My Very First Freebie ... It's an Alpha Kit!

Good Morning ...

So I've got some news for everyone!!!! I'm really EXCITED!!!  I've been working on making my own digital designs, so I'm fairly new at it, but I've been told my designs are really good, so I've decided to make my own kits and sell them at a really good price, plus I LOVE freebies and I know you all do to, so my freebies are not just one thing, they will be a set like this Alpha Kit, Sunny Days!
I use Media Fire for now, I'm currently working on my new Sharing System from Amazon S3 Glacier. It's a new program for me and I am still trying to figure the thing out, so I've got my husband working on it, since he's a technical genius! (it's what he did in the Army) So I decided to put him to work LOL ..

I'm currently working on my digital store, so for now I'll be posting made kits and the freebies here ... I'm hoping to have my new store: Angela's Digital Designs, up and running here really really soon!

Please let me know what you think of my work, pro's and con's, what you like, what you don't, etc!

Freebie Time:  Sunny Day's Alpha Kit

The Yellow Bevel is only the Alpha (Upper Case) and Numbers. Sunny Days Alpha's are a part of an upcoming KIT ... Sunny Days ... I should be opening my store here in the next month or shorter, so please keep an eye out!

Some Lo's .. I've been working on Digitals!

Hello followers! 

I have quite a few Digital Layouts to share with yall and I have some exciting news!!

First of all ... News first and then show and tell ... I've been learning to make my own Digital kits.

I've been thinking about on how to share them and get my work out there, I know I'll do freebies, but also I'll sell kits at a discount as well ;-)  Just for my followers!! 

But ... I need some help from my fellow followers!! #1 ... what would yall like to see as a kit??  I  need some suggestions as to theme's that might be popular! I know I'm going to do a military kit, holidays.  I know this year is all about BRIGHTS ... Everything is bright!!
So please put your 2 cents in and voice your opinion on what you would like to see in a kit, down to the embelishments! As well I would love to know how they look, work, etc. Critique away please!!!

Now ... on to show and tell ...
All of these LO's are made from kits by Pixel Scrappers, Marisa ... It's an awesome site!!! That's where I've learned how to make my own kits. Surprisingly not many people are doing this.






This one is of my now 5 year old son playing around with my shoes, that would be pair # 3 that he tried on LOL ...
The back ground paper I made myself, torn papers pieces I also made and some of my elements I made, others came from Pixel Scrapper (like the fabric flower, alphas, hearts)




Skater dude ... My 10 year old son, Lane. He loves his skate board and wanted to pose for a pic with it!
Again some of the elements used are from Pixel Scrapper, others are from random sites and my own made ( like the stars and distressing on my background paper)





This one I did yesterday, March 1st was my husband and I's 2nd wedding anniversary!

The stitching, back ground paper, washi tape, hearts, tag, "Love me", fabric flower and buttons are from Pixel Scrapper's Amsterdam Kit. I made my matting paper, frame, torn paper pieces, and glitter splatter.



 Easter Bread ... I love baking ... especially my bread! and Easter time makes the perfect time to shape breads, like this into Easter Bunny's ;-)

This one was made with Pixel Scrappers February Blog Train Kit's that were comprised of different members work. I used elements from all!

The only thing that I made myself for this LO was my black lace border.


Family Love ... My husband, Lane and I, top pic is in Colorado Springs, CO. Bottom pic is a family photo we took for xmas here in Weatherford, TX.

Most of this LO was made from Pixel Scrappers kit's, except for the paper strips, alpha's, journal tag and background green flower.

Boo at the Zoo!
This one is made from Pixel Scrappers Zoo kit! I distressed the original background paper, made my burst, date tag and the splats.

This year we decided to let Lane go to the Ft. Worth Zoo's: Boo at the Zoo! He had a blast and we made his costume this year, he wanted to be a zombie football player, so we went to good will and got a jersey, the helmet and the pants, we got fake blood and I cut the clothing to look like a zombie and then sprayed it with the fake blood to look more real. We then got a mask for the Zoo instead of completely do make up, decided to save that one for Halloween Night!


HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY ....

My boys are always happy and they don't hide it either! This is just an LO of them smiling and having fun!

Again Pixel Scrapper for most of my LO elements. But I did add a few of my own of course! The glitter splatter, the rings, glitter strips, glitter stars and the bling are all my own made!

 Hog Tied .... Now this one is funny! We were out camping with family in  2011 ... we were talking about hunting and stuff and my brother was practicing hog tieing, well Lane piped up and said he wanted Uncle Phil to hog tie him, that he wanted to know what it was like, so ... of course my brother abliged his request .... oh my it was sooo funny, he wouldn't hold still for anything! So about 30 mins later ... tadah he was hog tied! then tried to walk and fell!

All are made with Pixel Scrapper's kits! except for the white burst in the lower right hand corner and the glitter explosion about the 2nd photo.

John and Pappo!

My stepdad loves his grand kids and his grand kids absolutely love him! and this pic is here to prove it!

