New PTU kit ~ Kitty Kat Khristmas

After having a few brain farts LOL, i finally got this kit done. And this time it turned out much how i wanted, or maybe even better than i wanted.
I think its cute and i especially love the frame shaped like a cat's head :)
I have made this in full size as well as tagger. I think i might scrap some pics of my cat with it lol.
It ended up being way bigger than i intended, with 12 papers and 112 elements! So there is no end to what you can do with it!
The full size kit is $5 and the tagger size is $3.50
You can find it in any of the stores i sell at, blinkies on the right

Tag Template #6

Ok i made this template while i made this tag for it, so i thought i would share in case someone would like it. Seems like a waste to spend my time making it just for one use lol. So hopefully someone else will find a use for it too.

Click on the thumbnail to see the full size tag i made with it as well

Helping Mr Elric



This kit here in the slideshow is for sale to help a courageous 7 year old boy, who has brain cancer and his family

It is so much better explained on the website devoted to helping raise money for him
His parents had to fly out to be with him to get special cancer treatment, so neither are working now and we all know nothing is free
So if you want to help, check out the website
www.helpingmrelric.com
And you can purchase the collab kit, which i have donated to as well, for only $4!!
All proceeds go straight to the family to help pay his medical bills
You can find it at Baby V Dezign shop

Freebie Remembrance Day kit ~ We Remember

Well i have been planning this for awhile now, but I only finished this kit today, *whew*
I have been trying to work on this for a few weeks but the past 2 especially
I would open up PSP and Photoshop and nothing would come
Then today it just kind of flew out there lol
I know many younger people these days don't have any idea what sacrifices were made during WWI and WWII, i know i don't, I was born in 1974. But I guess the school's I attended seemed to reach me.
I remember every year we would read the Flanders Fields poem over and over. And in the older grades we would have to memorize it and recite it. I never did memorize it though, like I said i have a terrible memory, while worse as I get older it wasnt much better when I was young lol.
I have started to notice not as many people wear poppies anymore. I know I lost mine, which I hate doing. I usually buy a few of them throughout the couple of weeks they are on sale.
While my own grandfather was kicked out of the army because he had flat feet, my husband's grandfather did serve, he was in the Navy. I couldnt even imagine what he went thru. He saw death, more of it than anyone should ever have to see. He was on the ships that would have to retrieve the dead bodies from the water after a battle. Im sure you dont want to know about it or even think about it, I know i dont. But its important to remember what these brave men and women faced, all for our freedom. My husband's grandfather survived the war, but it left terrible scars. He rarely ever spoke about what he did during those years. Until his death a few years ago, my husband had no idea what his grandfather had actually done during the war because he wouldnt talk about it. I wish for a time when we wont have to fight each other. But whether that ever happens or not, we can NEVER FORGET! Or their lives will have been sacrificed for nothing.
Before I get to the kit, I managed to create a layout with a picture of my husband's grandfather. Oh and i also made a quickpage to share with you all. And please dont forget, I began as a tagger and still am, so I am new to layouts and quickpages and things. This is all new to me, so please be gentle. I am going to have to post them as thumbnails because they are a tad too large for my blog.

This is the layout I created



If you want to see it full size, cause its distorted, then click the thumbnail below



And this is a sample of the Quickpage
The actual QP is 800 X 800, so this one has been resized to fit my blog and looks way better at full size



You can download the quickpage HERE

Oh and did I mention this is a full size kit??
All papers are 12 X 12 and at 300 DPI, so it can be printed.
Well here is the preview



You can download the kit HERE

And while sometimes I get discouraged when no thank you is left, if you arent going to thank me for this kit, at least say a prayer or have a moment of silence for those who sacrificed their lives so we could have the freedoms that we have.
