Welcome to A Piece of Scrap!!!

This is my freebie blog!! Hopefully I will be posting lots of freebies, although most likely not very regularly. Sometimes I am very inspired and come up with a lot, and other times not so much. So pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee...and let the good times roll!

freebies and LOs and more!!

Well DS and I went out of town over the weekend. We were visiting my husbands Aunt and Uncle. They have a son that is about the same age as DS, so we always have a lot of fun with them. We went to Seaworld and had a blast! I'm sure there will be plenty of LOs using those pictures coming up soon...




But for now, I'm just going to share a LO from DS's 1st birthday. This is called Present Time, and it's done with Kylie Moore's Tied Up with String kit, which can be found at nuts4digi.com

Have a SUPER fabulous day everyone!!

Another friday

Yup, it's friday again. I like fridays because I get to meet with a group of church mommies, and we sit and talk and the kids play. It's just so cool to get out like that.

I finished my kit for the third round of the JFTSOI So You Think You Can Design? contest. It won't be released until Sunday night, so I can't post anything yet. And I am going to be out of town, so I might not even post about it until late. But you can go to http://www.justforthescrapofit.net and keep an eye on the gallery. It's password protected until Sunday night.

I will be posted a small freebie add on to that kit as well...probably monday or tuesday. It's not as small as the last one, lol. Just some stuff that I wasn't able to include in the kit.

Well, anyway, that's about it. I don't have any new LOs or anything to share really. Just been working my butt off getting that kit finished!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

just occurred to me...

that i never posted the link to the voting section! Silly, right?

So anyone who wants to vote in the Just for the Scrap of It, "So you think you can design...?" contest, go to this link:

Vote!!

Decide who's you like the best, and then vote for them!

Mine is about halfway down, or halfway up for those of you who do things backwards.

I'm not so sure that I will make it to the next round...which sucks because I am about halfway done with the kit for the next round! I'm having a lot of fun with it too. You know how you think of things and sometimes they work and sometimes they dont? Well, it just seems like most of those things are working today!! I guess even if I don't make it to the next round I will have to finish it.

On another note...here is the preview to my first kit for sale!! I am sooo excited about this cute little kit. It's all bright colors, mostly primary (red, blue, yellow, green, orange and purple) and it's just fun fun fun!!



ANd I know that I promised a sampler freebie, and I swear I am working on it. This round 3 kit has got me all up in bunches....but, the longer it takes me, the better it will be (ha!!).

And, I am already tinkering around with a new kit...hmm...sounds interesting? Well, come back at a later date, and you will be able to see!!
Well, I'm cutting this short. DS has given me his cold, and then he busted my lip this morning (isn't he sweet?).

Have a WONDERFULLY FANTABULOUS day everyone!!

A new boy freebie!!!

Well, another week in the JFTSOI So You Think You Can Design contest has ended...or begun. Depends on how you look at it. Anyway, voting for round 2 begins tomorrow!! That's Tuesday, Oct 16 for those of your who are not reading this the same day that I am writing it. Voting is for 2 days, so make sure to get your votes in!!!

Here is my entry (click the preview for the link)

And the link to the rest of the gallery:
And I also make a little....very little add on. Lol, it's actually just another paper and journaling strips. I would have made more, but I am busy working on my round 3 kit! I know I haven't actually made it to round 3 yet, but I am going out of town over the weekend, so I have to finish this kit by Thursday...
Anyway, here is the add on:
Yeah, that's right. I didn't even make a preview for it. It's a pretty dotted page, and matching green journaling strips. Trust me, it's cute and it matches!!
So anyway...go download the entire kit from the JFTSOI gallery (and pick up some of the other freebies) and then download the add on, and come back to vote tomorrow and the next day!!

It's saturday night!





and, since I am a mother with no babysitter, I am at home on the internet, lol. Not that there's anything wrong with that. To be completely honest, even if I did have a babysitter, I don't have my husband so what else would I do?

Anyway. I finally finished my round 2 kit for the So You Think You Can Design contest over at Just For The Scrap Of It. There's no point in going to look yet, because the gallery for the entires is password protected until Sunday night. But, let me just say, there are 10 entries so far and they are all incredible. I don't mean to rub it in anyones faces, but they look amazing! I don't know how people are going to vote on this one!

But, as soon as I am allowed, I will post a preview, and maybe I'll even have a little extra freebie...I wish I had taken more time on my preview though. I thought it looked okay, but it looks kind of monotone...hmmmm...That's one thing that I really need to practice, my preview making skills.

On another note, I finished my first kit that is going to be for SALE! That's right, I am going to be a designer at kutnkudlyskreations.com/shop. It's a fairly new store, and I am really excited about it! As soon as that is up, I will be posting a freebie sampler, and maybe even a little QP...we will just have to see what my schedule is like next week.

