Cool Bananas...I've got an award

WOW I've just got my first blog award...sure I don't deserve it that much lately coz I've not had anything to share for a while...our internet connection has been really useless lately and it's been so frustrating to try to upload my stuff to 4shared that I've all but given up...not creating...as I've heaps of mini kits done..just in uploading...I've been on to our provider and they've given me some DNS strings so hopefully they'll work so might give it a go over the week end..

Now I must say thank you to Rachael over at leahsfrog-myfirstfreebie for her kindness in awarding me with my first award. Please take the time to click on the image below and take a peek at her wonderful offerings

Well by for now and I do hope to get some more freebies up for you soon.

Well it's taken a little longer than expect to actually get my files uploaded for my new kit All About Men ...well it's been over a week now and I had to make the files smaller than I wanted so I do apologise as there are now 4 downloads for the quick pages and the backgrounds and elements have 2 each. I'm surprised I have any hair left...it's been driving me insane..the uploads get to about 70% and stop.

For now please find the quick pages for your use and you may download them if you want to.

Here are the links going from the top left in a clockwise direction

Quick page Top Left
Quick Page Top Right
Quick Page Bottom Right
Quick Page Bottom Left

Stay tuned as I'll be adding the background and the elements in the next couple of days.

Look what I found on my PC, forgot that I'd finished this mini kit...well I'll call it mini as it doesn't have all the usuals bits I put in. Was hunting thru my design folder looking for something and there it was Back to School



If you wish to download, here's the link

And stay tuned as I do have another freebie in the making for you...All about Men, hopefully this kit will fill the gap that we with teenage or adult males need. I found so many beautiful kits with all the nice little girly elements of bows, ribbons, flowers etc that just don't work for our guys. Most male kits are usually theme orientated..this one is in browns and blues with a leather look to some of the backgrounds, a couple of quick pages ...now these will be separate and some cool fun masculine bits and bobs, I should hopefully get the quick pages up sometime this week so as I said stay tuned :)

Well bout time I ventured back here. I've been really busy creating a scrapbook slide show for my Mum for Mothers Day and her birthday. There's 41 pages and alot of the them are of my dear Dad who passed quite a few years ago. I do hope it'll bring her happiness as well as a lot of tears - well I don't mean I want her to cry :) but you know what I mean - , as it did me in creating it. When Mum and & Dad married back in 1951 they mucked up the wedding photos so I've tried to fix them as best as possbile and I had them printed using Scrapbooks Please, and yes I was very pleased indeed with the result. So Mum now has a nice wedding album even if it's a little late lol

So I've now joined a new scrap site RAKScraps and have entered the following in the Mega Kit April Challenge..and this is it...what ya reckon ???

If you like to download it just click away right here

Just a quick one for you...knocked this up the other night just for something to do and thought I'd share it with you

To download click here

I've just finished another kit, for all you circus lovers....Roll Up Roll Up is now available for download. Hope you like it...it's nice and bright great for those pics of your kids...well adults to I guess....

Here's the link for download, please leave me a comment or two as I really do like to read them and it makes doing these designs even more worthwhile :) It's the only payment I receive and it makes me all warm and fuzzy :)

Thanks.

For those who kindly told me the link for the NSW and NT stuff on the sunburnt country wasn't working...tis all fixed now. I would have contact you personally but I didn't have any details...hopefully you'll check back and see that all's good and thanks also for you wonderful comments...ta :)

IT'S FINALLY ARRIVED!!! WOW the huge Aussie mega kit Sunburnt Country…I guess I can call it mega coz there’s 23 backgrounds, also every state amd territory has it’s own mini kit with 2 backgrounds and 4 elements each. There’s 4 quick pages, 9 frames, 3 alphas, and 3 pages of Aussie sayings with 1 for us Adults ;)…a little rude but not too bad lol….numberous tags and brads, a whole folder full of Aussie themed dur of course or else it wouldn’t be an Australian kit would it now….with over 40 different embellishments…if you can’t find something to use well there’s just no pleasing ya !! I've had heaps of trouble uploading this to 4shared and have fortunately found another file sharing site....DivShare...so you'll find some of the kit is on 4shared and of course the other is DivShare...I've tested the zip files so all should be good, but if it's not please let me know and I'll see what I can do :)

I would like to give thanks to the following friends from Scrapbook Flair community, for without their help, inspiration, ideas and encouragement this kit may never have come to fruition.

Drum roll please............and here it tis :)

As it's rather large and due to the upload probs I'm sorry but I've had to upload it in 6 parts, total pain as it was meant to be 3 files but I guess the positives are at least if you only want certain states you don't need t download them all.

I'm so sorry everyone....if you guys have been around here looking for my Sunburnt Country kit...please be patient...I'm having so much trouble :( uploading...it's driving me abolsutely crazy with frustration...the uploads are either timing out or telling me they've completed but then just don't appear....grrrr very annoying to say the least...so the kit is one it's way it just in the hands of the ether gods lol.....

Well I've just managed to get another freebie uploaded tonight for you. This one was in the Easter Parade kit but as I said before the colours kinda clashed so I removed it but still wanted to share.

So here ya go one preview



and the link for download is here is you want it.

As promised a new kit for you all "Easter Parade" it's all in pretty pastel colours with some lovely Easter elements. My friend Tracy has the naming rights as I couldn't think of anything suitable. :) Stay tuned coz there's another QP on it's way soon. This ones in slightly darker colours so would suit older kids.




I had to upload in two lots as it was taking way toooooooooo long :)

To download the alphas and backgrounds click here

and the embellishment here

As promised one the for the boys!! Hope you enjoy :) The bunny looks a little dark here but I think you find he's a little lighter. Well he was on my PC only darkened once I uploaded him. If he is a little dark for you let me know and I'll lightened him up a little and re-upload for you :)

WOW I didn't realise it's been so long since I was here. Sorry to any of you who may have been checking back here in hope of another freebie I've been busy doing other stuff. I am currently in the middle of a few freebies for you... for all my Australian mates I've been working on a huge Australian theme freebie for you, it's loaded with stuff and with the help of many who have submitted ideas for it, it's grown considerably and I've not managed to be able to stop. Just put it on hold for a moment as I need to play with something else so as Easter is just around the corner I've just done a little quickpage for you all, this ones probably more for the little bunnettes, I guess I'll do one for the boy bunnies as well. Whilst I've been doing this it's also turned in a mini kit so stay tuned as this will be arriving soon. I hope anyway lol
