I apologise to those of you who have been trying to download the April Supa Digi Kit from Scrappin Digi Kreations for this weeks challenge and had problems. The shop server has been giving problems since Tuesday and the shop has been offline. I am so sorry and so I have extended the challenge deadline until next Wednesday. If you still want to join in. Kim was one of the lucky ones who had downloaded it already before the problems and what a gorgeous layout she made with it!! The colours look great and her photo is perfect for the Spring theme...beautiful tulips. I love the quote and it is oh so true!! Those squares are really effective Kim! Great page!

I always seem to have so much to say...I must learn to press the stop button!!But here I am, better late than never. Today's freebie is a little kit called after my little sweetie, Lilly. I hope you like it.

If you look you can see I have a new blinkie for those who want to snag it. I thought it was time for a change...but as my blinkie skills are not so great I have one made by Bobbie of One ScrappyMom , she does a blinkie of your choice and she does such a marvellous job, much better than my last attempt!! So, if you want to snag the new one, just right click and save it. Great for forums, blogs etc. Also if you need a blinkie for your blog or for a personal one for the forums check out her new shop and you will get a pleasant surprise. Communication is good and Bobbie will contact you when she has received you order and agree with you exactly what you need. She emails it to you for approval and she makes sure that you are happy with it. A fantastic service and she is sooo reasonable!!

Bobbie also has a great freebie mini kit called Renewed on her blog to celebrate opening her new shop, so drop by and snag it and leave her some love!

This weeks challenge has been quite popular and I have had lots of beautiful layouts doing clever things with the overlay. Thank you all for joining in and for sharing you layouts with us. I am amazed at what you do and the wonderful results. Chris's layout is lovely, lots of white space with the focus on the lovely photo. The title is perfect...love it!! Stunning effect Chris!

In the next one the picture says it all.. what a wonderful expression!! Here the journaling tells all and explains that far away look. The title too is great..with part just overlapping the top of the photo and the little strings and eyelets frame the photo beautifully. Superb work on this one Bettina!!
