Pixel Scrapper June Blog Train--England

Woot Woot!  We're off for the June blog train!  I've done blog trains before, but this is my first month contributing to Pixel Scrapper.  Just getting my feet wet again, it's been a long time since I designed anything.

Pixel Scrapper does things a little differently than what I'm used to, but I like it.  The subject for June is "England" and this is the swatch we were given:

I know RIGHT?  Isn't that AWESOME?  So many choices!  I think you'll be thrilled with some of the creations.  There are some using the expected Red and Blue (like mine) and some that use completely different combinations.  I love to see the range of creativity designers come up with.  So much fun!

Anyway,  Here's the preview for my part:

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.

Stuff to Scrap June 2011 Color Challenge

Well, I thought I wasn't going to do anymore color challenges this month, but I loved these colors too much! I just had to do a little something.  So here's "Guy Stuff".   It does have a couple flowers in it...because every kit should have flowers, right?? lol.  Hope ya like it!

It has three files for papers because that's just how many it took.  I don't like having so many to download, but it just worked out that way.

DSO Color Challenge: June 2011

Yep, it's time for another color challenge!  Here's my offering for this month at DSO.  These colors were awesome to work with.  I'm exhausted and heading to bed as soon as this is posted.  I hope y'all enjoy it.

I did an alpha and a couple glitters as well as a few papers and ellies.  As was previously suggested, I zipped them in categories so there are four files to download.

Another Color Challenge...YAY! I love these things!!

Here's my offering for the May 2011 color challenge at Stuff to Scrap.  When you're done downloading here, go over and check out the other great stuff that's being offered.  Make sure you check back because designers will be adding their parts all month.  You gotta love such great quality stuff---FREE!

I apologize that this month I have four files to download, but I'm trying to keep the size low in consideration of our rural scrappers who only have dial-up available to them (or anybody else who has trouble with large files).  I tried to make it work in three, but it just wouldn't cooperate.  I am also shunning 4shared, because of their incredibly long wait times.  If anyone has a file sharing site they REALLY like, let me know and I'll give it a shot.

Here's the preview:

May 2011 DSO Color Challenge

This is going to be short and sweet this morning.  I'm in a hurry to get to the hub's office this morning, but I'm breezing in to upload this and get it out.  I've worked hard on this one and I hope you really enjoy it.  I started it on a day when the hub was out of town at a business conference, hence the name "miss you."

Thanks to Andrea Gold, Scrappin Cop for the overlays I used.

NEW FREEBIE!

YAY, a new freebie!!  This one is to coordinate with the pallette for DSO's February Color Challenge...I'm uploading on the very last day.  I felt a little guilty downloading everyone's goodies without contributing so I thought I'd whip something up this morning.  I realized there were SO many gorgeous papers and elements that my poor efforts seemed unnecessary.  Then I noticed there were only a couple alphas offered and, BINGO, here is another one!! It includes Uppers, Lowers, Numbers and Punctuation.  If anyone needs a special character or some international ones, leave a comment below and I'll send you one.

Oh, and I threw in three glitters since there weren't any this month.  They are in with the numbers.

Here are the previews:

I used Dhariana's paper for the alpha and I used 

some of Deatles' great creations for the previews.

Oh, and that's Dhariana's cupcake trim you see.

And here are the download links:

January Color Challenge

I finally finished my kit for the January Color Challenge at DSO.   I had made a kit previously for my own use that I thought would be nice with this color pallet.  I couldn't find it and I was never happy with the layout anyway so, I decided to do a new kit and a new layout.  Zoey was the daughter of my youngest niece.  It's been about 3 1/2 years, and her mama is finally brave enough to have another baby.  We are looking forward so much to a new little one!  All of our babies have grown up and Christmas just isn't the same without littler ones to enjoy it.

Tea Party with Jesus

The painting is one by Greg Olsen, I photoshopped my niece into it.  It is strictly for this layout for my personal scrapbook.  

And here's the kit: Tea Party with Jesus

6 papers, 12 elements

Stuff to Scrap November 2010 Color Challenge: Revisted

Hello, everyone!  I did the kit below, and I like it, but it seems weird to do fish in November....so I did a Christmas kit with the same colors today.  I surely had something else I should have been doing, right? Just don't tell the Hub, he always thinks I spend too much time on the computer anyway. LoL.

Check it out, here's the preview.  Download links below the credits.

Stuff to Scrap November 2010 Color Challenge

I love color challenges!! I've never done the one at Stuff to Scrap, but I had a couple free hours (ha ha) and thought I'd give it a shot...Here's the color swatch:

Interesting, right?  It makes me think of fish...which is weird for a November kit, but that's just how I roll.  Hee hee.  And here's the mini I created.  It doesn't have as many ellies as I usually do, but I only had a couple hours free, remember? LoL!  Hope ya like it.

July 2010 Color Challenge

Here ya go...I don't usually name these mini's, but here's "Flower Market."  It was kinda hard not to name it that with the big black words in the middle of the preview! :) I was really going for a soft vintage chic more than flowers. Anyway, the download links are below the preview. Enjoy! And don't forget to check out the rest of the great mini's and layouts in the challenge at DSO.

June 2010 Color Challenge

Well, here's my kit for Kim's Color Challenge at DSO. These colors were a real challenge for me.  I was just going to use the blues and do a "stormy sea" idea, but it was flat. So I worked in some of the peachy color, too. I hope y'all enjoy it!

I gotta give credit to The Scrappin Cop (as always), Katussia (KTS) at Just a Dream and Sprouting Seeds. And a whole lotta other peeps I download from all the time and just didn't use in this particular endeavor. Thanks to all for sharing!

January DSO Color Challenge

I was poking around in a drawer today and I found two pictures of my husband and his father and grandfather.  I don't know where I got them, I don't even remember having them before.  But he looks so precious and young!  This is the layout I made with them.  I'm happy with it as far as it goes, but it needs more and I'm frazzled from trying this and that and being unhappy with everything! So I am giving in and declaring it finished...at least until I figure out what I want to do with it ;)

Kim B's September Color Challenge

is in full swing over at DSO.  Some awesome stuff has been uploaded already and we're barely started for this month!  The kits are free for the taking so get over there and check it out.  I've been wanting to get involved for several months, but I've never designed anything myself apart from an occasional element when I need something very specific.  I loved the color swatch this month...makes me think of misty skies and ocean spray so I thought I'd give it a shot!  I'm pleased to offer my FIRST mini kit today! Here's the preview and the download links:
