Peas in a Pod
Peas in a Pod Mini Pack
It’s Wednesday and I just decided today seemed like a good day for a freebie. Since I had peas with my dinner this evening (yum!) I figured giving away my “Peas in a Pod” frame was a perfect idea. This puffy felt-ish frame features three little holes where the peas go for your photos. If three’s not enough peas for you, I’ve also included a separate single pea frame so that no one gets left out. Use it for baby stuff or use it just because. I love peas :D
Your download includes the three pea pod frame, a single pea frame and the Peas in a Pod paper I designed for the mini pack that you can see in the preview. I hope you enjoy the freebie!
Download my “Peas in a Pod” frame mini pack HERE, and have a wonderful Wednesday evening. :)
scrapbookYou Are My Sunshine, Readers
My Readers are my Sunshine!
Today’s freebie is dedicated to you. That’s right, you. As a special thank you to all of my readers, I made up a new quick page today. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for stopping by, for downloading my creations and for leaving comments (sometimes here, sometimes on 4shared) or for sending me thoughtful emails to let me know you care and that you enjoy my work. You are the reason why I put time in to make these digital scrapping goodies and you inspire me to keep going, keep growing, and keep making more as I learn. Some of you have been with me since my very first freebie and know that I’ve come a long way since then. I have met some incredible people via this blog who have shown me a lot of gratitude and today I want to show my gratitude for you and put as big a smile on YOUR face as you put on mine. You are my sunshine, readers! Enjoy today’s freebie: a quick page I dreamed up just for you.

Thank you for being my sunshine and for pushing me to keep creating each and every day. :love:
Fall in the Mountains Quick Page Freebie
Fall in the Mountains QP
As promised yesterday, here is the quick page freebie for my “Fall in the Mountains” mini kit. You can see it in use in my personal digital scrapbook gallery (page 43 at the bottom right). In the freebie preview to the left here it shows the page with text on it; the actual quick page doesn’t have text, that’s just something I added to the page after I inserted the photo I wanted to use with it :) I hope you enjoy the freebie. If you missed my mini kit that coordinates with this page, be sure to check out yesterday’s post on Freebie Friday to grab it. Happy scrapping.

Freebie Friday: Fall in the Mountains
Freebie Friday
Fall in the Mountains Mini Kit
Friday is here again, and besides being one of the best days of the week (yay for the weekend!) that also means it’s Freebie Friday here at the pink toque craft blog. Today I have the first part of my “Fall in the Mountains” series: today is the mini kit and tomorrow is a quick page I made up using it. Last weekend my little family (my husband and our two dogs) went up into Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies to revisit the place where my husband proposed nearly a year ago. We set off to hike at beautiful Lake Minnewanka with the boys, returning to that special spot as Mr. and Mrs. It was very sweet :) We hiked for nearly two and a half hours and took lots of georgeous pictures out there. I was inspired to create a little mini kit that I call “Fall in the Mountains” to pull colours from our adventures and get them down on digital paper.
“Fall in the Mountains” comes with two full sized background papers and a bracket paper, plus two large mat papers: a mountain photo mat and a large maple leaf shaped mat. The mini kit also includes 9 other elements ranging from fall trees to leaves and even a little Canadian Rockies element and frame. I hope you’ll be able to get some good use out of it :)
Download my “Fall in the Mountains” mini kit HERE and be sure to leave me some love if you do, I always love reading your comments here on my blog. And don’t forget to come back tomorrow for the QP! You can see a sample of it being used in my personal digital scrapbook gallery, page 43 at the bottom.
I’m off to pick up my little man — Winston, our white mini schnauzer went in for surgery this morning to get “fixed” and now he’s all ready for mama to come and get him. I hope he’s not in too much pain! The poor little guy has to wear a big cone collar for a bit until the incision heals. I’m sure I’ll have pics of his cute little face in a cone to share tomorrow ;) But the vet says he’s in good spirits and everything went beautifully, so I know he’ll be glad to come home and rest. Happy Friday!
