ADSDesigners May 09 Summer Beach Collaboration

This month's collaboration with Aspiring Digi-Scrap Designers was fun because of the awesome colors. I hope you enjoy my contribution as much as I enjoyed creating it. After last month's fiasco with my wordpress blog, I decided to play it safe and release the kit here.

The Start of Project 365

When I decided to join Project 365 I intended to post my pictures and layouts on Crafter's Boutique (my Scrapbooking Blog), but the more I think about the spirit of the project; the more I think that this would be perfect to post on Borrowed Moments.

The idea of the project is to chronicle a year in our life with 365 photographs taken once a day. It is hard to sum up our daily lives with one picture. It is even harder to put the summation of that life into a few sentences.

One of the first questions I had when reading about Project 365, was what my personal reasons would be for taking part. The answer was two-fold. I am hoping to improve my skill as a photographer and a storyteller. My scrapbooks always seem to be lacking when it comes to the journaling and capturing the emotional message of the pictures. Let's hope that project 365 will help me to grow in this area.

This will be a learning process and I can't wait to share it with all of the others who have decided to take the same journey.

Leave Bree and I comments and/or links to let us know how your Project 365 is going for you.

ADSDesigner's Frostee Blog Train Freebie

I have really been missing being a part of the ADSDesigner's Monthly Blog Train, so I got busy making a few things for everyone this month. Later this month I will be releasing a hybrid kit using another designer's Frostee kit.

This is a digital quick album to fit the Cosmo Cricket Ethan Album using the Frostee kit by Vero @ The Scrapping Tree.

Forgotten Sugar Shoppe Add-on

Lately life has gotten in the way of me getting to sit at the computer and design scrapbook or hybrid kits. Some times though you just have to carve out the time to do the things that you love. So today I spent the whole day designing to my hearts content. Over the next few weeks I will be adding a few new things here on the blog and in the store. I hope that you will enjoy my efforts.

The funny thing was once I sat down at the computer and starting going through my external hard drive, I found some forgotten freebies and projects. I am posting one from the sugar shoppe collab a few months ago.

What can you look forward to in the next few weeks? Well I will be releasing several projects for the January collaboration with ADSD group. The wedding sets that I had hoped to have in the store by now are almost completed and they utilize some new templates. I am so excited about offering something different from my usual kits.

Princess Sleepover Freebie

I am posting late today because I have been busy trying to finish up my part of the ADSDesigners October Collaboration due to be released on October 1. I'll try to do better tomorrow. Also, I have been working on some new wedding kits for the store that I think are going to be really nice. Can't wait for you to see them and let me know.

Here is a new scrapbook page that I worked on today for the Tuesday Template challenge at ScrapMatters. I normally don't use any actions on my photos, but my hubby has been showing me some of his projects and I got jealous. The action that I used on this picture made it look so nice!

Template #14 by NCBdesigns for the Tuesday Template Challenge at ScrapMatters

And I didn't forget about the promised freebie for today from the Princess Sleepover Set. My schedule had to be adjusted a bit, but I still have something for you. This is a cover for a gallon paint can. Stay tuned this week because I will be giving away hybrid goodies to go into the can.

Happy Crafting,

Crafter's Boutique Grand Opening & Next Freebies

I had so much fun with you guys the last few days of the official Grand Opening of the Crafter's Boutique Store. I hope you had as much fun and enjoyed your freebies.

Matter of fact I had so much fun that I decided to do another 7 days of freebies starting tomorrow. Here is a preview of the freebie kit I will be giving away.


That will take us right into the release of the ADSD October collaboration "Sugar Shoppe". Get your fingers and your hard drives ready!

Cherry Sorbet Freebie part 7

I have an adorable blog background to match the Cherry Sorbet Kit for you. I found a tutorial on how to create them, so I decided to play. Let me know if you use it on your blog.

Cherry Sorbet Freebie Day 5 & 6 w/Apology

I owe you a huge apology with the download for day 5. It was suppose to be a mint tin and I goofed with getting the album, blog post and download done before I had to leave. Plus, once I got home I was in serious pain from a RA flare up.

So to make it up to you--I have a key plate album and tomorrows quickpages that will be left up an extra day. There will not be a new blog post tomorrow, but when you come back on Monday I will have a blog background for you. Who knows I might throw in another freebie.

Stay tuned!

ADSDesigner's Cornucopia of Colors Blog Train Freebie

I didn't get to do a countdown to the release of the ADSDesigners September Collaboration this month. Living along the Mississippi Gulf Coast my week has been consumed with watching Hurricane Gustav and making preparations for evacuation. Our plan is to go to Alabama with family and wait out the storm there. To anyone else effected by the storm--be smart and stay safe.
I have some other add-ons almost complete to go with this mini kit. As soon as things clear up here and I am able to give it my full attention, I will post some more goodies for you. In the event that it takes a while, I have created some auto-posts with other freebies.

Be sure to continue along on the blog train and download the other parts to this mega-collaboration. Please be mindful of the hard work and time that the designers put into creating this kit. Show them your appreciation by leaving comments.

My mini-kit includes 5 papers, 2 wordart, 1 embellishment, 1 journaling box, and 1 quickpage.

Let's try that Freebie again.

I think that it is going to be one of those Monday mornings where things just don't go quite like you planned.

It would appear that yesterday's download wasn't complete, so let's try that again.

I've uploaded the final day in the Zoo Spirit Add-On Freebie and checked this time to make sure that it was correct.

Thanks for the comments!

Final day of the Zoo Spirit Add-on Freebie

We've reached the final day in the Zoo Spirit Add-On Freebie, but not the last day that we will be offering freebies on the blog. Check back periodically because as I put new kits in the store I will be offering some here as freebies first.

Thanks for the comments!
