2009-03-24T09:20:00.000-07:00

I set out to scrap the pictures I took of my kids on picture day and realized that I didn't have a kit that matched them. So, why not make one that does? lol The end result was my new kit Lazy Day. 10 patterned papers, 5 solid papers and a boat load of elements make this kit a lot of fun to work with. Plenty of blue for boys and lots of frills for girls. Great for everyone! Available here.

These are the photos that inspired this kit. Paticularly the colors in my daughter's shirt and the brown stripe on my son's shirt.

Look at these gorgeous layouts that my creative team members have created!

Thankful Club Kit and Vintage Add-On

2008-11-21T07:52:00.000-08:00

I had the privelage of contributing to the November Club Kit at Digital Freebies. Dielle Designs and I each supplied individual kits that both use the same color swatch. So you'll get 2 kits by 2 designers in 2 different styles that still share the same colors and will work together. In addition I also made a vintage style HUGE add-on kit and my creative team members have made some pretty amazing layouts with it.

Here's the club kit. Available here.

And this is the Vintage Add-On Kit. Available here.

I also made a set of quick pages using both the club kit and the add-on. These are availble here.

And look at all of these gorgeous layouts that my creative team members have made using both of these kits!!!!

Don't miss out on the November club kit! Just $5 for two kits!

sample layouts

2008-10-23T07:41:00.000-07:00

Check out these great layouts my creative team members created with the new 2 Page Layered Templates! And without knowing Jessica and I both used the same template and the same Easy Going kit to create our layouts. And yet, look how different they are from each other! Gotta love that versatility!

Here's Jessica's:

And mine:

And Carol created this beautiful layout using some of her gorgeous vacation photos and products by Kathryn Balint.

Don't forget too that these templates can be rotated and flipped to achieve several different looks from the same template. :)

2008-10-23T06:44:00.000-07:00

You asked, I answered. FINALLY some more 2 page templates! I've had several requests for more 2 page templates but for whatever reason I was SUPER slow getting around to it. The other day I was looking through my paper scrapbooking albums and realized that I had several 2 page layouts in them that I could easilly make into templates. I rarely do 2 page layouts myself but I know that a lot of scrappers like for their side-by-side pages to coordinate. This set of templates includes 6 individual templates that are created to be used either individually or together as a 2-page layout. Below are the paper layouts that were my inspiration for the templates. You can purchase them here and they are currently 30% off too!

So very....Easy Going

2008-10-17T10:40:00.000-07:00

Introducing my newest kit, Easy Going. Calm, cool and relaxed colors make this kit so laid back and easy going.

With a hodge podge mix of elements this kit has tons of versatility. Just look at some of the layouts the creative team has done with it! Grab it quick, it's only 30% off until Tuesday (Oct.21)!

It's that time of year again!

2008-10-13T14:49:00.000-07:00

Well, it's that time of year again. Hunting season in one form or the other has started here in Iowa. Thankfully my husband only hunts during one of the deer seasons. I know plenty of guys that hunt non-stop. If your husband, brother, etc. happens to be that kind of guy then you'll want to pick up this kit. It's not new but I wanted to spotlight it since it's fitting for this time of year. Jam packed with hunting and general nature items. Available here. Last fall one of my creative team members made an awesome calendar for the men in her family using this kit and various pictures of them hunting. Perfect gift idea!

And here are some of the awesome layouts my creative team members have made with this kit.

2008-08-13T14:47:00.001-07:00

Sorry! I've been a terrible blogger lately!!!! Since my last post I've added several new items to the Digital Freebies blog. Here are a few of the most recent items.

First up is Layered Templates Set 17. This set of templates is an accumulation of templates that I've created for the Digital Freebies Double Trouble Sketch Challenge. So if you've been missing out on the challenges then this is your chance to get those templates. Available here.

Next is Layered Templates Set 16. This set was requested by one of my ct members who was looking for layouts that just use one photo. And since I often scrap that way myself it was easy to come up with some. :) These are available here.

