CT Member Intro, Layouts...and a Freebie!

At last, the weekend is here! It's been a long, busy week and I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning!

Before I start telling you the news...what do you think of the revamped blog? I wanted a change from the bright pink I had before. This color scheme is easier on the eye and I'd been wanting to make a new blog header for a while now.....and I still managed to keep a tiny bit of pink in there! I hope you all agree that it's a change for the better! If you look at the sidebar you'll see that I've added links to my CT member galleries on Scrapbookflair, so I hope you'll take the opportunity to visit each one.

That brings me very neatly onto the first subject for today...an intro to our newest CT member - Judy Lee. She lives in Montana with her fiance, is mom to three, mother-in-law to one and grandma ("Nina") to 3 (plus one angel grandbaby). Not only does Judy-Lee enjoy digital scrapping, she is an avid paper scrapper, photographer and loves to make candy wrappers and gift cans. Crafty lady! I was introduced to Judy-Lee by another CT member - thank you Clara Sue - and I'm very happy to welcome her onto the team! Here's a pic of Judy-Lee....and yes, she is young to be a grandma...her first grandchild was born when she was 34!!!

Here's Judy-Lee's first contribution to the CT layouts. She used the "Mother's Day" kit for this one, which shows her with her mom...thanks Judy-Lee!!

While I'm on the subject of the CT, I'd like to share with you a few layouts done by three of the other members. I'm really spoiled for choice as to which ones to show you!! This first one is by Brenda and she used the "Gone Fishin'" kit on this lovely layout.....Brenda always uses my kits in ways I wouldn't have come up and for that I applaud her! I know she will always make my kits look good!!!! Thanks Brenda!

This next one is by Clara Sue, using the "Mountain Breeze" kit. This is a very special photo to Clara Sue, which shows her mom (who has been very sick) feeding her great-grandson, Conner. A precious photo for sure!

This layout from Judy is of one of her favorite models....her granddaughter! All three of her grandchildren are adorable and extremely photogenic!!! Judy is a very talented photographer and always has just the right photo to scrap. I am always amazed at her beautiful layouts....thanks Judy!!! The kit used here is the new one "Oh Baby!" (see previous post for details).

I don't want to overload you with too many layouts tonight, so I'll post more CT pages this weekend. I hope you enjoyed seeing these ones as much as I did!

Well, I promised you a Freebie and here it is. Regular readers will know that whenever I do a CT member intro I like to give away a freebie and I was kind of stuck as to what I should do this time....so, I made up a mystery "goodie bag" of several items which you should be able to use. I hope you enjoy this little freebie, which you can get here. Please remember to leave a little comment while you're downloading it...comments are always very much welcome and appreciated!

I'm just putting the finishing touches to another new kt - hope to have it released this weekend, so do come back to check for that (and the freebie from it).

Have a great weekend!
