When Exactly is Dusk? And what happens "After Dusk" ?

Here we are already into November! Its hard to believe that the holidays are approaching and we are all getting busy. This months theme is "After Dusk" and as I reflected on what to add to the "train" I decided to make some word art for you! Most of us remember what life After Dusk was like, we just don't have that life anymore....ha ha! So my word art is a combination of whimsy and reflections! I hope you can find a use for some of them, if not all of them, in your layouts! A special "Thank-you" to Scrappy Shannon and Willow Raven for allowing me to use their kits to enhance my Word Art.

I also cant get Halloween off my mind I guess with having grandkids and getting photos of them in their cute costumes.... I thought this may be cute for one of those last minute photos of your cute little spooks! Hope someone can use it and its not too late! But I also made it WITHOUT the wordart for those who just want to get the QP. Both .png files are in the download! Click on the one WITH the word art for the download for both. For this part of my contribution I used Bits & Bobs collab kit.

Thanks to all who participated. Here's the Train...now, get on board and grab your goodies!

2 Cute Punkins!

These have to be the cutest "Punkins" in this Pumpkin Patch!  Well I guess it depends on who is doing the pickin' but for me, this Ole'  Gramsie thinks they are just about the sweetest things I have ever seen in any pumpkin patch.  I hope to get a little freebie posted later today, but until then.....BOO!

How Perfect is this?

As many of you have read on my blog, that today was a rough day for me.  I had to put my little 4 1/2 lb. bundle of joy to sleep.  Brighton was a great buddy and I will miss her terribly.  But, how perfect is this?   I made this template over  weeks ago, and planned to post it this week as I have all the other templates.  Now, I dont believe things happen by chance, but did you notice, the word art I chose for this month?  I was so blessed when I saw it!  And it was just a little hug from the Lord, to know that He knew I would need a little more grace today and so, as He is faithful, I bring you October's template.  And  as you see this, just remember that the Lord not only knew that I would need encouragement today, but that He, too, knows what your needs are today.  So, cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you! 1Peter5:7  Oh, and I have some GREAT news to share, just not yet, so today has been bittersweet for me!  I will let you know why I am so excited real soon!  His, Teri  Oh, yeah.  Thanks to all who left comments to me today.  :)

 

Today is a Hard Day...."I'm gonna miss this...

I'm gonna want this back.... "  You know the song, right?.  I am having to put my little Yorkie "Brighton" to sleep.  It was a  hard decision and  even though I know its the right thing to do, its a hard thing too.  She has been with me thru a lot and has been a great buddy to me.  So, for all you animal lovers, say a little prayer for me.  Its going be a tough day.  I will post my calendar template later on this afternoon for all of you who are anxiously awaiting it.

This will get you.... Hook, Line and "Stinker" plus 2 more freebies

Here are my newest layouts from Crafty Scraps.  I love the outdoor things she does!  This one, her fishing kit just was perfect for some photos I had of my husband and my grandson having a great time, digging for worms, and catching perch in the Medina river.  They had a great time and I loved the layout, after of course I had to change the poster to read something fmore appropriate for the occasion!  LOL.... Now, I am not saying who the "stinker" is!  But I think it could fit either one!  Hope you enjoy!  His, Teri

 

 

 

Click on preview to go to the Crafty Scraps Store!

And this is another layout that I made using her Camping kit.  I love the rustic outdoors feel of this great kit.  You can find the kit at her store and if you want the QP, you know what you gotta do, right?  Click it!

I Didn't Want to Say Goodbye to September......the calendar remember?

Well I have to admit it!  I am getting behind!  Don't worry, I have all the templates made and ready to share, I just havent gotten last months layout done myself!  And now, Its time to share September's and I dont have a preview to share of it either............can some one say "Bad Blogger" Teri?  But, all is not lost.  I will share my inspiration for this layout.  It is my other layout in my top 3 all time ever.  

Want a Conundrum? Shabby Elegance!

This is a new kit from lbCreations called Shabby Elegance.  I liked the color choice and how she was able to incorporate a little shabby with the chic...so to speak.  On the first QP I thought of the word "Simple" or "Simply" right off the beginning so I went with "Simply..." because, number one, I love the alpha's that came with the kit and #2, I felt that you can add what ever message underneath the word simply.  In my case, I added memories....These were some pics of my family as I remember them growing up and I am in the process of scanning them, so they were fresh on my mind.

In the second layout, I wanted to use a little more Shabby look and I loved the glittered swirls.  I like the long frame that can be used to isolate just part of a picture to really showcase your photo.  Hope you can use these for something!  See how a kit can make 2 completely different pages?   Now, run on over to check out Babette's things  at http://lbcreations.blogspot.com/ or visit her at http://www.divinedigital.com/ to see all her great kits.
