Is it summer yet?
Yesterday during a brief break in the clouds, my daughter said "you mean the sky still is blue?" Well, it is, but we sure aren't seeing much of it. Are you ready for Father's Day? I'm not quite ready yet, but I do have this for you: Lesson's from My Father
It's perfect for your masculine layouts. Or for making a father's day card! Hey that's a great idea...
We had a great time at the Speed Scrap! If you weren't able to join us, but WANT those text paths, they are also available now: Find Your Path
They are so fun and easy to use (if your software supports PSD files). Just double click on the text and enter your own words. You can change the font, the color, the size... They are great. Before I got Photoshop CS4, I was always wishing I could do these. Now you can!
See how cool they are?
From Liz:
From Breon:
From Krisi:
Those who've joined me from my pre-designing blog know that I am a stickler about story. I LOVE all my "old" scrapbooks, but I was chicken about journaling. I just didn't know what to say. Now I've realized that it's easy. I just write what I would say if I were telling you about the event or photo. What would I say to my friends? That's it. Type it & you're done. Easy peasy.
So, in that vein, here's some places to put those heartfelt words: Just a Moment Journal Tags
From Liz:
Did you notice? I am SO excited to welcome my new CT members: Liz and Alli. Welcome ladies!
Have a great weekend everyone!

ps. Wondering how to get your text lined up on those lines? Check back tomorrow for a tutorial!

The rain came tumbling down
It has rained everyday here for about 10 days. And I live in a desert! The storms have been bad enough that it has hailed nearly everyday during that time. I'm grateful for the moisture, but it would be nice if we could plant the flowers!
Last Tuesday morning as the cement contractors left, my new curbing looked AWESOME! Tuesday night was the first hail storm...the cement would've been fine in the rain, but the hail? Nope. Pocked the cement. All of if. Marble-sized hail will do that to you. Oh well. Can't win 'em all.
Good news is I can scrap and design without guilt, because I can't work outside. LOL!

It's FRIDAY!
I've always liked Fridays, but now that new releases come out on Fridays, I love them even more. I've had so many requests for more colors of the on-the-dot alpha, that I decided to make it a collection:
But that's not all, here's the companion alpha collection:
In the store there are LOTS of choices: each alpha is available individually...or these collections...or if you really love them, the entire collection for a substantial discount!
With so many colors, you're bound to find one that fits your layout.
By me:

Are you ready for summer?
I sure am. Five more days of school. Then after the last day of school we head up the canyon with all our old homework and build a small bonfire. Yea! I love that we live so close to the mountains and streams. We can just zip up a canyon and enjoy some relaxing family time and some yummy s'mores! In honor of all that goodness, I created...Let's Camp S'more!
Here's some inspiration from a few of my friends:
Don't those s'mores look delicious? YUM!
Hope you enjoy it!
And don't miss the speed scraps this weekend...remember I'm hosting one at 11am Saturday Morning:

the REAL thing: frames and a freebie
What a busy week! {inter}National Scrapbook day festivities lasted all weekend! With so much going on, I still managed to get something new for you. I love the look of photos with white edges, and they look even better when they are slightly curled...enough to make them look real. So, introducing...the REAL thing: frames.
And to see them in action, here's one by Krisi:
and a 2-pager by me: {for my sister--she needs to tell the story}
And finally a sample for you to try: The REAL thing frames: photobooth FREEBIE:

{Inter} National Scrapbook Day Blog Train Freebie: My Idea of Paradise
Welcome! Thanks for stopping by my blog! You should have arrived here from Happy's blog: http://happyscrapgirldesigns.blogspot.com and the next stop is Andrea's blog: http://andilynn.wordpress.com
What's my idea of paradise? Well, last fall our family was able to take a wonderful vacation to Oahu. Those six days were certainly a slice of paradise. While I loved snorkeling, watching the sea turtles, eating the Dole Whip, and seeing the sights, my favorite part of the trip was relaxing at the hotel pool, right on the beach and watching the sun go down. It was gorgeous! Don't you agree?
And very relaxing. We can't wait to return!
My daughters loved boogie boarding. Here's a layout I made with the new collab kit from the ScrapMatters designers: "Hawaiian Happy Hour" available FREE with $15 purchase.
Don't forget to snag the freebies from my new releases yesterday before you leave--they are found in the post below.
And here's your 8x8 freebie quickpage: {image is linked}
