Wow, the blossoms have been busy...

We have been so busy, and that is probably because Boo has been really busy whipping up some more gorgeous kits for you all!  We have seriously been a bunch of scrappin' nuts around here...lol
I am going to start with the most recent and work my way back, just in case you all missed some of these gorgeous beauties!

This week's newest kit is called "Cherry Road" and it is gorgeous and dreamy!

And there are more if you go here to see the rest of the set!

Here are some pages that the Blossoms came up with:

Renee made this great page,

Bia made this adorable page,

These two were made by me.

So many great looks from this kit! 

Check out Boo's Blog for more fun too! There are some great matching freebies over there!

There is also a great Collab kit at The Studio called "Nameless One" that Boo participated in:

And of course we had the awesome pleasure of scrapping with:

This one was made by Jean Ann, looks like it perfectly matched the wedding

Another one by Jean Ann!  . 

This last one was scrapped by me using one of the wonderful quick pages!

Don't forget to check around the forums and galleries at The Studio for the great challenges and freebies!

Hugs,

Claudette {Booland Blossom}

Time for a new look!

I decided that I didn't have enough to do today, with the holiday's fast approaching...lol SO I decided to make-over the blog a bit...I used BoolandDeisgns Gold Rush Kit for the blog goodies...Here is the kit if you are interested in it:

You can find them all here.

Hope you all like the new look and the great kit from Boo!

I will show you some layouts another day when Blogger is being a kinder, gentler, object. I can tell you this they are very interesting for sure.

So from Boo and Her Blossoms have a great day!

Lois

Quicky update on BOO

Well, let me tell you BOO is a very BUSY Lady and is keeping the Blossoms busy also.

She is working our fingers to the bone, helping get her newest projects off the ground. What are they, you might ask? Well I am not sure I can tell you but it has to do with some new product venues. I cannot tell you where YET but I can tell you that BoolandDesigns store is still going strong and she really does like for everyone to visit her there.

I know she has a few new kits coming out, have seen a couple of them and they are YUMMY, but then her kits always are, aren't they? You can expect some interesting new stores in her future for sure. Also I am almost positive there will be new Freebies.

Ok I had better go before I SPILL to many of the Beans...LOL Will try to keep everyone updated on what is going on.

Have a great Day from the Boo and her Blossoms,
Lois

Hold onto your HATS!!!! BOO IS BACK!!!!

Well she is almost totally back, has to get the PS to working again, but she just popped in and sent a couple of gifts for all of you faithfull readers (I know I should have been better about keeping everyone in the loop). Let's see which should I do first, the HUGE sale ad or the freebie?

Oh let's get the SALE out of the way first and BOY is it ever a great sale. If you ever wanted to stock up on BooLand Designs kits, now is the time to do it. Just look at this ad....... Now that you have seen the ad, you just need to rush over to Booland Designs' store to BUY.....BUY and buy somemore...LOL

and as a gift to the Faithful... she has this really cute FREEBIE on her blog

Be sure to let her know just how much she was missed, not only by the Blossoms but by you, the Scrapping Community....

So with a Happy Heart, The Boo's Blossoms and myself, wish you all a great St. Patty's Day.

Lois

Another Mini Kit freebie

Here is the Posting bonus from the October Font Challenge at Booland Designs Challenge blog. DUE to a big mix up on our part and a Gallery that just didn't work correctly, we really didn't get to post the layouts that were submitted, sooooooo we thought we would just share the Posting Bonus with everyone.

Click on the preview or HERE to download. In case it asks for a password it is octfont

We still have a few more files that due to the names we are not sure what they are but we are working on that. Also there should be some new kits soon at SAS. They are trying to get the remaining Birthstone collection in the store. As soon as that happens I will let you all know.

From Lois and the rest of the Blossoms Have a good DAY!

Dec SAS Color Challenge PB

That kit WILL be posted and yes I do have it, still trying to figure out exactly how to give it out. It is our plan to give all the PB's that Boo had provided to us for both SAS and BooLand Designs. Sometimes the file we get is not named the same as the name on the preview and we are having to look though MANY folders to find the right one. That is why the DSO Dec CC kit has now been posted both on Boo's blog and on the Blossom's blog, but better posted twice than not at all.

This has been a little confusing to the Blossoms, since we have no way to 'talk' to Boo, to know what her plans are fot the PBs. I do know she would want her fans to have have whatever is due them and we will try our hardest to get them online, but not all at once. I also think there will be some of the older PBs that I will post for those newer visitors to collect. AS you all know Boo does not know how to make a mini-kit so they would be a good addition to a scrappers Stash...LOL

Hey, but I didn't manage to mess up the links like I usually do....LOL

Check back in a couple of days and I will try to have the SAS Dec CC PB online. RIght now I have to go help my hubby with his eye that he just had surgery on.

