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

Kim's Soft Whispers and Girls Night Out

My friend, Kim Broedelet, has this gorgeous new kit available today. I got a sneak peek and LOVE the very appealing color palette. It's got a year-round feel to it, I think, and appreciate the fact that it's not all pastels. She calls it a vintage romance type of kit, which I think suits it. She's got it in her store at DSO now, so check it out!

I used her palette to make today's WA...hope you have fun using it!

Take care, and blessings on your day,

500th post

500 posts on this blog! I didn't think about that when I prepared today's word art. PROMISE! I was actually thinking of the many ways a day can become "my day in the sun," but of course you can use it the word art in the literal sense as well. :)

Thanks for the continued birthday wishes! What a nice surprise to come back to after a quick visit to my Mom's house the past couple of days.

Hope your day is very special!

Today is a Holiday

Well, I'm sure it is somewhere. I'm not in the mood to be in the office today, so I'm declaring it a holiday in one of my flights-of-fancy moments. It was helped along by today's freebie, which is something we often say in our family when we're on vacation.

DOWNLOAD I'd love to hear about it if you're able to use this in any way.

Hope your day goes well, and that everyone you love is safe and sound.
