Wallpaper Freebie

Just wanted to share a wallpaper I created for the month of July using items from the new kit I'm creating. In the preview below I have used pictures of Sean and I in the Dominican from 2009 before his tour overseas. We celebrated his Birthday down there and this was my gift to him swimming with the Sharks and Stingrays. Don't worry they were nurse sharks and stingrays with no stingers... it was amazing. Then again... I love pretty much anything to do with watching nature in the water.

I want to apologize for the mix up the last few days of the School Adventure Kit. I have been trying to find an online server to store my files so that you can get direct downloads and not have to wait to access my files. I'm still sorting out the problem but if you have any problems downloading, send me a quick message or comment and I will fix the link and leave the freebie up for awhile longer.

You can download the wallpaper for July here.

Pictures of Alex and Tanner going to the Prom

Just wanted to quickly share some pictures of Alexandra and Tanner on their way to the prom. (Tanner is graduating, Alex is still only in Grade 10) Yes, I was a little excited about her going and I hope she is out having fun.

Sean on the other hand I think almost choked when she asked permission to stay out all night! One of her friends she has had since grade 5 was having an after prom party at his place, they have a bit of property and a whole bunch of kids have set up tents there, built a bonfire, have PARENTS supervising... so we took them out there a short while ago.

Anyway, here are the pictures from earlier this evening...

Graduation Freebie & Correct Link upadated below for Bonus Elements

Thank you for letting me know that the link for the Bonus Elements was incorrect. I'm not sure how that happened but thank you for letting me know. You can find the correct link below the preview if you go back a couple of days postings.

I'm tired this evening as I was carried away last night working a new alphabet set for a kit I'm working on. Needless to say this new kit's Alpha is a little more time consuming than I expected but secretly I'm going to have to admit I think this new kit is some of my best work and I feel my alpha is the best scrapbooking elements I've ever created. I was up until 2:30 last night working on these... (I must warn you however these will not be offered as freebies and will be an Add-On to my new beach kit.)

Well, here it is the final post for the School Adventure Kit. Not all elements are shown, but there are four basic graduation colours for the caps and gowns... pink, blue, red and black. I have also included blank award ribbons, this way you can write whatever you may like on them... Perhaps Honors, Most Athletic, Most Improved etc, etc.... plenty of options. I particularly like the wire words and the loose beads. Graduation tassels are included with the years 2010 to 2015. I hope you enjoy these elements.

Grad Paper Freebie

Its been a good day.....I was able to sleep in and when I did wake up Sean was bringing me my coffee in my spill proof mug.(A Contigo AutoSeal, spill proof Vacuumed Insulated Mug) Don't laugh but Dan our maintenance worker at work received one of these mugs as a Christmas gift and was telling me how much he loves it as it kept his coffee hot for hours and was spill proof. Now if you knew me even a little bit one thing you would quickly learn is that as much as I enjoy a good cup of coffee, I drink it very slowly. A few years back Sean bought me one of those cup warming gizmo's for my desk so I could keep my coffee warm but it does create a skim on the top of your coffee if left too long. Not appetizing. So, I bought a pair at Costco's and I have fallen in love with it. Like the idea that I can just toss it into my purse, like it even better that it keeps my coffee hot/warm for the advertised 6 hours and it is stainless steel so I don't have to worry about it breaking any time soon. I paid something like $22 for two mugs at Costco... so if your looking for a good coffee mug...check these out. Just click on the mug to be taken to the manufacturer's web page with the mug information.

So tonight we are down to the last two posts for the School Adventure Kit. Tonight's freebie are the Graduation Papers....tomorrow I will be posting the Graduation Elements. Enjoy the papers and I hope to see you all back tomorrow.

Bonus Elements Freebie

Finally Friday...(or it was still Friday a few minutes ago) and the weekend is here. It was a steady day at work... plenty to do and I was still at it when 4:30 came around and it was time to go home. This evening was quiet here, Sean and I watched a movie, hence I'm posting so late. Alexandra showed Sean the dress she bought at le Chateau for Tanner's Prom. She is excited about it and is not sure how she is going to do her hair for the event. I still can't get over she spent $300 on just her dress. I teased her and asked her if Tanner was worth it....she said YES. They have been dating for almost a year and he is a nice young man. He is in the reserves, this was his last year of High School but being only 17 and not ready for College or anything else, he is going to do another year of High School before joining the military full time. (At least that is what I think his career plans are at the moment.) Of course I will post pictures of the two of them together... I'm actually excited for her and I'm sure she will have a great time.

Well, here is tonight's freebie. I created some buttons, markers, thumb tac's, a few flowers, a school bus, an art easel and included a few more pairs of scissors for you to use in your layouts. Please enjoy the elements and I will be back tomorrow evening with the Graduation Papers.

Bonus Patterned Paper Freebie

Are you excited that this School Adventure journey is almost over? This Saturday Evening I will be posting the Graduation Papers and then Sunday evening sometime I will post the Graduation Elements......I hope you are all looking forward to those. Don't forget that items are only available for about a day and a half... I post in evening, then they are up the next day for a full day and come down sometime after noon EST the following day. Any items you miss will be available in the store here but right now for the month of June you can collect the whole kit for only $4.50. Early in July the kit will be separated back into pieces and available in the store that way only.

I'm posting late this evening since I was at a get together for Sean's work tonight... I came home without him as I was not feeling well and he was enjoying himself.... I napped till he came home, he made me a cup of tea and of course now that I'm awake, I can't sleep. Yes, he did try to be quiet when he came in, the nap just threw my schedule off a bit though.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this evening's freebie... and I will be back tomorrow.
