Happy Thanksgiving...

to those that celebrate the day:) I hope it's a wonderful day for all:)

Gonna' spend my day cleaning up my blog, getting rid of old posts and trying to organize it better. DH is going hunting at 1 and won't be back til dark...hopefully with a trophy buck so I don't have to hear any more about deer season!

Got a few Christmas items in the works and I'll try to get them finished and packaged before the weekend is over. It's been way too long since I've blogged and I really miss it.

Big hugs to all:)

Spooky Autumn

Yippee Skippee...I'm Leading Lady for the month of October over at MIS and starting tomorrow, October 1, you can start downloading a piece (or 2) of this free kit each day for the entire month:)

You must be a registered member to be able to snag the Leading Lady Daily Downloads so if you're not already registered over there...take out 3 minutes of your time now and register. We have a new Leading Lady every month and these talented gals give out some great stuff each day so add it to your daily list of places to visit...you won't be sorry, that's for sure!

Each LL download will only be available for 24 hours...then it goes into the subscription area of our sight. Have you checked that puppy out??? Holy Scrap...there are currently 135 items for download...and the price is so sweet...only $1.99 for an entire month! So many downloads, so little money:) So think about it seriously...you can probably snag some stuff you've missed!

OK...on with the previews of my LL Spooky Autumn Kit which you can access here. Click on the previews for a larger view:)

Don't tell Candy but this kit will only get me to about the 17th of the month. I'm working on a fantabulous Thanksgiving kit to finish out the month and I'll post the preview of that as soon as it's finished...you'll be wanting to snag that one too...it's really cool!

OK guys and gals...gotta' say bye-bye for now! There just aren't enough hours in the day for me lately with getting the final judging done on the new Element Team and all other kinds of excitement.
Hope this finds you all doing well and big hugs all around:)

Ooohhh, I'm a bad blogger

But I hope you'll forgive me 'cause I've been so danged busy with summer, finding out I have diabetes (which really pissed me off, btw), scrapping, and life in general.
And I can only stay for a minute so I'll get right to it! Ya' gotta' keep an eye on the Makeitscrappy.com blog throughout the rest of September 'cause I'm giving away an awesome kit called Funky Fall...and it's over 135 megs! Geez, I had fun doing this one and I think you'll love it!


Every Tuesday and Friday you need to check the MIS Scrappy Scoop Blog to get the skinny on the latest portion of the kit...it's in 6 parts and takes us to the end of September. I'm really excited about this one as I haven't had a freebie go out in so long so please don't miss it. You don't have to be registered or anything to collect this massive kit so I hope to see you all downloading like mad tomorrow.

Here's an early preview but don't tell anyone you saw it here first!

Isn't it just yummy looking...lol. Gotta' run for now...I foolishly skipped lunch and I'm rushing to make an early dinner to compensate before I pass out...damn my bad luck!

Hope you're all doing well and I'll have another post for ya' tomorrow...shocked, aren't ya'...roflol. Big hugs to all!

Summer Love Freebie

See...told ya' I'd be back...lol. I made a special paper and some ribbons just for my blog readers and they're in the Summer Love colors. Ya' can't buy these anywhere...ain't ya' feeling just so special:) So here's the skinny:

You can pick it up here.

I gotta' get going...just found out I have diabetes about 2 weeks ago and now today, my older sis was diagnosed with it too...what the hell are the odds of that!!!! I'm on pill and diet therapy and she has to take insulin. And I'm supposed to be testing my blood but my Doc never discussed that part with me so I gotta' run to her office and get some supplies. Ain't life full of surprises...sheesh:( I'm getting all stressed out so I'd better go walk some of this off.

Hope you enjoy the mini-kit and I'll get back to ya' all later.

