You Thought it Was All Over!!

OK, so you thought we were all done with the CT Collab Kit...but you're wrong there are still 4 more freebies today to finish off. There is some fantastic stuff from Chris!! So get your download finger ready!!

But first....

Would you believe I got my eyelashes dyed Saturday...you would? Well, I did!! I was really bold and decided that I would look so much better with darker eyelashes....why do I do these things? I started off thinking positive..I was going to look great, my own eyelashes are naturally light and even though they are quite long they don't really show. I always forget to put mascara on..or I forget I've got it on.....the latter can give a really cute panda look after I've rubbed my eyes a few times!! So, dying it had to be. Let me tell you it looks great!!! Dark eyelashes and no mascara and so natural looking..a great success!! But....you should know me by now..I never do things by half!!! Whilst I was there the lady commented on how light my eyebrows were, they are really, really light. Perhaps if we darkened them I would look better she suggested and they would be more in keeping with my eyelashes. "Go for it" was my response...wrong one...should have thought this one through!! She said light brown......more black death!! The tint was only wiped on and then off but the effect was devastating!!! I look as if I have glued on a couple of joke ones on in sympathy with Groucho Marks...OK I'm exaggerating..they are not as bushy as Groucho's were!! But you get the gist!! So, yesterday and today I have washed and scrubbed and they are a little fainter (I hope!). But you know what they say about vanity..I should have left well alone or at the very least quit whilst I was ahead and given the eyebrow a miss!! Will I never learn? So now I will pretend that I think they are great as I meet people and see their eyes repeatedly straying to the two caterpillars stuck to my face just above my eyes!! I'll just flutter those great eyelashes and bluff it..of course I meant it to look this way..not!! But the good thing is they will fade...one day!!

Now the great bit of the post...your freebies!! Chris has made something for everyone, there is a cute and stylish Quick Page ready to drop you photo and journaling onto, two paper packs and some lovely doodle elements..she has spoilt us for choice!! Download the QP and one of the paper packs here and then visit Chris's Blog for the elements and second paper pack!!

Almost Done!!

Sorry it's such a late post but today's is Debi's part of the CT Collab Kit and she has been having PC problems. She has not been able to post her blog..but I thought I would hang on..just in case it came right. Then 4shared decided it didn't want to upload the files...grrr!!

So we have to do it a little differently today, I will give you the download links for Debi's kit here on my blog. We have almost reached the end of this huge CT Collab Mega Kit and what a kit it has been! There has been something for everyone in it. The girls have put in a lot of hard work seasoned with lots of imagination and flair. So checkout the wonderful kit for today from Debi, it's brilliant!!

But first.....

Today is a really, really wet day here in the south of England..rain and more rain..yuk!! No this is not the weather forecast...it is relevant..trust me! My cat hates water, especially rain. So he was disgusted to find that "water was falling from the sky" when he ventured out this morning. He bolted for under the shed and shelter..I watched him go from the kitchen window and believe me he's a fast mover but this was super sonic!!! That cat can go! Well, he sheltered there a while and then I suppose boredom set in and he decided to come back in. Unfortunately for him I had moved from the window and as we have no cat flap as yet in our new door..he had to wait. So being the resourceful cat he is, he decided to sit on a patio chair which was sheltered by the umbrella. It was dry and quite comfortable and cats being cats he took a quick snooze.

All was well until my DH came back from visiting and wondered which idiot had left the umbrella up. Feeling a little miffed he went and put it down...wrong thing to do!!! A loud squeal told him so...when the umbrella closed all that water dropped down..yep you got it straight onto the cat!! He was so wet and so cross..the cat not my DH. As DH opened the back door the cat shot in like a bullet and has hidden his poor soaking little body under the couch. "No he will not come out" and "No, he will definitely not forgive!...oh oh..this means payback time is coming!!! Watch out DH!!!

Ok, I've finished so down to business.. today has some cute little tags from me as my add on and a delightful kit from Debi. I adore her stamps..they are a fantastic set of cute elements to set of this lovely kit. Wonderful kit Debi..thank you!! You can find the links below. Enjoy!!

If You Blog - Then This Tip Is For You!

jsch_addon8_borders_pre

Some little freebie borders are Add On 8

Today there are three freebies for you - The Pretty Borders Add On from me and the brilliant Quick Pages from Melanie that you'll find below to download...plus the link to download her fantastic part of the CT Collab kit!! What more could a girl want? No, don't tell me!!

But first.....If you blog then you have got to have this!! It's Windows Live Writer and it is great! It doesn't matter what type of blog you have it is compatible with Blogger, WordPress etc. Kim told me about it and so I just had to have a go. You can write your blog post, add the images all offline and then just post. What I love about it is that you can choose the image size, add border, shadow etc to them. I do so love to play!! Inserting links is easy...well I did make a little mistake this morning...but that was me hurrying again not Live Writer. You can check out how would look on your blog too, before you post it...how cool is that..much better than the preview in blogger too. I'm a convert!! Give it a try, I'm sure you'll love it and no they are not paying me to say this, lol!!

The freebies now!

Without more ado here's the download link for my little add on, the Pretty Borders.

You can download them here

Today's CT Collab Kit and Quick Pages have been made by Mel and she has made a fun contribution with yet an other style to add to the group. I love the mix here, the cloud paper, the fence and that little bird is sooo cute!! An other brilliant job Melanie!! There are two Quick Pages, one has the little bird etc and is just ready for your photo and journaling. The other has been left for you to dress up how you want. I love these!!
