Birthdays and Springtime

Wow... in just a little bit, March will be here. How does that saying go? March roars in like a lion and out like a lamb? Or something along those words.... lol

There is something about both birthdays and springtime that brings out the fun in people. Not sure why. I mean I can understand the birthday part - fun, friends, good food (cake and ice cream - yum!) and yep, the presents! As for the spring, maybe it's because we're coming out of hibernation, out of the cold and into the warmth of a new season, a time of rebirth and growth....a time when you see people cleaning up their yards and repairing their homes from the harsh winter, making things look new again, getting ready to spend more time outside. Sounds upbeat to me, don't ya think?

I have 3 blog trains that go live today, so March also brings about a time of busyness for me. The first one is the Birthday Blog Train (or Convoy), whose colors are bright and festive and reminds me a bit of a carnival! A lot of talented designers took part in this and have wonderful shares for you all. Here is my preview to my part:



I have a total of 12 papers and 15 elements, in both full and tagger size. (Technically, only the full size are part of the blog train, however I know that many come to my blog for tagger size items as well, so I went ahead and made both sizes.) The full size papers are 12 inch x 12 inch, 300 ppi, png format with matching jpgs and the elements are corresponding in size, ppi and format. The tagger size papers are 600 pixels x 600 pixels, png format with matching jpgs while the elements are no wider than 700 pixels (with the exception of the balloons, which are no wider than 800 pixels), in png format. The clips were made courtesy of a script from Jennie's World. The link to her site can be found in the "Resources" area on the right side of my blog.

Below you will find the site links to the participating designers. Please remember that the designers in this convoy are all over the world, which means different time zones, so if you don't see their portion on the blog, check back a little later! And remember, leave a little love when you visit, as well all love to hear from you all and know you like what we are doing!

Additional note: Julia of Beacon Scrap will be delayed by a few days due to problems with her computer. She hopes to have her part of the train on her blog by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Also, Angi (of Angi's Place) just contacted us in the group to tell us that her part will also be delayed as she took a "nasty spill" and required emergency oral surgery, and is on pain killers. She will try to post her part by Tuesday. Should either designers take longer, I will let you all know.

And now, from birthdays to springtime!!

The second of 3 blog trains is my part of the monthly ADSD blog trains, which I really enjoy being a part of. The colors for this months kit are absolutely breathtaking - I could have made many more things for this. In fact, I had to stop myself so I could work on the other blog trains!! Such wonderful pastels were chosen for this kit. Here is my preview:



There are 12 papers and 30 elements, in both full and tagger size. (Technically, only the full size are part of the blog train, however I know that many come to my blog for tagger size items as well, so I went ahead and made both sizes.) The full size papers are 12 inch x 12 inch, 300 ppi, png format with matching jpgs and the elements are corresponding in size, ppi and format. The tagger size papers are 600 pixels x 600 pixels, png format with matching jpgs while the elements are no bigger than 800 pixels x 800 pixels, in png format.
