Soon we'll be raking leaves and picking up acorns from the oak trees. My friends collect thousands of acorns for the bears in the Smokies. This week my kids will be visiting to help with yard clean-up only to prepare me for raking the barrels of leaves that fall from my tree lined property.

Working on projects that are too long term usually doesn't work for me. That's why I spend most of my creative juices on card making, rarely spending time scrapbooking. You can guess where all my photo's land...yep, inside a shoe box! On Pinterest I saw an picture of a shabby chic antique looking photo album that caught my eye. I just had to check it out. One site led me to another and I watched several videos. The next several days were spent watching YouTube videos and fascinated with learning how to make a 5" x 7" album. The pages were amazing, and full of flaps, tags, photo mats and pockets. A six page album can contain more than 24 photos and journaling spots. Best of all, the construction of the album can be made in a few hours. Designing the pages and covering them with coordinating paper takes a bit longer. I'm now working on my first 6 X 6", six page album and I'm having so much fun. It's a nice change. This week's FREEBIE is a snow-globe filled with fall leaves and a pumpkin. Download this FREE DIGI all day Sunday until midnight. Find the download in under the FREEBIE tab. Enjoy. Y'all come back now! gailThe summer is coming to an end :( And it will be the end of wearing our summer shorts. Labor Day seems to be the key to alerting us that summer days are close to an end. Schools will be full of students again and the weather will slowly cool down. I don't know about you, but I'm not at all ready to let go of summer. So here's one more digi reminding me of summer, Shorts! Next weeks I'll start to post Fall digital images which is a time of year that's fun to create and draw. Warm colors look good to my eye. Halloween is my favorite for card making. Green, purple, orange and black all seem to fit well together. The holiday's are packed into three consecutive months where you'll see just about everything holiday digi on my blog. Hurry and download SUNDAY'S FREEBIE the Hot Pant Shorts. It's the end of the FREE summer digis. Grab it before midnight Sunday and enjoy. And, visit me next week for a FREE Fall Digi. Y'all come back now! gailI was in need of a Thank-You card for a friend, which prompted the inspiration to draw strawberries. I found a very creative idea on SplitCoastStampers. A card creator took a piece of white card stock and punched holes to create a swiss cheese look, backed it with yellow card stock and added a mouse. Great idea! One that prompted me to say... why didn't I think of that? Next, I searched the internet for a digital image of a mouse and found this adorable image of a mouse holding a strawberry at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. When creating a greeting card I finish the inside with as much time and creativity as I put into the outside of my card (the berries in the picture is the inside of the card). Since Berry Sweet Cocoa Mouse was holding a strawberry, I thought how cute to include a double strawberry to hold a banner for the inside sentiment. And so my strawberry digital image was born. My image has a white space on the bottom berry. I purposely left that open space for a sentiment. Those of you that want to use the image purely as a strawberry can fill in the space with dots to create the missing seeds. You can find my FREE digital image in the FREEBIE section under SUNDAY Digi. Download it for FREE until midnight Sunday. Hope you all enjoy. Why not try using circle punches to create a swiss cheese effect. It's fun and easy. Y'all come back now! GailOne of my favorite summer drinks is Limeade. I'll often purchase this tasty drink at the Sonic Drive-in. Yum!. It's cold and refreshing on a hot summer day. Even better is making a homemade, ice cold pitcher of the sweet, but sour drink. It's easy to make. Mix water, lime juice and sugar to taste. Add ice cubes, pour a little sparkling water into the glass and you have fizz. This week's digi is a glass of limeade topped with a drink umbrella. Color the lime slice yellow and you have a glass of lemonade. Turn the slice into an orange and you have a cocktail. Download this free digi all day Sunday until midnight.. Find the FREE download under the FREEBIE tab. Grab it soon! Happy Summer! Y'all come back now. gailDidn't the summer months fly by quickly.

This weeks FREE DIGI will spark up your scrapbook pages for those back-to-school moments snapped with your phones and cameras.

Grab your SUNDAY FREEBIE until midnight Sunday. Download free in the FREEBIE section. Happy School Days. Y'all come back now! gailPeach season will soon be ending and I'll miss my favorite fruit. When ripe they taste so sweet and juicy. I purchased a container of very excellent tasting peaches only to receive a call that the California packer had discovered Listeria bacteria in their equipment. The peaches I bought may have been tainted. Thousands of people were effected. Did you get a call too? You know, I was not a happy peach lover after that phone call. After researching the strain of bacteria I found that the incubation period can be up to 70 days. Wasn't too happy after reading that information either. The good news is that I feel fine with no symptoms with 19 days from ingesting. I have 51 more days ahead of me with the task of trying not to worry and keeping positive. So.....it's not going to be peaches this Sunday but PEARS. Sunday's FREEBIE is a pair of pears and word art that simply says You're a Sweet Pair.

Enjoy and Y'all come back now. gailWhen I was very young I remember visiting my Grandmother, who we called Nanna. Often Nanna would babysit me in her apartment. She had a red round tin about 12" tall and 8" in diameter. On the top of the lid sat a round clear crystal knob filled with large chunks of salt. I'm guessing now that the salt's purpose was to keep the items contained in the can fresh. Nanna always kept crackers in her red tin. I remember her handing me the tin to play with and struggling to pull off the lid to get my snack. When banging the tin with a spoon it would make a ringing sound that annoyed Nanna. It wasn't long until the spoon disappeared from my play area and I was back to tugging at the lid for my snack. It's a pleasant memory and for year's I searched antique shops for the pre 1950's cracker tin. Never found it. Now that I'm a grandmother my tin is not tin but plastic and I fill it with cookies rather than crackers. But if I ever find that red cracker tin, my granddaughter Lily will have the opportunity to share my experience of tugging at the lid of a red cracker tin with a crystal knob and playing a tune by banging with a spoon. This weeks SUNDAY DIGI is FREE until midnight. You can find it under the FREEBIES TAB. Happy Birthday America! Enjoy and Y'all come back now. gailSummer is perfect for having picnics. Where I live, many of us gather outside at the picnic pavilion and share our covered dishes. Doesn't the food always taste better when someone else does the cooking? Well, maybe not all the time. Watermelon is a favorite in our house. It's juicy, sweet and the reddish pink color just makes it look scrumptious. I decided to bring Watermelon Salsa to our last picnic. It's surprisingly delicious. Those of you who are food adventurous can find the recipe at foodnetwork.com. This week's FREE DIGI is a watermelon stack. You can download the file by going to the FREEBIES tab, then to SUNDAY DIGI. I used this week's watermelon digi on my scrapbook page that I'm making for the picnic we just attended. It would also be fun to use it on an invitation or a greeting card. Enjoy this Sunday's FREEBIE until midnight and grab yourself a juicy watermelon! Y'all come back now! gailThe 4th of July falls on Friday this year. We get to celebrate with a three day week-end -at least most of us. We love watching the sky light up with millions of lights in celebration of freedom. When we lived in the city we watched the fireworks fom our patio. Buster, our dog, wasn't too happy with the sound of the fierce "booms" that filled the air. He spent his evening hiding under the bed! Now, we sit with friends on the bank of the river with a cooler of snacks and a few cold drinks while we enjoy the sparkles that light up the sky. And Buster, he stays home where the fireworks can't be heard from where we live now. I'm looking forward to the long week-end and celebrating the 4th! How about you? This week's FREE digi is a firework rocket in celebration of the upcoming holiday. Go to the FREEBIE Tab and download my digi FREE all day Sunday. Enjoy! Y'all come back now! gail |
