Another Place and Time: Chocolate!

If your family history includes a propensity to chocolate addiction, have I got a digital scrapbook kit for you! Check this one out. It makes your mouth water just looking at it! You'll have a lot of fun creating great layouts with this kit. Like always, it's free for the taking. But don't forget to say "thank you" to the creator, Dnad. Here's the kit.

Well, there's nothing I can top that with ;-) So that's all for this week folks.

Digital Scrapbooking Carnival is Posted

The latest edition of the Digital Scrapbooking Carnival is posted. Head on over and check it out!

I especially liked, How To Create a Custom Brush From a Photo, by Kayla, the Legacy Lady. This one has endless possiblities... see if you can't imagine some for yourself!

Another Place and Time: Art Nouveau

Here's the post I meant to get out yesterday...

This week I have a delightful art nouveau kit for you. It's called Peacock Royale and you can find it on the Creative Victorian Designs blog. The kit comes in 6 parts so be sure to scroll down to get all the sections. Isn't it just beautiful?!!!

Netta has created this kit and shares it with us all for free. So be sure and leave her a comment of thanks. The generosity of talented designers like her is always appreciated. Thanks Netta!

Another Place and Time: Mega Heritage Kit

This week's Monday freebie is neither an ethnic nor an era kit. Instead, I have a heritage kit to share with you. This isn't just any old heritage kit. This is a mega kit! This kit has some Victorian elements, heritage elements, old roses, and great papers. If you have old photos that you want to create scrapbook pages with, this is the kit for you. You are sure to find something you'll like.

The kit is called "Heritage Rose" and it is featured on the Fishinmom blog. This particular kit was released in 12 segments. The last segment, with two papers, can be gotten here. After you download that segment be sure and scroll back through Fishinmom blog and get the other 11 segments. And while you're there don't forget to say thank you in the comments section. Here's a couple previews of a couple of the segments...


Enjoy!

Now go get creative with your genealogy!

Another Place and Time: France

Usually this is a Monday post but since yesterday was the Labor Day holiday I spent the day having fun at the Michigan State Fair instead of sitting at my computer desk. So please pardon my tardiness ;-)

This week I'd like to show you a vintage freebie with a French theme. Those of you with French ancestors will appreciate this kit. It has both a French and a vintage theme (1910s/1920s). This is Vieux Charme de la France by Kyra. She also has another freebie kit on the same blog post if you're in to... Innocence.

I hope you'll take advantage of this wonderful free kit for digital scrapbooking. When you visit Kyra's blog, be sure and tell her thanks for the kit!

Now go get creative with your genealogy!
