8 Second Ride * FREEBIE

I'm so excited to share Wendy Tunison's newest kits with you! She's got two fabulous Rodeo kits releasing today! Here's a look at them...

And she even bundled them up at an even better price for you if you want both kits!

What's even better is they are all on sale through Sunday night at SNP and NDISB. There are Grand Opening Sales and Naturally Guilt Free Thursday sales going on at both stores so check both for the best price on any given day although I'll give you a little hint and tell you that the best price is going to be Thursday at SNP when all digi kits are 40% off! After that, the price will vary through Sunday with the sales and then on Monday, the prices will go back to regular prices! Kinda confusing, right? Well, just use my little hint above for the best deal! LOL!

Here's what our amazing creative team did with these kits and if one of us made you a freebie, just click on the preview to head over to that blog to pick it up and be sure to tell them thank you! They work so hard to bring you a goodie each week!

Don't forget about Quarters for Love. It's an easy way to get some great savings on Wendy's kits and those of others too!

Here's my freebie for you! Enjoy!

Danielle Young has a new kit out: Discover I love the colors in this kit! I decided to use it for this adorable photo of my daughter at the beach. I love how the colors match her swim suit.

I hope you like it!

Just Wanna Have Fun

My kids make me smile. Sure, I say that all the time, but I really do mean it. They bring me such joy and I just love all the many twists and turns to their personalities. Here is Samantha giving me one of her many smiles:

It's the smile that says, 'Here I am, Mom. You want to take my picture and I will happily indulge you because I'm so cute ..." That's one of the reason I take so many pictures and then can't delete any of them! Sure, I don't need hundreds, but every picture captures a subtlety of expression and yet another aspect of them ... I want to remember it all!!!

I used A+Designs, Just Wanna Have Fun, and Kitty Designs, School Days Sketch.

I hope you like it!!!

I get some great photos of my kids ... they're so cute! This is my youngest son ... who has the most gorgeous eyes and the softest hair ... he's a ham and quite an individual. I love him to bits!

I took these photos of him a few months ago that just turned out so beautifully ... in focus and clear, good lighting and a cheerful subject. I fell in love with them (and him) instantly! However, I was waiting and keeping them reserved until I could make a fabulous layout for them ... I wanted something with orange, but not too orange, and then along came Danielle Young's Pumpkin Muffin kit and I knew it was perfect!


I love how the purple background really makes the photos pop and the combo of orange and purple is really cheerful! But the focus is still on the photos and I love it!
I also used Kitty Designs template, Frametastic Double 2.

Pumpkin Muffin is on sale now! So head on over and get it :)

I hope you like it!
