Template by Andrea Gold

Andrea has been making templates left and right for quite a while now...and I don't mean left and right as in directional, I mean it in the sense that she makes a LOT of them. She shares them for free before she bundles them up to sell at her store. Not many designers do that...but she does. She has quite a following, and rightly so. Great job Andrea and thank you for your generosity. If you download, be courteous and leave her a comment.

Take Time to Smell the Flowers

On our walks at Smithville Lake, Kaylie usually searches for wild flowers to decorate her hair. . I am so glad that she is developing an appreciation for the finer pleasures in life.Groupies 3 by Doris Castle, SBG,http://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17173&cat=0&page=1Kit; Spring Meadow page set by Ronna Penner, SBG.
