Feel-Good Freebie

If you've spent any time at all tracking my blog, you know how much I enjoy playing with my friend, KimB's Color Challenge at DSO. She's such a gifted designer and it's always a treat to get her posting bonus, but the real fun is in designing, too. [By the way, Kim's newest kit is all about a Candy Christmas, and is adorable. Check it out!]

I did something a little different this time. Kim let her husband choose the color palette, which made me think that these were "comfort colors" to him...which made me think about comfort food (doesn't everything?!!)...which made me think about things that appeal to me about October...which made me think about October's Creature Comforts. Make sense? It did to me. :)

Hope you can find this set of 12 word art phrases COMFORTABLE and inspiring to use for your layouts. Who knows...if enough of you send me YOUR "creature comfort" word-wishlist, I might be persuaded to make a second set. :)

Blessings on your day,
Melanie

There's gotta be a story ...

... about this piece from Sonel, in which she used a recent word art I made for this blog. Too funny, but sweet.

I KNOW there's a story behind this layout, shared by Denise R. It's a true romance ... with LOTS of traveling. :) Thanks so much, Denise. GREAT job!

Sonel also sent this brightly cheerful layout. I just love to see older children interacting with babies. It's sooooo sweet. Thanks so much, Sonel!!

And, Lynette had the PERFECT photo for this quotation. That baby appears to be patiently waiting for grandmother to take her nap until the next round of diapers-bottles-playtime-bathtime-exercising the lungs time. Such a sweet layout. Thanks very much, Lynette for sharing this with us.

I have to apologize for today's word art, especially after seeing all the very nice ways you've used it in the past. Today's is a bit messy -- but it made me smile (and I could relate!!!), so you just have to suffer through it.

Because there's a registered brand name in this, I can't upload it to 4Shared. To get it, just right-click on the image and save it.

As always, I enjoy hearing from you and seeing your work. I hope to catch up this week and make up the days I missed last week, so maybe you will find more treats? :)

All the best,

Melanie

Yum

Still not very chatty this morning, but obviously I have something on my mind!!!!

Since being diagnosed with diabetes a couple of years ago, I have frequent severe chocolate withdrawals -- don't you just hate that? There are some nice sugar-free substitutes, I know. I know. But it's just not the same.

If you like this word art, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I have a series of related phrases that could be scrapbooked but didn't want to do them if there wasn't an interest in them. I've set up a poll on the far right column, at the top, for your convenience in replying.

Happy Monday!

Blessings,
Melanie
