I've Got Sunshine...

Here's the LO that I had in my mind when I started the November Color Challenge. I still had The Temptations on the 'ole brain at the time! LOL!!! First it was "sunshine on a cloudy day", then it was a "song sweeter than the birds in the trees", and that's how it all came about. Well, hey...it all made sense to me at the time! Sometimes I think that the seventies may be finally catching up with me! LMFAO!!! Password is: cloudy Hope ya'll enjoy!

November Color Challenge Stuff

November Color Challenge

I've got the November Color Challenge done. Today ya'll get the papers. They are heavily textured. I guess all that texture weighed them down, 'cause when I went to upload them, it was a 66 mb file! LOL!!! So, I split them into two files to make it easier for ya'll to download. Here's the swatch. Now that I think of it, this would make a pretty Christmas kit, but it's too late now!

A First! (and maybe the last!)

Today for your scrapping pleasure I give to you my first alpha. It may also be the last, unless I find a better way. I don't know what secrets Vicki P. http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ has, but I do know that she must have some to be able to put out the wonderful alphas with every kit. It took me over 3-1/2 hours to make this one! I was fooling around with Kim's November swatch, and this is one of the colors. It should be fairly versatile. As you can see, it's in a warm, fuzzy felt style. The cute jar is courtesy of Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ .

Well, the filesavr experiment doesn't seem to be working out. Some of you have reported not being able to download Candy Dreams, or getting a 5 hour download time. That is unacceptable. There have also been concerns over virus scanning. I don't think filesavr was prepared to take on Scrapland. So...as much as it pains me, back to crappy no comment 4shared we go. I have posted a new link to Candy Dreams for those who could not download it previously. (Password is: sweet). The password for the alpha is: fuzzy
You can leave a message in the shout box if you would like!

Candy Dreams

This weeks kit from Vicki P. http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ is called "Candy Dreams". For someone who professes to not like pastels, she certainly did a fabulous job! Be sure to stop by her blog everyday this week to get it all, and leave some love when you do. Password is: sweet I am still struggling with CS4, my plans for the weekend changed, Mom, Dad, Steve & Bev all came up to the deer lease, so I spent the weekend visiting with them. Maybe taking a break will help!



Thanks to Deb http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ for the heads up on file savr. If you scroll down just a little bit from the download button, you will see that you can leave a COMMENT!!! Please, please let me know how this is working as far as downloading speed and the ease of using the site. I am having to pay for this, so I really would like to know what ya'll think.

A Little Bit of Festivity

Sorry to be so late with this post, but I have to wait until the other Vicki posts before I do.

Today the release of Vicki's http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ newest kit "Festivity" begins! This is a collab kit with Linda Walton http://bonscrapatitdesigns.blogspot.com/ I only had Vicki's part to work with, but I know that Linda's will be wonderful, too!

You are probably as shocked looking at this page as I was! LOL! This is quite a departure from my usual "junk it up" style, I'm not sure how it happened, but I actually left some white space!

Lilly was hamming it up, as usual, all decked out in her chef outfit. Password is: sweet

I took it easy this weekend, just hanging out at the deer lease with Mom and Dad. We had a really great visit, and yesterday Daddy and I went riding on the four-wheeler all over the place.

Be on the look-out for Halloween pictures of Wyatt and Lilly this week (Tinkerbell meets Star Wars!) and I will also post some pics of The Temptations!

October QP

Today for your scrapping pleasure I have a page I created with the October Color kit. The only thing that is not included in the kit is the chicky charm (and wide eyed Lilly, of course!) Ya'll should know me by now, I always end up with stuff after the fact! I made the charm using a really cool new action from Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ She has a lot of terrific stuff on her blog, pop on over a take a look around. Be sure to tell her I sent 'ya, and leave some love if you download. Password is: chick I have scrapped this photo before, but I just couldn't resist using it again. The wide eyed look of innocence on Lilly's face combined with the incriminating cake crumbs just cracks me up everytime I see it.

Putting on the Glitz

Well, The Temptations were FABULOUS!!! I was right in front of the stage and got to shake hands with every member! How cool is that?!?!?! Needless to say, I was very hoarse yesterday from all of the singing and woo-hooing! LOL!!! I did take pictures, but they are on Mom's camera and I didn't have my laptop with me, so it will probably be next week before I can post some.

