Facebook Freebie

I love my Destination: Unknown kit and have created these lovely 4x6 journaling cards to match. These five cards can be used for pocket scrapping, as part of a larger layout or as a base for brag book pages. Pick them up on the Ivy Scraps Facebook page.

Destination: Unknown is great more more than just your vacation and road trip photos. Check out these layouts in the gallery.

AND this blog was decorated using the Destination: Unknown kit.

Religious Freedom LDS Blog Train

One of the basic tenets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is religious tolerance as stated in the 11th Article of Faith written almost 200 years ago: We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

So being an American and being a Mormon, makes me doubly grateful for the religious freedom I enjoy.


I put together this little kit on the spur of the moments and it contains some files from a color challenge last year as well as some new things. I would love to see what you do with this and the other kits from the train.  Pick up my part ad-free here (because it is a direct link - I don't get to see how many are downloaded and would love to hear your comments).

June MiniPixels at Ivy Scraps

The Mini-Pixels at Ivy Scraps this month all have a Wedding theme and they have all turned out so lovely. And it is a good topic as my family and friends have had several weddings and anniversaries in May.
My part is pictured here and can be found in the Ivy Scraps store and all of the matching sets here and each mini-kit is only $1. If you really want more for free (ok a little effort), head over to the challenge forums at Ivy Scraps and earn some more.

June is for Father's Day

Time again for the LDS Blog Train - This month's focus is Dads!
I have prepared a small card kit. The backs are 8"x 5" so that they will fit nicely on half a letter size piece of paper or they can be resized down to a smaller card.
My part contains 3 backs, 3 frames, 4 ribbons, a button and 2 word art.

Pick up my part ad-free.

Then head over to the LDS Blog Train for the list.

Since I have you here - I just put my DAD album back into the store. You can create a cute little album for a Father's Day present with either #1 DAD or heart my DAD. It is designed to print on letter sized paper and fold. You can print it as is and use your physical paper stash and photos to create the album or design it all digitally before you print. I would love to see your final projects.

Last month I was the focus of Gloria's generosity withe the kit named after me.  Once a month or bi-monthly she creates a kit in honor of one of our design, CT or membership family. We are not talking Mini kits here. We all know that Gloria is from Texas and they do everything BIG there! Her kits are no exception and into each one goes a lot of thought about the person she is shining the spotlight on that month. Gloria's heart is as big as the state of Texas and the design team at Ivy Scraps decided it was time to give some of that love right back to her.Thank you for being such an awesome friend and inspiration to us all! To the rest of you, follow the blog train and pick up the pieces of the kit Celebrate Each Day with Gloria!  Download my part.

Twice a year, the entire Mormon church watches the leadership give inspired messages. This April's Conference was full of talks that will keep me spiritual for the next six months. The messages are available here.

The LDS blog train has chosen general conference for a theme. I have been in a bit of a funk so I have packed what I had done at the beginning of the months to present to you all.