Big hugs to all...Mollie

CT Call

I'm so excited I could pee...again...rofl! I'm not sure if I can tell you the name of the store yet as it doesn't open until August 1st so I guess mums the word for now.
And now the begging begins....please, please, please, don't be shy about applying! And if you don't have any experience with this sort of thing...not to worry...neither do I but I can tell ya' we'll sure as hell have fun on this journey! And please send all your friends here so they can apply too. My biggest fear is that no one will apply and then I'll get all depressed and be crying and making my life miserable...and I know you wouldn't want that for me now would you...lol.

And don't think for 1 minute that the freebies are gonna' come to an end...never happen! They are just too much fun to give away!

I have no time to tell you all about the wedding...haven't even taken the pics off the camera yet...but it'll be coming...pics and all! I have several kits in the works right now and no time for anything else as I'm on such a tight time frame before the store opens but one of the kits is for sure a really nice freebie so make sure to watch for it soon.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll be waiting for those CT Call emails to start rolling in:)
Big hugs to all of you:)

Showing off today.

(WARNING...long freaking post) I just have to show you the 3 items I've made as a member of the Elements Team over at Digital Candy. These were the first 3 kits that I designed for the 12x12 scrapper and I'm mighty proud of them:)
And the best part is that you can get them for free simply by completing one of their fun challenges...how cool is that! They haven't finalized the prizes to challenge list just yet but I'll be getting that info and will let you know which kit is going with what challenge in the near future. But for now, I just want to show off my stuff...lol

Here's my tribute to our Canadian friends...I just love this kit:

Here's my minikit called Green Grass of Summer...such soft pretty colors:

And here's my favorite of all of the 3 we've done so far...my tribute to the USA:

Aren't they all just luscious...lol! I'm very proud of them and I want you to get your scrappinbutts over to DC and check out their challenges. The other girls on the Elements Team have made some gorgeous kits also (all in the same 3 schemes) and I just know you'll want to get every single one of them.

And ya' looking for a freebie candy grab bag? Get over to DC and sign up for their first ever newsletter called "The Candy Dish" and get a great grab bag free when the issue comes out. Go here to sign up NOW!
Well, I'm done bragging now and on to other news. Thanks for letting me share these previews with you and I'm working on a blog freebie for you all right now:)

I'm going to be gone for the next week to my nieces wedding in Indiana. My older sis (Deb) and I are leaving here at noon on Tuesday and driving to our younger sisters (Monica) house in Elkart Lake, WI. Then early, early Wednesday a.m. we'll be leaving for Indianapolis, hoping to miss the gridlocks in Chicago and Indy. I wanted to get up at 5 and be on the road by 6 but all I heard was screaming on both ends of the phone line...roflmao! Couple of sissy's if you ask me so I guess we'll be leaving at 7 and won't get to our destination til 2 or 3! And I wanted to be there by noon 'cause we got a lot of shopping to do on Wednesday. Gotta' go buy all the food for the reception! My sis Deb and I offered to cater the event and we are also making the wedding cake. It's in my freezer now as I baked the last layer yesterday!

Today we're making a very specialized wedding cake topper...2 Indy Colts horseshoes intertwined with the 7 nail holes on one side and their names on the other side. Let me tell ya' that you'll be getting pictures of this puppy...I have a beautiful vision in my mind and Deb and I are going to execute it flawlessly even if we come to blows over it...lol

And what is Monica going to be doing, you ask? Can you say S L A V E...lol! She'll be our gofer til Friday the 13th...the official wedding day! Then she's going to gather all her lists and the lists that she's made lists from and become the official Wedding Coordinator, although she prefers the term Wedding Helper Extraordinaire...lol She's so modest:) She's the one that's going to keep everything flowing smoothly, moving forward and making sure there is nothing missed in all the pomp and ceremony...all the while looking and acting flawlessly. This girl could make you want to run right out and buy a gunny sack that's been through a fire once she puts it on and adjusts and accessorizes it! Just beautiful and oh, so diplomatic.