Elements and papers are from Pixel Scrapper except for my flourish's and Alpha's and circle cut outs.


Hello Cali! ... We had so much fun there while my car was broke down and in the shop!
We got stuck near San Diego, Cali in a little town.  We were right  on the beach so that was a plus! and got some awesome pics and a tan!
LOL ...

Again most elements and papers came from Pixel Scrapper, except for the writing paper and strips and the green glitter splat.

Happy 1st Birthday ...

John's first Birthday (2009) we were living in Japan on Camp Zama. He was so afraid to touch his cake, he thought he would get into trouble, so I helped him out a little! he started to have fun after I showed him it was ok!  He loved it!!

All elements are from Pixel Scrapper. except for my ribbon piece at the top left corner and the alphas.



Play ... Another Play LO! 2009 ... John always found something to play with! Quite an imagination he has!  He was flipping on the floor, doing roll overs and making himself dizzy! all while laughing of course!

All elements and papers are from Pixel Scrapper on this one!


Love You!

This one I absolutely love! There is a huge contrast between happy and grumpy going on here ... I had fun with this one!

I made my own tags, doily, ribbons and bling. the rest came from Pixel Scrappers Love Me Kit.


Joy! ... I decided to do a film strip to show case the photo's in this one for a wintery festive LO.

My boys love Christmas, but especially the part where they get to open up presents ( what kid doesn't LOVE that part?)

Pixel Scrapper's Kit: Balkans was used. I cut out the circles. I used Balkans papers to cut them out and her glitter pattern.





I hope you liked these. and please don't forget to comment and let me know what YOU would like to see in a kit! I'll be taking all suggestions and coming up with my first ever kit with freebies to!! And in advance ... Thank you all for your feedback.

I'm Back ... And I apologize!!!!

Good Morning ALL!

Sorry I've been gone for so long!!! I didn't forget about the 75 Followers giveaway!!  That post will be following this one ... I like to keep them seperate so there is no confusion!!

Got a new computer after the last one got fried in a freak lighting storm in Colorado (remember that post???) That was tricky ... trying to do my blog posts off of our PS3 .. now that was difficult!!!

Since then, I am trying to catch up on my Layouts and Card designs!

I have come to a slowing affect though ... after moving to Texas, I've had to get a job ... whew ... now that wasn't the hard part! It was the hours that just about killed me! I have since then quit that one and got one at Target Corp here in Weatherford, TX. ... and I've gotta say I love it!! I'm on the Soft Lines Team ( Which are amazing gals!) I was just recognized as a TOP PERFORMER for January!!! ( I started working there in December!) I'm now putting in my  application to be Brand Team Member for the Shoes Dept. ... a promotion!! YAY!!!

For the sadder news ... I'm in the middle of trying to get my son back from the state of Arizona ... My ex decided to get him taken away and refused to give CPS any of my info ( Talk about making me mad) So it took them almost 6 months to find me ... The back story:  My Ex took my son from me without me knowing in COlorado Springs ... Took him to Louisiana ... got CPS called on him there then took off after getting out of the army ... I had been looking for my son ever since! The cops wouldn't do anything since it was a joined custody ... Talk about making me mad!!!  Now the courts in AZ are making go through all this testing stuff .. I've already had a home visit (Got exellent remarks!) Doing drug screening ... passing them all ... Psycho test is coming up on the 29th to make sure I'm stable .. I think after everything i've been through .. I'm pretty sure I'm stable!
I just miss the heck out of my son! Every time I think about it, him or the situation I start balling!! I have his room all made up! CPS won't even let me talk to him, but in the court notes for Feb's hearing they are docking me for not contacting him ... ummm DUH! CPS won't give me any of his contact info! Letters I write have to go to the CPS worker in AZ .. which she claims she has only gotten one! I call BULL ... I have receipts proving I sent more than that ... WAY MORE!  The system for drug screening locked me out so I wasn't able to do all of the test (if i miss one it's counted as a positive test) EVEN THOUGH I COULDN"T HELP IT!!!! I think they are trying to stone wall me just because they don't want to deal with an INTRASTATE deal/transfer because it's going to cost them!!!
I'm sooo upset and I have to have a lawyer in AZ, I can't move up there ... I'll be unstable because I'll have to find a job and an apartment! plus my husband is still connected to the Army as IRR and it takes a ton of paper work to change the locations!

I just don't know what to do??? I'm trying so hard to fight this, work, keep my family here together and not loose my youngest son!  My ex was charged with neglect and abuse, I don't get why they are even thinking of putting my son back with him!!! I don't get it!!!! I'm so confused and my lawyer barely talks to me ... She won't even email me back!! I have proof that he's a pathological lair, vindictive and abusive not to mention an alcoholic ... What doesn't sound right here? I thought CPS is all about the welfare of the child????  

Anyhow .. I'll quit  and move on!

I just wanted everyone to know what was going on and why my posts just all of the sudden quit.  But I'm back now!!!
