***SPOILER ALERT****GIFTS FOR EVERYONE LATER IN THIS POST***
Hi everyone! I hope you all had a very blessed Christmas!! We traveled to be with my parents for most of Christmas week. They live on the farm/ranch where I grew up and the girls had many more adventures to add to their collection of farm memories!
Here's a couple photos of Christmas Eve:
and of sledding:
and of playing in the giant snow mountain that my dad "built" for them with his tractor:
and my parents, aren't they so cute smooching at the top of the snowhill!
It will definitely be tough for all of us to get back on schedule Monday morning!
And on to scrapping, if you can make it through the following shameless advertising plug, you will be rewarded at the end! For those of you who are not familiar with the challenges at After Five Designs, let me just say that you have to go there and try it out! The atmosphere is so relaxed and fun and everyone who participates in the challenges gets a Member Rewards Card. Each challenge completed earns a punch on the card and when your card is completed, you earn a $10 gift card to After Five Designs! It basically ends up being about $1/challenge and we offer bonus punches at certain times too! And yes, I am definitely biased as Kristen (kristenrice) and I run the challenges there, but we have so much fun trying to make it fun for everyone who participates!! Click here to check out the basic challenge and rewards card info and click on each of the following challenges to go directly there. There are 4 challenges each month:
*On the House Challenge-This one always features a free kit from one of the A5D designers
*With a Twist-This one is either a template challenge with template provided or a scraplift type challenge.
*House Specialties-These challenges include 'recipe' type challenges or olive bar challenges that focus on specific types or styles of embellishments.
*Mixers-These rotate between photography based and journaling based challenges.
Thanks for hanging in there with me or at least bothering to scroll down this far (hehehe, yes, I've done that too), here are your gifties (yes, there are three!)
#1: I am the featured designer for the "On the House" challenge this month and here is the free kit I'm offering! You do not have to complete the challenge to receive the kit, just click here to go to the challenge thread and then click one more time when you get there to download it! :)

#2: I have also provided the template for the With a Twist challenge, it is one of my new tag book templates....this one is definitely my favorite, it includes the acrylic snowflake, all the shadows (optional), as well as the metal fastener. Click here to get it!
And, I scrapped a page using the snowflake tag book, my alphabet soup tags, and everything else is from a new kit that I will be releasing in a few weeks:
#3: I also have an add-on to the free kit.....a few papers and frames that coordinate. You can download them here:
Thanks for tuning in! Check back later this week as I have another freebie for you! :)
