Creative Christmas Ideas and calender

Doesn´t this wreath look so nice???? I saw it in the two-peas-in-a-bucket newsletter today and I just love it, I have a collection of grocery bags here (as here in Brazil they don´t seem to know regular shopping bags, and they look to you us as if we´re crazy when we bring our huge Dutch shopping bags to the supermarket!), so I´m definitely going to make one myself today!!!! You can find the instructions here

So I wanted to back up my downloads, and found out that I had about 13 giga, not even counting my kits of cen´s stuff and the commercial and freebie-designing stuff!!!!!! So I decided to do a big clean up, as when I started DS, I downloaded everything I saw, now I know more what style I like. So I threw out a total of 4 giga!!!!!! I have one DVD now full of only papers (4,5 GB)!!!!! I just couldn´t believe it!!!!!

Also wanted to share 3 more calender pages I made yesterdaynight

Bragbook page 1-8 now in .png and .zip( I was so stupid)

I am so stupid, I just found out that I uploaded my bragbookpages as .psp files instead of .png!!!???? Can´t believ it, I found out as I made page 8 today and found it weird that the .rar was only 2000 something kb, while the others were over 6 or 7.00. Anyway, I decided to put the pages 1-8 that I made all in one file, this time a .zip file, hope that is okay with you. If anyone
has any trouble, or finds an other mistake, or prefers .rar please please please let me know!!!!!!!!!! I´m taking down the other download links and will refer to this post.... Page 9 and 10 will be posted soon as well!!!!!

Freebie Animal Farm Bragbookpage part 5 of 10!!!!

I am always late for the scraplift challenge at digitalfreebies, also today I made it last minute, and since it had a lot of pictures (why didn´t I choose a simpler one??!!) my computer got annoyingly slow....... but Jody´s comment on yesterday´s post really made my day, so I decided to post right away another page, and I´ll do my best to get all 10 pages up in time for Christmas presents!!!!!

We had such a great day in the country of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Visiting my husbands familt, we encountered a totally diferent reality. The pictures show the house, inside and outside, the carriage, the plants, my husband with the pots and pans that were shiny as a mirror, and my mother in law who was having the day of her life!!!

It´s about time for another blog message, I just got a message from Jody saying she missed me, I felt so loved, couldn´t believe somebody would be waiting for me to post another message and freebie, so I decided to post right away! I started working on the calender again, the end of the year is close and I´m not sure if I´ll make it to finish it up, we are having guests this week so less time to spend on the computer........But here are september and november:

I made 4 bragbookpages for my friend who has beautiful kids as you can see! My friend send me the pics and I just had to csrap them, so I decided to make a bragbook out of it. I used Cen´s Stuff newest kit: flutter fairies element pack which you can find here and flutter fairies paperpack here. All of the font are from http://www.dafont.com/. The alpha in the first LO is from flergs (she has great stuff!) part of the whimsical wonderland collab kit available for download ´till Dec. 16th here. Scroll down for the freebie!

So here´s the 3d page I´m sharing! Don´t forget to leave some comments, I love to read it. (Even though I am really bad at that myself....)

Just sharing some more LO´s, I wanted to finish making pages of our trip to Belo Horizonte, so I decided to use the quickpages I received as a bonus for participating in a challenge at digitalfreebies. The rest wil probably have to wait, I still need to make at least one LO for June for the CT, and I need to finish my Simply Sarah calender as well............ The first LO is my own creation, for the scraplift challenge. Just read the whole message to find the freebies in the end!

Visiting my husbands aunt, we had a great time, by husband and his cousin spent a lot of time listening to music and creating a CD. Don´t they look alike?

So now let´s get to the freebie!!!!! June from Cen´s stuff makes some great stuff, and lots of freebies. The first freebie I downloaded was Animal Farm, a complete kit (loaded!!!), every day she shared a part (it´s still available, just look on her blog I think it was from August: http://censloft.blogspot.com/ ). I was just beginning with digital scrapbooking and immediately fell in love with her stuff as it was a bit diferent than the rest I´d seen so far. I made a LO, send it to her and I felt very loved by her sweet and enthusiastic comments, all of this led to me being part of her CT now!!!!!!! So I wanted to give you something for Christmas, I´ll be sharing some bragbookpages made with the same kit (I´ve used some elements of other freebies, and some PSP shapes and tubes). So come back, collect all the pages and you can make your own album to give away as a present for christmas, how about that? I´ll be giving away 10 pages, I´ve already made 7 so far...... be sure to come back and don´t forget to leave some love!!!!!!!