Lois

Gift from Boo herself, via me...LOL

I was looking though the kits we had gotten from Boo before the BIG CRASH and found her entry for KimB's Dec Color Challenge at DSO, which had never gotten posted to my knowledge. As you all know she has faithfully made a kit for that challenge since way back before she actually started selling her designs. So with KimB's permission I am posting it here as a FREEBIE from Boo. Who knows I just might find more of them hidden away on my External Hard Drive.

Ok so Christmas is over for 2008 but I would think you could use this for many different seasons.

The DOWNLOAD links are HERE and HERE if there is a password it is boo

I have certainly enjoyed reading all the comments that have been posted and I tell you for sure, they will bring a tear to Boo's eye once she is back online and can read them. Thank you all so much for caring about our Bosslady, Boo.

From Lois and the Rest of the Blossoms, ENJOY!!!

UPDATE on Booland Designs and Boo herself

I know everyone has been wondering what is going on with Booland Designs, so here is what I know.

Boo's computer crashed big time and she doesn't have the funds to replace it right at this time. Along with that problem she is also have serious personal problems, and might be out of action for as much as 4 months. The store will remain open, with hopefully some new kits added from time to time IF and that is a BIG IF, she manages to get another computer sooner than she thinks she will be able to do it.

Please keep her in your prayers and do check with us from time to time for some freebies made by Boo's Blossoms. All we ask is remember Booland Designs and support her as much as possible and visit her store as often as you can.

To start off the freebies here is a Quick page I made for the newsletter using her kit Celestial

With our hopeful heart for Boo and her Problems,

Lois and the Blossoms

Happy Past and Future Holidays...LOL

I must be the World's Worst Blogger, and that will be my New Year's Resolution to remember to blog at least once a week on this blog and my personal one also.

There have been so many ups and downs at Booland Designs, computers dying, gallery and forum rolling over and playing dead, but Boo and Her Blossoms have continued to create. Between computer failures Boo has created MANY new kits for the month of December. Today I want to highlight one of them, 'Santa's On His Way' and you can find it at SAS and in the Booland Designs Store.

Isn't it a Cutie? I liked it so much I have used it twice already and Christmas isn't even here yet....LOL

The first layout is called Traditions and was for one of ChrissyW's template challenges. Of course it is of my Family

The second is All Mallory, showing off his Christmas Photos and is called Mallory, Christmas 2008. Along with Boo's Kit I used Andrea Gold's Free template 316. Everything on the layout is made using only the papers from the kit.

I'll be back later with some more previews of the new kits and layouts made by other Blossoms. Also you should make sure to check Boo's Blog for her new releases. By the way, there is a special blog for the Booland Challenges and you can find it here. Boo even set up a place where everyone can send their entries since our Gallery is having serious problems and has been taken down. You can pick up the Color Challenge kit there and you can also grab the font for the font challenge.

Well, I guess I had better close before I have to start making chapters of the post. So until next time, (and I promise it will be soon), Happy Scrapping from Boo and Her Blossoms.

Lois

PS!!!!!!!!!! Boo took part in both the CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD and the SAS CHRISTMAS CAROL trains. There certainly is a lot of beautiful work on both of those Trains.

Changes in BooLand

This come straight from the BooLand News!!!!!!

(if you haven't subscribed yet, you really should, you never know what nice surprises you will find there. You can subscribe on Boo's Blog)

We have had many problems with our gallery, from not being able to access some of the albums, to confusion with how to upload and find layouts. Boo has decided to change to a more user-friendly gallery layout, but the improvements come with a price. In order to switch to the new gallery, we will have to delete the old one, and all the layouts that have already been uploaded will be lost. We have tried to find a way around this, with no luck. We sincerely apologize for any inconvience and are certain that the new gallery will be worth the trouble of switching. Keep watch on Boo's blog for updates on the progress of our "construction", and for the time being do not upload any new layouts to the gallery. The new gallery should be up and running this week.

Another change is that once the new gallery is online, we will also have a forum! We will have all or challenges posted there, and lots of other fun stuff!

Remember the APPLE ORCHARD DAD is still going on, I know you will not want to miss a part of it. I promise another goodie later in the week and I'll bet there are other things lurking around, just waiting to pop up for you all.

Till then, Happy Scrapping from Boo and her Blossoms,

Lois

Apple Orchard Extra Gift

I was in a very creative mood last night, which was totally the other extreme from the way I felt...LOL So I thought, why not make a couple of layouts using the wonderful DAD from Boo, (which you can pick up at her Store, just click on the link......) Apple Orchard After I finished the layouts, it was easy for me to just make them into Quick Pages so I can share them with you, so I did and here is a preview of the layouts. Of course they will look the same but you cannot have my Grandkids,,,,LOL,,,, so I removed the photos....

