Finished up a cute little tag the other day using the artwork of Robin Pushay which you can find at Artistic Dreams Imaging.  Included in the zip file is a collection of sayings that you can use in your emails.  I hope that you like them!

Anyone else out there sick and tired of being taken for granted by the men and children in your life?  Put this on your computer and GO ON STRIKE!

If that doesn't work ... email, text or Facebook this to 'em!

Created a set of extras to use with alone or with the fall-themed letters I posted this morning.  I hope that you like them!

Greetings everyone!  I am "almost" to the point where I am ready to begin creating and designing again and offering you some awesome freebies!  Stay tuned by signing up to our newsletter - because when My Creative Muse hits - it hits in a BIG way!

I have a beautiful freebie to offer you today - well I think it's beautiful anyway!  My youngest son, Tre, was playing outside a few weeks ago - running around our apartment complex here, there and everywhere - so I had given him my little cheapo tracfone (could only make phone calls and send and receive text messages on it) to keep on him so I knew where he was at.  Well, he lost it - or so we thought.  An entire week went by, couldn't find my phone - so I had to call and cancel the service and ordered a replacement phone.

For those of you in the United States who will be celebrating the 4th of July on Wednesday, a few free timeline covers to share with you!  Just click to download the full-size version for Facebook.

Are you a newsletter subscriber?  You should be!  I have a huge tagger size kit (personal use only) available for newsletter subscribers exclusively!  In addition, we are hosting a 75% OFF everything in the store sale now through July 7, 2012.  You must be subscribed to the newsletter though to receive the discount - and it only takes a moment!  Don't forget that we offer a convenient layaway plan as well - break up your payments into 2, 3, 4, or 6 payments - whatever works into your budget!

My daughter has an iPhone with the Instagram App and I love the border that it puts around her photos - so I decided to see if I could replicate it and make a script with it today.  I've tried it out on several different sizes and, while the script will work on most any size photo - it works best on those that are 2000px wide or less.

I know - I'm late with the Friday Color Challenge but its all Mother Nature's fault!  We've been dealing with some wicked thunderstorms this week here in Virginia.  We've had high winds, hail, tornadoes, torrential rains, thunder and lightening - all I can say is I think Mother Nature is a bit peeved at Virginia LOL!  News reports yesterday (before last night's storm that knocked power out for approximately 8 hours at our place) said that over 2 million people in Virginia were without power and that the Governor had declared a state of emergency after Friday's storm.  Yeah, it's been that bad.

I don't know about the rest of you creative types, but there are times when my creative muse needs a jump start.  So I've come up with the idea for a Friday Color Challenge.  I'll supply you with a color palette ranging from 6 to 9 colors, and you have one week to create anything you would like using that color palette and then post it on your blog or Facebook page.  Come back here and add your link to the list below so that everyone can check out what you've created and leave some love for you!

I am SO excited (and so relieved) to have finally completed my first tagger size kit called "Summertime" to share with you!  I really, really hope that you'll like it!  Please remember it is for personal use only and that comments go a long way towards gaining more freebies!

I've been busy working on a Summertime freebie kit which will be available soon but I was having a bit of trouble with some elements.  I don't know about YOU, but when I think of summertime, I think of the beach and the ocean and sitting out in the sun by the pool and being burnt to a crisp.  Well I found most everything I wanted to add to the kit, except for my beach chair. 

Sharing two new layouts that I completed using this beautiful kit from Creationz by Jo.  The first is a layout using a picture that I took of my two boys playing on a swing in the backyard of a house we were hoping to rent (but it fell through unfortunately).  The second layout is using the beautiful Fantasy Art of Denise Pauline as the focal point.

This commercial use photograph was taken on our property.  This particular tree has the most gorgeous blooms every spring ... I wait in anticipation to see the colors explode every year!  For a limited time only, this pretty photograph is yours - FREE - if you are a newsletter subscriber!  So sign up today to get more great freebies coming your way!

Who says that you can't have a pretty summer pumpkin?  A pretty light lavender textured pumpkin to use in your designs!  Please leave some comment love if you download.  I would love to see what you make with it!  Just click the preview to download it!

I am totally chuffed at this cute little emo skull I created today!  I cannot wait to show you what I did with it!  If you would like to download this PU Freebie, just click the image to do so!

And this is the tag that I created using this little guy along with a fittingly "emo" girl from Very Many via Scraps and the City!

I adore September at the beach...there is nothing in this world like it.  The beautifully radiant sunsets, the crisp air, the smell of the ocean breeze.  I can almost taste the salt spray on my lips.  Today, I have a layout and a free quick page for you using another beautiful kit from Myst Designs entitled September Light.  Please leave some love if you download the quick page!

and now for your QP Freebie!  Just click to download!

It is never too early to start thinking of fall, cooler temperatures and being thankful for pumpkins and pumpkin pie!  Another pretty textured pumpkin for your more elegant fall creations!  I would love to see what you create if you download it!  Please leave a comment if you click the preview to download and thanks for your support!
