Scrappin' Freestyle News/Chat with SeAScrApS

Remember when I said I was hosting FOUR different template challenges? Well, one of the challenges is at Scrappin' Freestyle and I didn't post about a prize. And that's because, the posting prizes at SFS are from collaboration kits created by the Element Team (on which I serve). For January, we put together a rockin' seventies kit called Cinnamon Sweetness. Here's my contribution for the kit:

Just for participating in the challenges at SFS, you will receive parts of the entire Cinnamon Sweetness kit. And what's more fun than the fact that *I'm* hosting the Template Challenge? Come and play with me!! In fact, I put a new template up for the 2nd half of January!!! Take a peek in the Template Challenge Gallery to see what others have done with the temlpate I provided.

And of course, don't forget about Chats with SeAScrApS at DST tonight and every Wednesday starting at 10 pm ET/9 pm CT.Come visit with Heidi and me at SeAScrApS new crops at Digishoptalk on Wednesday nights from 10-11pm Est. Each week there will be a SeAScrAps Challenge. We will be promoting one of SeAScrApS kits for 50% off. This weeks kit is Snowflakes with over 100 elements!

It will be an exciting night for everyone and did I mention there will be freebies? In fact, each week you receive QP freebies created with the featured kit, but once a month, Sandra gives the entire featured kit to all the chat participants for FREE!!! She never reveals when the kit will be given away, so be sure to mark your calendars for Wednesday nights from 10-11p.m. and come join the fun.!!!

Template Challenges GALORE

Hi everyone. Today has been a long day. Both kids are sick with a virus, both running temps over 100, and both cranky as can be. Not to mention that they both want Mommy which makes for a long day. I was soooo close to weaning Cayden completely, and now we're back to phase 1. But when all he'll do is nurse, I'm so thankful that I'm still nursing.


Anyway, I am the host of 4 template challenges for January for 4 different sites. I'm sooo excited, and have been soooo busy this evening attempting to get the challenges up and ready to roll. There are four completely different templates, 1 at each site. I've been hosting the template challenges at SZ, BBSD, and KJOI for some time now, but I've added SFS to the mix. Of course, I'm still learning that site, so when I figure out where to upload the actual zip files, I'll post a link back here reminding you to go and play with the template there as well.

The template and my LO for the challenge at SZ look like this:

The kit I used for my LO is Pretty Flowers by CanDesigns. And this is actually a QP that I created. The little girl in the picture is Nickie's and Joel's eldest daughter, Lexi, at Hannah's birthday party in August. She's such a cutie and turns two years old in 2 weeks! If you want to play along in this Template Challenge, go here and read all the rules and how to get the template.


The template and LO that I created for BBSD are here:


Again, I used Pretty Flowers by CanDesigns for this LO and turned it into a QP as well. This is a photo of Aunt Debbie that Uncle Kenny took earlier this week. You can learn all about how to play along with this template here.

This will be my second month hosting the template challenge at KJOI Studios. I have not created a LO with the template I made for this particular challenge. I cannot wait to play with this template. You can go here if you want to play along with this template.

And lastly, I am hosting the first ever template challenge at Scrappin' Freestyle. I have the template created but I do not know where I should upload it to start the challenge, so all I can do is share the template preview with you. This is another template that I cannot WAIT to create a layout with (<-- I know that's bad grammar, but it's sooo late). Anyway here's the preview. If you want to play along with this template, click hereI created my LO using Miss Michaela by Becki Kress. It's available at Color Line Designs. This kit is PERFECT for LOs with little girls. Just look at how awesome it matches the girls' shirts in the photo I used. The template was created by me. I used some actions by Atomic Cupcake to help with the torn and folder papers.

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Eliminated and Special Kit

I've been eliminated from the Just for the Scrap of It contest. I'm really okay with it. I haven't even been online since early Tuesday because I started to run a temperature of 101+. Went to the doctor today. I have strep throat. Yup. Yuck. Ow. My throat hurts so much. Even with the gooey stuff I have to gargle to help with pain. It's not helping. I think I may take some tylenol and go to bed.


I have completed a new kit though. And I'm going to go ahead and use the Round Three theme to create a new kit as well.


And I'm now selling in 3 stores, a designer assistant at one store, and on the Element Team for another forum. I'm so excited. I'm lovin' this.


My Stores: ScrappersZone, BusyBeeScrapper Designs, and KJOI Studios.

I'm Sandra (aka SeAscrAps) Designer Assistant over at Digital Candy

And I'm on the Element Team at ScrappinFreeStyle


So, I'm pretty busy. Okay, on to my new stuff. I'm almost down with my brag book collection number 2. I'm working on a Christmas Card Template Collection.

I've finished my most personal kit, With Love for Elise. This is a scrapbooking kit created in memory of my niece, Elise, who was born still last October. I created a memory book for my sister and with her permission have created a scrapbook kit complete with papers, ribbons, word art, and quickpage templates of a memory book. I cannot wait to share it with the world. I'm working on some finishing touches. With this kit, the profits made on the sales will be given to Silent Grief, a place where you can receive support for all who have suffered miscarriage, stillbirth, and later child loss.




It is not for sale yet, I will get it up in my stores ASAP!!








And now, a few new LOs. The first two were created using my Kids in the Kitchen Kit available at my stores :)

This one was created with Little Boy by Sarah Designs available at HotSpotScraps and ScrapWorld

First

So IkeaGoddess has a challenge on hosted at The Meadow, and since she found ME as a template designer and even put me on her blog, I thought I'd play along with the other scrappers. This challenge was to create a LO about a FIRST EVENT. It has to include the following:

• a large title


• a bright background


• one of Gina's Playing With Wire elements

Here's my LO:

I created this using September's Child by SeAscrAps (available at ScrappinFreestyle or DigitalCandy). Template by Tanya B at Digital Candy. This was the template for the August Template Challenge that I didn't participate in (LOL).
