Corduroy Overlay Freebie

I made some corduroy overlays for a digiscrap project I'm working on. I thought I'd share them. There are two files depending on whether you prefer a small grain or a large one. Click on the preview to download.

Freebie "Let It Snow" Wordart

I recently finished my first decent digiscrap kit called "Let It Snow". I'm giving away the wordart for free today. Click on the picture to download. The green background is for perspective only. The file is a png. Thanks for supporting my first giveaway. Hopefully there will be more to come.

What do you think?

I found this site through my friend's mom's blog called thecutestblogontheblock.com. I thought I'd give creating my own background a try. I used a kit called Limeaide by Summer Driggs. What do you think of the new background?

Monarchs!

Wednesday evening Jack and I were playing in the backyard. I looked over at my butterfly garden and saw this...

Monarch butterflies were everywhere. They usually come around the first of October when my frostweed blooms. They can't get enough of the stuff. I took some video, but it was dusk and the footage wasn't good. I haven't had any success with the Monarchs laying eggs in the garden, but I really enjoy them stopping by for a drink. :)

Here's a scrapbook page I made for my good friend. Isn't the picture too cute?

Dallas World Aquarium

Here is my latest digiscrap page. I created it using a template this time. I actually made the background paper and the little fish myself in GIMP. I would love to start creating my own digiscrap kits. I like using the templates b/c they're faster, but I do feel like I've lost a little creative freedom.

Ouch!

I was weeding my butterfly garden, and, boom, out of nowhere a wasp stung me through my glove! The good news is I think my immunity to the suckers is building b/c my reaction is minimal-just some swelling and throbbing. I know some people whose whole arm would swell. I love butterfly gardening, but the same plants that attract butterflies attract every stinging insect on this planet. And since you're supposed to protect the caterpillars, pesticides are out of the question. Wasp and yellow jackets love to eat my baby caterpillars too. Darn you wasps and yellow jackets!
