Giving Thanks....

Giving thanks is something I think about frequently. Some people, look at my life and wonder how does Gail do it? Why? Because I'm a caretaker for my favorite guy Basil. 

My husband unexpectedly became disabled in 2007 after back surgery left him a paraplegic.  It took both of us quite a while to accept our new way of life and create a routine that works.  We learned by the seat of our pants which I think made both of us stronger and wiser.  I'm quite a distance from family which puts me pretty much on my own without help. My wonderful husband truly wants me to have whatever it is that makes me happy - and that's him.  Who would ask for more. Every day I give thanks.  I'm terribly grateful for my life, my loving husband, wonderful family, friends and neighbors who are always there to provide a helping hand.  And of course I'm thankful to all of you that use my images for your own creations.   Thank you!

And so Giving Thanks is the theme for my FREE digi this week.  I hope you enjoy it and remember to give thanks.

The FREE DIGI  can be downloaded under the FREEBIE Tab to the left.  It will be available all day Sunday until midnight.

Y'all come back now!

Scary Pumpkins

This week my Book Club friends and I discussed the book Where the Heart Is.   A story of a pregnant teen who rebuilds her life after her boyfriend abandons her, far from home in a Walmart parking lot.  A feel good story that was also made into a movie.  It's a pretty good read.  Rent the movie, it's good.  Our host for the book club made a delicious pumpkin cake.  Oh my, it tasted just like pumpkin pie....so....good!

What inspired me for this weeks FREE digi is Patty's Pumpkin Cake.  We have three funny yet scary pumpkins for you to download all day Sunday.  Grab it only until midnight.  Find the FREEBIE under the FREEBIES tab to the left.

Enjoy and Y'all come back now!

Pumpkins & Scrapbooks

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!

Another Sunday for Pumpkins

10/26/2013

1 Comment

 
Last week my website was listed on the Free Digital Stamps blog for the first time.  I received several positive emails and a comment about my Five Pumpkin digital stamp.  So...... I'm offering this stamp again for FREE this Sunday.   And since this digi has been posted again, I've added a sheet of FREE digital paper.  

Last week-end I took a glitter class in the Smokey Mountains (it was a great visit with wonderful fall weather).  We used an amazing super fine glitter that after it's applied is smooth as velvet.  And, it doesn't shed a bit of glitter after it's applied.   The glitter is made by Elizabeth Crafts  Have you tried it yet?  The technique I learned may have been around for a while but I really enjoyed the class. The glitter is applied to stickers after mounting onto double sided sheets of sticky paper.  On my sample card shown on my 10/15 positing and in the FREE DIGI section of my web page, there's a sample card using glitter glue to highlight the creases in the pumpkin. NOT the same thing!

Here's an idea....Try cutting the sections of the pumpkins and glittering (with micro fine glitter) each pumpkin section.  Then apply a pop dot to each pumpkin section and adhere to the top of the digi print.  I haven't tried this yet but I know it will look amazing.  

Look for a post late tomorrow showing my 3-D Glitter Pumpkins!

Y'all come back now!

Digi Sunday

10/20/2013

It's Digi Sunday and you can grab a free digital image under the FREEBIES tab.  This week's feature is my Five Pumpkin stamp.  Download the image to your computer. If you insert the image into Word, Pages or a photo editing software such as Photoshop, the image can be resized by grabbing the corner of the image and dragging it to the desired size.  The image is a PNG file.  A PNG file allows you to add color to the image using a photo editing software.   This stamp works great for a card or a scrapbook page during the Autumn season.

Welcome Autumn!

Who doesn't just love the Autumn season?  The weather in Tennessee has been perfect --- temperature in the 70's and the sun shining brightly.  In a few weeks the leaves in East Tennessee will be turning shades of red, yellow and orange.  Oh, how I love taking photographs this time of year. These thoughts gave me inspiration for this card. I was thinking of pumpkins, fall, and leaves sprinkled with colors of beauty.

Halloween will arrive in a few weeks and Thanksgiving following close behind.  This digital stamp can be used for any autumn occasion; birthday, get-well, Thanksgiving, or just a friendly note.  The paper I used behind the pumpkins are red, green and gold leaves sprinkled on a dark background. The Autumn Digital Paper-Pak is a set of 9 different background colors sprinkled with autoum leaves.  Find the multi-colored leaf paper, Five pumpkins digital stamp and the sentiment sprinkled with fall leaves for sale on my site. Check back on October 20th and grab the Five Pumpkin Digi for FREE!
