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.

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.

2 Things to talk about today

First things first, I have been asking for layouts made with Boo's fantastic 100Days Freebies and we got another fabulous one from Pat Sanders in the UK. It shows her celebrating a milestone birthday with her hubby. I wonder if she dressed in those colors for the kit, or did the kit just happen to be perfect for her dress?????

Now on to the other thing I wanted to tell you about. BOO has her first kit up at DSO and it a beauty and not only is it new, it is on sale along with the very nice Heart shaped quick pages. If you want to see it in the store just click on any of the pictures.

I even linked the preview of these lovely pages.
I'll be showing off some of the pages we have been making for Boo using her newer things, as soon as they are in the stores. So do keep checking with us to see what else is in the works.

I am so glad Boo is with DSO , it is one of the first stores I found when I started Digi-scrapping and I found them to be very helpful. Bunny and her Girls are so much fun, Bunny and KimB keeps me in stitches. Now with Boo there also, I can tell you it will be lively for sure...LOL

Well that is all for tonight, just wanted to let everyone know for sure about Boo's newest venture and I am certain that you all join with the Blossoms in wishing her the best of luck.

So from Boo and her Blossoms, Happy Scrapping,

Lois

OH MY GOSH!!!!!

Have you been over to Boo's Blog today? If not you really need to go there and in a hurry. She has a couple of special gifts for everyone AND for those that missed any of the days, she has opened them all back up so you can grab the ones you missed. For the links to the files go to Boo's Blog For day 100 she has given us the following;

Did you notice there were some beautiful QPs?

And the icing on the cake is the Grab Bag of 100 matching items

PASSWORD is 100freebies

It sure made me all warm and fuzzy feeling as I read the comments on each of the MANY downloads to celebrate DAY 100. I know how special Boo is and how much the Blossoms enjoy and admire her, but to see how much the rest of the scrapping world feels the same, well, it is overwhelming. So from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for telling her how much she means to each of you.

Post before last I had asked for layouts you all had made using this gift kit, and have gotten only a couple to show off here, so how about it folks, want to share with the Blossoms and Boo too of course? Tonight's layout is from Mary, from Edmonton, Alberta and shows off her Bird Friends ( a Lady after my own heart).

Now about the BIG Secret, Boo only told you about half of it, but she threatened to take away my posting privileges if I told what the other half is, so I'll be good and now tell, YET....LOL Of course the part she did tell is very wonderful all by it's self, to get to work with those DORK DANCING ladies at DSO is very much an honor. I, for one, really look forward to seeing her there.

So from Boo and Her Blossoms, we hope you get many scrapping hours of pleasure out of this HUGE gift. Happy Scrapping to all,

Lois

Another week gone.....

Well another week has passed right by me and I got very little done. I should be doing Spring Cleaning, since we are having company over the weekend, but cleaning is so YUKKY...LOL Our youngest son is coming home for Memorial Day weekend and for his brother's 39th birthday, and he is bringing his Lady Friend with him. So I will be having lots of fun visiting with them.





Last post I asked for layouts using the 100Days Freebies, and I got a real winner to show off here today. OK so Boo did show it off on her blog already but it is very nice and I think it should be shown as many times as possible. It was made by Nancy aka kathleena (as she is known around the NET). I just love layouts using flowers.

The flowers are perfect with this kit.

Well guess this one will have to be short since it is past my bedtime... You know how the older generation is, we have to have our sleep time. So in closing, Happy Scrapping from Boo and her Blossoms.

Lois

PS... Nothing new on the BIG SECRET as of yet, but I sure hope Boo tells it soon or I will just POP because I cannot tell you what it is....LOL

Some NEWS about Boo

Well this week in the Stone Accents Studios' Newsletter (you can sign up for it on their site and is well worth the time to read, lots of goodies each issue) out very own Boo of BoolandDesigns is their Designer in the Spotlight:

Our designer in the spotlight is Boo, of BooLand Designs. Boo has been on a designing frenzy lately, introducing a whole line of new kits for our Bargain Bin. Already a steal at under $2, you can grab her latest kits for just $1.49, but only through Thursday.

In honor of Mother's Day, Boo has chosen her Mother Kit for her spotlight. You can get this classically elegant kit this week only for just $3.50. Plus it comes with it's very own surprise but you have to go look at the store to find out what that is....LOL

So in her honor and to let everyone see this wonderful kit she has made and has on sale for this week, I thought I would post about it tonight and also show you some of the layouts made with it by our own Blossoms. First the previews

Now some layouts made with the kit

Love of my Mother by Trudie
Tami by Erika

Autumn is a second spring by Diane

Aren't these all very pretty? Don't you just love the white space on the one just above? All different but all made with this kit, so it is not just for Mother's Day but also for all those other nice photos that are waiting for a home.

That is about all from here, so from Boo and Her Blossoms, Happy Scrapping and Good Evening,

Lois

3 new Competiton layouts + an extra

Hey, Everyone,

Sorry I have been missing in action, didn't mean we weren't getting new layouts to post just means I was busy doing my own scrapping, babysitting and chasing critters. More about that later after you see the wonderful entries to be posted today.