CU Roses Freebie
CU roses by pinktoque
Just popping in to give away a quick commercial use freebie this evening: some roses! My husband is such a sweetheart and brought me home these gorgeous roses for no reason at all late last week. I wish I could keep cut flowers forever, but eventually they wither and I have to toss them in the trash. I decided I’d try my hand at photographing and extracting a few of the roses so that in a way, I could keep them forever… and give them away as a commercial use freebie so that others could benefit from them, too!
There are five greyscale roses in this kit, and each one is easy to recolour to match and supplement any of your kit designs. Please be sure to read the commercial use terms included! I hope you’ll find some good uses for these beautiful flowers.
Download my CU roses HERE.
See you back on Friday for Freebie Friday — I have a new mini kit and a new QP to give away this weekend that I know you won’t want to miss :) Enjoy your evening, and I look forward to reading any comments you leave!
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
Thankful for You Cluster Frame Pack, Personal Use
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada! Yesterday I gave away my “Thankful for You” quick page, and today I have another little freebie for you: the “Thankful” series of cluster frames! There are two frames in the pack, identical except that on one, the tag already has the text “Thankful for You” on it while the other frame’s tag is blank in case you want to put your own sentiment there instead. All you have to do is add your own background and insert a photo and voila! Show the world what you’re thankful for and use the frame on your own choice of background to give it your own personal flair. No matter if you use the QP from yesterday or use today’s frame(s) to incorporate into your own personal use designs, be sure to show off the people you are thankful for proudly, and don’t forget to remind them today, too!
Download my “Thankful” series of cluster frames HERE and be sure to leave some love if you download!
I’m working on some more freebies for you; I’ve created a little kit (and a coordinating quick page) to the tune of spending time in the mountains during fall as well as another autumn-y quick page that I’ve used to showcase photos from our little family trip out into the Canadian Rockies on Saturday to experience the fall colours. Want to see all of the fantastic photos we took? Check out our family gallery here. But don’t blame me if you suddenly have an urge to move here! ;) I’ve got some upcoming CU items coming as well, and even a new alpha. So much to give away it’s going to take weeks to release it all! See you back here real soon :) Hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving. <3
Thankful for You Quick Page Freebie
Thankful for You QP Freebie Preview
Happy Sunday everyone :) With it being a Thanksgiving long weekend I’ve got the first part of my Canadian Thanksgiving freebie giveaway for you today, and the other piece will be released tomorrow in time for turkey and all the trimmings. :) I whipped up a little quick page that I call “Thankful for You” that will be perfect to showcase what YOU are most thankful for this Thanksgiving. I chose a recent photo of my boys together: my husband, Lucas and our two dogs, Oliver and Winston because I am most thankful for my happy little family.
Download my “Thankful for You” Quick Page HERE.
Yesterday we spent the day out in the Canadian Rockies at Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park hiking up along the trails there around the lake and enjoying the fresh air and the last of the fall colours before the snow comes.
What I am thankful for
Surprisingly it was very sunny and not windy enough to make it too cold for us, and we took some amazing photos. I can’t wait to get scrapping with them; you can be sure I’ll have some to share very soon. (Along with a freebie that coordinates with the day!)
This evening we’ve been invited to have Thanksgiving dinner at Michelle’s mom’s house and we are thankful to have such good friends. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! See you back here tomorrow for the second part of “Thankful for You.”
Freebie Friday: Hockey Night in Canada
My Hockey Night in Canada Hanging Cluster Frame Freebie
I know it’s Thursday and so my Freebie Friday gift is coming a little early (though DigiFree won’t pick it up until tomorrow morning anyway) but the regular hockey season is definitely upon us now and my Flames are playing Vancouver this evening as their first game of the year. How exciting! :) Tonight CBC will announce the top two finalists for their new Hockey Night in Canada theme song, after narrowing the list down from 5. I participated in the vote a few days ago and can’t wait to see whether or not the one I chose out of the 5 make it. The second round of voting will commence this evening after the finalists are announced, and then the new hockey anthem will be revealed on Hockey Night in Canada’s traditional Saturday evening doubleheader game on CBC.
