Freebie: Happy iDSD!

So last night we ran some errands and then I sat down to catch up on all that had happened in my computer while I was working. I knew the excitement was building towards November 7 -- International Digi-Scrapping Day. [It's also my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!]

I felt a little ashamed that I had no freebie planned for this celebration of all things digital and memory keeping. About that time, Dan started CSI on the DVR, and it happened....

I put together this little mini-kit, totally inspired by the color scheme on my "10 Things" list Friday. It's also the colors I'm planning to use this Christmas, so I included a few Christmas bits.

| November freebie: Gobble and Wobble

*sigh*

This whole freebie thing is harder than you think. A while back, I had to make a decision on how to finish out this year of freebies. I had 10 kits inspired by Disney, and had started work on kits for next year's theme.

Do I go ahead and start the new theme in November, or do I wait and reveal what I think is one of my best kits ever on 1-1-10? (And really, that's saying a lot, because I never think I'm the best designer out there. Just one who has fun with it.)

Yeah, I'm waiting.

In the meantime, I decided to just share with you some of my favorite things to create. For November, I put together a pack of felt embellishments and some kraft patterned paper. Most of my kits have some form of kraft paper in them. This is kraft on kraft, and I really love it. In addition, adorable felt pieces. All in a Thanksgiving theme, because that's what November is to me.... fall and family.

You can download this collection here.

P.S. Several have commented that they are having problems unzipping. When I try to use Vista to unzip, I have error messages as well, but when I use an unzipping utility like UnZipThemAll, I have no problem. I've rezipped and uploaded twice now and don't know what else to recommend. Sorry for the problems!

Freebie: Damsel in Distress

I'm not even going to pretend that this is my favorite kit I've ever created. It's not. I don't do girly well. Or maybe I just don't like pastels enough to make myself do them well. The fact is that I'm far more excited about what I have to give you next year (as in 2010) than I am about the remaining kit and odds and ends I have for 2009. There's a new "theme" for next year, and I'm using bright, happy colors that inspire me. It's been very fun working -- slowly -- on these kits for 2010. I hope you'll enjoy them.

Until then, back when I did the Hercules kit (which was long months ago) I also did a companion Megara kit. Meg is one of my favorite Disney heroines, simply because she's not a princess and she has a bit of attitude. She's not afraid to tell Herc to stuff it.

So here's Meg's kit. I hope those of you with little "not-so-quiet" princesses like it!

Freebie: WonderBoy

I have several favorite Disney movies.

Peter Pan is my favorite classic Disney movie.

Monsters, Inc. is my favorite Pixar movie.

Hercules is my favorite modern Disney movie.

I remember when Hercules was in theaters. Dan took Brady to see it.... Mykiah must have still been too young to go to the theater. He came home and told me how much he enjoyed it.

I finally saw it on video, and fell in love. Mostly I love the music. The story is good, too, but oh, the music.

I had to create a kit based on Herc, and I was in the mood for a very "boy" kit. Every once in awhile at work, we'll get a boy in class, and I'll just think, "he's such a boy." I don't even know how to explain that, but it's there.

So this kit is for all the boys out there who like to make noise, and get dirty and give me gray hair. I did this color scheme myself, based on the Hercules cover art.

August Freebie for you!

[Note: I originally created this kit to be shared on August 1. However, due to my overwhelming need to a) talk about myself and b) put some space between freebie giveaways, it's going up today. Hope you enjoy it!]

When I started thinking about a kit for August, I also started thinking about what August means to me. August is back to school for most of my family... I go back to teaching, the kids go back to school. This year, I'll have a sophomore, an 8th grader, and a 4th grader. How in the world did they get so old? Seems like just yesterday, I had two in diapers.

Not really. The summers keep getting longer as my kids learn to drive, spend more time with their friends, and in general, no longer need me to entertain them.

So my inspiration for this kit was back to school/fall themed, and the colors were inspired by Adventureland at Disneyland. Here's a preview:

That completes the Continue to Grow kit. For those who would like a full kit preview for organizational purposes, here's what the whole thing looks like:

I do have my traditional first of the month kit ready to go, but I think I'll wait to post it until I come back from my blog-cation on Monday. So check back on Monday to see what the new full kit is!
