Today is the LAST Fresh Friday of 2012… can you believe it??!!! Delightfully Distressing Designs and KiniArt have a few cuties to help you close out the year in style!

First up is a Christmas Cutie that KiniArt let you have early… This one would be PERFECT for those holiday thank you cards.

And last, but certainly NOT least, is this Panda Fun Greyhound!

This is SO funny because I actually got a panda hat for Christmas this year. Being the San Francisco Giants fan that I am, I had to have one for Pablo Sandoval, AKA the Panda.  Here is my German Shepherd, Gandolf AKA Gandy, doing his best Panda Fun Greyhound impersonation (inside the Pink Frame):

Now that we have the craziness out of our system, we can move on to the HUGE set of Grunge Neutrals Hardware that Delightfully Distressing Designs has for us today:

12 Days – Day 12 – December

12 Days – Day 12 – December

Merry Christmas!!!! Did Santa bring you everything you wanted this year??? Did you grab all those Christmas memories on your camera? Ready to scrap them??? For the December Kit, I wanted to focus on the calm the we sometimes have a hard time finding during this busy season, so I chose a muted non-traditional color palate.  Hopefully, it brings you some calm as the kids run around playing with their new things today!

It’s a little hard to see in the preview, but there is an etched glass block over the photos.  I added some photos from a day downtown Chicago with the fabulous LilyPink Designs.  They photos weren’t from December, but a gorgeous day like we had is definitely a gift!

When I put the photos in, I jacked up the vibrance, so the gorgeous colors of the day would show through.  If you wanted the look of viewing through the frosted glass, you don’t have to do that.

And the right-hand page:

Again, with photos of the same glorious day for you…

How about a set of etched glass ornaments, word art, and the tree?  If you click the photo, it will enlarge, so you can see a bigger version and really get the full impact of these FUN elements.

I hope you have enjoyed our 12 Days of Freebies!  If you’d like something added to the 12 Days series, just let me know, and I’m happy to create it for you.  Have a safe and happy holiday, and we’ll see you Friday for final edition of Fresh Friday for the year!

12 Days – Day 11 – November

Welcome back!  Today, we are AGAIN lucky to get a kit by Green Goddess Creations!  Can you tell that fall is her favorite season??? When I asked if she wanted to help, she jumped right on fall the fall months.  If you missed her first one, it was October, and it may just sway me into jumping on the Halloween band wagon.  She did have me until this November kit, which is my FAVORITE one of hers.  Check it out…
