Woohoo!!! It’s March! I always LOVE a fresh start… and I would really love to put February BEHIND me… thank-you-very-much! Too many visits to the doctor, too many projects ‘started’ and never finished off, and too many crazy things to handle!
Our WORST crazy thing in February was my husband getting in a car wreck! He gave me a call early one morning to let me know that he had totaled the car!!! After my heart started beating again… he gave me a few more details : he was FINE (thankfully) but both HIS car and the car in front of him were toast. We had experienced another icky morning of snow that day… and apparently the car right in front of my husband started skidding and spinning uncontrollably on some black ice– so Matt had to try to turn HIS car to avoid the one in front of him – and he ended up spinning too – and then after both cars had spun around into strange locations, Matt’s car grazed the side of the one in front of him and then Matt went off the road and into a ditch! Arrrrgh!!!! So now we have to go car shopping since we are down to only our van. (Which I need during the day to cart my kiddos around in… and today I am ‘carless’ since Matt took it to work. Ugh.)
On the PLUS side of things… I got to redeem my Valentine’s Day gift from my hubby this past Saturday ::: A 90 MINUTE MASSAGE!!! WOOHOO!!! Yes… major brownie points were earned by Matt!!! LOL! So at least I had one AMAZING February experience right?
Ooooh… I want to show you a layout that was RAK’ed to me by the SWEETHEART (and fantastic scrapper) Carin!!!
Here are the pages a bit closer up…
Didn’t she do an amazing job???!!! She took pictures I had of my oldest son and youngest daughter and put them into this glorious, fantasy world! The brave pirate rescuing the damsel in distress… LOL! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Carin used a new kit by Lorie at Scrapbook Graphics called Flying Dreams. Thank you again Carin!!! MWAH!!!! You’re a sweetheart!!!
In other scrapping news… March means NEW DSO CHALLENGES!!! And some NEW posting bonuses that you can get for FREE just for playing along with us! Hooray!
Click HERE to learn all about my new March Scraplift Challenge! Just for putting together a scrapbook page (which you do anyway right??? LOL!) as a part of our challenge, you will get this posting bonus I created for FREE!
And Kim B. had a new March Color Challenge as well… her color swatch this month brought ‘butterflies’ to my mind (hee hee hee…) so I put together a mini kit to share based on the butterfly!
You can download this kit with two links on box.net (thought I would try to stay away from 4shared for a bit…)
First link for papers: (link has expired)
Second link for elements: (link has expired)
Anyway… hope you like the little freebie, and I hope you pop on over to DSO to check out my new March Scraplift Challenge! Have a great week everybody!
***UPDATE***
Sorry about the issues with the bandwidth everybody! I didn’t know that the free box.net account only allows you to have 10 GB of bandwidth each MONTH!!!! So after about 700 downloads, my account has fizzled… LOL!
I’ve re-upped the entire thing all together into 4shared again… and I will suggest what other people have suggested if you want to use 4shared safely… don’t use IE when downloading… use Mozilla Firefox instead. It’s a free browser that is very fast and easy to install. Their security blocks the 4shared virus apparently. (That’s the word on the ‘street’ in any case…)
Here is the new download link for ya:
Sorry about that! What sites do you guys use to host your downloadable files??? I’d love to get some good suggestions!!!

Thanks so much Beth.
This is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I have not had a problem with 4shared. I get direct downloads with no popups but then I have 2 firewalls and anti virus that scans each file before I download
pretty, love the colors!
Lovely! Thank you!
FYI: Digital Candy is offering file hosting now.
Your kit is gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing.
