FRIDAY FREEBIE - October 11

Family is very important to me!  I am lucky to have a very close family, as well as close extended families on both my Mom and my Dad's side of the family!  I am also honored to be included in family gatherings of my boyfriend Mike's family as well - we're off to a family birthday celebration this weekend.

In honor of the special place that FAMILY holds in my heart I created a wordart freebie package as my FRIDAY FREEBIE for today!

There are two phrases in the package:

"FAMILY is a gift that lasts forever!" 

and

"It's all about FAMILY"

I created each phrase in two font styles:  one script and one block style!

I even have samples of the wordart in use in my own layout projects.  

Block Style:



This layout features Roseytoes Designs and Mandy King Designs FAMILY RULES available as a bundle from Ginger Scraps 



This layout features Jen C Designs MY STORY MAY available at Gotta Pixel

Script Style: 



This layout featuares elements from PattyB Scraps BOUNTIFUL HARVEST available at Wilma4Ever



This layout features PattyB Scraps STEAMPUNKDAYDREAM available at Wilma4Ever, and a template from Southern Serenity Designs by Amber Morrison PAPARAZZI available at The Digi Chick

I hope you enjoy your wordart FREEBIE!

FRIDAY FREEBIE - October 4

How can it be October already??? Oh, my ... but it is!  I'm loving the "cooler" weather, and I've seen a little foliage color (rare here in Texas!)

Pizazz Pixels has a new kit call

OUT WEST 


Here's how she described it in the store:  
Yee- Haw!  Capture the spirit of the Wild West with this quality checked, western-themed 12 X 12 inch digital scrapbook kit. (With 17 papers and 81 digital scrapbook elements, this kit has plenty of options besides western layouts.)


Why such a big kit?  Because everything is bigger in Texas ya’ll!  (She did that just for me! Of course, I really don't talk like that, ya'll know!)

 You can find OUT WEST at all of Pizazz Pixels stores




Here is the layout that I did using OUT WEST and some of my favorite photos that describe the Texas I know and love:



There are lots of cool elements in her kit, but it didn't have an alpha!  and I had this really cool CU  font that looks like it belongs on a tooled leather belt!  Yee-Haw, so I made two alphas: 
one in HOT PINK denim


and the other in fabulous 
TURQUOISE denim ( my fav!)  


and for today's FRIDAY FREEBIE you get them BOTH in one download!



(Download should start immediately!)

Boo's Crews and treats too!



Did I scare you! Well the leaves are starting to change in different parts of North America, and the air is getting cooler. It's October and Fall is definitely here! In Canada, we will be gathering with family and friends to give our thanks on October 14th Thanksgiving day and before you know it Halloween will be here! True North Scraps has come up with a spooky mega kit to help you get prepared for this fun time called Boo's Crews!



These guys are too cute to scare anybody! Little Boo and his parents are Trick or Treating with an adorable crew of friends. This kit is jammed full of elements and papers, in fact this may be the largest kit yet. You'll find 80 elements including some humorously haunted flowers and tombstones. On top of that, there is a full spooky alpha and 48, yes, 48 papers, including glitters and solid cardstocks! This mega kit is a huge value at $7 but right now you can get this Mega kit for 30% off until Oct 12. Making it a fantastic treat at $4.90. Take a look at everything you get with this spooktacular kit.



Plus it comes with 3 frightfully fun Word Arts. 
Check out what the North Stars created with this kit.




Before we get to our treats let's check out what the designers at Scraps N' Pieces have been busy doing...

October Scraps N' Pieces Store Collab Kit - Every Day Heroes

Grab the kit for just $7.99, the quick pages for $5.99, or go big with the bundle for $10.99.

October CU Grab Bag - Rickety Rack

For those designers that want something unique to add to their stash,, this is a fun pack of ric rac that is a little different from your everyday pieces of straight ric rac. Grab it the first week while it is 35% off.

This month's Bits N Pieces theme is all about photography, scrapbooking, and capturing those precious memories! The warm browns, blacks, and soft light blue is perfect for ANY layout. Check out these amazing pieces the designers have for you.


Remember all pieces are just $1 the first week of the month! After the first week, the designers may combine their products into a full-size kit and all will be at regular price, so don't wait. Also, the first weekly challenge each month is dedicated to the month's Bits N' Pieces products. Use them in a layout, post it and link to gallery, and earn some points. It's a win win!!
