My newer Christmas look.....


So yesterday i got the funnest surprise in my email in-box! My blog friend Janna sent me a surprise treat, a gift certificate for her digital designs, she designs at KB and Friends. I had been dying to go there and get some stuff but haven't had money or time when i did finally have funds to buy some cute goodies, and now i finally got photshop elements (before i couldn't rationalize buying digital scrap booking stuff if i wasn't using it for both my blog and scrapbooking. ) But Janna is so generous and sweet! So i got tons of super cute digital scrap booking Christmas paper kits and elements! she has the cutest freebie right now on her blog. (see the cute Santa card?) and she has way cute kits to go with it. most of my stuff on my page is Janna's! from the Santa's treat kits. and she is having a special right now buy the kit get her Santa's treats altered letters for half price. and some holly sprays from an older kit called Christmas Joy letters kit.

and the painting on my header was done by my mom. love it! it's our fave Santa, with Peyton and Liberty when they were 2 and 1 . I love , love it, and would totally do a fancier topper using my painting and elements from Janna's kit but so far , i am photoshop-tarded. i took that class with Ashley but can't remember Jack-crap today( or all week! i have been trying but no dice). i had to google myself on how to make the blinky work, and how to change the Header image.
so if you came by my blog when I was in the middle of changing out my template, I'm sure it was interesting. last night blogger was on the fritz again. nothing would load and it saved when i didn't want it too. so yeah hopefully I'll figure out photo shop soon. and i can't really do it today i have to pretend like it is all about Lance today! and i am so ADD that i can't make myself get through a freaking how to tutorial. pathetic! but i super love my cute new stuff from Janna!

thanks Janna! i always love your comments and your blog and your designs are to die for!! Once i figure out how to photo shop cute things it may be changing with more stuff. but until then i am am totally in the christmas spirit with my new Santa's treats!
