Hi everyone :)

Today I wanted to share a very generous blog award that I received from my friend Nani over at The Chronicles of Nani: the Kreativ Blogger award!

The award calls for me listing 7 things that I love and passing it on to 7 people who I think deserve it. First, my seven things:

1. football (go Bears!)
2. hockey (go Flames!)
3. my boys: Lucas, Oliver and Winston
4. snuggling
5. cadbury chocolate
6. my computer
7. crafts

And now… I pass the award along to 7 people, in no particular order:

1. vicki’s blog: a work in progress
2. crafting with cat hair
3. aunt judyL’s house
4. delicious scraps
5. pillowgirl
6. scrap paper scissors
7. star scraps

Congrats! Also today I wanted to release another freebie font — this time it’s for PERSONAL USE ONLY (my last one was commercial use but this one is just personal use please) and it’s called LesleyK Print — coming in regular and bold print :) I made this one myself, too, and it’s of my actual handwriting!  How cool is that? :) I hope you enjoy it.

Download my LesleyK Print personal use freebie font HERE.

Are you watching the U.S. elections? We are! Guess we’ll all know very soon who the next president will be. Anyway, see you back here Friday (my husband’s birthday!) for another fun freebie :)  Take care!


Happy Halloween!

Halloween Hanging Cluster Frame

Halloween Hanging Cluster Frame

Happy Halloween everyone!  Today for Freebie Friday I have a spooktacular Halloween-themed hanging cluster frame for you :)  All you have to do is add your own background and insert a photo behind the frame and voila!  It’s the perfect complement to any of your spooky celebration layouts this holiday.

Anyone going trick-or-treating tonight?  What are you dressing up as?  We most likely will not participate in the festivities this year.  As much as I love opening the door and greeting cute little trick-or-treaters in their costumes and giving out candy, our dogs get really stressed out and I’d rather not have to deal with that.  Not to mention anyone that comes to the door will be scared away the moment they start barking out the little side window — they sound so ferocious, but really they’re harmless.  It just gets them really excited when someone is at the door.  Poor Oliver flips out if he hears a doorbell on the television, let alone added to the excitement of someone actually being at the door, too.  So I think for this year we’ll have to pass :(

Anyway, you can download my hanging Halloween cluster frame HERE!

Have fun (and be safe!) out there tonight — Happy Halloween!  Hope you enjoy the freebie :)


A Commercial Use Font For You

Pinktoque Dots Freebie Font

Pinktoque Dots Freebie Font

Welcome back!  Today I have for you my first ever freebie font: pinktoque dots. And even better? It’s commercial use! I created this font myself and it’s the kind of font I use when I’m making decorative things like tags or handmade cards for friends and family, with little dots on the ends of the letters.

This font has all 26 letters, both capital and lowercase, as well as numbers and typical punctuation marks and symbols that are fully functional.  Simply install it into your C:\Windows\Fonts folder (you can copy/paste it there and it will install for you) and away you go :)

Even though this is a commecial use item, there are still terms attached to it, so be sure to read those in the download before using, or check them out here.

Download my Pinktoque Dots commercial use freebie font HERE!

Hope you enjoy the freebie :) See you tomorrow for Freebie Friday with a Halloween theme!

DIY Jack-O-Lantern Freebie Kit

DIY Jack-O-Lantern Freebie Kit

With Halloween upon us this week, I thought it would be nice for you to be able to build your own jack-o-lantern in the digital scrapping world.  This mini kit I designed contains one base pumpkin and loads of different faces!  There are 3 ready-built faces BUT you can also create your own with separate pieces: 4 different shaped eyes, noses and mouths that come in 3 different style types — that’s 36 different pieces that you can use by mixing and matching to create just the right expression on your jack-o-lantern.  All in all, this kit contains 40 pieces for you to enjoy this hallowed season.

Not interested in the faces?  Use the base pumpkin element to spice up your holiday pages and bring a little pumpkin cheer to your fall layouts or recipe cards.  I know you have an amazing pumpkin pie recipe that is just waiting to have the perfect pumpkin graphic to accompany it!

Download my DIY Jack-O-Lantern kit HERE!

Don’t forget the kit is for personal use and all of that.  TOU included!  I’ll be back later this week to give away a free font, and Freebie Friday will contain yet another Halloween themed freebie for you, too. Trick or Treat!

Morning Brew Freebie Kit

Morning Brew Freebie Kit

I’m a little later than usual getting my Freebie Friday posted, but I didn’t forget you!  This weekend I’ve got a 3-day special: my newest kit, “Morning Brew!”  Today’s gift is the kit itself — complete with 4 papers and 13 elements, broken into two downloads for your convenience.  Tomorrow will be the first of two quick pages: one for coffee lovers.  Sunday’s quick page freebie will be for the tea lovers. :) “Morning Brew” is dedicated to the two drinks we just can’t live without in the morning, whose warmth prepares us for the day ahead. (Or soothe us just before bed if you prefer the decaffeinated variety!)  For the coffee fans, you’ll find a steaming coffee mug element, either by itself or with a napkin underneath.  The tea lovers will love the individual mug of hot tea and tea bag elements, which also alternately come with a napkin underneath.  Additional elements include decorative mats, tea and coffee stains and coffee beans.  Inspire a little caffeine in your layouts with “Morning Brew!” I personally photographed both the coffee and tea mugs, napkins and the tea bag for extraction in this kit, so I’m especially proud of the turn out. :)

Download the “Morning Brew” papers HERE.
Download the “Morning Brew” elements HERE.

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow (and Sunday) to snag the two freebie quick pages that I designed to go along with this kit.  I’m sure the coffee or tea lover in you will love them! Happy Freebie Friday and hope you have a wonderful weekend :)


Peas in a Pod

Peas in a Pod Mini Pack

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. :)


You Are My Sunshine, Readers

My Readers are my Sunshine!

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.

Download my “You are my Sunshine” Quick Page HERE.

Thank you for being my sunshine and for pushing me to keep creating each and every day. :love:

Fall in the Mountains QP

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.
