El Morro National Monument

These are two layouts I did using the Browns.  We did this hike this past May when we drove to Phoenix for our grandson's high school graduation.  It was an awesome hike, but if you don't like heights (like me) it can be very scary.  There are places where you are on top, nothing to hold onto, and add to that the wind was blowing.  It is wide, so unless you go to the edge, there is really no danger of falling off - tell that to someone who doesn't like heights!  El Morro is in the Northern part of New Mexico and we stopped there on our way back home.

Painted Desert freebie

Oh my, no postings since the middle of April!!  I am a bad blogger.  Well, since then we drove to Phoenix and back, have had a drought in our area, and I have been working on a new kit called Painted Desert.  It sort of got away from me.  There are a total of 6 parts divided by colors, roughly.  The first one will be The Browns.  Hope you like it.  I have it uploaded on Dropbox.  This is the first time I have used that service so please let me know if there are any problems downloading it.

Spring Freebie

I started this mini back in March when we had warm temperatures and spring fever.  Hope you like it.  Comments are always appreciated.  Thank you!

Freebie Kit - Shamrocks

We had an absolutely beautiful day today with temps in the upper sixties.  It was positively balmy - a taste of spring which is just around the corner.  The only spoiler was a tornado watch this evening.  But, thank goodness, all remained calm.

I just finished a new kit which I called Shamrocks in honor of St. Patrick's Day, but the colors are perfect for spring layouts too.

Hope you like it and, as always, if you download, please leave a comment.  I do appreciate them.

Coopers Hawk

When looking out the kitchen window this afternoon, I spotted this fella.  He looked like a big blob until DH got the binoculars.  DH thought it was an owl but I thought it looked more like a hawk of some kind.  I ran for the camera which just had the normal lens and took several shots while DH got the zoom lens.  By the time we changed the lens I only got one shot before he flew off.  No time for the tripod so it isn't as clear as I would have liked and the morning coffee didn't help either.  lol  After he flew off we got the bird book out and discovered he was a Cooper's Hawk.

North Woods - Freebie

This little kit started out being part of Winter but I thought it needed to be alone.  I think you could use some of the pieces with Winter though.  Hope you like it.  And if you download, please leave a comment - I really do appreciate them.  Thank you.

Designing Again - Freebie

We have had an interesting winter so far, sort of a roller coaster - freezing one day and mild the next.  Snow has fallen several times but it doesn't stick around very long.  I'm not complaining though because I'm always ready for spring after the first snowfall.  It is just that it is so unusual because once it starts snowing, the ground stays white until spring.

I was playing in PSE 10 again and came up with a new kit called Winter.  I'm probably behind the times as there are a lot of Valentine kits coming out and spring catalogs arriving in the mail.  So hope it's not too late for Winter and hope you all like it.

If you download, please leave a comment.  They are so appreciated.  There are two files.
