It's Fall

It's Fall! We had our first frost and my house plants are still outside. Bummer. Maybe I can get them in today and salvage them... My lawn is full of leaves that need raked and the trees are nearly bare here. I am not looking forward to winter...but fall is a beautiful time though. The sunsets are deeper and prettier and seem more striking, at least to me. I saw this sunset outside my store one night while the staff was taking out trash and couldn't resist taking the picture, which was with my phone. Gorgeous! I used Autumn Splendor by Deb Ammerman of Deco Pages for this page! Her kit has so many different colors and patterns and was so versatile to work with, I loved it! I also used it for this next page with my nephew and my 5 month old puppy! The look on my nephews face as Zoee was getting him was priceless!
As you can see the colors are lighter and versatile to work with nearly everything! You can find Deb's kit here!

Halloween is right around the corner and promises to be great fun! Candy is flying off the shelf in preparation for the spooky beggars night! I can't wait to see what my DGS goes as this year. Last year he was a spook with his face all painted white and his hair colored. He was so much fun.
I used Lori Staton's Spooky Treats kit for this page of Gabe and Me. I love the bright colors and cool elements that she's put in the kit! Check out this page of my son's friend....this was too funny!

Check out her kit preview! Tons of Halloween fun in this kit!
Have a safe and happy halloween!

Pages and a Freebie

I've created a couple pages recently and I wanted to share about the kits that I used. Every now and then you find a kit that is so versatile that you just love it and I've found two! The first kit is Dragons Warmth by Theta of Deco Pages. Her kits are so rich and vibrant and the elements that she creates are totally awesome. Here are the previews to her kit:

Pretty awesome stuff! I love this kit! The dragons are awesome and perfect for so many different things. I used one of the dragons to indicate what a monster my puppy is in my page called Monster Zoee...

How cool is that! I love it. Then I just used the basic kit for a page with my niece and nephews playing around for my sister and her new camera.
This is a very versatile kit and I just love the rich colors that are in it. The second kit that I loved is Rustic Culture by Dragons Lair Designs.
The colors are so deep and perfect for the fall season. I created one page of my grandson carving his first pumpkin last year. It was perfect for it...

and then capturing this hummingbird in preparation for it's winter journey.

You can find these kits and more at Deco Pages.

I finally put together the elements for the Breast Cancer Awareness mini kit that I was working on. I think this is all that I have gotten finished so far. I hope that you like them. You can click on the image or on the link below. Thanks for reading my page!

Breast Cancer Awareness Freebie 3

In an article on Woodlands Online "According to the American Cancer Society, about 182,460 women in the United States will be found to have invasive breast cancer in 2008. About 40,480 women will die from the disease this year. The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8, and the chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 35." These are pretty staggering statistics. You can read the article here: http://woodlandsonline.com/npps/story.cfm?nppage=27173. You can plan ahead to detect symptoms early and the National Breast Cancer Awareness has a tool to help you. This tool is an interactive tool to help remind you to schedule breast self – exams, mammograms, and clinical breast exams and includes a flexible reminder system using email notifications, calendars, and text messages. You can find it here: http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/edp/


Here are three plain textured papers for Breast Cancer Awareness based on the three basic colors. I hope that you enjoy them.
