All Aboard the October Blog Train

It's here again; the best blog train in the digital scrapbook community! Over 100 of the industry's top designers come together to bring you a huge kit with the same color palette. This month again we all chose our own theme, I took a southwest approach to the soft and warm color palette with Mystic Canyon. I had so much fun with this that I created a whole Mystic Canyon Collection to coordinate with the blog train freebie. Scroll down to see previews.

The August Blog Train Has Arrived!

All aboard the August Blog Train. This month we have a designer's choice theme and a common color palette as always. The theme I went with was "Summer's End." Inspired by the last days of summer; warm lazy days spent soaking up the sun rays, trying to catch a cool breeze and lingering over lemonade. Wanting it to last forever but knowing colder days are right around the corner. Your free mini kit includes 3 papers, 4 elements and 1 piece of word art. I fell in love with this color palette and theme so created a coordinating collection as well! Now you have everything you need to scrap those special moments that make up the summers we dream of!

Your download is from YouSendIt.com. It is a secure bulk file service with no ads or waiting time and of coarse no worries about viruses! The link for the blog train free mini kit will expire on August 31, 2011.

Inspiration

And don't forget about the Watercolor Memories [Rewind] Collection. The Watercolor Memories Rewind Collection was loosely inspired by the song "The Way We Were" sung by Barbara Streisand. I thought it was such a wonderful way to describe the way our mind works with our memories. In the beginning they are vivid and fresh and as time goes on they fade to a softer, water colored image of the happier times.

The Watercolor Memories Rewind Collection includes: an Element Pak, a Paper Pak, a Specialty Paper Pak, a Quick Cluster Frame Pak, a Quick Paper Stack Pak, an Embellished Words Pak, a Word Frames Pak and an Alpha Pak.

Aye Matey, the April Blog Train is Here!

The April Blog Train is leaving the station...all aboard for an adventure on the high seas! This month's theme is Pirates Not Allowed and is a friendly reminder that sharing digital scrapbooking kits, whether free or paid for is an act of piracy.

You have arrived here from ViolaMoni.

Here is my contribution to this wonderful free blog train!

Secure download here, here or here.

You will be downloading from the secure bulk file service, YouSendIt. You do not need an account to access the files. Just click on the link and download. No waiting, ads or viruses to worry about. I subscribe to the service for your security and convenience.

It was so convenient that this month's blog train theme was pirates because I was just getting started on a pirate kit for my grandson's bedroom. Will loves pirates! His mom redecorated his room with a pirate theme and we wanted to use framed scrapbook pages to hang on the walls. So I have a coordinating collection in my DDR store with a slightly expanded palette. I added some browns and golds but it still coordinates back beautifully to the blog train palette.
