Freebie- QPages

Click on image to get zipped download file: There is something about Lavendars and Greys that speak Wedding and Easter to me.

I love challenges and using page maps or templates.. tho I don't always have matching photos for placement, I figure there are alot of peeps who do. So I'll share my creations with you. The inspiration comes from www.scrapadilly.com/forum challenges . There wasn't a credit name or link for the sketches, so I didn't grab it.. but if you know the creator of these sketches, please let me know.
Off to seek and find other inspiration for a Holiday Theme.. Have a fun day and share with others. Granny

Personal & designing

I am such a bad blogger .. lately it's been taking care of health issues. Everytime the Doc decreases my thyroid meds, the rest of my body goes into "what the Hey" adjustments. This time is no exception.. so til I get back that spark of energy, I've been taking care of ME..

Just about ready to offer up a place for all the Scrapbooking Digital Designers to sell their creations without having to meet a bunch of requirements..

A fee of $5.00 a month will be charged for the service. I will assist you in advertising and getting your Name Out There!!

color palette

Remember yesterdays photo... here is the color palette I got from just that one Snap. That dark Green comes up looking like Black.. I'll get the mini kit together and have it as a freebie soon. A simple spring theme. I just wore out before putting together the preview. Don't wanna have a preview without you getting the kit, that is just too much teasing and unfair. So Til tomorrow, I'll leave ya hanging with trying this color palette.. Yup, you can copy and use any of my color palettes..just let 'em know ya got inspiration from the Granny!!

I promise not to spend my whole day outside, again. I mean with temps in the 70's You didn't think I could sit here with the "beast" and create?? Summer is coming and Spring is rearing it's wonderous head.. bulbs are peeking thru the ground. Patio's have to be cleaned and ready for another season of gossipping and partys. Or just to sit a spell and let the sun warm up the innerds. I take great pleasure in a sit down after fixing the evening meal and just let my mind wander where it will. And my favorite sitting place is the front patio with a big ol glass of Ice Tea!!

Fair Weather


Nothing like some warm temps and sunshine to distract this ol Lady.. draws me outside and gets me thinking about flowers, gardening and nature. Like most of you out there, I can think of all these things but draw a blank when it comes to a color palette for a Spring Theme Kit.


So I did a cyber walk for inspirations.. just got more confused and had to put it on a back burner. Like planting a seed, leaving it to germinate and grow. I look mainly to fabrics for color combos or palettes.. Often a pleasing photo will grab my eye and I start dissecting it's colors. Like the above photo taken by My DS this past year when he was in Wisconsin. But that doesn't always mean a kit will come from it. So I save my "palettes" and come back to them later.



Note that pop of Yellow!!

I'll be trying to focus and get a Spring/Summery Themed kit put together for all you Nature Lovers..

Personal Note:
Sending hugs and prayers out to Nita and Hubby.. He had a bad round with Ulcers.. gave us all a scare with pain and problems breathing. Rushed to the hospital, but is now home.

To DD#1: hope your sunburn is better. TAke care of that ankle, so you can do next month's marathon. And that Your Job is safe from all the cuts due to the downturned economy.

Sending love to all my cyber friends _ hope to catch up with you soon. Granny

My Morning

Busy creating a bunch of kits and elements to stock my store: http://www.digigranny.com/

I love Americana Stuff, and took these colors from a wall hanging I have. Hope you come and visit my store when we get it up and running.. No Date just yet. Gotta talk to that SiteBuilder tomorrow and see when it will be open for business. The nice thing about having someone else setting up a cyber store is that I'm free to CREATe to my Hearts content.






I have 8 kits ready and over 10 smaller packets done. This one happens to be one of my favs and a follow up mini kit is working out great with matching papers/elements.. More along the lines of Country Folk.
My Inspiration _wooden wall hanger.
So til then, I'm taking a break from the "beast" and working on a quilting project. This just might call for another kit about Quilts!!
Off to grab some breakfast then into my sewing room for a bit of ME TIME. Granny
