I just wanted to say thank you to those who left kind comments about my first ever kit being posted on my blog, and to all who have downloaded it. I am overwhelmed, honestly. I really hope you like it and hope to somewhere run into a layout using it........please feel free to link me up if you do, I'd love to see it and of course leave some love. I'm hoping to put my portion of the original collab up this weekend but like I said I think I need to add some more elements, we'll see if the mood strikes me, lol.
Quiet day for me, the B~man went to a friends for the afternoon and overnight. I sat and watched Big Brother.............already know which ones annoy me, lol. Jessie being the 13th house guest, ugh! Couldn't stand him the first time around don't want to see him again, was hoping it would be Brian that got in. Oh well, we'll see how this plays out as the weeks go on.
Hope you all have a wonderful day, catch you later!!

My first free kit on my blog and rambling of course
The rambling first of course as I've rediscovered my poor old blog so I better use up the space for some words. Wow, holy run on sentence there, lol.
We did the orthodontist thing on Tuesday, um yeah, need a second job, a rich boyfriend or win the lottery. B~man needs braces, which I knew but turns out the problem is more than the obvious of severely crooked teeth and an overbite. His jaw is too small and not aligned properly add to that has an eyetooth that is somewhere up in the jawline as it has nowhere to go. I felt like a heel when he asked why I was just starting this now...........I stumbled about how I asked our previous dentist about it a couple of years ago and then I got very ill, all true but I still felt like a heel. The dentist seemed to understand and reassured me it wasn't too late but not to put it off much longer. We go back in 2 weeks for the diagnostics, where they will measure and all that stuff so I know what I'll be in for. That visit is going to cost me $375 (yikes!!) but they have lowered their price on braces so they will only cost me $5000 (only?!)............. the hopes of heading to Florida next March break will now be going into teeth *sigh* it never ends for me, lol. But the bright side is my guy will have his teeth fixed and can smile widely without being self conscious, well worth giving up any trip :)
Ok, I am taking the plunge here. I made an addition to my portion of the Wonder Girls collab, Heaven Sent (it was available at Sunshine Studio Scraps for the monthly layout contest). This is all new, so if you have the collab you now have some extras. I might put my portion up here but I'll have to make some more elements (lots of papers already, lol). So here is my big debut on my blog...................I present Heaven Sent Again tadaaa!!! You can click on the image or down below.

Thanks Yous and Ramblings
Another gorgeous sunny day today.............and I hid inside and admired the warmth from indoors. How sad is that? Truth is the sun and I don't get along very well, you are talking to someone who burns through the sunroof in her vehicle. So as much as I like being outside, when I walk out and can feel the sun I retreat back indoors.
Today is the big day................the consult with the orthodontist for the B-man. *sigh* Not looking forward to the looooong list of expenses this is going to hit. That vacation that I have have been dying to take for the last three years is not only on the back burner, but on someone else's stove in another country, lol.
Anyway a friend (thanks Teri) brought to my attention some miswording in my TOU that makes it look like anything from is not S4H or can't be used for cards etc. That is so not me, lol. Please feel free to create cards, calendars and yes my stuff is S4H. If you would like a copy of my updated TOU then please email me (jayediddesigns att gmail dott com) or leave a message here and I'll make sure to send it to you. I will tell you that anything new from me will have the updated TOU in it.
I also want to give a shout out to Elaine.........thanks for the vote of confidence and the wonderful comment, I really appreciate it. B~man is doing the sleepover thing at a friends and I may just sit and addon to one of my projects and post here. Think I have four in the works right now, just need to be finished off, lol. I get going and then decide I'm bored with the colours so move on to a different one.
Although Big Brother starts Thursday night so my butt will be planted firmly in front of the TV that night. This is when I wish I had a laptop that was useful (can anyone say Dell Inspiron 1510....14 GB HD? Yep outdated or what?), didn't overheat and the battery lasted longer than 10 minutes. Laptop fairy please come and visit me, an nice pink Dell or the fancy white HP is all I'm asking for, hehehehe.
Til next time................have a good one!!

Productive and a Free Template
Summer came back!! Yep, the sun was out, blue sky and white puffy clouds. The temperature also climbed up to where it should be, warm but still more than bearable to keep the windows open. I love my AC but if I can have a breeze and windows open I'm all over it.
It did make me long for the house though with my fish pond and my laundry line. I could just smell my sheets blowing in the wind *sigh*. I am now bound and determined to find a way to construct a laundry line on my little space (can we say 15 feet) that I can put away so I may have my fresh outdoor smell bedding. Think I've figured out a spot it just means I can't sit on my deck while the sheets are drying and I could only do one bed at a time. But when then there's a will there's a way!!
Today was a bit better of a day I must say. Thank you Heather for the kind comment you left :)
I did another monochromatic layout today, all white except the purple flowers in my pics, very different for me but I felt like stepping outside of my comfort zone. The kit I used was Dreams in Colour: Light by Studio mgl (I might add all the DiC series is on for 50% off, individual or bundled) and I'm pleased with how it turned out.
The kit, my layout and then the template.
The result of this layout is a template, You can click on the image or down below in order to download it. Enjoy, have fun, use it and if the mood strikes you come back and link me up, I'd love to see what you created.