Now for Vicki's http://vicki20.blogspot.com/ new kit, "Putting on the Glitz". This is a collab kit with fellow CT members Mel and Charlie. Visit each one's blog everyday this week to collect the whole thing. Be sure to leave them some love! Password is: fun 4shared has been a real booger this morning, but I finally got it uploaded! Enjoy!

October Stuff

Well, the months not over and I have the Stuff done already! LOL!!! As I said earlier, I decided to go in a doodly direction this time. I made the swirlys in felt for 'ya, but I also included just the doodles in the download. Password is: doodle Oh, and I finally found the commercial version of the CHICKEN WIRE!!! Yee-haw! Of course I had to use it to go with the cute little chickie! I did it up with chipped paint, and even wove a string through one version for ya'll. As usual, I left most of the stuff on the large side, that way you can scale it however you desire without loss of quality. I just couldn't bring myself to use much of the purple, I'm not a purpley person.

October Papers

Today for your scrapping pleasure I have the papers for the October Color Challenge. Kim came up with a great swatch this month, not at all what you think of being "October" colors. I decided to go in a watercolor direction with the papers, the stuff is going to be doodly. Password is: soft Oh, and someone said they saw my things on SuzyQ's. Huh? I have Google alerts and this is the first I have heard about this, anyone have more info? I don't know who SuzyQ is or why she would be sharing my stuff. Once again the fabulous Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ is saving you from my usual sucky previews with her wonderful jar collection!

Halloweenies Stuff!

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! That's right, fellow scrappers, a rare weekend post just for ya'll!
Today I have for your scrapping pleasure the Halloweenies Stuff. Some of the items are done in both the felt & epoxy styles. The green frames are made with the Doodle Frames brush by Deb @ http://thescrappincop.blogspot.com/ They turned out to be a perfect match for the monster word art! I was really pleased when I discovered this, it was just too cool! Password is: tooth Once again I got carried away and made more stuff after I had packed up this file and made the sucky preview, so look for an add-on later.

Boy howdy, am I glad this work week is over! After spending approximately twenty (yes, TWENTY) hours on the phone this week with semi-English speaking tech (and I use that term loosely) people in India, I finally have the worst of my Intuit no quality check before release problems solved. AND...I did it without them! Evidently, after working with Quickbooks for eleven years I know more about their product than their so called tech support. I had to tell product & development how to solve the problem! And did they offer any discount on the $5000.00 price tag for this pitiful excuse of an upgrade? NO, NO, NO!!! How's that for customer appreciation? And the worst part is...they charge you an additional $159.00 for this lousy New Delhi support. But they've got you by the ying-yang and they know it, if you work in accounting you have to do it. Okay, anti-Intuit rant over, I am off to the deer lease to see Mom, Dad, Steve, Bev, Bugs and Sammy (Steve & Bev's other 4-legged child).

Halloweenies

Okay...even though I have spent 59 hours at the store this week, (due to Intuit's neglect in checking their software for bugs before releasing it, believe me when I say I have a new definition for POS, and it ain't nice! ROTFLPIMP!!!) I am going to stay and upload the Halloweenies papers and word art for ya'll, just 'cause I love ya'll so much! I started making the monster word art for one of my pages and it was so cool I wanted to share it. I made it from the CK font "Monsters". After looking at the license, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to share it, but upon very careful inspection, it says that you cannot use a derivative product for financial gain, and since I am giving it as a gift, it should be fine. Password is: scary These are probably my crappiest previews ever, but hey, cut me some slack, I've had a very bad week. LOL!
I did 'em up in both felt and the shiny epoxy (except for the orange Boo, it just wouldn't work).
The stuff should be coming Monday, I just have to get the sucky preview done.
I want to say thanks to all ya'll for the congratulations you sent my way regarding my fabulous barbeque wins, and let you know that I will be emailing the recipe requests next week (unless I have another meltdown, I still have to upgrade my QB Financial). Everybody say it with me now, "DAMN YOU, QUICKBOOKS"!!!
