I'm in a designers contest, so I have some freebies for you @ The Studio. Here is the Link to snag the papers that you see pictured above!!
I just recently created 30 elements, many of them aren't shown in the above Preview, just a few of my favorite ones, & mind you I couldn't fit them all on the page. You will find the link to the Element Freebies located @ The Studio, via this Link.

It appears that our next challenge is on Alpha's: so stay tuned, for the results & the freebie of the next challenge. I should be posting it by next Thursday/Friday!!

Birthday-N-Anniversary Celebration

I told my husband that I'd like to go dutch with some friends of ours and so he made contact with them and meet them @ Sweet Tomatoes for lunch, since @ the time, I didn't have their email address. Apparently almost a year had gone by, and it only seemed like 6 months. We all just got so busy with our own lives, that time flew by so fast. Life is like that sometimes, hard enough getting together with family, who live farther away, let alone getting together with people who only life about 85 miles away (one way). After lunch I took their pictures, outside the restaurant and then they invited us to hang out @ their home and chat. We all talked and I took a bunch of pictures of them and their dogs and this is just layout, was one way of applying most of the pictures to the scrap page. We celebrated my Birthday last Saturday and today is my actual birthday, yes: I'm another year older and soon (within 7 days from now): my husband will be another day older. We also got married 14 years ago, on both our Birthdays, 7 days apart. We got married on My Birthday 3-28-97 @ and P.M., in Rough-N-Ready, California (the day was Rough and we were Ready) and got married on Shawn's Birthday in Chester, Vermont on 4-4-97 @ 7 A.M. As we believe it to be a blessing from the Lord. For those who do not know me very well: I'm the blond in the picture & my husband is standing next to me & our dog is a white, Schnauzer, & is part Westy & acts like a Whipit & is all Mut.


I grew up in area's where is usually snowed. If it wasn't Raining on my Birthday, it was usually snowing. Never good weather. Well, my husband & I live were we are lucky to get one inch of snow, & then it melts. Though rain is good & we get it, we usually get it during another time, those in Arizona know it by what is called the Monsoon season. It is a season in the summer where we get lots of rain, & sometimes it floods the roads & we have to stay overnight somewhere, 'cause the roads are flooded out. People are not allowed to pass through the flooded roads, 'cause then it costs money & the police can give you a ticket, it can also be risky business trying to get through/pass through those flooded roads. It is a time when we get most of our rain.

Brauner is a German name and in English it means Brown. Yep, that was my maiden name and I had a pen pal in grade school with the same name, only hers was Cynthia Brown. Trying to find her is nearly impossible, as her name is more common then mine, so I hope and Pray she finds me.


With the color brown in the digital scrap kit, I thought it was appropriate to name it: Brauner Heritage.


Pictured here is my dad with his parents. They are in the frame in the preview (he is the one standing next to his mom) and the picture frame inside this wonderful kit is open and ready for you to add your family pictures. The centered frame was repainted & given special effects, to make it look like it does. I like the colors in it, much better then in the original frame.


The picture frame with my grandparents in it, is one that I have @ home here. My mother is pictured in one very similar to it, somewhere in our home.


I believe round frames are quiet common, back in those days. So, I added one in: that I made.

I was an Air Force Brat: born in Dover Delaware & then I moved to Scotland when I was real young, and then moved back to the states and lived in: Sacramento, California and then Grizzly Flats, Ca., and in various area's of San Diego, Ca., and in Grass Valley, Ca. We also lived in Michigan in the U.P.: in Marquette/Harvey area.

I’m a homemaker, to my wonderful husband who is a trucker by trade, he no longer drives O.T.R. He is Head of Transportation and Drives a School Bus. My husband and I love to travel and have been to various countries and to various states. We’ve been to Europe: Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Poland. We’ve been to Great Britain: London and Scotland. We’ve also been to Asia: South Korea.


I’m creative @ most things that I set my mind and hands to do: I can look @ most things and imitate it, in regards to purses and I have a creative mind with idea’s in regards to making backpacks and I have a new sewing machine and have learned to love to sew. I enjoy Nouveau Art and love to make Jewelry, do you see the above Necklace hanging in the tree? I enjoy Digital Scrap, as well as scrap by hand and card making and crocheting (I crochet my own bathing suits with my own patterns in my head).


I have a wonderful testimonial on how the Lord put my husband and I together, if anyone wants to hear it. Just let me know!!


That's a wrap!!

The stained Glass flower was a great center piece and many people liked it, so I redid the layers on it and applied the appropriate colors to it. I made some spring flowers, to go with the frames, some of it comes with the flowered frames and some of them come separate. Enjoy!!