Needed a little scrap therapy
Did a little bit of scrap therapy tonight. Have been feeling a bit out of sorts lately and today was worse, just have some things going on I need to get sorted out. The hard part is some of the 'junk' is beyond my control and the other is something I think is small that I'm just making into something it isn't because of all the other 'junk'. OK am I even making any sense? Just feel like last month I was almost on top of the world and now I'm below sea level..........
I work hard, and give my all but sometimes it feels unappreciated and taken for granted. You know that, 'she's reliable, she can take it' type of thing. Whereas others do something small and get heaps of praise? Hmmm, this is turning into a bitch session and so not what I wanted, lol so I will stop now.
Anyway on a positive note, I have my very first solo kit up for grabs and I am stoked!! It's in the Sunshine Studio Scraps newsletter and the alpha will be following next week. Want a sneak peek (for the two of you that may actually read this dusty old thing)? Here it is!! If you want the alpha get signed up for the newsletter!! I may be offering the kit at a later time here on my blog if you don't catch it this time. I'm also thinking of expanding on my portions of the Wonder Girl collabs and turning them into minikits and putting them up here, we'll see if my confidence remains, lol.

Where have I been?
I think I got lost somewhere in cyberland. I just realized how long it's been since my last post.......wow! I won't bore you with all the unexciting events in my life but I will say that school is out and I am now officially on summer vacation!!
I made this layout that I am really proud of. So proud of my idea that I turned the layout into a template. I used the collab Americana by Ziggle Designs and Tracie Stroud to scrap my Canada Day pictures.
Here is the kit, my layout and following that is the template. So to my fellow Canadians I hope you had a good one!! You can click on the image of the template or on the words Canada Flag underneath it.
Enjoy and of course the usual stuff, don't share the link, send them here........you know the drill.
Download: Canada Flag
Hopefully I won't be gone so long........................

Birthday Celebration, New Kit and a Freebie (or two)
I had these great intentions of a fun whitty post but alas I managed to get sidetracked and the fun whitty post is on someone else's blog, lol.
Thats right, the Sunshine Gang is celebrating their first birthday and it's going to be a week long event! There are challenges, events, prizes, new items in the store all kinds of fun stuff so make sure you head on over.
However I would like to share my day with the B~man on Saturday. After baseball we came home for him to change and then go shopping...........yep he has gotten this bug about going shopping. New running shoes were a necessity as his are dying so that was first on our list. That was painless, although I must say the options for boys is not as good as it is for girls. Next came the biggie, I knew he wanted to go to Aeropostale so bad, see the 'name brand' bug has just hit him. Old Navy and WalMart aren't all of it anymore I'm sad to say. So off we go........to the outlet store, lol. Pay dirt as they had buy one shirt and get one free so that easy and cheap enough. The shorts on the other hand, not so much but he needed some. Next it was American Eagle and again he found a shirt on sale for $14. 95, so to the cashier we go. I had a little boy who was grinning from ear to ear with his new clothes.
Now I'm not one to buy into this whole gotta have this label, but I'm also a realist and if I can get him a few items to make him happy then I'm going to do it. Not a whole wardrobe mind you but a few shirts and shorts is easy enough to do. We then had a gourment meal of Taco Bell, yep that was what he wanted. Home we went after a wonderful afternoon of shopping and being at 'the mall'.
It paid off too as when we got home he put all his clean clothes away (that had been in the laundrey basket for a week) and picked up his room. Wonder when the next BOGO sale at Aeropostale is going to be?
Thats right, the Sunshine Gang is celebrating their first birthday and it's going to be a week long event!

Click on the image or below.
Which you can download HERE
Which you can download HEREI am also hosting two challenges and you can pick up a freebie from the one and both have 'birthday presents' for you if you participate. So grab a party hat and come on over.
The Pineapple Queen has created another wonderful kit for you. Sweet Serenity has a wonderful colour palette that is easily used for masculine layouts with the blue and metal but has that hint of pink to very easily make it feminine as well. As always Fresh Fruit is 20% off for the first week and if you head on over to DSA you might be able to win it for free!! 
That's it for tonight, hope to be back during the week to post some more. I really want to blog more often, summer is coming and I will hopefully have more time then :)
Hope to see you at my favourite haunts.
