Been Busy...


I've been phenomenally busy...traveling, long hours, and not much time for anything else.
I've got more time today, in between of cooking dinner to meet challenges, upload files, etc., than I've had in a couple of weeks.

I've gotten a few pages done - but first I want to put out the links to my latest Kit!
This meets the November Design Challenge at Creative Victorian's Forum:

and the links for the downloads are:

Challenges Met...

It's been a bit since I posted something, so I have all kinds of stuff today.

First, is the entry for Creative Victorian's October Design Challenge. This was done using a fixed pallette...I kinda got carried away with this one...
It's HUGE!
You can click on the preview to see a larger picture, and here are the download links.....

I worked hard creating this kit - please respect that and don't repost ... Send your friends to my blog to download!
















I also did the Heritage Challenge over at Creative Victorian, and as a twist, used the kit above to develop the pages. The Heritage Challenge for the first half of October was Children's Toys, and always "Heritage" is defined as pre-1970. These pages capture a handful of moments between 1960 and 1965, and feature me, along with my younger sister and brother...

I'm not at all sure what they're going to say about this!!! And further - I'm not sure I really care!

Then there's the pages I did of my youngest daughter, Amy, for the Altered Art Challenge....















The challenge was "funny faces" and there ain't too many funnier than her! On one side are pictures from her Graduation Party, and on the other from the night of her prom...and both almost resemble the bulletin board in her room - which provided inspiration!

And lastly, is another altered art kind of layout - this one for the Color Challenge. We were given Blue and copper as our colors, and this is what I came up with.

Many many moon ago, in a place far away from Southwest Florida, Amy was the Good Fairy Princess in her kindergarten school play. She spent half the play on stage with a handfull of glitter, and at just the right moment tossed it all up in the air over everyone, casting her good spell and making all right again with the world! I made her costume, with some really cool sheer multicolored material... and grandma and grandpa came to see the play and present the Diva of the Day with Roses!!

That's all I've got today...
I'd appreciate any comments or luvins you may decide to leave...

I figured it out - so everyone gets a freebie!

After spending 2 days trying to figure out how to make this blog work, and getting a layout I liked, I'm ready to give something to my visitors ...

This is a kit I made to answer the September Design Challenge at Creative Victorian Design's new forum.
Right now it has no name - do any of you have any ideas?
Click on the preview for more detail - I couldn't get the preview as clear as i had wanted...but the larger one is just great!

If you Download, leave some constructive feedback, maybe an idea for a kit name, and maybe even some love in the comments!!
Here are the links - the kit is broken into 2 parts, for ease of downloading.
