Digital Scrapbooking Freebie Props

I have been an awful blogger, today is the day I'm going to change that. I am going to start today by just telling everyone what great artists we have in the scrapbook communities. Most of them offer freebies to get you hooked....and boy, AM I HOOKED! I want to give credit where credit is do, and I want to mention a few of my favorites.

http://www.kevinandamanda.com/ Amanda has mastered the handwritten fonts. Since my handwriting if atrocious, I am able to "borrow" a few of hers, and all it does is make me more proud of my creations.

http://summertimedesigns.blogspot.com/ Summer is Awesome!! I want to be just like her when I grow up...can i still say that? The kits she has put together are some of the prettiest patters and color combinations I have ever seen.

Last night I came across one kit by Kristy. I am just loving the glam rock look of Bitchin' and I can't wait to use these papers. Thanks Kristy!! http://harryandtatesmum.blogspot.com/2009/04/freebie-tagger-size-kit-bitchin-collab.html

Sometimes we just need some help and inspiration, and templates can really help out. Here is one that I really enjoy.

United Way

We have a lot of activities going on at work to raise money for the United Way organization. I just wanted to post a few of the pics from the cake decorating contest. Love yours Shay-Shay!!

Meet the Panthers

Last night was Meet the Panther night. It's a great start to the year getting everyone introduced to the players and exicited about the upcoming year. High school football is like a religion in Texas. From now, through playoffs. our life will be football.

and we're off..

I don't know if everyone is as addicted to the Olympics as we are, but we just can't get enough. I have been neglecting my newly organized scrapbook room just to watch gymnastics, swimming, trampoline, and diving. And lets not forget, rhythmic gymnastics starting tomorrow. I love the fact that these 300 plus people have united us as a country to cheer for them doing something they have focused their entire lives to do. I can't tell you how many times I have teared up being happy for someone that I don't even know, because I realize that all their years of hard work and training are being rewarded time and time again.
