Time Flies

Cara over at Sweet Tomato Designs is doing a guest designer spot this week at DigiDesignResort. She is giving you a coupon code to use on her DDR store, including her newest kit!

The new kit is called "Time Flies." It would be perfect for those of you doing Project 365 this year. I especially like the stitched heart border.

I used the kit to do a double page layout about a nephew who is leaving to serve a mission for our church. I can't believe he is old enough to do that! He was, like, 10 when my husband and I got married. Wow. So, here is my spread.

And here is your freebie.

Whistle While You Work

Do you ever wonder if your kids are old enough for chores yet? My husband and I decided this past week that our two oldest are - and I made them each a chore chart using the newest release from Laurie's Scraps - "Whistle While You Work."

Their chrts are pretty simple. They each have six chores that they do everyday. Since they are only 5 and 3 they have very simple chores - things like brushing their teeth, helping feed the animals and picking up their toys. I plan on increasing their level of responsibility as they get older, and altering their charts accordingly. They get rewards for doing all their chores for a day, a week, or a month. So far our 3-year old is doing better than our 5-year old!
I had their charts printed at Costco on glossy stock, which works just like a dry erase board with dry erase markers - no need to laminate it. The font I used, which matches the kit's word art, is called Smiley Monster. It can be downloaded for free here.

I have made a template off my design for your freebie today, though there are two 8.5" x 11" templates included in the kit when you buy it. It is 30% off this week, BTW!

Ordinary Moments

Cara over at Sweet Tomato Designs just released her updated version of "Ordinary Moments."

She first released this kit during the SYTYCD contest at DigiScrap Addicts and I first got it there. She has added lots more to the new version though - papers, two alphas and more! This is a great kit for scrapping your everyday moments.