When I called her yesterday and asked her if she'd take on that responsibility I laughed til I almost peed. This is me: Hey you shitbums...put your damned beers down and get your f'ing asses over to the cake table...it's time to cut the damned cake! This is Monica: in a soft yet firm voice...Ivory and Randy, in about 3 minutes we'll be starting the cake cutting ceremony so if you wouldn't mind, I'll meet you at the cake table then...insert very sweet smile and nodding of head! ROFLMAOPIMP! See why we need her so badly...lol

The main reasons we took this all on is so our youngest sister Kim, can just be the mother of the bride for the day. Kim is one go-getter, never stopping for a minute, always on top of everything and doesn't know the meaning of the word 'relax'. And she simply can't stop working. I told her if I even see her lift a bowl or platter she's in for one serious ass whoopin' from her 3 older sisters! We want this to be her day too, with no worries about one single thing except seeing her first born being married and enjoying the experiences of the day. And by us catering the event, we're helping her and Ivory and Randy save thousands of dollars too! Both Deb and I have been in the restaurant business forever and can literally cook for 200 in 1 day so we can pound this out in no time. And I'm pretty much fearless until I get in a kitchen with Deb. We're both half French_Canadian and we can't talk without using our hands and she can wield a knife like a samurai so I'll have to make sure I don't piss her off...lol

Well, in the time it took me to post all this bla, bla, bla, I could have baked the Grooms Cake and I'm sure you're all bored to tears by now. I'm just so excited about this wedding I can't hardly wait to leave.
Bye for now and I'll chat with you again next week:) Big hugs to all!

12x12 comin' at ya'!

WooooHoooo! An entire kit designed just like the big girls do...rofl. But we'll get to that in a minute.

First, I want to say a belated "Happy Canada Day" to all my Canadian friends and hope you had lots of festivities and good food and drink! From what little I've heard around the net, you folks can really throw a party:) Wish I could have been there.

I'm so excited about my new freebie being 12x12 and all and I hope you all like that size.
It's kind of a mini-kit...for me at least...and it's all in 1 zip file! Ain't ya' just loving that...rofl
It's called "I Got The Blues". How's that for a clue...lol. I'm gonna' try to make a QP from it...yeah, I know, you've heard that before...but I finally have some extra time and really need to learn how to do that!
The kit has 3 papers, 1 torn/folded border paper, a bunch of ribbons and bows, several frames and a flower that's so luscious I could eat it:)
So you can get it here and hope you have fun with it. Special THANKS goes out to Atomic Cupcake for her actions and Monica Larsen for her bows and ribbons actions. Their info is in the TOU, which I'm sure you all read like you're supposed to...lol!
Can someone let me know how the proportions of the elements are please? All the ribbons are 12 inches long but I'm not too sure about the 4 frames...if you think they're big enough or just too small. I would appreciate that input from someone who is used to scrapping at this size.
Sending big hugs to all....Mollie

Fun Flowers Elements

First I want to say thanks for all the wonderful comments about this kit...I was so touched by your kindnesses! Aren't scrappers just the best sort of people:)

Now here's the link for the elements. And the alpha is simply A to Z but wait til you start colorizing it...wowza! I think you'll have a blast!

Now I forgot something vital yesterday and have been kicking myself all over the place for the omission. I forgot to credit Terry Maruca's Photoshop Photo Corner Actions @ SBB for the 2 curled papers but it is included in the TOU with the papers. And with the elements for today I must acknowledge Atomic Cupcake for the use of her actions for the alpha and embroidered flowers. There...I think I did that right:)
I've never used someone else's stuff to create with before but if you read the TOU included with the papers, you'll see I've credited both of them and provided links.

Have fun with the elements and I may be back with a QP if I can fit in the time. Oh...and all my stuff from now on will be for 12x12 scrapping. I've found that since my reformat I can actually create a paper in that size so I'm jazzed about that.

Have a fantastic day everyone...I really love you guys:)
