DST Blog Train: GRANDMA'S QUILT

Pastels are hard for me - I'm a bold-color kind-of girl. But this month's train from DST is very, very pretty! Just think of what you could do at Mother's Day - albeit cards, layouts, or other crafty gifts! There are always 100 designers who participate in these magnificent blog trains. If you get lost along the way, go HERE to the central hub!

If you are following the train in order, you would have come from: Aveziur

Here is my part:

This freebie has expired - but you can pick it up at my store.

The next stop on the track is: Aimee Harrison Designs

As always, my kits are S4H/S4O-friendly and I WORK FOR COMMENTS!

If you create something with my part, please consider uploading to the NEW MagsGraphics Gallery! Special discounts and coupons may follow if you do...!!

Happy Scrappin'!

ADSD December Offerings

The ADSDesigners are in the process of switching over to new leadership. I am passing on the torch to two lovely ladies who will take us into the next decade! Trish and Jordan have lots of exciting things planned, and I can't wait to see what's next on their agendas!! Thanks, you two, for stepping up!!

There are TWO blog trains running this month, and the ADSD members had the choice to participate in one or both. Some will be offering Quick Pages to last month's "O Holy Night" collab while others may be offering a new palette called "Christmas Wishes!".

I have a mini Christmas Wishes kit for you - I hope it helps you with your Christmas layouts, cards, or thank you notes!

Special THANKS to Incognito11967, DesignzByLou, & TheScrappinCop for some CU-friendly templates!

Sorry - this freebie has expired - but you can snag it from my stores.

This kit is free all month long... your COMMENTS are payment enough!

You can find the next stops on the trains in the list to your right --->

Enjoy!

DST Blog Train: THE ORIENT

There is a LOT going on in November - several blog trains, new collab kits, etc. One of the events I joined was the DST/Blog Train Blog's November Mega Collab called "THE ORIENT." There are 99 designers participating as well - that's the potential for a LOT of free stuff!!

For this train, the stop before mine was Designs by Lisa Minor

Here is my offering; I decided to focus on Chinese take-out-- one of my favorite things. We have a Fantastic Wok nearby that DELIVERS, and it's, well, fantastic, of course! My personal favorite is Curry Beef and their Shrimp Toast... YUM-O!

The download link is direct... so while you're NOT WAITING in the long queue at 4shared, consider leaving a comment below...! What's YOUR favorite take out item?

This link has expired - but you can snag it from any of my stores!

The next stop on the train is Three Hearts
And if you get lost, go here: http:// blogtrainblog.blogspot .com.

This kit will be available for November - then it goes in all three of my stores!
Enjoy!

Halloween Contest Winners!

I loved looking at the 7 layouts posted for the first ever MagsGraphics Layout Contest! All of them were super! You all are so creative! After three days of voting, we have our Top 3 Layouts - each of these designers win the complete set of Halloween Tear Bears as well as a $10 coupon to the MagsGraphics Store. The rest of the participants got to snag each quick page created for the contest, and of course, got their original tear bear kit for free.

Coming in 3rd Place was this fun layout by Jenyfer V! I like how she tinted the background paper with just hints of orange to match her photos:

Our 2nd Place winner was Jemima with this Mummy Quick Page; I love the jaunty way the photos are placed down the page:

And our 1st Place winner was Lori with this adorable pumpkin page. It could be that the adorable little pumpkin-baby stole our hearts... or the way she split the paper so that she could tuck the photo into it!

I've got ideas for a future contest in December... and I hope you all will join in the fun again!

THANK YOU to Lori, Jemima, Jenyfer, Janie, Kathy, Linda, and Ninette for participating! I loved seeing what you created with my kits!! And THANK YOU to the 43 people who placed their votes for the contest!!

Introducing the MADELINE Build-a-Kits!

I always expected I'd have a daughter one day, but God apparently had other plans... as He blessed us with two sons. I've done scrap kits in honor of my boys, Jack and Luke, but this kit is for the girl I didn't have... if we had had a girl, we would have named her Madeline Elise... so today, I present to you the first of the Madeline Build-A-Kits... the PAPERS:

And your first FREE gift for this series is a complete pack of the MADELINE papers: Paper Pack 1.

This freebie has expired - but you can pick it up at my stores.

All of the kits in this series are available at all three of my stores:

MagsGraphics.com
DigiscrapStation.com

Your COMMENTS and FEEDBACK are treasured and appreciated!
Come back soon to see the Madeline Ribbons... coming up next!
