Hi there!  Can you believe it’s almost the end of August?  I can’t!  This summer just seemed to go by so fast for me.  To celebrate summer coming to an end (for us in the northern hemisphere anyways), I made a desktop for September for you using Amanda’s gorgeous kit Lucky.   I hope you enjoy it!

Flipping and Flopping

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

CT member SuzyQ checking in! It’s time for yet another Flip-Flop Challenge! Are you ready?

First, for those who don’t know (or can’t remember, lol) … this is how the flip-flop challenge works. It’s basically a scraplift, but with your own twist on it–flip it, flop it, turn it around–do whatever you want to make the LO yours.

This month we’re scraplifting this fun LO by Jaedyn:

I’ve even made a very basic template to help you get started, which you can download here. Use it as is with your own added flair, or flip it/twist it/flop it to make a new creation!

When you finish your layout, come back and link us up in the comments–one random winner will win a great surprise from Amanda Heimann Designs!

And of course, we can’t leave you without some inspiration from Amanda’s CT!

From me:

From Janie:

From Trina (she flip-flopped Jaedyn’s Tutu Cute layout):

From Bernadette (she flip-flopped Jaedyn’s Pixar Parade layout):

I can hardly wait to see what you come up with. Don’t forget–come back and link us up in the comments to be entered into the random drawing!

Lunch Box Love Freebie

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

That time of year is fast upon us – - it’s back to school time!  For many of my gal pals, this upcoming school season will mark the first days of kindergarten for their little ones, and they’re already thinking about how to make the transition a smooth one.  One of the things that I adore doing is packing a little love note in my daughter’s lunches.  It makes her feel so special and it’s such a great surprise to get a little something from mom to brighten your day!  Digi supplies are fantastic for making fun & personalized notes for your kiddos.

This week’s freebie uses Amanda’s Just Beecause and To Infinity kits.

You’ll get a printable 8.5×11 page with two versions of each lunch note – one with a message using Darcy Baldwin’s awesome fonts (DJB Brittany & DJB Arcitekt), and one that’s blank for you to write your own message.  I hope you use these & they put a smile on the faces of your precious ones!!  Let these inspire you to make your own lunch box love!!