My latest kit (and my favorite that I've created so far) is called "Son"shine. This kit is packed with boy themed items but also has enough odds and ends to give it a lot of versatility. More previews are available here. And you can find several layouts in the DF gallery that use this kit. Just do a search to find them.

I also created this fun and cute bracket album using the "Son"shine kit. Perfect for making gifts for family members or for a coffee table album. Check it out here.

I've also come up with two sets of clusters for you. Cluster Craze 1 and Cluster Craze 2. Both sets include 4 .png clusters. My creative team has been creating some awesome layouts with these. Set 2 is on sale right now for just $1.75!!!!

Last but not least is a new set of CD Album Templates. It had been awhile since I created my first set and felt it was time to make some more. You can find them here.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! If I get a free minute I need to make up a freebie for you all again. It's been awhile!!! Check back and hopefully there will be a little goodie here for you soon. :)

Have a great day!

-Jennifer

Little Firecracker

2008-07-09T07:36:00.000-07:00

Hope everyone had a fantastic and safe 4th of July!!!! We spent the 4th in our traditional manner. Parade in the morning (our son is in the parade for Cub Scouts) and then Grand Mound fireworks in the evening. Unfortunately my pictures this year are pretty crummy. :(

My son hates having his picture taken and with him in the parade I don't have pictures of him waiting for the parade, gathering candy, etc. anymore and neither child was overly cooperative later in the day either when I'd try to get pictures. Oh well. There's always next year! LOL

To celebrate the 4th I created this kit called Little Firecracker. It's filled to the brim with both vintage and modern elements and lots of papers. Versatile for any generation of pictures. Available here.

Stay tuned for a super cute boy kit that I have in the works. It'll be released next Tuesday (July 15th).

Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-11T18:14:00.000-07:00

Hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful Mother's Day! Jason and the kids surprised me in a big way with a mother's ring with all our birthstones in it. My husband is NOT a jewelry buyer so this was a total shock. lol My daughter helped pick out the style and I must say she did a fantastic job. :)

I wanted to post this a lot sooner but we were camping all weekend and got home today. We got rained on AGAIN which seems to be the trend whenever we try to go camping. Kyle's birthday was Friday and we had his party at the campground yesterday. Thankfully the rain held off until the party was over. But it stormed all night long. We had the joy of packing up today in rain and mud. Overall we still had a great time though.

In honor of Mother's Day I wanted to give away this little Mother's Day Mini Kit. Hope ya like it!

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted on here! SORRY!!! A few things have changed that I should mention from the get-go. I started selling at Digital Freebies in January and am happy to be settling into my new digital home. Unfortunately this will be my last month at KB and Friends as some changes are taking place there. I will definitely miss it!!! I'm in the process of moving items over to the Digital Freebies store so not everything is available there yet. You'll want to keep checking the store there as I move things over. A few new items have been added since I last posted on here. Here's a list of the latest.
A Heartfelt Holiday Brag Book Pages - Available at both stores

If you purchased my Grandma Mabel's Parlor Papers you'll want to check out the coordinating element set. Available seperately at KB and Friends.

Get the full kit and save at Digital Freebies only.

FYI: I'm also retiring several items from KB and Friends that won't be making the move to Digital Freebies. Now is your chance to grab them at a great bargain price! Visit the sale section here.

I added some new creative team members this month and I hope to have some time tomorrow to introduce them and share some of their recent layouts. I'm lucky to have such wonderful people on my team!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read this!
-Jennifer

And last but not least is a set of rectangular templates for the 8 1/2 x 11 scrapper. Rectangular Templates Set 6.

My creative team members have also been busy creating fantastic layouts! Check out a few of their recent creations:

New Christmas items in the store!

2007-12-10T19:57:00.000-08:00

Just in time for the holidays I have a new kit and some beautiful stained glass elements for your scrapping pleasure. :)

First up is Christmas Festival. It's a mix of various holiday things as you'd see at a festival.

Second is my set of Stained Glass Christmas Elements. Perfect for dressing up holiday cards or layouts.

Right now Christmas Festival is $1.00 off and the stained glass elements are also on sale.

Here are a couple layouts that my creative team has made using the new kit:

Lynn created this vintage styled layout that captures some warm, playful memories of her with her "pa". Credits here.

