LDS Blog Train: Worlds Without End

Hello Visitors!! Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe that Worlds Without End were created. I have chosen in my mini-kit to focus a bit on the one we have. I love the children's song - I Think The World is Glorious which inspired my word art. (You can download the song -sheet music and MP3 as well as multiple languages at the link above.)

Pick up this mini-kit at sendspace. Like any free site, be wary of the ads. Look for the link that says: "Click here to start download from sendspace. Sometimes it takes some people to another page that offers a quicker download - uncheck the box under that download button and it will take you to the slow (but no additional software) download page.

Hop back to the LDS blog train site for a complete list. Some have done Family Home Evening printables.

Happy International Scrapbooking Day

I do hope you get a chance to sit at your computer and explore today. At Ivy Scraps, we have hidden little add-ons to our May MiniPixel which is lovely in itself. You can buy some bits of the Mega kit in the store, collect some by doing challenges and pick up a few hidden around the site for this weekend only. *hint* I hid one in the challenge I host and another .... mh, I would hum the song, but you cannot hear the very popular annual tune.

Patchwork Friends

A new collaboration kit is available at Ivy Scraps, Patchwork Friends. You can get the whole set, a bunch of mini kits by all our designers, for free when you sign up at Ivy Scraps or for $1 each for existing members.

Great kit in great colors.

LOTW

Yeah for me! This layout celebrating spring and the daffodils that are blooming now where we live was chosen as layout of the week at Ivy Scraps. You too can grab this kit for free in the Use it or Lose it challenge (if you promise to create a layout and post in our gallery) at Ivy (minus the green paper which is mine in the April Mini Pixel set).

Quick Page Challenge

Come on over to Ivy Scraps and request this lovely kit - Misty Morning - Just promise to make a quick page, share with our group and do a bit of advertising for me and it is yours to keep. Request the kit in this forum at Ivy Scraps.

Check out what has been done in the gallery.

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Yep, my birthday is this weekend and you get the gift!! The coupon code ~ KKgerApril ~   is good for $2 on regular products in my Ivy Scraps store - no CU, no bundles, must spend at least $1.55. Good until April 16th. Celebrate!!

Don't forget to join the Quick Page Challenge at Ivy Scraps and to pick up the full version of Misty Morning. Scroll down a bit for a stack and cluster from the same kit along with an drawing chance for a free kit from my store.

CU Freebie

I like to make my own unique elements and this is one type I learned from one of my students in a Designer Class I taught. This Commercial Use file is available at the Ivy Scraps CU Fan Freebie page - must like the page to download.

New Kit and Freebie: Misty Morn

Finally tucked away, Misty Morning is in the store.
Misty Morning is a kit I created during a contest some years ago. I am using the Revived title, (thanks to ....) to indicated that each piece has been improved in some way. I have also added many new items.
You can get this kit for free this month in the Quick Page challenge over at Ivy Scraps. Get the kit, make and share a quickpage, and do a bit of advertising for me ... the kit is yours!
Personally, I don't use quickpages. I think it stifles the creativity. But for a fast way to create a page - they are a good idea. But after you have used them once, would you use them again? I stole an idea and this is the first time I have tried it as a designer. I have created a stack and a cluster which can be combined quickly in many, many different ways. I want to see if it is true. So I am giving away the Misty Morning stack and cluster shown here. Anyone who posts 2 different layouts in my KatLen Kreations Gallery at Ivy Scraps will be entered in a contest for one free kit of their choosing from my KatLen Kreations Ivy Scraps store (CU not included).

Challenge at Ivy Scraps

Wow! Where has March gone ...

I am hosting the Learning Challenge over at Ivy Scraps.
Come find out about drop caps - pick up my free Alpha in the forums. Then after you complete the challenge - pick up this happy spring mini-kit or grab it and many matching ones in the store for only $1.
