Freebie QPs from Fellow CT Members

It's been an entire week since my last post...that is way toooo long. So let me tell you what I've been up to. Not a darn thing...lol, j/k....actually quite a few things. First of, I wanted to share some news with you. I'm privileged to have joined 2 more CTs - Kaylek Keegan Designs and Plain Digital Wrapper. And let me tell you, it is very exciting to be part of PDW. They have some amazing designers there and I have the honor of working with ALL of them...and Kaylek, who is also a PDW Designer, makes amazing blinkies. Check out her blog to see some of her work.

Now let me clarify that I am still on Phillsboo and Adelina's CT. They are also very talented designers and I wouldn't dare give up my chance to work with their wonderful creations. Speaking of which, Adelina has a new kit coming out soon. Don't worry, I'll let you know when it is released in her store.

Back to business... I have a few new layouts to share with you from my new CT assignment. I will be putting them up in the following post because there are so many that it'll take you forever to get thru it if I post it here.

But what I really wanted to do was go back and tell you about the freebies that my fellow CT members are giving away on their blogs. I've been so caught up with my hard drive breaking down on me that I haven't been letting you know when a freebie is posted on their blog. Shame on me! Anyways, be prepared for a bunch of free QPs to follow...

Let's start off with Phillsboo. Her newest release is Joyful Christmas. Here's what my fellow CT members created for you. You can click on their name or the image to be taken to their blog to download.

Now let's move on to Adelina. Her newest release is All These Pretty Things. Although she sells her kits both at DigitalArts-Cafe (DAC) and Do It Digi, this kit is exclusively sold at DAC.




She also has a QP from Adelina's Christmas Eve kit.
And this was the QP I made from Adelina's All These Pretty Things kit. Click here or the image to be taken to the posting.

For more freebies, Adelina has a bunch of stuff on her blog. Go check it out! Stay tuned...new layouts to follow.

A Halloween Layout and a Freebie QP

Just in case you were wondering...no, my other hard drive is still not fixed. Grrrr! On a happier note, I wanted to share some layouts I made today.

Since I never got around to showing you any of our Halloween pics, I figured I'd at least show you a layout I made. Out of all the Halloween-themed kits out there, I thought Phillsboo had an absolutely cute mini kit which suits kids Halloween pictures perfectly. Not to mention, it's free! Here's a preview of the kit.
Click here or the preview to grab this freebie mini kit.

I created this layout for the Gingerscraps It's Technique Time Challenge. This month is a template challenge.

Now I know I promised a freebie QP from this kit but because I'm having issues with my hard drive (see previous post) it's going to have to wait til I can get it fixed. Or I may just have to make another one as soon as I can get my hands on the kit again....hmmm. Let me sleep on it.

So just an update on the hard drive situation...I bought another one, one that has more disk space...1 TB, so who knew what TB meant?...lol...I was talking to the service person at Fry's Electronics and I was so embarassed when I called it titabyte, lol. I don't think he understood me though because he didn't laugh at me so I asked him what it stood for and he told me terabyte. Guess you had to be there, lol. Anyways, I still haven't recovered all the files that was in my old one. My husband is trying to fix it right now because he doesn't want to have to pay $150 to have someone else recover the data. Oh how I wish that he could be my hero. Well, he is regardless but if he fixes it...ooh baby, you get a special gift from me. ;D I'll keep you posted on my HD status.

Well, this is all I have for you right now. Good night and I hope I have some good news for you tomorrow. :)

Not So Good Morning!

Good morning! Well, not so good morning for me...I don't know what to do today. My hard drive is messed up and I'm so lost without it. The USB connection from the HD to the computer is loose and it won't read it. Grrrrr! Gotta figure something out. All my digi files are in there. How am I suppose to share the layouts and QPs I've been promising you???

Omigosh, I'm going nuts trying to figure this out. Usually I would try to open the case to see if I can tighten the screw inside that holds the connection but I don't even see where to open the case, lol. It's so fustrating all I can do is laugh about it. It's one of those FreeAgent External HD. My husband bought it and up until now, it has worked so well...I loved it because it has something like 450GB of memory. It's no problem to get another one but how do I get all my files out of the old one??? Well, enough ranting and raving from me. It's 6:15am and I gotta get the kids up and ready for school. Hopefully something comes to me...

A Special Thanks...

... to Barbara aka Kayleks Designs for designing my blog. She did an amazing job! **Big hugs & kisses** **muah, muah**

She used her kit, Love Birds, which you can find in her store at Plain Digital Wrapper. If you would like more info on her services, please check out her blog and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. She creates awesome blog designs, banners, blinkies, etc.

Hugs & Kisses,
