I'm back!

My computer is all better again so I am back! I have a couple of layouts to share that I have done in the last month or so. I'll start off with the one I promised weeks ago when I was having all of the computer problems.

Then one with an old picture of me. Most of the time I can still be found with a book in hand, although I am not quite as flexible as I once was.

ScrapMatters DSD Blog Train

Welcome to my stop on the ScrapMatters DSD Blog Train! You should be arriving here from Tanya's blog. This is a very big train, so in case one of the "cars" takes off a little late and you get lost all you have to do is refer back to the SM Blog for the master list.

In going with the theme of the blog train, and the wonderful new Many Thanks collaboration kir from the wonderful SM design team I want to share what I am most thankful for on this particular week. The last couple weeks have been very tense in my house as we were quite worried about me. Two weeks ago today I found a lump in my breast. Fortunately I was able to get in to the Doctor's relatively fast, as well as get an ultrasound done of the lump rather quickly. I am very glad to be able to announce that the lump is not cancerous. I am so very grateful for that as well as all of the new technology that is available now to make it relatively fast and painless to diagnose. (If you are interested you may watch for a layout or two about this next week)


Now, on to the freebie. Today I have made a quick and easy Thank You card for you. All you have to do is print and fold and you are done. You may also easily fit 2 onto a single sheet of paper to print off a spare to have on hand!

And you may get your freebie (sorry, link has been disabled)! Don't forget that all of these will only be available for one week! Now I hope you are ready to climb back aboard and hit Kim's blog. And don't forget to check back at the SM Blog should you get derailed!

DSD weekend is here!

And there are tons of goodies to be had and activities going on over at ScrapMatters this weekend! The designers have gone all out and have some gorgeous new releases and grab bags in the store this week. This is in addition to all the normal goodies. And here is the Master Schedule for the DSD activities at SM this weekend!

I will share just a few of the cards that I have made this week with the new releases. All 4 of these cards use parts from Krisi's 2010 DSD Hybrid grab bag. The first two also use Amber's (Stolen Moments) DSD Grab bag.

This lovely card was made with Jennifer Labre's gorgeous new kit With You, as well as a part of Krisi's grab bag mentioned above.

And this final card is made with Rachaels (not new) kit Ouchies, along with 2 of the items in Krisi's previously mentioned grab bag.

Well, I think that is all for today but be sure to check back in tomorrow for the blog train. There are tons of gorgeous goodies on it that you won't want to miss. And it will only be available for 1 week!
