It has been a long while since I posted anything on my blog. I wanted to let people know that Crafty Digital Designs site is no longer running. It cost too much to run and we were not getting enough sales to pay for the site. I am sorry about that but will see about posting things on here as I get them made. I really love doing pages and designs and will continue to post at least once a month over the coming year with odds and ends and an occasional freebie. And I might just post a few thoughts as I go. :o)

New Tool kit and freebie

My daughter and I have been talking about doing a building kit because the men in our family like to build things or tear things apart. So I started to put together some ideas for the men in our family. Then I realized that we build so much more than things, my husband is building relationships, building trust, building bonds, and most of all building memories that his children and grandchildren will always remember. So I kept that in mind as I created a fun tool kit to represent all the ways my husband builds memories in our family. Here is a page I created using this kit:

For a limited time, we are offering this Tool Time quick page for free.

You can download it at: http://www.craftydigitaldesigns.com/products/freebies/

Be sure to go to the products page and see all the wonderful elements and papers that come with this kit. I would love comments and feedback as I want to continue to create and improve the kits and quickpages that I create for you.

Mother's Day coming up

I decided to make a page for Mother's Day with my new Mother's Day kit. Kind of appropriate, don't you think? I wouldn't use the Father's Day kit for Mother's Day, I guess. haha Sooo, I thought who have been the most important mother's in my life. I had to include my grandmothers. I miss them around in my life as they were wonderful grandmothers. Then my own mother and my mother-in-law who taught me how to bake bread and be a good mother to my children.

At the bottom is me and my children....many years ago. My daughters are all mothers now and they are so much better mothers than I was. I am so pleased with the way they raise their children. I call this page generations of mothers because all the females in the picture either were mothers (when they were alive) or are currently mothers.

If you are interested in creating your own Mother's Day pages, go to CraftyDigitalDesigns.com and check out the new Mother's Day kit. I would love for you to enter the challenge also and get a chance to win $10.00 in products. I would also love to see what you come up with using the papers and elements in the Mothers Day kit. I am new to this website world and would love to see people get involved and create things using all the kits. It is always amazing to me to see all the wonderful ideas everyone has.

LDS Blog Train Freebie

It is time for another LDS blog train freebie and I am very happy to contribute my part! I love doing the lds blog trains because there are so many great ideas collectively and it is fun to see everything everyone has done to contribute. Remember that everything is for personal use only.

This is funny, or not so funny. For the past 4 years, I have been putting digital scrapbooking freebies into my blog and Digifree/CraftCrave has been picking it up. Now that I have a store and am still trying to give away digital scrapbooking freebies, Digifree has not picked it up. So again, I have a digital scrapbook freebie, no purchase necessary for anyone that wants to come and pick it up at http://www.craftydigitaldesigns.com/products/freebie/ . Here is the preview:

Click on the link below to download the freebie:

Http://www.craftydigitaldesigns.com/products/freebies/

The nice thing is that it is a direct download and you don't have to wait for 4shared or mediafire to let you in. :o)

My daughter and I have been creating all the products that we show and everythign is G-rated so that our children and my grandchildren can view it and use it. I do hope you find this and download the freebie and enjoy it.

Thanks,

Cathy

New Blog train

Hi all! It has been awhile since I have been around. I have been working on setting up a new website and I was hoping to have it up and running by now, but alas, things have gone slower than I have planned. My new website is CraftyDigitalDesigns.com and we should be up and running by the end of March. Lots of fun things are coming! I will let you know as soon as it is up.

For now, I have created a kit for the new LDS blogtrain. It is based on President Hinckley's 6 Be's; Be Clean, Be Grateful, Be Humble, Be Smart, Be True, Be Prayful. It has been fun and I have enjoyed making it. I hope you enjoy today's freebie. Here is my part:

Family Home Evening Blog train Freebie

This month I am participating in the LDS blogtrain with a Family Home Evening kit. I was sorry that I didn't win a spot in the Faith Sisters Design group, but it is ok because God had other plans for me.


Anyway, I had fun creating this kit of family home evening charts and papers and fun things. I learned to create ribbons so that was fun too. I hope you enjoy it also. Remember that this kit is for personal use only.

Pretty in Pink

Melody was kind enough to send me pictures of Ellie so that I could make a Pink page for her. So I made a pink flowered background, a pink flowered and eyelet frame and a bow to match. Of course nothing is quite as cute as Ellie. Now if my other kids will send me current pictures of their cuties, I will make pages for them too. :o)
