Lets Honor our Grandparents with a Layout of Your Choice!

 

If you want to win a darling mouse pad with your layout of your grandparents, or this cute "open 24 hours"  DigiScrapDepot logo,  then go over to www.digiscrapdepot and upload a layout of your choice, about your grandparents or just a special grandparent,  in honor of Grandparents Day.   Be sure to put it in the Grandparents section so it will go on the front page.  The contest is open thru Sept. 31.  So, get those photos, if you don't have one already, or maybe you want to honor the memory of a loved one that has passed on, either way it is a great way to share a "legacy of love".  So get the photos out and then make a cute layout, and post it on Digi Scrap Depot!  Share your legacy of  love with others!  

Where Has The Time Gone?

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

I can't believe that it has been so long since I posted about this woman.  And what a woman she is.  I put these two together because not only did this woman make garments for others, and sold them to merchants, no less.  She also clothed herself!  But, with strength and dignity.  I am sorry to sound like a broken record, but she made the garments after she had faithfully fulfilled all her other duties as a wife.    Hint, Hint.  So again we see that this woman was organized.  She knew how to set priorities for herself and follow them.  And then, she worked on her other projects.  Oh gosh... I think I just want to quit right here!  Ha Ha.  I am feeling a little convicted as I type.  To be a Godly woman, able to work with other merchants in a Christ like manner.  Integrity comes to mind.  Trustworthy, those merchants would not want to buy from someone who did shabby work.  What kind of work do you do for others?  You know, I have tried to do my best, even though I am giving away my designs, to do them.... as unto the Lord.  To the best of my ability.  Now, I need to let that idea overflow to other areas of my life.  Are there areas of your life that you could work on?  Now the fact that she was clothed with strength and dignity.  She radiated these qualities.  I know some people in my life that just radiate, Christ.  When I  am around them, they want to know what He is doing in my life, they share what He has done in theirs.  It is an overflow of who they are.  They are "covered" with His strength and dignity.  But the best part is the last 8 words of this passage.  You know why?  Because of the fact that she could laugh at the days to come!  Who knows what we are going to face tomorrow?   What kind of testing and trials we may face.  God does.  And this woman had already settled it with Him that no matter what, she was going to be able to face it with joy!  Now that is comforting.  Right ?  So lets settle it right now for us, that no matter what we are facing, or will face that we will do it with joy, being able to laugh at the days to come.  His, Teri 

Who Am I?

This is the second layout using Utski's One Fine Day kit. It can be found at www.myscrapshop.com.  I really wanted to do something different for me and I saw somewhere that a new CT created a layout telling a little more about themselves. I thought that was a great idea so here is my layout I call "Who Am I?" It is my first layout about me and I found that a challenge. Journaling about myself! But I loved the challenge and I loved the colors of this kit! Thanks Utski for such a cute, creative kit. 

Cute as A Bug QP

 

 

This is my first layout for My Scrap Shop as a CT designer.  I loved the colors of this kit.  It is One Fine Day by Utski Scraps and can be found at the store at My Scrap Shop.  Utski was so nice to let me use this layout as a QP for you, my blog friends!  Be sure to check it out.  I love the contrast of the black and white photo with just a hint of color.  Did you notice the precious little bug hidden in the flowers?  Explore with hiding little "goodies" in your layouts to make them a little more interesting.  Blessings and Grace for today, Teri

Legacies of Love and a huge Thank-you

In honor of our Grandparents, Great-Grandparents and even Great-Great Grandparents here is a overlay to show how much they mean to us! I am blessed to still have my Grand-Father alive and with my grandson, we now have 5 generations. Gramps and Stella are two of the most out going and active "great-grandparents I know! They live in Texas for half a year then off to Maine for the other half. We love going to visit them in Maine and look forward to next month to do it again. This is my "little 4 wheeler" as my husband calls it, and they had to take a spin in it when they visited us last! Don't they look dapper? I wanted to make something to honor them, so here you go. Also, Vicky at DigiScrapDepot wanted to have a little mini contest! I guess she just couldn't stand not having some type of a challenge going on! So, make ANY layout and post it at www.digiscrapdepot and you may win a mousepad with that layout on it! Isn't that a great way to keep their memories alive! So, it doesn't have to be this layout, any layout you want, tell a little about your grandparents, living or not, and lets see what kind of legacies they are leaving! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Now for my thank-you, to Shannon at http://scrappyshannon.blogspot.com/. She made over my banner for my layouts! Isn't this black and white darling? I love it! Hugs girl, thanx agiain!

Backyard Summer QP's by Creations by Rachael

Are these not the cutest colors? I love the color combination that Rachael used on this darling kit! And the versatility of the colors makes it so easy to put together a darling layout. Be sure to go to Pretty Scrappy and look at the complete kit, remember its called "Backyard Summer". I know the green dots are pretty wild, but I just loved the way it turned out! Be willing to move outside your comfort zone when you are creating! You will be surprised what you can come up with! Use elements, papers and arrange in a way that you never have tried before. I actually created the polka dot one and then put a solid green background with it. It was darling, "status quo" but it wasn't as unique as this one! That's the beauty of digi-scrapping right? We can play outside "our box", but "our box" is just a click away! Enjoy and leave me some love! Teri

April 2009 Calendar Template

Well, I am trying to stay on track here with my 2009 Calendar! And its already time for April. With all these season's changing I can't keep track of what season it really is? Is it fall or spring? I loved the starburst in this template. Keep looking for the next month's template which should be posted early next week sometime. I hope you are keeping up with creating these as I post them. You will thank me when you are done with these great gifts for the holidays. Happy Scrappin' in the mean time! His, Teri

And the winners are....

Well first of all I want to thank those of you who participated in the August "pick a template" challenge over at http://www.digiscrapdepot/. Snowsmoons design took the "gold" and "silver" went to Yvogoe. I am sorry that snowsmoon's preview is so small but go to DSD to see the full preview! I am not sure there will be any more challenges because of the lack of participation, but I had a blast and really enjoyed seeing all your layouts using my templates. Thanks for coming over to "visit" my at my blog! His, Teri

Choo-choo! My first Blog Train!

I am so excited to be a part of the September Collaboration over at ADSDesigners. The theme is Cornucopia of Colors! And what colors there are! I love Fall and the changing of the colors, which we do not have in South Texas. Every October, we go to Maine to visit my grandfather, and the colors are beautiful! I was blessed to be able to make four cute things, just for you. I hope you can use one, two, or all four. Be sure to visit all the links so you don't miss out on any of these fall colors! All Aboard! Teri