You can download here

QP1

QP2

BTW.... I used a CU template from Andrea Gold for QP1 and a very nice template from Michelle Filo for QP2. Everything else used is from the DAD's downloads, including the cute word art.

If anyone makes any layouts with the DAD Apple Orchard we certainly would love to see them. We do have an album set up at in the Gallery, but since we have had some problems with it, it is getting a make-over, not just the album, but the whole Gallery. It will be much easier to use when Boo and her Crew are finished. I also heard in the near future we should have our very own Forum. That will be so great, we can post our Challenges there and also get to know, all of you that join in the Blossom's fun. You can get your Daily dose of Apple Orchard in Boo's Store. I keep hearing that an Apple a day will keep the Doctor away, so you might as well give it a try....:)

Remember that we do have a FONT Challenge going on and Boo has made us a very nice Posting Bonus to give to all that post their layouts using the font. You can find more about it if you scroll down for the previous 2 posts.

As it rains on our Blue-roofed area, I must say good night and Happy Scrapping from Boo and the Blossoms.

Lois

PS we have 2 new Blossoms, Debbie and Selena, but more about them another post...

DAD 5 and another kit preview

Couple of things right off. I understand there have been some problems with the downloads, but Boo and Michelle have corrected the ones they know about. Check the Stores Blog to get any directions you need. Also, besure to check out the Font Challenge, it is a couple of posts down, so just scroll until you find it. That font is really nice. Oh I just found out that I gave credit for one of the layouts to the wrong person, It was by Melinda not Michelle. At least the first name starts with the same letter...LOL

So you want to see DAD5, well here it is;

Today I am showing TIME WON"T WAIT

This stunning Butterfly album comes ready made with the gorgeous Time Won't Wait kit and fits the Maya Road Butterfly chipboard album. It has 6 Photo Pages 1 cover, 2 back covers and 4 journal pages. What a truly beautiful gift this would make.

Now for a Layout, and this time it is one of mine'

I have to go now and have a look-see at what my day has planned. So from Boo and her Blossoms, Happy Scrapping!!!!

DAD 4 and another new kit

It is now Day 4 of Boo's fantastic Apple Orchard . Remember they are in the STORE !
Are you enjoying what you have seen so far?

Today I want to introduce you to Tropicana. It is full of soft but bright colors, just perfect for that get-away to a scrapbook tropical Island.

Now Boo didn't forget to add Of course it comes with some very pretty Hibiscus shaped Brag Book pages.

Now here is a beautiful layout from our own Quick Page designer, Michelle.

Have you visited the BooLandDesign store? I know for a fact it is filled with beautiful kits at GRAND-OPENING prices. There are lots of kits and other items for your scrapping or designing needs. Everything is 25% off right now and oh my gosh, that is almost too good to pass up.... I just looked again and Boo has MEGA kits for 25% off also.

It is late here or maybe I should say early but it is time for me to say Goodnight from Boo and her Blossoms, or Good Morning for those who live in different time-zones.

DAD day 3 and preview of a new kit

Here it is day 3 of Boo's Fantastic DAD called Apple Orchard. You can find it in the store and Boo wanted me to remind everyone about this.

You may find that the preview does not show the same papers as those in this file. Please do not worry about this. All papers shown in the previews will be available in the DAD series. They just may have been mixed up a little. You will not get any repeats. Sorry for any inconvenience but we hope you'll understand this is a very big kit and takes a lot of organizing to divide into your DAD mini's. Thanks so much for your understanding.

All of the DAD's can be picked up at the store. They are under the category called Daily DOwnloads.

I also wanted to show you another of the NEW kits in the Store. It is called Twi-Light Garden, and here is what Boo had to say about it. "Another kit inspired by by favourite band The Cure and probably my all time favourite Cure Song. This and the fact that Twi-Light is probably my most favourite part of the day it was natural I should make something to reflect that so here it is....
Soft blends, shady corners and a hint of swirly sea mists and breeze-blown foliage make these papers perfect for any number of lo's and together with the truly precious elements this kit offers, you'll be spoilt for choice. You'll use this kit over and over again."

Also there is a companion for it. A Key Chain Album.

Now on to a beautiful layout by PDupre, one of Boo's Blossoms.

So as I close I wanted to remind everyone, when you are registered at the Store you can have the option to sign up for our Newsletter. It will be a fun option and a way to heard about all the Challenges and other doings that will be going on there.

From Boo and her Blossoms, Happy Scrapping and have a great day!
