Cupcakes &...Bikers?

It's week 5 of the digi freebie search with the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff DT! Here is a card that I created using Lindsay's fabulous cupcake tree stamp that can be found for only $1.00 here. The frame that I put on the front of the card was a freebie from somewhere (I'm so sorry I don't remember where). Don't forget Lindsay is having a fabulous July Special: get a free stamp for every $5 you spend!
Once again, Lindsay has designed a special stamp for one of us on the design team. On Thursdays, one lucky DT member will have her special stamp available to download free for a whole week. Click on the links below to check out the cool Design Team Blogs and see who has the free stamp this week!

Now for your Thursday freebie! I created this Harley Mama premade scrapbook page to sell on ebay. (Or I may keep it for myself, if I ever learn to ride, LOL). I found these awesome HD stickers and embellies at Big Lots on clearance and had to use them. Then I was totally inspired by this flames freebie!

I created a "Biker Babe" title to go along with the page. So it is your freebie!

After I posted this, I had a friend mention that she wished she could use it for a boy, so I created this one to go along with it! Biker Dude SVG

Fireworks Mama!


Well my son absolutely adored the fireworks the other night. I think this is the fastest I have ever gotten a LO together after taking the photos. I took them Sunday night and had this layout done by the following Monday evening. The title is a freebie from Denise. The border along the bottom was a freebie from the Craft Edge Forum found here. THe fireworks placed randomly about the page are found here.

Swing for the Sky!

Here is yet another scrapbook page that I did! I am finally getting caught up on all of the pics I've had laying around for quite some time. These however, are pretty recent. I took them a couple of weeks ago when Travis got a new swing set! I used Lora's swing set freebie!

You know what is funny though? I have found myself taking pictures to go with my svg files instead of making svg files to go with my pictures! LOL. I see a file and I think oooh! I need to make some pictures of travis doing this or that so that I can make a page with that file! haha. So here you have it. I wanted something fun for the background, so I used a shape that I got from Paulo called Interlace Circles. I just blew it up to a 12x12 size and used it as a mesh!


Summer Time in the Kiddie Pool

Here is a LO I did of my son in his kiddie pool. He is wearing clothes in a few of the pics b/c I caught him getting in it without asking and he was fully dressed. LOL I guess he got hot. The title Summer Time was another freebie created by Mary at SVGCuts.
The kiddie pool shown here was a freebie from Lora at The Scrapbook Lady. I thought it was just perfect for this layout. I had a pic of Travis sitting on the edge of the pool just like this so I cut him out and pasted him onto the pool that I cut out! Another thank you to Lora for ispiring me to do some more scrapping. Like she said, many of us collect all these files and never really use them. So she is challenging us to create one layout a day for the month of July. Well I doubt I do that many. I don't have that many pics to scrap at the moment, but I'm going to do as many was I can.

Got Dirt? --Boy's LO made with ScutFiles Freebie

Hey there! I am so excited! I finally scrapped these pictures that I've had for a year now! It is hard to believe that my son was only 18 months old in these pics! He'll be 3 in October. Every time I get in the scrapping mood, I pull out these pictures, but always wind up putting them back because I have a hard time thinking of how I want them done. Then inspiration hit the other day when I found that ScutFiles.com had posted this truck as their freebie! It was PERFECT! I had to cut it out!

So after I did, I decided it needed some dirt. The truck was just too clean. So I used some special scissors to cut out the jagged dirt. Then I used some distressing ink (my fav new toy) and some chalks to dirty it up. I used some pop dots and there you have it a hill for my truck to climb on.

You should have seen my son playing w/his trucks behind me while I made the LO. He kept getting up to "check out" the truck as he was playing. He thought it was so cool. I couldn't keep his hands out of the glue.

San Fran Baby!

Wow I've never put this many pics in a post before! Here is the scrapbook that I created for my MIL's trip to San Fran! I apologize that a couple of the pics are blurry, but I had already given her the scrapbook before uploaded the pics. Look out tomorrow for some freebie SVG files that I made for the scrapbook!