From Candy aka scrapsofcandy of Maryland, Budding Spring

And from PatSanders_Hertfordshire, England, Spring in Hertfordshire, England

Last but not least, is Angie of HFD heishmanfarms designs, with her entry. I am going to name it Spring flowers

All of these entries have been wonderful, so many styles and ideas. You all have sent such great layouts and each is a winner in my book.

Now about my critters....LOL I live in a small town in SE Texas, 20,000+ folks, but is still kinda rural, with lots of vacant land around and it's share of local wildlife. Well, a family of Possums have taken up residents in my backyard, not that I really mind that too much. Drives the dog crazy when she can see the little ones but cannot catch them since they can climb a tree and she cannot. Well this past Sunday I was sitting enjoying the birdsong and reading my book, when I hear a strange noise in my breakfast room, upon checking it out, I found a baby Possum had come in through the open patio door. Took awhile but I rescued my house from it, and relocated it across the road on a vacant field. Monday I saw one in the backyard, so with camera in hand and small dog in front, I managed to get the photos I just had to scrap for the post tonight...LOL Kit is BoolandDesigns, Birthstone Series, May Emerald and you can find it at Stone Accents Studio. The template is by Beth Long and since I had wanted to try brackets this was perfect.

Hope you do not mind I break into the Competition to show off my Possum layout...LOL

I just wanted to say again for Boo and her Blossoms, thank you all for sending in your entries. We are certainly enjoying each and every one of them.

So from the Critter Lady and the rest of Boo's Blossoms, have a good night and Happy Scrapping.

Lois

Latest Competition Layout

Well, I have been on a mini-vacation from blogging I guess...LOL Actually I just didn't get around to it, so here is the latest entry in our Competition. By the way, in case you have lost the email address it is mailto:BoosBlossomsBlog@hotmail.com and for the requirements just scroll down a little and you will find both those and the link to the Spring Passion sampler

Tonight's entry comes to us from Mary in Alberta. Talk about a severe weather change, they sure had one up there (well it is up from where I am down here in Texas). I love the way she showed what a difference 3 days can make in Springtime weather. While she was dealing with snow, I was running around is shorts and enjoying being outside in the sunshine and admiring all the pretty flowers that are in bloom.

MARY- Spring in Alberta

I guess this goes to show us it really isn't Spring in all places YET....LOL

Well it is getting to be bedtime for this old woman, so I'll just say......

Happy Scrapping from Boo and Her Blossoms,

Lois

Happy Easter, Everyone

Ok I am a slacker, like lots of other bloggers. Boo asked for someone to help with this blog and GUESS WHAT? I stepped across that line in the sand...LOL Then I promptly forgot to update the blog, silly me..

I have been trying to come up with a neat challenge for you all, (I was thinking something to do with Spring, of course) but was waiting for her new kits to hit the stores. I have seen a couple of them and let me tell you they are GREAT!!!!! It is more of the Birthstone kits and she has really outdone herself this time. I cannot show you a preview YET but will as soon as I get the ok from the BossLady...

Be sure to check out Boo's Blog you just never know what kind of goodies she will have for you. I know the 100 Days of Freebies is still going strong and if you scroll down a little way the page you can find a sampler for "Spring Passion" it is still active and the kit is on sale until the 27th of March at 25% off which makes it a real good deal

I am sure by now you have seen "SPRING PASSION" and love it as much as I do. Well the girls have been very busy making layouts with it and since they never seem to make it over here to share, I will for them. First a little preview of the kit and I am sure you will agree it is very special. You can find it at Stone Accents Studio

So here are a few of the layouts the Blossoms made with the kit. The first 2 used the beautiful Alpha included in the kit.

Another month half gone

Spring is coming, I just know it is.... I am so ready to take off to grab some more photos of flowers to scrap. When I cannot find anything else to play with that grabs my fancy, I turn to flowers and this month has had several times that for challenges flowers worked perfectly. Thought I would share a few with y'all and IF I can remember what challenge I made them for I'll tell you that also.

This was created using some of the freebies from the 100 Days and a template from Julie Cohen at SAS for her Template challenge. Flowers were grown by my Cousins and hopefully they will be in full bloom when we have the Family Reunion at their house on the Trinity River, so I can get more photos to scrap.
Now this one was done for KimB's Color Challenge at DSO, using Boo's kit she made for that challenge. I used one of Jaana Saker's Templates to showcase this terrible, stinging plant.

This one showcases one of Boo's older freebies and a template by TrishH Designs, Templates-n-More at DoItDigi and was created for her 2nd template challenge at DID for March. This Wisteria bush that is in my front yard, it is about 30/40 years old and used to stand like a tree but time and old age has caused it to sag, but it still blooms it's heart out every year.

Well this is enough for today. Be sure to share your LOs made with Boo's products, so we can share them and reward you for your time and effort.

Till next time,

This is Lois

Shhhhhh, This is Boo and I've got a BIG Surprise for my Blossoms, hehe, Tomorrow is the BIG Day. Hugs. xx
