Happy Holidays!
We finally got the kids pictures with Santa yesterday. Success! They didn't cry! We didn't get a smile out of either of them, but Santa took a 2 hour lunch while we were waiting in line so the kids were beyond tired.
We are leaving in a couple days to visit family in California for the holidays and I'll be back on January 4th to start designing new freebies for your downloading pleasure. :)
Happy holidays! See you next year!!!

Here is my part. I included one blank recipe card and one with my favorite recipe! Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I make "Pumpkin Rolls" for my family. They are delicious and I always have requests for them. Trust me, this is one you have to try! Here's a tip... when you take it out of the oven, make sure to spread the mixture and roll it up quickly before it cools or else it can crack. Use lots of powdered sugar to keep it from sticking and ensure it unrolls without getting stuck to the wax paper. This recipe yields 16 servings (although it's really 8 if you serve larger slices) Here is a picture of the finished product. Yummy-licious!

Live: ABC Bragbook "J"
Here is the next installment of the Live, Laugh & Love ABC brag books.
Friday, November 21, 2008
Love: ABC Bragbook "I"
I was inspired to create these huge megakits after following Digitreats' ABC kits and thought it would be a great idea to have huge mega-kits in coordinating colors for my girls and also a boys theme for those that have boys.
"Love" is a pretty pallet of pink, brown and cream and the colors were inspired by my 2 year old Chloe who is the absolute light of my life. She is such a girly girl and these colors seemed fit for a princess!
"Laugh" is a funky modern color scheme of reds, oranges, and gray. This is such a boys kit and although I do not have any boys I am infatuated with boys colors!
"Live" was inspired by my adorable little Zoe. She is 14 months old and definitely not a girly girl! She is so fun and she breaks the mold when it comes to the definition of "girl." She is so independent despite her young age, LOL This is my favorite color pallet of the three and the teal, lime, brown and cream colors are perfect for both girls and boys alike!
With each blog post I give away a different part of the kits on alternating days. In addition I have been creating 4x6 brag book pages that start with A and will go all the way to Z. By the time we get to Z we will have 3 full 26 page brag books and 3 GINORMOUS mega kits in coordinating colors!
I have an awesome surprise in store for those of you that are looking for holiday gifts and could use some free digital products! Details to come!

Laugh: ABC Bragbook "I"
Love: Patterned Papers Part 3
It's your last chance to pick up my new "All I want for Christmas" kit for $3.00 off, so grab it while you can because it's only 3.99 for today only! Warning, preview overload! lol This kit was so much fun to design and I am a glitter freak so this kit is absolutely glitter-fab!
Here is a quick layout I did for my little girl's 1st birthday...
So here is part 3 of the "Love" plaid papers. I have to thank Megadoodle Inspired again for these awesome patterns I used to make this set. I could probably make 50 more papers with all the combinations and possibilities of her mega-patterns. Click here to take a look at her sets. I will be doing a brag book page for "Live" collection tomorrow for those of you that have been waiting for the ABC brag books to come back :)
