Freebie

I've been working on revamping some of my old kits and so I am going to have some freebies up periodically of some of the old pieces from the kits.  The first one I'm going to release are the quick pages I made with the kit Random Acts Of Love.  Here are what the pages look like:

 

Deco Pages has been closed for a while now and I am working on building my own store and hope to have it up and running by the end of April.  I hope you enjoy these.  If you use them and post them in any galleries, I would love to see what you do with them, please share.

New Journaling Challenge @ Deco-Pages.com

There's a new journaling challenge at Deco-Pages.com. With August being the time when most schools resume after the summer break, this month's theme is to document about the trepidations and anxieties of the first day of school....but not for the children, but about ourselves when we were in school. What a legacy to give to our children to show them that 1. we were young once and 2. that we experienced the same types of anxieties and emotions that they do now. We're not so different as they would believe we are. For this challenge I created a starter kit that is free for registered Deco-Pages members. Here is a preview of the kit:

Deco My Ad by Wildcat Designs:

Advertisers have known for years that to make money you need to grab someone’s attention, so they spend hours and lots of money creating very eye catching graphic layouts. Why not use those great ads as an inspiration for a LO. The challenge is simple - - -I give you and ad---this one your job is to take all or part of the ad and create your own version in a LO. You can crop, rotate, and eliminate what you don't care for. Use it as a base and just go with it. Can't wait to see all your versions. Once you post you LO in the Deco My Ad Gallery - - -come back and leave a link in this thread. At the end of the month those that complete the task will be rewarded with a minikit.
