Quckpages or starters?

Hello every body....
I know bad blogger, I have been working on this and that and in the next day or two will have a kit for you from the mss members design a kit challenge.
Until then...I have some layouts a freebie and a question.
First the question. For freebies what do you like? I am not a designer so except for the occasional Design a kit challenge I don't do those much
but I do have opportunities to play some awesome kits and even get to give away a few things.
So what do you like? clustered elements...QP...Starter Pages...Frames...Journalers?

Well Today I did a starter page it is like a QP but you get to decide where to put things...it gives you something besides a blank page to look at and a great beginning for your page.

Here is what I did with it. The first is a layout I did for MCA Designs it is of her daughter and husband dancing before the prom. I just love this picture. I used MCA Designs little Scrap Dress
Photobucket

an this one is of me and my kids...all so precious.
my babies

If you like it and think that you could come up with something fun. You can get it by clicking on the preview.

Take care and Happy Scrapin.

I have been playing with MCA Designs new kit Counting flies and Counting flies addon.
I love frogs so this kit was going to be a real hit with me but what I love most about it is the bugs...and these colors are perfect for anyone.

BabyBoyMatSleepersGive me some Rockgone to the frogs

Wahoo...I am back

Okay after getting my blog up...the robots on blogger thought my blog might be a spam blog.
Spam...Scrapbooking...they start with the same letter.
So my rambles had to wait a few days while they reviewed things. Actually Blogger got my blog up real quick and I was only off line for a little over 24 hours.
But on a good note...since I am so happy to get my blog back here is a little something I have been playing with.
I have been using SirScrapalots first Commercial use product Journalers vol1 & Vol2. As well as his sampler.

This is something I came up with using his Journaler Freebie its a date stamp to coordinate with the Summer fun Members design a kit challenge over at www.myscrapshop.com

Special Thanks to Atomic cupcake
If this looks like something you are interested in you can get it here
I love comments so please let me know what you think.

Well I better go get dinner on the table. Hope you enjoy.

I finally did it I got a Blog

Hello welcome to my little corner on the web...please don't mind the cobwebs...I am busy chasing after my 4 little ones and playing on the computer. I am a Digital scrapbooker...I love to do 8x10 pages as they are easy to print look good in a frame and with a simple backing paper to edge it look great in protector sheets.
I am a Digital scrapbooker...CT(for 2 wonderful designer and an awesome store filled with even more awesome designers!)...and while I am not a designer(lol) I love to play and sometimes even make a few neat things for people to enjoy.
I set up this blog to talk...share some layouts
Right now I am playing with some awesome Commercial use stuff from SirScrapalot(he has his first ever commercial use journalers out...I love these) and PillowGirl(have you gotten her Stash 1 & Stash 2 only $3 for a limited time lots of great items that have been a blast to use)
So what is someone who is not a designer doing with Commercial use stuff...like I said I love to play and the Members design Challenge at www.myscrapshop.com is lots of fun. This ends up become a huge kit every month

This is the color swatch














and here is what I have come up with so far...who knows where this Fun summer inspired kit will go...I have just collected some great CU items that make life so much easier for the non-designer...and designer alike.
Well the little ones are running everywhere. I better go. Until next time I hope you enjoy.
