Happy Friday!

Good morning and happy Friday everyone! Today I'm posting early and it's gonna be rather short for change:) Amaia's still vacationing but she only has one week left, they start on the 10th of September. Well, and all of September she only has school in the mornings and she comes home at 1 pm. On one hand I'm glad the school is starting since she'll be with her friends again and more entertained than at home. And I'll have a little more time to scrap:) On the other hand it's been great to have her home all day although I haven't had much time for anything else...My little man stays home until next year at least, wouldn't put him in a nursery for a world now. A lot of people here do it though. At around 9 months, more often than not earlier, most of the babies go to day care. I think it's quite sad...

I've also scrapped some more photos from our vacation. Apart from the LO Slide that I mentioned in my previous post (and now I have time to post it here:)) I've done another very simple one with our friend Humberto and his daughter Ines. I adore that photo!

Have I said it was going to be short?lol Ok, on to today's point. This time the freebie's story was the other way round. I didn't need anything for a layout as usual. I was working on the freebie and then I though it'd be nice to add a frame to show you how it looks like and then also a picture. And then I immediately thought of the perfect background for it. Added a few more things and I had a layout!

So, what's your guess? Right, today you're getting the ribbon wrap in 20 different colors and a frame (with DS) as a bonus! Here's the preview (not all colors shown):

I had to split it in two parts, since it was a bit more than 50 MB...If you like it, download it here:

Hello there!!! So excited, I have to share! My LO Slide has been picked as layout of the week at Scrapbookgraphics!!! Yay! Find the LO here and my 'interview' here.

I also want to thank you for all your lovely comments here and on 4shared. I appreciate them very much:)))

Oh, and last but not least, I have a tip for you - if you plan to make calendars for next year, my friend Ramalka has great templates for you. She's made them in different languages, how thoughtful is that? Find them here (scroll down to July 7th post).

Have a great week and stay tuned for Friday's freebie!

Stopping by to leave you a treat:)

Hello peeps! How are you doing? Can't believe it's again been two weeks since I posted the last time! Time flies...We've spent a wonderful vacation in Normandy! The weather was crappy, most of the days rained but the place had a climatised pool and that was saving the days:) Even if it was raining the kids could play there. We only did one trip while there because Amaia was sick and tired of the car after the long drive that we didn't want to punish her with yet more hours in the car seat. So we only did a one hour drive trip to Utah Beach which is known from the WWII (the U.S. forces landed there as a part of Operation Overlord). The rest of the time we were just hanging around the house. Well, house...a castle! We had a big backyard for the kids to play (when it wasn't raining or wet:)) Anyway, they were quite entertained indoors as well. There were 6 kids in total. We were lucky with the ages - a boy not even one year older than Amaia and another girl just over a year younger than her. Then a boy of 14 months that was playing with our Eneko of 10 months. And the youngest one was just 11 weeks. The older kids we competing in taking care of her:) And surprisingly the older kids didn't have any problems in understanding each other. Two of them spoke Spanish and Amaia picked up very quick. And since she was most of the time with the older boy whose father is Argentinian she ended up with a very cute accent:))) I've got SO many beautiful photos that I decided to make a full album for us and our friends. I've already made a cover page that shows the house:

And first two pages (3rd one almost finished) - one of Ines and her dad in the pool (I just adore that picture of her, don't you?!) and one of me and Eneko on the Utah Beach:

And I've also made a monthly report of my little man this week. He's learned quite a lot and during ONE week he's grown THREE teeth!

Credits here.

Been busy this week:) Although I didn't quite feel like doing anything because it's been raining for 5 days in a row and I haven't managed to get the kids out of the house at all!!! This afternoon it's finally started to pick up!

On to today's freebie! I've seen a lot of bugs lately:)

The set contains 10 different bugs-stamps. Download here. SORRY, THE LINK HAS BEEN REMOVED! Enjoy and don't forget to leave some love!:) Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend and see you soon and I promise I'll be a better blogger from now on (the vacation is over, lucky you, lol!)

I'm back!!! And I have a FREEBIE for you:-)

Hello my neglected bloggers:-) How are you doing? I'm sorry for not being in touch for so long. What happened? Well, following your advice I finally began enjoying my vacation, LOL! My hubby came over to Prague and we had a great time. Would you believe that I didn't touch my laptop for 4 days in a row??? I wouldn't but it happened!:-) And then if I opened it it was just to check my email and eventually upload a layout. Couldn't do much more due to the connection anyway. The neighbor used to be connected in very weird hours...What's new here. Hmmm, got a new camera, a Cannon S3IS and I'm VERY pleased with it. Our DD refreshed her Czech and enjoyed a lot of granny's attention so now she's a little demanding, lol. Our son started to crawl and stand up holding whatever he has the closest. And he's got first two teeth out (the second one actually came out today). I'm recovering from a bad fall off a horse (yes, again, lol! And - Brooke - I was thinking a lot of your son:-)). This time it was really bad, the helmet ended up totally broken (went head down and flipped due to the fact that the cute horse pulled the head all the way down and fired her hinders up) and my ribs almost followed. They are so so but the doc told me they can break any time, huh, so I should rest. (yeah, right, with 2 offsprings at home...lol). My eye surgery went perfectly fine, the day after I was already driving! But it took a while to get used to it. The first few days I was still looking for my glasses in the mornings, lol. It doesn't stop amazing me though... Anyway, I guess that's it from here, no more news. We've been back for a week now but I've been mostly catching up on my CT duties, lol. And I spent two evenings recovering data from my HD...I've made a few new LO's, you can check them in my gallery. Haven't done any of Prague yet although I've taken a LOT of pictures...over a thousand!

