Instructions on how to use Frame Freebies...

Good Sunday morning!! How is everyone? Pretty good here!! I have been asked from several people on how to use the Frame Freebies. So, here's a little instructions on how to use them. These are for both PSP and PSE - those are the other two programs I have. Although most should be similar.

**Bring up your frame
**Select your magic wand tool
**Then click anywhere on the frame and then you should see little marching ants around the frame as well as the letter/symbols. Make sure that all of the letter have the little marching ants around them as well as in the little holes in them, such as the letter s A or D (to do this hold down the shift key and click in the little holes in the letters to make sure the marching ants are in there.
**Pull up the photo that you want to use.
**Click on select at the top and then select all (this is for PSE). Then click on edit and copy. For PSP simply click on edit and copy.
**Then go back to the frame layer. Go to layer at the top and click on add a new layer. (I do this so that if I don't like it I can simply delete the photo without messing up the frame).
**Next, click on edit and paste into selection.

Waaa-laaaaa - your photo should be in your frame now!! I hope this helps!! These instructions can be used for any templates that you may have - of course you will do the layers in different stages on most templates!!

I also had someone ask if I was going to be doing any Baby's Firsts frames. Hadn't thought of those - but thanks for the wonderful suggestion. I will get right on those. If you all have any other ideas and have suggestions for the Firsts let me know!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! See you soon!!

Walk for Diabetes, Layout shares and a FREEBIE

Good morning all!! Been awhile!! I tell you that little one keeps me so busy!! But I have a few things to share with you.

First, my oldest son, Tyler, is doing a School Walk for Diabetes. This is a disease that hits our family close. Tylers deceased father, B.J. had diabetes, so we know how important it is to keep informed. I want Tyler to learn all about it so that he doesn't end up with it. I don't usually do this but I thought that this was important and would like it if you could visit Tyler's webpage and sponsor him by making a small donation. I know that times are tuff but any donation you make will help. Thank you in advance.

LAYOUT SHARES

Here are a couple of layouts I did recently using Island Girl Designs Along Came a Spider kit. You can find it at Moo Two Designs or Designs in Digital.

Preview of Island Girl Designs Along Came a Spider kit!!



This is Caden being a spider. But he calls it bug!! He is so amused by the word BUG!! He says it so funny - we all crack up when he says it!!



This is Tyler and Caden!! Tyler was Darth Vader!!



And last but not least is your FREEBIE!! I got to thinking that I had only done I Love Mommy frame - so why not include others. So, here's I Love Daddy frame!! Enjoy!!

And here's Caden and his Daddy or D as he calls him!! It's funny I guess Caden just got lazy and he calls me Ma and his Daddy D!! Too cute!!

Stay tuned for more I Love frames!!

New look and my B'day Gift

Hello all!! It's been awhile!! Been busy with the little munchkin and stuff!! I had a BIRTHDAY on the 17th (the big "37")!! Whoo hoooo!!! Just another day really!! Ended up helping Bentley work on a side job on my Birthday!! Of all days, huh? Oh well, it was fun - gave us some time together. Anyways, look what MAMA got for her B'day (well, it's a family present really)!!





Isn't he the cutest? His name is Tiger (Winnie the Pooh Tiger)!! He is 9 weeks old now!! I took him to the vet on last Friday and he was a little under weight (1.6 pounds) and has an upper respiratory infection, (vet gave me medicine) but other than that he is perfect!! I can tell that he will be up to par on his weight soon - because he is always hungry - tries to take stuff away from you!! So cute!! He's a cuddler - which I was hoping for!! Let's just hope that he doesn't outgrow it!! Will keep you updated on him!!

NEW LOOK

I finally got a new look!! Been trying for awhile to figure this blog layout and header stuff!! Even made my own but having trouble loading it right!! Must have it in the wrong size or something!! Anyway, I found a really great gal who give them away - Allie Brown!! This lady does awesome work and it was so easy to add - she even gives you directions on her blog. Check her out - THANKS Allie for the great layout and Designs by Vicki for allowing Allie to use her "Summer Cocktails" kit!!

The Book of Revelations!

I received this in an email.

This will make you re-think : A Trivia question in Sunday School : Howlong is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelations ? Guess theAnswer? Revelations Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is.
Almost a four-year term to a Presidency. All I can say is Lord Have Mercy on us.!!!!!!According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is:The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who willdeceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything ..
Is it OBAMA?? I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can!
Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet...do it! I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere....

Popular Songs

My good friend Gloria Val Verde me to this fun site that will tell you the popular song on the day you were born. What a cool thing!! Mine was Maggie Mae/Reason to Believe by Rod Stewart. It will also tell you songs on other dates (examples: The day you got married, the day your child was born, etc.). Here are a few more that I found:

The day Ben (dh/so) was born: Baby Come Back by Player

The day my oldest son Tyler was born: The Boy is Mine by Brandy & Monica

The day my youngest Caden was born: SexyBack by Justin Timberlake

The day I got married: Have You Ever REally Loved a Woman by Bryan Adams

The day my Mom was born: I Love You by Bing Crosby

The day my Dad was born: I Will Follow Him by Little Peggy March

Fun to see those!! Check it out and see what the popular song was on your special days!!

Big Boy Bed and some FREEBIES!!!

Hello everyone!! How's it going? Here it is pretty well. Guess what we did last night? That's right we changed Caden's crib into a toddler (Big Boy Bed). I have been dreading this day but knew it was coming. It only took about 45 minutes and lots of putting him back into the bed before he actually stayed in the bed and fell asleep. Check out his Big Boy Bed...




I thought ahead when I bought the crib and got a 4-in-1 that would change from crib to toddler bed to full size bed. Let me tell you it is well worth the money so that you don't have to buy a toddler bed (which they seem to outgrow in no time) or a full size. Will just have to buy the mattress. The only bad thing is when he gets up in the morning I won't be able to lay in the bed for a few more minutes like I could when he was in his crib. He is such a busy body that as soon as he wakes he's on the go. My little one is growing up (too fast)!! Sniff!! Sniff!!

Now I have some more FRAME FREEBIES for you. Donna has requested Grandkids. So, here it is along with other versions.
