Backyard Playground Buttons

I'm REALLY SORRY!!!
In my updated link the buttons for some reason still did not have the .png extension on them. I was still able to open them with my PSE4, but that's not to say they'll work for everyone. I've made a seperate file for the buttons, and downloaded to check. I also had some of the wonderful ADSD gals help me. They've made sure it downloads correctly and they can open it in PS CS & CS3, PSPX & PSP9. So I'm crossing my fingers. Thank you for your patience with my Newbieness(is that even a word?)

Backyard Playground Elements

I had some major problems with my elements. I am sorry. I've learned one more check to do before getting a kit ready. Make sure they actually open up! Please see my updated post from yesterday with the corrected link to my elements. Papers are fine. I already had over 500 downloads before I was made aware of the problem. BIG SORRY!!!!!!
I'm going away on vacation and will have to make up for my oops when I get back in two weeks. Please enjoy!!

Friendly reminder all kits will be up for the WHOLE month of July!!!

Tagged & Freebies!!!

When I first started this blog, I thought I would join all of these wonderful Designer Challenges and get lots of kits and fun things done...... Well as you can tell from the looks of my blog, it hasn't happened!LOL!!
Okay I have been happily tagged from some of the wonderful Designers at ADS. If you haven't seen our links flying around you should check out these ladies to the side her. They are AMAZING!!!!
This whole tagging thing is new to me so I think I share 7 things about me and tag 7 more people.

So about me... Well

I love the band Chicago

I don't like to drink Soda(I know I'm weird)

I love my computer!!!(Who doesn't)

I hate COLD weather (Which the weather knows this and we had a snow just over two weeks ago-in May, come on)

I wish I could take better pictures and maybe I would scrap more!

I'm very analytical, so I'm having to dig down deep and find my childhood imagination and creativity!! But if you want me to run numbers-I'm there.

Okay finally the ending one. I'm a Wannabe Perfectionist.??? What's that you ask. I want things to be perfect but I love to give up 3/4's the way to finish.

So know you know a little more about me. Then next thing I need to do is tag 7 people.....hmmm.....hmmm....drum roll.....bababababa

The lucky winners are YOU!!!
Everyone's been tagged once, twice, three, four times. I could probably randomly find blogs who have escaped the tagging ring, but that's not as fun as

!!!!!!!!7 FREEBIES!!!!!!!!

Now before you get too excited, most of them are just things I didn't like with the kits I was working on, but still liked.

Since I had 3 Designers tag me HyperMommy at
Monica at
Pinkuppixie at
I've got 3 of my 7 freebies as Commercial Use!!

Happy Weeked 'All

Comming soon to a neighborhood near you...AUTISM.
Autism affects 1 in 150 kids. These kids are not bad, stupid, or spoiled, they have Autism. "Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime. It is part of a group of disorders known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups and is four times more likely to strike boys than girls. Autism impairs a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. It is also associated with rigid routines and repetitive behaviors, such as obsessively arranging objects or following very specific routines. Symptoms can range from very mild to quite severe."~AutismSpeaks.Org
With a little effort from YOU, we can help the kids and families affected by this every year. We can better understnad Autism. Donate anything, no matter how big or small, and you will get this amazing GIGANTIC MEGA Kit FREE! Over 15 incredible designers have made 'mini' kits to create this HUGE Kit! 1 in 150 kids, that number is staggering, if you don't know someone with Autism yet, statistically you will, lets do what we can to help now.
