Part Three, Element Freebie

I hope this posts Thursday evening as I am away at Roberts Graduation from Infantry Training. I'm sure I'm having a great time with my son before he heads off to his new home base of Shilo, Manitoba. I'm going to miss him even though he has already lived away from home for almost two years now. He was just never THAT far away.

Enjoy the freebie tonight it is the element portion of this mini kit that I had created as my portion of a collab at IvyScraps.

New Kits on Sale, a Freebie and What is next

The end of the month and beginning of the month is always really busy for me at work since I am responsible for collecting rents, mortgage payments and making sure all bills are paid and such. Last week was a short week for us as Monday was a holiday here and the rest of the week was EXTREMELY busy. Lucky me had a migraine on Sunday and Monday and I was able to head back to work today but I will be off again Thursday and Friday as my son Robert will be finishing up his Infantry Training and then heading off to Manitoba after that.

So I have a new kit up in the store and all portions are available individually or as a whole and will be on sale for 20% off until Sunday. The kit is called Family Camping and the colours I chose were from the MEC catalog (Mountain Equipment Co-op) I have to say it is one of Sean's favorite stores and am secretly thankful that we don't have one here in North Bay as I'd never see him. I've named the characters in the kit after people in our family and I created four versions of each person in various skin tone's and hair colours.

In this elements preview from Left to Right the characters are Sean (funny thing is he does wear a hat like that out by the evening campfire), Tanya (my oldest daughter), Marc (the middle son) and Nathalie (me). Not all elements are shown in this preview but it does give you a good idea of what is in the kit. You will also find the paper flowers, frames (like in the frame cluster kit) and ribbons and such as part of this element pack. On sale until Sunday August 14th at 20% off here.

The paper pack consists of 26 papers in all. No not all are shown in the preview but consist of an equal mix of solid and patterned papers. Also on sale here for 20% off until Sunday August 14th.

The alphabet sets I created and there are five wooden sets in this kit can be found in the store here also on sale for 20% off until Sunday August 14th. The sets include all upper and lower case letters, numbers and a few symbols in each of the five colours shown. The string with leaves is not included but can be found in the element pack.

I loved creating these frames and you can find them in the store here and they are on sale until Sunday the 14th at 20% off.

If your looking for just a few pages for your camping pictures you can find these quick pages available here on sale until Sunday as well.

This is the Family Camping Mega Kit and it includes the Elements, Papers, Cluster Frames and Alphabet. This set is priced at $6.00 but you can find it on sale for $4.80 until Sunday August 14th. here

Tonight's freebie is another set of items that were created for an IvyScraps Collab. There will be three files over the next couple of days, two paper and one element zip files. I hope you all enjoy and I hope to be back with some nice pictures of Robert and his parade and Graduation. I'm going to have to keep an eye out on Alexandra and her Girlfriend she is bringing along as I'm sure they are bound to turn a few heads and neither look 16 and both are VERY naive. Good thing Dad is coming along in his own uniform and knows a few of the MP's on that base. LOL.

Family Camping Quick Page Freebie

Tonight's layout does not have the picture I wanted to put in it. When I created this, I knew I had a picture of Tanya and Alexandra dancing on the beach in front of a campfire singing "There ain't no flies on us" at the top of their lungs and the kids across the lake would sing it back, however I couldn't find it...so I had to change it up a bit..... found a picture of this cute..... "Kitty Cat".

I was thinking of a story Sean told me of when he and his first wife were married and they had two large ferrets and the first night at thier new home when they were posted to Ottawa, he got a call at work from her saying the ferrets had gotten out of the house, probably through the dryer vent. Well Sean being an Military Police Officer went home in uniform, flashlight out, looking for these two little guys around the house, in the dark. At one point he figured perhaps he should go to the neighbors introduce himself and let them know what he was doing. So he goes to the door and knocks, introduces himself and tells them he is looking for his two ferrets. Neighbour starts laughing and say's, oh that's what those things are....kids found them outside and they seemed friendly so we brought them in the house. Now I don't know about you but if I found an animal outside that I had never seen and didn't know anything about but seemed friendly but I wouldn't bring them into the house with my kids.

