Joy to the World!!

Happy Holidays!! I LOVE this time of year!!! So here is the beginning of my Christmas Stuff!! This week I am releasing Joy to the World a beautiful Vhristmas kit that also happens to be a collab with Becky of SAHM Scrapper. Head to her blog HERE to snag her freebies! I should warn you though... you are probably going to go over there and see her part and wonder if I screwed up the color pallet AGAIN!! Well - no I didn't - I just couldn't seem to make the blue work for some reason.... Maybe I'm just dysfunctional right now - but I could not get the blue into this kit to save my life! So our kits were designed with the same color pallet and a Christmas theme.... and we came up with two very different kits! LOL Her's is awesome thought so go grab it!!
This is the full kit that you can find at Stuff to Scrap and Digital Paper Hearts. The best part is - since this is a holiday kit, it will be on sale until Wednesday!!

Here is the full kit.

Check out these gorgeous LO's by my CT!!

Manda

Crystal

Christie Dawn

Here is a sample pack for you from this kit - enjoy and stop by tomorrow for a second alpha!

Gratitude QP

LOL - ok here is the QP for Gratitude. I really LOVE this kit - I love the colors and had lots of fun with them!

Ok - so a couple of you expressed an interest in what books would be distracting me from my scrapping - well you are all going to think I am the biggest nerd..... but here goes.... Right now I am about finished with "The Three Musketeers" This book has been a blast to read!! I really enjoy reading classic literature. The book that I am reading next will probably totally screw up my resolution to get ahead on kits so that i'm not finishing them the day after I was supposed to give them to my CT. I LOVE fantasy and I'm a big Robert Jordan Fan. If you don't know who that is... well google it. :) He wrote a series called "The Wheel of Time" and the passed away before finishing it. Well they found another author to work with his notes and his wife/editor to finish the series - the first non-Jordan written book came out recently and as soon as I can pry it from my DH - I will be out of all loops for about 3 days until it's done. Finally - Mary Higgins Clark and her Daughter Carol Higgins Clark have a Christmas mystery out that I snagged the other day and HAVE to read - that one will probably only take one day to down - but I won't do much else that day either! Haha - ok so now you all know how nerdy I am - the picture would only be complete by telling you the final genre that I LOVE to read, but isn't represented here - Historical Mysteries. :)

LOL - now for those of you that read that last paragraph - you ROCK! For those of you that skipped to the freebies - Here ya go!

Gratitude

Ok, so funny story.... Kathy and I decided to do a colloboration, I was feeling a bit mojo-ed out after September and was looking for some inspiration. She provided some colors and themes and I picked one and we got to work. We finished our kits, sent our previews to eachother and then realized that we had used the same theme with different color pallets!! LOL So we each have an awesome kit for you to download this week, they just don't quite match like we thought they would! Anyway - here's the full previews of our kits and as usual you get the papers today!!

Here is Kathy's full preview and her paper preview - click on either one to go to her blog and snag this beautiful kit! Here is what my fabulous CT has done with the kit! First up is an awesome 2 pager from Steph of Scrappy Cocoa who has volunteered to be on my CT!! How could I possible turn down such an incredible artist! :)

And I just LOVe this one from Christie Dawn! She did this for one of the daily challenges at STS this month! The challenge was to not use any squares or rectangles - I love how it came out!


And finally your patterned papers. I am really loving how this kit came out and I hope you enjoy it also! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
