus. I love those two or three scraggly little flowers they bring me! I hope you enjoy the mini. Leave me a note if you have any problems.
You should have gotten here from Scraphannah and your next stop is Flower Pot Designs.
Links to download are below the preview.

Storms, cold toes and a freebie alert
Wow! We just had a line of storms go through that were something else! It was 80 degrees and, suddenly, the wind was whipping in the windows and it felt like it was freezing. I thought, "here we go", because Illinois is like that in the spring. One minute you're frolicking in the sun and the next you're running for cover! It started pouring so hard the water was cascading over my gutters and pouring through my front windows. (Which I did NOT appreciate on my new hard wood.) I was trying to tell my son on the phone to make sure my mom's sliding glass door was closed, but the hail was coming down on the metal awning over our patio and it was so loud I had to yell. My vicious beast of a shih tzu was jumping up and down on my legs like a toddler begging to be picked up and protected from the thunder. About the time the girls and I got all the windows shut and the water cleaned up off the floor, it was over. The sun is shining again now, but I can see some darkness still to the North. Crazy weather!! I hate to say it, but since we have had no spring here, it went from 35 to 80+ and stayed there all this week, I'm betting we're going to have a roller coaster all summer long. Sigh. At least I don't have any babies who are afraid of thunder anymore. I guess that's a bright side.
So, I just popped in to upload a few layouts I just finished with which I am pleased. (<---See that excellent grammar? ::pats self on back::) In case anyone wonders why my layouts are a weird shape, well...they aren't, lol! I do two page layouts, so they're always 12x24. They split down the middle and make two side by side sheets. Sometimes they're one layout split down the middle and sometimes they're two layouts that coordinate, but usually they're the same subject. Here are my latest:

That about sums it up. I've been trying to get through all my left over bits and pieces from last year before I start the summer, which is when I take the most pictures. I'll be way more interested in the new ones when they start rolling in, so I want to get these done. I'm not sure why these have taken so long, except that they were downloaded from my camera into the wrong folder on the computer so they were temporarily forgotten. Don't you hate that? My husband always says something is lost, and I say, "It's not LOST, we just don't know where it is...but it's here SOMEWHERE!" And he hates that, lol. He always says, "That IS the definition of LOST, Deb." Ha ha...but it just isn't....lost means gone. Misplaced...now that happens ALL the time around here! I think I make him crazy sometimes. At least I'm trying. ;)
Now, for the FREEBIE ALERT. I have a new mini coming out on April 1st for the Stuff to Scrap blog train. April's theme is "Spring Showers and Lots of Flowers."
Here's the pallet we all used for our contribution this month.
And HERE is my preview for my part, Violetta. (sssshhh, it's a secret till April Fool's Day!)
So, make sure you come back around on April 1st! There are about 30+ designers who contribute every month and they do fantastic work! I won't know exactly how many there are until March 25, but they'll all be listed right here for you to download. Yay.

Recent Layouts & Tip O' the Day
I have a scrappin' bug again...must be warmer weather or something. It's been unseasonably warm here in the midwest. We even had one 65 degree day last week...of course, it SNOWED yesterday, but that's beside the point ;). The important thing is spring is coming!!
Here are a couple layouts I got done this week using some photos from last year. I discovered that, since I don't post my layouts right away, I can't remember what kits and pieces I used for the layouts! Sometimes I even use a kit a couple times, decide that's enough and delete it. Then I have no idea what it was or where I got it. Even if I do, it's a real pain to go back and sift through all my scrappin' stuff and find the ones I used for each layout. Whew, that's work, but I want to give credit to the designers whose work I use. So, to save myself that issue, I've been leaving myself notes in the file details of the .jpg. You just right click on the pic of your layout, choose properties, then choose the "details" tab. There's a "comment" field and you can type the name of the kit, templates and whatever other info you want to remember for later in there. Then it's right there when I need it!! Awesome.
So, that was the TIP O' THE DAY, for ya, LOL! Here's my pics.
Thanks for checking out my pics. Catch ya in the aftermath. :)

This is McKenzie in Conservation Olympics at Kennekuk Cove County Park. The county sixth graders compete in nature knowledge and have a blast doing it all day. Then they tally the points and decide the winner. This year, McKenzie's class won and her school won overall, too. Yea!
Kit: Home Tweet Home by B2N2 Scraps from Stuff to Scrap.com
Templates: Connie Prince Endless Love 2 and Endless Love 4
The sixth graders also do a "wax museum". They pick a famous person and make a display. Then they dress up like that person (or soft of, lol) and pretend to be them for the younger kids. They come in and ask questions and get autographs. It's pretty cute. Mac was Miley Cyrus (go figure). She was just happy she got to wear high heels!
Kit: Butterflies are Free - Stuff to Scrap - Scraps of Ellay

Thanks for checking out my pics. Catch ya in the aftermath. :)