Kim made this adorable card for her son's teacher. Credits here.

Here's one I scrapped of my daughter with Santa. Credits here.

And some pics of her taken last year. Credits here.

Free Christmas Card Template for you!

2007-11-30T13:13:00.000-08:00

I made these last year for the holiday season and thought I'd share one with you this year. Plus I'm marking $1.00 off the price of this set for the weekend. So they will be just $3.00 for the set of 6! Get them here. Enjoy and if you download the freebie please leave a comment. :)

I just realized that I don't have a preview of the individual freebie but it's the stocking template shown in the overall preview below.

Download the freebie here.

Here's a sample card I made using this free template. (kit is Kathryn Balint's Christmas Wishlist)

And Laura, one of my ct members, made a super cute hybrid card using the Joy template.

A Hunter's Heaven Kit

2007-11-18T07:59:00.000-08:00

The majority of the men in my family are hunters and since that time of year is upon us again it seemed only fitting that I create a kit I can use with all the pictures I have of them in their hunting gear. :)

You can find the kit here.

My creative team has been busy making some amazing layouts with this kit. Here are just a few of their creations.

Lynn Johnson had the perfect photos for this kit!

Julie made a really neat calendar for the men in her family using the hunting kit and my rectangular templates. Complete with a cool cover that her brother helped her design.

Here are a couple that I made as well.

2007-10-22T07:29:00.000-07:00

This set includes 7 black-and-white .png images that you can use as is or color them in with the paint bucket. 4 of those images (the witch, wizard, pumpkin & ghost) also come as a layered template that you can personalize with patterned papers to give your layouts a custom look. Available here. On sale right now for just $2.00!

Here is my newest kit...Birthday Boy! I got a bit carried away with this kit and it ended up being a HUGE kit packed full of both birthday and non-birthday related goodies.

sample idea

2007-07-09T07:21:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to share another quick idea for the rectangular templates. Here is a layout I made using one of the templates from set 5. I simply removed the flourish and then placed the template onto a 12x12 background to create a square page. This would be easy to do with most of my rectangular templates so they can be used by square scrappers as well. :) This layout also uses my Spring Chick kit available at www.kbandfriends.com.

Rectangular Templates Set 5

2007-07-09T07:11:00.000-07:00

2007-05-27T07:01:00.000-07:00

I'm looking to add 2 new members to my current team. Basic requirements are:

*4 layouts a month.

*Post to KB and Friends, DST and 2 other galleries of your choice.

*Templates are sold in sets of 6 so I ask that you use 2-3 of them from a set before checking out another set of templates. (i offer both square and rectangular templates)

*You can use any kit by any designer that you'd like with the templates.

*Since I don't release as many kits as I do templates I will require one layout made using the kit when it's released.

*Contract is for a 3 month term. After that you can remain on the team if you'd like or resign. I will also have the option of not renewing a contract at the end of the 3 months.

I know rules, rules, rules. No fun right? If these requirements sound like something you can handle and you are interested in joining the team please email me at jas7797@iowatelecom.net and put Creative Team in the subject line. Include the answers to these questions:What is your screen name?Please include a link to your most current gallery.How long have you been scrapping?How many other creative teams are you on? (please make sure that you aren't spreading yourself too thin by being on too many teams. i'm looking for people who have the time to create the required layouts)What program do you use to scrap? My templates are strictly .psd files and therefore won't work in certain programs.You can check out the products that I offer here.

Hope this team sounds right for you! -Jennifer

I'm trying to scan in some older pics of my son so I can scrap them. :) These were taken when he was around 9 months old. He's grown just a tad since then. He's 5 1/2 now! Isn't Kay Eflin's kit cute? It's called Cousin Billy's Baseball Game and you can find it here. The stacked photo frame is by Misty Cato and the tag tie is from Betty Jo Martin's Zoom! Zoom! kit.

I thought it was time to seperate my personal blog from my designing information. So, this is the place to find anything new from me that's related to scrapbooking. It'll take me a bit to get this set up the way I'd like so be patient with me. :)

Thanks!
