Sunny Daffodils On Sunny Days

Well, we just had our first truly sunny day in a while and we spent it playing at the park. That means I'm totally exhausted and this is going to be short, LOL! Daffodils have been blooming all over our neighborhood, so I was super-excited about this month's blog train even though I knew my time to participate was going to be seriously limited. :-P Here's what I did manage to get finished. There are two links (4shared since the direct download gets so bogged down with blog train days), one for the worn papers and one for the rest of it, so be sure you get both! Have fun collecting all the parts:

April Blog Train Info

Did you like last month's blog train? I know I love both participating in them and hopping around and collecting all the goodies people make.

The blog train for April at STS is going to be absolutely gorgeous! I know this because even though it's only the 3rd of February, there are already some super-cute previews over in the forum! In fact, I'm getting inspired and am going to start working on mine soon too!

Are you interested in designing or don't know where to start, but would like to participate anyway???

Well, guess what? You don't have to do a mini! You don't even have to design! You can create an alpha OR many of the designers (including me) will give you their kits early and let you make a QP just so you have the chance to play along!

Come join us for our April blog train, Spring Picnic. You can see the wonderful palette below. Click HERE to go to our forum for more information about our Blog Train. We'd love to have you participate with us! See you there!

Afternoon Delight Blog Train

The STS blog train this month is GORGEOUS! I decided to do just a small portion because the train is also getting HUGE. :) I always love seeing all the kit previews come up and the different ideas people have for what to put in their kits and this month was no exception. There are so many fun parts that I cannot wait to go and download and I'm sure you're feeling the same, so without further delay, here's my portion. Just click on the preview to download!
And here are all the rest of your stops. Don't forget to leave love when you download; I don't know of any of us who do not appreciate it immensely! :)

Can you believe it's blog train time again? Where did August go??? Well, fortunately September is upon us because this blog train has some amazing kits in it and I cannot wait to download them!

Enjoy these and your journey to gather the rest of the kits! If you like it, please leave a comment ~ I live off them! :)

Blog Train Time!

Can you believe it's already time for another blog train over at STS? Yep, the August train is leaving the station. This month's kit is called "Summer Camp" and 'my' very own designer The Scrappy Kat came up with the most awesome color palate for it. These colors just make ya happy, don't you think? Well, they were at least making me smile the whole time I was working on this kit to share with you. Here's a preview of it. There are lots of striped papers (for some reason it just seemed summer-campy to me) as well as some cardstock and lots of fun elements (not all of which are on the preview).

So download this, leave some love, and head off to snag the rest of this awesome blog train ~ it's HUGE this month. But don't forget to come back next week because Kat and I have teamed up to bring you something very special...

Those Summer Nights Blog Train!

It's blog train time again at STS! This month we had such a fun color palate to work with that's perfect for summer! This is my second time participating and I had so much fun that I've decided to work on a couple kits of my own, so keep your eyes peeled for those in the coming weeks! Here's the preview for my section of the kit! As always, I really appreciate any comments and constructive criticism since I'm still pretty new at this whole thing! Just click on the preview to download!
While I was at it, I decided to go ahead and make a quick page for you too, so click on the preview to download that as well!And now that you've done that, you're off to your next blog train stop! Here's the list:

Daddy and Me Blog Train

Okay, I am so excited about this, you guys! This is my first attempt at designing. I had so much fun working with these colors and theme and I have (what I think is) a neat kit to share with you! I'm posting the preview of the kit and also previews of the two wordarts because they're hard to see on the kit preview. :)

Please, please leave me comments if you like it and also comments about what you think I could improve on. I'd love to work on more kits in the future and using fewer CU items, but really need some feedback first!

So, without further ado, click on the preview link to head over to 4shared to download and leave some love, then continue on your merry way down the blog train. I've listed all the stops for you below!
Also, here are a couple layouts I did. The first with my kit and the second with the kit from Jenasis Design. I turned that one into a QP for you too, which you can download here!
