Oldies but Goodies

Hey scrappers! I thought I would post some of my fave personal LOs of this year past. It's been awhile since I've been able to do a layout and boy do I miss creating them! I have lots of calendars to create for Christmas presents this year and I will be importing my LOs into Shutterfly to create a personalized look :)

Check these out. Credits follow (with links to kits if available) underneath each LO

"Off Topic" Sunday!

Monica here for the first installment of "Off Topic" Sunday. First, I have to remind everyone about the sale at Stuff to Scrap for 30% off of 5 O'Clock Somewhere! This is a really fun kit with great colors. Here's a preview.

A few weeks ago, a blog that I follow started to show some awesome Etsy crafts. I love looking at what she finds and thought it would be fun here too. For those who are not familiar, Etsy is a site for people who make handmade items to sell those items. There's things from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. There are tons of gorgeous items available.

Our first fabulous Etsy find is from Anne More Jewelry.

This beautiful bracelet is only $23 dollars. It's sterling silver with two small garnets.

Next up is this $22 adorable reversible bib. I love those cute owls! You can get this from hizandherz!

And last for today is an amazing watercolor by bigapple60.

I hope you enjoyed our first edition of Etsy finds. Please leave comments if you enjoyed this!

Apologies! Friday Freebie updated!

So sorry for the preview yesterday! You might have noticed that the alpha that was advertised yesterday was NOT what you received when you downloaded. I'm so sorry to say that I uploaded the wrong preview to the blog yesterday!! Here is the correct preview for you to see what you're receiving for this week's Friday Freebie! Its a gorgeous word art freebie also created by the wonderful Adrianna!!

Sorry again for the confusion yesterday!!!

Friday Freebie!!

Its that time again! Misty's CT member Adriana has made this beautiful Alpha to match the In The Emerald Spotlight kit! You can pick up the coordinating kit at Gingerscaps and Stuff to Scrap right now for only $3!

Ok this week I am going to make it a little harder, lol I want you to tell me the name of this song that has theses lyrics in it by Craig Morgan.

"We sat there five years ago
The doctors let us know, the test showed
She’d have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
She held me and said it’s gonna be alright
She wore that wig to church
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear, full of faith
Hands held high singing Amazing Grace
Never once complained, refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough"

Okay…now here’s what you gotta do!! Please email your guesses to scrappyliciousdesigns@gmail.com (please put Tuesday Trivia as the email subject). You have until Midnight CDT tonight to get your answers to me (10 pm PDT, 11 pm MDT, 12 am CDT, 1 am EDT) …and then I will choose a random winner from all the correct lists to win the add on kit! So get to guessing!