With all of this Hockey Night in Canada excitement, I thought I’d give away a fun hanging cluster frame featuring a space for your photo in a polaroid alongside Don Cherry himself in a HNIC themed freebie! :) Personal use only and all that jazz. See TOU.
Download my Hockey Night in Canada hanging cluster frame HERE!
And don’t go too far; I’ll be back on Sunday or so to give away a quick page I’ve made in celebration of Canadian Thanksgiving coming up here on Monday that I’ve named “Thankful for You.” So stay tuned! Enjoy the freebie :)
Tags and Scraps
Lesley's "Tags and Scraps" PU Freebie
So I’ve had this freebie element pack sitting around, finished forever ago it seems. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to release it; my only thought is that I keep coming up with new ideas that I can’t wait to make ASAP, and then those take priority when they’re finished and I release the new stuff instead. Maybe it’s because I’m getting better and better as a designer and so I get really excited when I make something new because I like the way it turned out? I’m definitely trying and I’ll just pretend that’s the reason ;)
Free for you today is my little “Tags and Scraps” pack, which is filled with… you guessed it: tags, tags and MORE TAGS!
Download “Tags and Scraps” set HERE.
More often than not I tend to find myself near the end of designing a digital scrapbook page and suddenly lacking a good vehicle for dates and short journal wordings. What’s a girl to do?  Sometimes I try to be artistic and pick an area on the page where I can type my wording alongside a photo or on the edge of a mat, but sometimes you just need a good tag for dates and little quips. My solution? Make a set of general, all-purpose tags! And even better: share them as a freebie with the rest of the digital scrapping world. 15 personal, non-commerical use tags and two notepapers that you can use with just about any layout! So today I present to you my set of tags. I hope they help you add that finishing touch to your scrapping projects when you need just a little word space.
Nani's Hoosier State layout
And also in digi scrapping news, my Ohiogander friend Nani sent me the sweetest email showing off a fabulous layout that she created using pieces of my Hoosier state kit for her scrapbooks. Isn’t it awesome? You should really check out her blog: The Chronicles of Nani. Thanks so much for sharing, Nani! Page posted with Nani’s permission. I really love seeing what others do with my freebie kits. I’m so lucky to have such kind and wonderful readers! <3 :heart:
Enjoy today’s freebie and Nani’s layout and blog! You can be sure there are more freebies on the way; I’ve got so many waiting to be released that I’m just not sure what I plan to give away next! Haha, there are worse dilemmas to be in I guess ;) Take care and happy Tuesday!
"Go Flames Go" Quick Pages
Go Flames Go QP Freebies
The third and final day of the Flames Freebie 3 Day Extravaganza is upon us and today I have the final piece for you: two quick pages! The quick pages use elements and papers from my “Go Flames Go” freebie kit. If you missed out on the papers you’ll find them here, and if you missed the elements pack, grab them here.
I am looking forward to using these quick pages myself; we’ve got tickets to the October 30th Flames home game vs. the Boston Bruins. What better way to show off some fun pictures of Lucas and I at the game than with these easy-to-use quick pages? :) If you have any trouble using them, just let me know and I’d be happy to help.
Nab the two “Go Flames Go” quick pages HERE!
So it’s Sunday and that means football around here. The Bears play the Lions and my husband’s team (the Bengals) play Dallas — eep! Time to enjoy a lazy day watching football and crocheting on the couch. Ahhh… I love Sundays! :) Enjoy your freebie and your Sunday!
P.s. I have around 10 freebies (some kits, some QPs, some cluster frames and even an alpha!) sitting in my “ready to release” folder… so be sure to check back for A LOT more goodies very soon. :)