Okay, onto my newest LOs.
This is a day in the life of DS! I was participating in a toddler of the week thing, and spent one day just taking pictures of Marshall. This is really just a quick overview of his day!

Kit: B is for Boy by Linda Cumberland at thescrappinggarden.com


And last, but most definitely not least, Marshall playing with some of his "toys". He really prefers to play with things that aren't toys, like his stroller...

This LO is done with Kylie Moore's Smudge kit, which can be found at snapandscrap.net



Well, I think that's it for today!! I will be getting all my promised freebies out at the beginning of the week, so don't miss it!!

Have a great day, and week everyone!!

Well, voting begins today in the So you think you can design contest, and let me just say, there are some wonderful entries! Don't forget to check them all out, and vote for your favorite! If you don't have a favorite...then just vote for me ;)

Anyway, the voting link:
http://justforthescrapofit.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=592

You have to be a meber to join, and to download the links, so please register at the forums!!

I made a little quick page for the kit...I'll be honest, it was to attract vistors and hopefully get some more people voting.



I am working diligently on my kit for the next round...so here's to hoping that I make it through!! I feel like I have so much to do, and so little time! I have to get my car ready to be sold today (get it washed, oil changed, and maybe even a detail if I can find the time) plus get ready to go away this weekend, and I have 2 kits I am working on. It's a good thing my son has trained me to run on very little sleep lol!!

So don't forget to vote!! There are 21 beautiful kits, all available for download, but you can only vote for one!

Have a super wonderful day everybody!!

Vintage Heritage Freebie!!

Wow, it's been so crazy busy around here!! Between the Just For The Scrap of It design contest (So...You Think You Can Design), the start of the new month, CT requirements, and then life in general, I am amazed that anything actually gets done! But alas, I have finished my round 1 entry to the JFTSOI contest (yay!!) I'll link to the gallery at the end of the post. I also managed to get a CT LO done yesterday!! And I am about to do another one with one of Kylie's kits.
And now I am in the middle of two kits...both very secret and special. But be on the lookout later this week...wait it's Friday isn't it? Okay so early next week.

So this morning I woke up and found this blinkie from Andrea:


How sweet is that? I love it SOOO much, Andrea!! Thank you!!!! I wish I could make awesome blinkies like that...I haven't even made a blinkie for this blog yet!!

Okay, so the LO is of my son (like that's a suprise, right?). He was trying on his daddy's boots. This is done with the fabulous B is for Boys kit by Linda Cumberland at The Scrapping Garden. I choose this kit intentionally because it is so perfect for boys. There's blues, greens, gold and tan. Plus the cutest little truck!

And last, but not least, is my entry to the contest!!
There are 14 entries at the moment, and all of them are amazing. Best part is, we all used the same color scheme so if you DL all of them you will have a super mega kit!!!
You have to register if you want to vote, and voting starts...uhm. The 9th I believe. I'll have to check lol. But my point was, register now so you will be prepared to vote!!
And check back to my blog next week because I have a special little add on to the kit. But I won't be posting that until it's voting season!
Oh, and there just may be a little extra freebie for the members of JFTSOI...MAAAYYYBBBBEEE.
That's all from me for now!! Have a WONDERFUL day everyone!!!

Whooops, almost forgot!

I cannot believe I almost forgot this! Kylie, the sweetie that she is, nominated ME as creative blogger! I am just like dumbfounded! This is like, the coolest thing ever! So now I get to nominate 5 people!! This is really not a hard decision.



Heather, duh! And I pick Babette, because she's just so freakin cool, Tanyia, because you gotta love Tanyia. She's re-freebieing all her freebies right now! How awesome is that??

Tammy, because I'm just getting to know Tammy and she seems so awesome. AND I gotta go with Andrea. Love that book about Atha...love it.

I would have nominated Kylie and Kari...but they've already got their nominations lol!!

Miss me?

Yes, I took a few days off of blogging, but I have my reasons! First of all, the first week of the So...you think you can design? contest at Just For The Scrap of It was released Monday!! I have been working my tail off thinking and creating and getting my hands "dirty" and all that jazz. Second...okay there is no second, I am just lazy.

But here is the newest layout from moi. It's my nephew Carsen, adorable...just adorable. Anyway, That's not me in the picture, is my sister in law. Beautiful, right??

Swirls are for Boys, too kit by Kylie Moore at nuts4digi.com. Great kit y'all! Great great awesome kit!

This is also for the Wacky Wednesday challenge over at Kylie's CT blog (linkie!)
There will be another challenge tomorrow...so check it out!!!!



Well, short post from me today, I know. I am trying to do 3,000,000 things, and well...I just don't have time!
