Butterflies in the Wind

I was just browsing around K-Joi Studios shop and man-oh-man ya'll!! You just won't believe all the wonderful wonderful freebies and WONDERFUL WONDERFUL new kits they have!! You have GOT to go check it out!! All the kits from the designers contest are still up and free for the snaggin'. I personally played with many of them and they were just lovely!!!!!

The contestants who took part in the designer contest got together and decided to hold a Blog Hop. Each contestant made a cool freebie for ya'll (available on their blogs), a way of saying "Thank You" for all the support they recieved these past few weeks. If you visit, please be sure to leave a little love and a HUGE HUGE thank you!!!! These ladies worked really really hard and deserve it ya'll!!! The links to the Blog Hop are at the bottom of this post.

Well ya'll, I HAD to play with my daughters pretty little pose picture one more time. I just love how she's posing for the camera. She was such a ham for the camera when she was little LOL!! Now she runs to grab something to hide her face any time I point one at her ROTF!!! Being a mother of 4, I can definately understand and respect the quote :-) I used mITSYBELLE's (one of K-Joi's newest designers) kit "Spring Meadows". It's an awesome kit and so easy to play with!! I absolutely LOOOVE the sticker flowers and the papers are just lovely!!!! This is another layout I made using mITSYBELLE'S "Spring Meadows" If ya'll can't tell by all the violin music I have playing here, I play violin myself and this is one of my all time favorite "Musical Quotes". Suits me too a tee LOL!!! This one and "Music washes away from the soul the dust of every day life". I'll have to do a layout with that one day as it IS my motto!!!!!
This is a photomanipulation I did with that very quote. Maybe I'll share more with ya'll over time if you'd like to see them. I made HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of them ROTF!! Tons with violinists as those are my absolute favorites!!!!
These are two more of my favorites. This one had animated waves and the bottom animated mist but I can't get gifs to work even though it says they will, go figure. I just love this saying as well. A few "smile" wrinkles dont hurt now do they :-) I figure we're gonna get them anyway, we may as well have fun putting them there ROTF!!!!
Well, we FINALLY got some rain here and Texas. Thanks to all who wished it my way LOL!! We needed it sooo desperately. AND HOT D#@%, it wasn't attached to a hurricane this time!!! We have just been POUNDED this year!!! And more yays my way, it has FINALLY cooled off here as well. I got to do a little baking. You DONT want to turn on the oven here in Texas when it's 105 outside UGH!!! So, to celebrate the cooler weather and winter coming up, I made ya'll a few Winter Sparkle Swirls to use in your layouts. You can CLICK HERE for this first one.
And then you can CLICK HERE for the second. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to make a decent preview with all four so I seperated them. With each download, you also will get the swirl paper I made for the background of the previews. As always, comments are welcome and if you'll leave your blog addy here or on 4-Shared, I'll be glad to stop by and visit ya as I looove love to get visitors myself :-)
And, now, as promised (you KNOW I had to make ya'll read my chitter chatter first ROTF!!!), here are the links to K-Joi's Designer Contestants Blog Hop. You all did a wonderful wonderful job ladies and congratulations to the new designers in the group!!!!!
