Hola! It's boring ol me with a QP again! Yay! :p Don't you just love the fact that I never type anything interesting and just give you free quick pages? Hehehe. What can I say ... I like quickies. In, out, done. Giggle snort. :p

This QP was created by me from the stunning kit "Just for Fun" by Melissa from MCA Designs. And what fun it was indeed. I originally did one QP, then after talking to Melissa and revisiting the kit I had to do another one! I LOVE the kits that just get your creative juices (or inspiration) flowing! The first QP is here for download, and for the 2nd click the link to be taken to Mel's site to download! She's a great designer and has a fabulous new store! Be sure to check it out!

And just for the record, this is a mining truck in Sparwood BC. We camp there every year. It has the largest truck in the world (umm that's not why we camp there though LOL). The tires don't even compare to the overall size of the thing. I can't even climb up to the drivers seat (a loooong ladder) it's too high and scary!

QP's are 8.5 x 11, 300 DPI. As usual click the image to download. ENJOY!

HOLLA! Did ya miss me?? LOL.

Well I had a bunch typed out and then I bloody well erased it by accident. MUWAHAHA ... OMG isn't that just the WORST! Damnit!! Oh well ... the jist is this, it's been awhile because I just haven't been scrapping much and I what I have been I've been using a few kits that I can't make into QP's. But here is one from Jen, http://scrapkittydesign.com/blog/2008/06/16/somethings-fishy-around-here/. The kit is basically an aquarium and is pretty awesome! I did an LO of West Edmonton mall (my current theme wink wink) for my LO and the QP looks like a fish tank LOL. It's pretty cool. Here is the LO and the QP (same difference LOL) and CLICK ON THE LINK ABOVE to go to the DL from Jen! Thanks and peace out y'all!! :D :D :D

It's a Pirates life for me!! (haha no it's not what you think)

No, not piracy, per say ;) but pirate LO's! Here are a bunch of QP's I made, courtesy of Kyra's kits, All Sails Set & Gimme the Booty. http://smiekeltjewordpresscom.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/another-messy-day/. Thanks to Kyra for allowing me to give you these QP's! Really a fabulous kit I used to make them!

We went to West Edmonton Mall and onto 'Columbus's ship'. I had no idea how on earth I was going to scrapbook the photo's until I came across Kyra's awesome kits! Oh my goodness ... talk about perfect!! Ahoy mate! My fav is the wood backgrounds, too cool, I could have just kept using those over and over! Anyways , here's the goods. Aye. I hope you can get some use out of these! You never know when you might step foot on a pirate ship! Hehehe.

OH HAPPY MOMMY'S DAY!!! This one's for the boys

2008-05-11T10:05:00.000-07:00

Every mother out there (well most ;) ) deserve a huge hug and pat on the back today. It is NOT easy being a Mom! God damn it's the hardest thing I've ever done in my lifetime. Oh man. But just when I think I can't take anymore my son flashes me a smile and gives me a kiss and hug and I'm beseeched all over again. :) God bless all our Mom's for putting up with us! But as Lincoln put it best, "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my Mother".

Now I'm sorry , no Mother's Day QP's here. I just don't do LO's of myself LOL. I feel a bit strange doing LO's about me, KWIM? But here is a boy QP from Laurali. :) I haven't yet had a chance to use the whole kit but here's a QP I did with it a while ago! Uber cute, thanks to Laurali, http://lauralisscrapworld.blogspot.com/, for allowing me to post this! She requests that this be only for personal use! Comprende?!?! ;) :)

Well ... still learning!

Ok ... so I never though to do zip files with the original designers TOU! Like D'uh! See ... still learning! But I'm innocent I swear! :p

Today I have some QP's from the kit Bargara, from Erika Langham, http://curlywirlytwirlygirlies.blogspot.com/ Thanks so much to her for allowing me to post these. What a fabulous kit! I was so happy that the sun FINALLY showed it's brilliant head so we went to the beach and then i got to use this kit! Woohoo!! Isn't it neat?!

One of the QP's has Debbie Beckmoore's frames. Oh I love frames like these! You know I'm just not that creative to create these on my own so it is just so awesome that designers like Debbie makes these for us! http://beckmoorescrapalittle.blogspot.com/. Thank you to her for allowing me to post the QP with those.

Well I'm back ... hesitantly. I did a QP and gave it to a designer who mentioned that I can put it up on my blog. So it was pretty tempting! And now here I am.

Anyways ... I'm hoping we can all let bygones be bygones. I may have said some things I shouldn't have, who knows, I don't dwell on the past. I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal. If I'm angry I'll show it. And, consequently, I may not be very well liked right now, and I understand that. But the past is the past. I know one thing that I didn't understand at the time and one reason i was so frustrated was all these scrapbookers attacking me. Yet I wasn't hearing from any designers. Now though I understand, even though I would prefer to hear from designers themselves, that the scrapbooking community needs such reinforcement, that is how pirates are caught. It's really the only way for designers to make sure their stuff isn't pirated. Iget that now. Although the DESIGNERS I talked to during all of this were actually very kind ladies! Really sweet kind hearted women, as far as I know anyways. So maybe their fans have to be harsh to make up for it. LOL!

I don't know how much i'll post, but fear not I will only post QP's that I have only email confirmation of permission! Makes sense. Guess I should have done that before. I'm new to digital scrapbooking and wasn't exactly 'up' on all the do's and don'ts. I wasn't trying to be a pirate by any means. I thought I was following the TOU. Which I was, they just weren't thorough enough on the issue. But alas, lesson learned. Not just for me but for designers too. Who knew I'd throw such a wrench into the world of TOU's? So all in all we all learned from it! And now no one will make the same mistake I did! Irregardless of the thoroughness though I'm not trying to go against the grain! I would much rather abide by the designer's preferences. Although who knows, maybe I'm already labelled as a pirate. Well ... that's that then. I love the work that designer's do, it's really beyond me how talented they are! Incredible. I'm not going to abuse that. :)

Now I'm NOT going to express that I have permission on every bloody post though. Umm ... no. Geez while I'm at it why don't I just copy the whole damn email. LOL. Yeah, not. If someone is concerned they can ask (nicely and not ACCUSINGLY) me or the designer themselves. Irregardless, I don't care about what anyone thinks about me now. My *QP's are for people who will get some use out of them, nice folk who just want to scrapbook! Not for those who have a fight to pick with me. I hope though that no one is looking to get at me anymore! I do the *QP's from the kindness of my heart, just for the hell of it. I give them to the designer or I offer them up here. It's nice to have a quick page and not have to put it together sometimes! (*WITH DESIGNER PERMISSION OF COURSE!).

Ok did anyone read that? Nope?? Haha that's ok, cuz here's your QP! JPT BTS, from Nikki, http://justpassinthru.wordpress.com/. The elements are so cute! She's also got another gorgeous kit up, called Faded Elegance. Check that out! This is nothing special (the QP I mean) but here it is anyways! Click the image to download. :D Enjoy!! And PEACE OUT!! God bless.
