A Freebie "To Do" list for you!

Good Afternoon Bloggers!

It's that time of year {well for me anyway} when I start to think about getting ultra organised. Doesn't last much further than the beginning of February really, but the thought is there! So I decided to get me a-designing a 'to do' list to write down all those most important of jobs that absolutely must not be forgotten. I always find I get on much better with a little list of jobs and LOVE crossing them off when they're complete.

Made with my wonderful Serif CraftArtist Studio Professional Software, and the gorgeous American Crafts Blue Skies Digi kit, I thought I would share this little list with YOU! Seems a pity to be selfish and just hold onto it myself. I would love if you do decide to take it, that you could share the love and leave a comment, and maybe even share with others on your blog that the download is here!

All you need to do is click on the photograph to enlarge, then right click to save image.

Enjoy!

Good Evening!

Sorry I'm so late with this...it's been one of those kind of days where you've had so much to do you're not sure whether you'll come up for breath. Anyway, first things first {well if I knew what to do first, there wouldn't be much of a problem!} I completed my cards for Quick Cards Made Easy {I've been asked to do a couple of Subs Extra Cards}, then after delivering them to the post office, writing the instructions and my column, cleaning, putting on dinner, eating dinner, washing up, making sandwiches for tomorrow, I'm now eventually ready to post on my blog, the thing I've been itching to do since this morning. How does life get in the way??

So.... Freebie Digi Monday...How will it work?

I going to be giving you all a free digital image every Monday! It's about as simple as that. The first free digi I provided is *here*, but this is the very first official Free Digi Monday. You can use them as you wish, for cards to either sell or for charity; or to adorn cards for friends and family. All I ask is that you respect my artwork and do not electronically reproduce digital images for sale, and that if you use the images for publication, competition or DT work, you credit my work, and provide a link to my blog. I thank you in advance.

However, to make things a little more exciting, I thought I would combine Digi Freebie Monday with a 
Digi Challenge! I would like you to use the image I provide that week on anything you like ~ a card, scrapbook, tag, box, ATC, and post here using Mr. Linky. The challenge will be judged on Monday mornings before the new digi image and challenge is post and set. The winner of the Digi Challenge will win a little thank you prize! I hope that makes sense!

So, the free digital Image is...

You will receive four images as a PDF, two with a textured background and two with a smooth background. Let me know if you like them with different backgrounds! You can download them *here* ...

I've made a card using the digital image and I really hope you like it! It's made from a square card blank and I've cut from the bottom corners to 2cm in at the top to form a handbag shape.

Supplies: Free Digi Image: Clare Curd Crafts; Papers and Cardstock: Free Papers from Papercrafts Essentials Issue 68, Stampin' up, Coredinations White Cardstock, Tools: Martha Stewart Punch around the page - cherish, Quickuts nesting dies scalloped circle and circle, Embellishments: Papermania Ribbon and blue adhesive stones.

So...are you still with me?! Now onto the challenge. I would Absolutely ♥ ♥ ♥ to see what you do with this image! So all you have to do is make your creation, then add your name and the URL of where your creation is into Mr Linky! I will judge the winner on Monday 13th June at 10am, so...what are you waiting for?



Edited 13.06.11 - This challenge is now CLOSED. Thank you for your entries - new challange and FREE digi available later today! x

FREE Blog Candy for you.

Edited to add: this Blog Candy is now CLOSED. The winner is Sandracraftycrardz! Thanks to everyone who entered x

Have you got a sweet tooth? Well, a sweet tooth for Blog Candy?

Yesterday I promised you a little something, but I never got the chance to post as I took Joseph to Flamingo Land. What a gorgeous day it was, although I must say a little too hot for me! I have designed another Free digi for use on cards {scrapbooks, ATC's whatever really!}, the first one is *HERE*, but I have decided that I'm going to have a special day once a week for giving away freebies, and what better day than the first day of the week ~ 

Free Digi Monday! 

It's probably a day when we could all do with a lift! So be sure to visit next Monday {6th June} for your freebie! I may even have a contest with a prize for the best card made with the free digi - call it a challenge if you will!

Anyhoo,l before I get onto blog candy, I wanted to show you the building of our new patio, that's occurring right now, as I type - I can hear them out of my craft room window. We've had an area that can no better be described as 'waste ground' for years and years, and we decided to get Joe a trampoline {well, actually I really wanted one}, so we thought this was the perfect time to get something done with that area. It's going to look a.ma.zing!

We'll hopefully have the trampoline up tomorrow, so expect to see photographs of me*ahem*, I mean Joseph bouncing happily!

So onto the blog candy...It's not much, I've had a right good clear out {as we say ooop North} and most of my village, schools, friends charity shops and clubs have benefited from my crafty stash, so I have this little offering for you!

If you would like to win this, you have until 10am, FRIDAY 10th JUNE to enter. All you need to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post, and put a link to this blog and a mention on your blog. That's it, simple!

EDITED TO ADD: If you don't have a blog you can still enter, but I would really prefer it if you could put a link on your blog if you have one.
