ScrapMatters Blog Train...

Hello and Happy iNSD!!!

ScrapMatters is celebrating with a BANG! and to get things rolling, their hosting a blog train! Woot! So many freebies, so many goodies! Be sure to check out all the games going on in the ScrapMatters special iNSD forum to play along and earn even more freebies!

The kit used to create all the goodies that you can pick up along the trail is called "Timeless" - and it certainly is! You will love it... check it out:



Did I tell you it was gorgeous!? It's got all kinds of wonderful vintage, shabby, time worn papers and elements in it! It reminds me of times I used to spend going to the antique stores every summer, rummaging through the boxes and bins for that one special item I'd take home!

I created a frame cluster for you...hope you like it!



You can grab my freebie here... (sorry links disabled)

You should have come from Sharon's "Quietangelsb's Scrap Corner"blog... and now you can head on over to Cathy's "Scrap's of Life" blog.

If you get lost along the way, you can start back and the beginning station... the ScrapMatters Blog.

"Hot, Hot, Hot" Summer Themed BlogTrain

Ticket, please!

That's right, it's BlogTrain time again! Yep, it really is!
This time, I joined up with a bunch of girls from the Design Star contest at ScrapMatters... we decided upon a summer theme...and boy is this train HOT!

I used the same colors in my Takin' It Easy kit...so everything will match spectacularly!

Quick preview of the kit:

Mother's Day Blog Train FREEBIE

Before I say anything about the blog train, I have to put a reminder out there for the Speed Scrap I'm hosting tomorrow night at Faith Sisters! (9pm EST) Come spend time with me! I'd love to meet you and hang out for an hour or two! Okay...on to the train...

Those half-baked girls have been at it again! This time we decided to focus on mom. We chose some wonderful browns and pinks for you to scrap those favorite memories of mom with. Be sure to stop at every stop so you can get the full mega kit! But, don't worry, if you miss a stop...it will be for sale at Brownie Scraps in a month or so, and all proceeds will benefit breast cancer research.

Here's my portion:

I really enjoyed working with these colors, and I SO had fun with this great paper...you are gonna love it to! And, the wonderful thing about a blog train is that all the pieces work together and make one mega kit when you get them all! I hope you enjoy this one!

Blog Train - FREEBIE - by the Half-Baked Girls

Remember the challenges I was doing over at Brownie Scraps? Well, that's all done, but we all became such good friends, we didn't want to see it end. We decided to have our own blog train instead! How fun is this going to be???

Okay, and remember it's also to help celebrate my Grand Opening over at Been There Scrapped That...right? So don't forget to drop in and snag one of my kits at a special price! I so excited to start seeing your layouts with my designs!

Well, you remember the preview I put up Monday night? Yes, well, I said our theme was a summer one...Ice Cream Shoppe. I certainly think you'll enjoy all the wonderful offerings we have for you!

Only one more thing to remember...the blog train doesn't officially start until tomorrow - Arpil 1st...so not all the links below the preview will have the blog train freebie yet...it starts tomorrow - April 1st...I'm just putting this out there a bit early.

Here's my portion at this stop on the train:
