Two delights...and a New Ct Collab!!

How was your weekend? Good I hope..mine was wet and busy. I'm still on schedule to do some decorating this week as my son is away it works well but I have to add my DH is living in fear of the chaos that he is sure I will cause...Oh yea of little faith!! As if I would!!

My kitchen and dinning room lead off each other, so once I start it's all or nothing. Hopefully it's all. Last time I decorated the hall and stairs everyone knew about it, could have been they were psychic or it could have been the paint in my hair that lingered. Is it just me that ends up with all those little white dots when they paint the ceiling? They are tiny but they have great coverage!! I just thought I looked pale and interesting..most people used other words to describe me, like messy, sick looking etc. Lets face it...you can dust sheet all you want but not your head..I suppose I could wear a balaclava, goggles and a mask...could work, but imagine the shock value if I answered the door!! Or worse still the lowered visibility could produce all sorts of strange results.

OK, enough of that..scrapping and treats now....lots of gifts for you today, a Quick page and a Page Kit from me AND my brilliant CT girls have made an other Collab Kit this month for you, their theme is the Beach! There will be a new part everyday from them..and what a week they have planned for you, packed full of goodies! So be prepared to blog hop and collect them during the next few days.

Here's my first freebie, a Quick Page, yes it's the Beach theme! I had so much fun making the Beach Hut and I used a paper from Leaonna's kit, a paper and the anchor came from Bina's kits and the great deck chair and Sand Dollars are from Kim's kit. just to give you a taste of things to come!

You can download the Quick Page here

PLUS today Bina is sharing her wonderful mini kit with you all. It has some lovely papers and some exotic elements, ideal for that tropical beach!!

You can download it at Bina's blog, so drop by and don't forget to leave her some love!!

And then I have an other freebie for you to snag, it's my part of the great free August Supa Digi Kit at Scrappin Digi Kreations. Don't forget to check out the other parts of this great free Mega Kit, those ladies have made some great stuff as usual!!

Just a quick post tonight. I have one more freebie to post for this week and as 4shared played up earlier in the week, it has left me running late with the freebies.  So I thought I would post it before the weekend really started. I hope you have some fun playing with it!

It's a  flower today, a bit different from the last flowers and it's Commercial Use OK. The download includes the two coloured flowers plus a psd file in grayscale and png files in grayscale. Hopefully this means that more people will be able to use them and design their own flower.

You can download it here

Great news too if you like a bargain, check out my store at Studio Style Designs as everything, commercial use and new products included are on sale at 40% off this Saturday and Sunday!! So drop by and check it out!

My thanks go to all the people that have commented and emailed me about the horrid caterpillars, soon to be horrid moths!! I appreciate all the info and have accepted the fact that unless I want to kill off half the family with toxic pesticides, I have to let nature run its course and hope that the moths head away from the house...not into it..... when they hatch!!

Next week I am planning to decorate my kitchen and dinning room...that should be fun..not!! Hopefully it will be uneventful and boring but with me around you just never know, so watch this space! At the moment my DH is looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights....he hates decorating and tries to stay away from it as much as possible...especially if I'm doing it. It always brings disruption surprises...or so he says! Lol! But we shall see.

This must be my shortest post ever...told you it would be quick!! I hope you all have a relaxing weekend and take care of each other.

It's Official - I'm a Wylde Woman!!

Today's freebie is a template, it is in psd and png files to make it usable for more of you.

But first............this could be a long post, so grab the coffee/tea/juice etc and put your feet up...could be awkward doing that, so give the feet bit a miss! But get comfy!

First, yes it's official...I'm a Wylde woman! No, not the shouting, arm waving type.....it's for nice people! Ok, you ask..why give it to me! But seriously I got the award from the lovely Susie2shoes. I'm honoured that Susie thought of me, thank you so much Susie!

 

 

The Purpose of the Award: To send love and acknowledgment to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy.

The rules are :-

1. You can give it to one or one hundred or any number in between - it's up to you. Make sure you link to their site in your post.

2. Link back to this blogsite (http://http://www.tammyvitale.com/) so Tammy can go visit all these wonderful women we've given it to.

So after some thought I would like to pass it to:

1. Kim of Kim's Scrapping as no matter how busy she is with her own life, she always has time to share and help others. Her generosity is amazing and I'm also honoured to count her as my friend.

2. Someone else that I feel deserves this award is Kat or Tragedy Anne, she is one lady with courage who often makes me smile when I feel down. Kat has taught me so much about people and of course advertising, lol! As you may be aware Kat has been very sick recently and I don't expect her to pass this on...but I wanted to give it to her to acknowledge the fact that she really deserves it.

3. My last one is Irene Alexeeva. When I first started scrapbooking  she was my inspiration,and still is. I love her work and I used to enjoy her chats. She is a truly talented designer and one who shares readily and takes such pleasure in her family and work. A lovely lady with real style!

That's me I'm done!! And now to scrapping! I have two new Paper packs in my shop at SDK and as usual they are 40% off for the first week. Each pack has 12 papers, not all are shown in the previews.

Mixed Medley Papers Volume 1 - 40% off this week at Scrappin Digi Kreations

And no I haven't forgotten, the download for the template....

You can download the Template here

Here's a layout I made of the lovely Lilly using it. I made a little adaptation and didn't use the journaling box. I played around with the photos, first I made them black and white and then after a little more playing I gave them a tint. I like the effect it gave.

 

On our last sunny day I had the paddling pool out and Lilly just loved the water!! She laugh and splashed and reminded me how little things we take for granted can bring such pleasure. I even smiled as I got soaked by her!! That girls a fast learner and it didn't take her long to workout that those plastic tubs were great for throwing water....at grandma!!

The cheek of her!!

I found out a bit more about those awful caterpillar. Susie told me that they can give you skin irritation if you touch them...yuck!! And Rachel told me they turn into big ugly moths...Tussock Moths. So I am going to scour the Internet for a picture of them to see what is going to be invading me next! I have this picture in my mind of my son being attacked by clouds of giant moths...best not tell him that though!! Lol!!

Well, I had best go and climb into my bed, it's really late her...in fact it's tomorrow already!! Bye for now and take care!
