We have come up with an awesome name! The Sassy Southern Scrappers! SSS for short! She's from Kentucky and I am in TN so we are on the same time zone! Very important! LOL!

Reader Layout

I came across this layout this morning. It is truly amazing! She used my chain frame from "Mean Gene" and combined it with softer elements to make this wonderful layout. If you get a chance, head over and see it. Make sure you leave her some "love"! LINK

I have been busy working real hard on some new designs. I have about 5 more kits almost ready! Wooohoooo! Stay tuned!

Ooooohhhhh, How Cute!


Isn't this one of the sweetest babies you have every seen!!! Look at those big eyes! This is Angel's daughter from Angels Digi Scraps. She did this layout for a challenge and used my kit, Wings Of Hope! Thanks so much for sharing this! She actually sent this to me last night after I emailed her whining about loosing my EHD and it made me smile! I just got this EHD about a month ago and had about 30 gigs of goodies on it! For some reason it quit working. The bad thing is that all of my family photos since Christmas were on there (over 500) and ALL of my designs! Luckily I have the 4shared account that I can go download those off of, but I just finished TWO kits and was almost done with another that I had not uploaded to 4shared yet! I am so hoping that Seagate can retrieve the info! I purchased this brand because I have heard lots of good things about them. But I know it's my fault, I had not backed anything up yet. I was still in the process of putting things on it! I have learned my lesson! From now on all of my designs go on DVD!!!!
Please learn from my lesson and BACK UP YOUR STUFF!!!!

So, I am off to start some designs over! A new freebie is in the works, so check back!

Just In Time for Father's Day....Fishing With Bobbie


This is just in time for Father's Day! This is my Step-Dad, Ernie. When my daughter, Kaime, was little she tried to call him "Poppie" and it came out "Bobbie". We have all called him "Bobbie" since that day! He is a fishing man and LOVES to fish! He even has the stuffed fish on the wall!

I hope that someone will be able to use this to make some layouts of your "special" men in your lives!

Thanks for the continued support. I am sorry it took so long to get another kit out. My youngest, Naome 2yr., has had a trying week. First stitches in her foot, 104.6 temp and diagnosis of Pyelonephritis (basically bad kidney infections), yuck, all in 3 days! She has been one sick little girl. Once she is well, she will go into Children's hospital here for kidney testing. Please keep us/her in your prayers.

Have a good one!

Dixie Lee Layout


I've been trying to catch up on my layouts today. I have been busy designing kits and forgot why I design in the first place, LOL! So, here's the layout I did for my GoGo (Dixie). When I was young she would drive sooooo slow and my cousin yelled, "Go Granny Go", thus GoGo and it has stuck after all these years! If you missed the kit, scroll on down and download it for FREE! Enjoy!

Wings Of Hope Layout

Here is the layout I did for this kit. I used a pic of my Mom & I on Mother's day this year. We both have auto-immune diseases and deal with them daily. It's nice having someone that can relate to your problems, I just wish we didn't have to deal with Lupus & Fibromyalgia. Thanks for all of the lovely & encouraging comments. They made my day!

Mean Gene Layout

This is my layout using my "Mean Gene" kit. This is my husband, Gene, playing with his new "addiction". He loves his cars, just wish they would stay in ONE piece! If you like the kit scroll down, it's FREE! If you like the layout template it was courtesy of Princess Pamela. Head on over to her blog, she has some awesome templates for FREE! Tell her I sent you!