And here is the preview for the quick page. hope you enjoy.

Quick Page, Desktop Wallpaper, Calender Freebie

eI know I said I'd post this last evening so you could download it this morning or late last night however (and this was a BIG however) my hard drive started acting up last night and I had most things on it backed up however it had been two months since my last backup, so I rushed out and bought a new hard drive and started backing up HD. Wouldn't you know though... I couldn't just copy and paste everything over, it wouldn't let me copy anything larger than 25Gigs in most cases so I had the wonderful task of copying approximately 500Gigs of stuff in 25Gig increments. Luckily around 3AM this morning it finally let me move 129Gigs of photo's over in one batch however it is still 53 minutes away from being transferred over. Needless to say, I'm going to back up more frequently after this. LOL

So I went to the midway last evening as well with Marc and Alexandra and their new friend Carley. It was a lot of fun. We let one of the carney's guess my age... he guessed 36 (I'm actually 42....just a little off!) Then Alex and I went off to spend $8.00 to win a stuffed frog. We are going to give it to my nephew who is one. Carley was so excited, we helped her win a big monkey, she was so excited as she had never been to a midway before. She moved here about a year ago from the east coast, her dad is military as well and in the past year here she really has not met any friends. The base here is really small and even though she is only 17 she graduated high school at 16, and works on the base (did I mention it's a really, really small base) so there have not been many opportunities for her to meet new people her age. We had so much fun together the four of us and I bought the biggest bag of cotton candy we could find and gave ourselves a sugar high! LOL. I teased the kids when we got home, that they must be the coolest kids in all of North Bay... they wanted to spend Friday Night with their MOM and new friend AND out in public too!

So the new kit I was suppose to unveil this weekend is called "Family Camping" and due to computer issues will not be in the stores today as expected as all the previews are not done. However I do have the Quick Pages I created using this kit to show you... what do you think? Just so you know, two people who regularly visit my blog and comment were lucky enough to get these quick pages via e-mail as a surprise gift for commenting so often on my posts. (Hint, hint... never know when I may feel generous!)

So here are your freebies. I have created this Quick Page, Calender, Desktop Wallpaper in two sizes. Using my new kit "Family Camping" which I hope to upload to the store as soon as I have these computer issues resolved. I showed this layout I did for our desktops and he leaned over and rubbed Bullet's back and head and said..."Bullet, your going to be famous!" lol. So I hope you enjoy this layout and think of Bullet our dog as famous from now on!

Freebie-Elements

Well my back is feeling better today and with Sean back on shifts as of Monday we were up early. I couldn't fall back to sleep after he left, so I got up got dressed, changed my mind about what I was going to wear, changed again, then one more time... looked for my Twigg's coffee mug, texted Sean-asked him if he had it. (He had one of them at work) Took the dog for a walk to Twiggs our local coffee shop, got there and my bank card was rejected but since Alexandra works there they let me take my coffee. Walked back home, finished getting ready for work, left a chore list for the kids, asked TC if he isn't working this weekend if he is interested in helping my brother's Marcel and Emmanuel build a deck at the cottage for my Dad, went back to Twiggs to pay for my coffee, stopped at the drug store for their generic brand of Robaxacet, arrived at work and relaxed.

Whew...!

Today's download is my final part of the Cozy at Home kit I did for IvyScraps Collab last year. I am not sure what I will post tomorrow night however on Friday evening I will be uploading a Desktop, Quick Page, Calender created with a new kit I hope to upload to the store sometime this weekend. Here is a preview of the one I am using on my computer. I used pictures of Bullet our dog and Sean from last year's weekend at the cottage.


This preview doesn't give you much of a hint as to the theme of my new kit but what do you think of the QP? I'll post another hint/preview with Friday's post In the meantime, please enjoy tonight's element freebie.