And I have a freebie for you! I know that it's Thursday but we're going to spend another week of vacation in France with some friends and will be leaving tomorrow late afternoon. So I figured out I'm not going to have time to post:-) So here it is - it's a sampler of my new store release:

It contains key ring tags in 10 different colors plus 3 paper strips. The whole set that is for sale in the store contains 18 colors and 8 paper strips plus two extra .png files with tag and ring separated so you can customize it to your liking. If you think you can use them you can download them here. I made those yesterday because I needed them for this layout (the usual, lol!). It's looking pretty good, couldn't find them anywhere:

Oooh, and my DH has just showed me that I made it LOTD at Divine Digital with this LO I posted yesterday! I really like it too:-):

Credits here.

Okay and now I'm really going to bed! Have a 10 hour drive tomorrow night! I won't have internet connection there so there will be no freebie next Friday:-( I'll make it up to you, I promise! Have a great week!

Guess what? FREEBIE!!!

Yep, guys, I've got a freebie for you today! I know it's not Friday but you've been patient enough, lol! And I've managed to upload it from MY computer! How come? Well, my hubby came for the weekend and he brought his laptop. After spending the whole Saturday afternoon in 3 different internet cafes trying to upload and download at the speed of 5 KB/sec we came home totally exhausted and frustrated. He turned his laptop on and we found out that he had an excellent connection to our neighbor's wi-fi (only at the edge of our kitchen window though at around 60 KB/sec)! So we spent a wonderful romantic evening downloading new stuff from Weeds&Wildflowers. I decided to scrap it as a b-day card for Gina Marie and Heidi because it was their birthday yesterday:

Journaling and credits here.

Then we found out that it was his software that could find and keep a nice connection, much better than the standard Windows one I have. So we installed it in my laptop and here I am, up and running. Depending only on the times when my neighbor is connected, hehe.

And I actually managed to upload before that (but it took me half an hour...!). Going through the photos I have here in Prague from the pre-digital era I found this one and it reminded me the whole story:

So on to the freebie! I've been playing around with brushes and filters and I made these frames for you (I love making frames!):


You can download these babies here. They are .psd files with templates so it's really easy to use them. Hope you like them! I'm not telling you anymore to leave comments because I know you do and I just LOVE them! While I was at it I made a few more stacks and put them up to my store:

So if you like the freebie ones you can still grab more there!:-) And I've also added a few more products to the store. Haven't managed to reload the whole July Grab Bag yet but it's coming soon! One of the items was a 10 paper pack in pastel tones, a little grungy:


So, following the trends, I added these two packs, that are 12 PP each- Bolds:

And Brights:

I've also made a collection out of them so you can get all three packs at a bargain price, basically you get a pack for free, isn't that great? Have I said I'm on vacation???? No, really, I'm enjoying my vacation. Going for long walks and trips with the kids and SHOPPING:-)

There'll be no freebie this Friday though because I'm gonna have my eyes operated tomorrow (myopia, just wanna be able to wear my shades all year without the hassle of putting my contacts, lol!) and I'll be just RESTING with my feet up on Friday:-)

Thanks for your patience and supportive comments, love ya guys!!!

Checking in:-)

Hey guys, checking in quickly. Thank you you so much for your comments, I know I should enjoy vacation but I can't help it, I feel totally cut off, lol:-) I managed to fix the laptop connection, the problem was in the settings....you're gonna laugh at me...the MOST STUPID thing on earth. The guy who set up our home connection made the DNS fixed so it didn't allow to look for other servers. So I could connect to the wi-fi, no problem but couldn't get anywhere. I thought of it before but what puzzled me was that I could get to my gmail and post on the blog. Anyway, I thought I'd now be able to download some new fantastic W&W stuff to work with but I can't manage. It always gives me a corrupted file (that's if it tries to download at all. The connection really sucks here). Right now I'm in an internet cafe, I was gonna upload a freebie for you, even bought a pen drive to try through a public computer but don't get anywhere. It's so frustrating! The only bright thing these days is that my hubby came to Prague for the weekend because we just couldn't survive one more week separated, lol. So I guess I'll just save it to my brand new pen drive and he'll upload it for me to 4 shared when he comes back home. And I'll just post the link for you then, can't leave you without a freebie for next three weeks, can I:-)
So stay tuned for news! Thank you!

So sorry:-(

Hey guys, I managed to get somebody's unsecured wireless connection here at home:-) It still doesn't let me go to any pages though. Don't know where the problem is. I can post but only if I go through Blogger's main dashboard and it doesn't let me go to the blog...I can log on to 4shared but it doesn't let me upload files. Going crazy here...if anybody can think of what might be the problem please advice but send it to my email, that is the only one I can get to. So sorry guys but unless a miracle happens, there will be no freebie tomorrow:-( I'll try next week, different places but can't promise anything...I hope you're having a good week. I'll try to keep you posted whenever I can!
