They say it's your birthday...........

We're gonna have a good time!!!

Well it's seem that February is a very popular month for birthdays around digiland!!! Of course my birthday is in February, February 11th to be exact and I'm gonna be the big 36!! *ACK* I'm on the upswing to 40 people........there is no more "rounding down"!!! But it's also Sweet Shoppe Designs birthday this month and several of my fellow Christy Lyle CT members: Chelsey, Kat, Paula and Hyphen. Well I guess they don't call it the merry month of May for nothing *lol*

So with so many birthday's flying around I thought it would be appropriate to give all you Christy fans and little "birthday" gift!!!! These super cute quickpages featuring Christy and Robin's Festiverous kit available over in the shoppe at SSD!!! Psssssst........it's 34% off this week only to celebrate SSD 4th birthday!!!!



Use them as is for a super cute birthday page or I left plenty of room for you to add extra elements to personalize them a bit and I also left plenty of room for journaling so you can get those precious memories RECORDED!!! I split them into girl and boy download cause the files were a bit big so if you have girls and boys make sure you grab both links!!!! Enjoy, but always remember to respect the TOU!!!

Need a little inspiration!?!?!

Well Elizabeth here to help you on your way!!! My favorite type of inspiration is a good ole' fashion template!!! There are so many possibilities with templates. You can use them as in, flip them, rotate them, subtract from them or even add to them!!! I often find that when I start scrapping with a template my imagination and creativity really take off and when I'm done sometimes you can't even recognize the original template!! *lol* But that's "OK" and that's what makes inspiration......."inspiration"!!! So here is a simple little template freebie for you to help you along your scrapping way.....I hope it sparks some creativity for you!!! ENJOY!!!!



And here are a few pages from the Looney's that were inspired by this template!!!

Happy Friday friends! NeeNee here with a special post for you today that I hope will inspire you take some time this weekend and get your family organized! How, you ask? Well, using this fab calendar from Christy of course!



I had the honor of working with Christy to create this 2010 Activity Calendar using her A Year In The Life Collection.  Organize your family's chaotic schedule with this amazing activity calendar! Included are 24 8.5"x11" fully customizable .png calendar pages - 2 pages for each month (1 top page and 1 bottom page). Just add your photos to the pages, print out your very own unique calendar pages and be the most organize family on the block!

Here are a few pictures of my calendar after I printed it out.  I chose to use 1" book rings to hold mine together after inserting brads with my Crop A Dile Big Bite.  You could also have yours bound with comb binding or print just a month at a time!  There are many possibilities with this calendar!

 

 

 Didn't know about Christy's A Year In The Life Collection?  Well, we can not have that!  Let me tell you about it! 

Whether you are doing project 365, a book of me or just need some great coordinating kits, A Year In The Life Collection is perfect for your all-year-around scrapping needs!! This collection includes 12 mini kits. Each mini kit includes 4 patterned papers, 4 solid papers, 1 full alphabet and numbers set as well as and a variety of coordinating elements.
