Template Bonanza #10...

...will be up tomorrow. That little cutie in the first couple temps is not such a little cutie today. I'll have both 10 and 11 tomorrow. See ya then!

Template Bonanza #9

It's official! Growing a garden is not for sissies! Being a glutton for punishment, I spent most of the afternoon out building a "trellis"(in quotes b/c I used nylon cord and hooks, not wood), and planting. I am going to feel this tomorrow!!

Here's your next template! So, how many have you gotten? There are a couple downloads left on yesterday's and some of the bonuses left. Take a peek around! Also, tell your friends about the template bonanza!

The Template:

See ya tomorrow!

Template Bonanza #8

Wow! We are more than a week into this! Yesterday's template still has a couple downloads left, but not many. You can also still qualify for yesterday's bonus too! Not much to report today, as yesterday I spent most of it on the sofa trying not to move! I am off to Lowe's now to pick up some more mulch and stuff for the yard. This will be fun with the two munchkins!!!

I am working on something special for you all, and I need a little help. Can you leave a comment, either on this post or the Cbox, with the words you use for "Mother"? Thanks! Here's your template for today, it's part of an album I am working on, and matches yesterday's temp.

**This download has expired! Look for it in the store soon!!**

Also, if you qualified for yesterday's bonus, I have not emailed it yet. I am waiting until everyone qualifies.

PS:Don't forget about the first bonus, it's still available!!!

Template Bonanza #7!

Whew. I am officially out of shape! Last summer, My husband built us a beautiful fence around the back yard. I have wanted to go all out on gardening, but have waited to get the fence up. Well, yesterday, I worked for about 5 hours in the yard, and have two of the beds ready! The downside is, this is the most physical work I have done since Erin's (home)birth in November, and that was after a rough pregnancy where making it through the day was an accomplishment! It's sad when even your fingers are sore!!!

Here is your template of the day!

**This Download has expired!!! Look for it in the store soon!**

Bonus Alert! The first 15 comments with contact info recieve an additional matching template!!!

(Digifree visitors, there is much more to see, take a look around!!)

Template Bonanza #6!

Happy Sunday, Digiland! I have another template for you! So, how many TPI templates have you scrapped so far? I have received one submission for the gallery, so get scrapping people! I want to see what you can do with what I have given you, and then show it off to give y'all some more ideas(yep, "Y'all" has shown up on my blog. Did you miss the part about me being from the south? :))! Let's make this fun for all of us!

Did you visit my ad? (If you don't know what I am talking about, go back to yesterday's post) Make sure you bookmark it if you did, as I have some cool stuff coming down the pipeline and about to be posted in the store! Also, speaking of stores, I am now selling at www.youcanmakethis.com!!!!!! I love this site, as I love to sew as well as scrap(and scrap pictures of my sewing....), and they have AWESOME tutorials! If you check it out, especially look up Aivilo Charlotte's Designs, she's a friend of mine!!

Here's Today's Template:

**This Download Has Expired, be on the lookout for it in the store!**

For downloads, unless there are more issues, I am going to stick with Box.net. I keep having issues uploading to MediaFire, and am ready to be done with it. If you have any issues downloading the templates, please email me(thepaperiris*at*gmail*dot*com)!

In other, non scrap related news, today marks 4 months of living dairy and soy free for me!!! DD2(the cutie in previous posts, I'll get DD1 in some layouts soon!!) is MSPI, so to continues to nurse her, I had to go off dairy and soy. She is getting better with dairy, although she's still pretty sensitive to soy. This has been a big challenge for me, so I have to celebrate making it this far somewhere!

Charles Manson, Scrapbooking, and Template Bonanza #3

I'll bet you never thought you would see those phrases together! This is the story about how I have now learned to Google the title of every single thing I put on this blog.

You see, I want to make template albums. I want to make scrapbooking easy for everyone who happens by my little portion of this world wide web. I also want to give those albums names that will catch your eye, and reflect what the album is about. What I don't want to do is to give them names that will make you instantly think of bad things, but apparently I did so without even realizing it.

My mom came over today to hang out with the munchkins, and I wanted to show her my blog. (I am a wee bit proud of it... :) ) We were going through everything, and she asked me why I named the album in my store "Helter Skelter." I told her why, as it was the first thing that came to mind after I finished the first template. I'm from the south. My entire life, if something was crooked, it was "all helter skelter." I don't follow serial killers, read their books, or even watch the detective shows on tv. I did for a little while as a teen, but the imagination is too active, and I can't sleep if I do. That being the case, I had no idea that "Helter Skelter" had anything to do with Charles Manson. That was "before my time." Oh well, I have to look on the bright side, now at least you 'll remember this blog!!! (By the way, you can find the album in my store. The link is in the right sidebar at the top.)

Alright, back to our regularly scheduled (and innocently named) template bonanza!

Freebie Template #3

***This Download Has Expired, Watch the Store for This Set!***

While you're here, take a look around! There is a Cbox to the left, a CT call to the right, and lots of other goodies and info. I would love to get to know all of you in Digiland! I love the little Feedjit thingamabob in the right sidebar. It amazes me how many people from different locations have already stopped by. There have been scrappers from as far away as Australia, to as close as Concord, NC where I grew up! SOOOO cool!

Kickoff!!!

I'm back!!! After a year long hiatus, THE PAPER IRIS is back and busy!! To kick off my return to the digi-world, I am going to start an unprecedented(at least to my knowledge) template GIVEAWAY!!!! That's right, FREE STUFF COMING RIGHT UP!!!

Here are the details:

I will post a new double page template for download daily for the next 75 days!!!!

After the first 100 downloads, the template link will be pulled, and that template will then be posted for sale at a later date as a part of a set.

This template bonanza will end on July 4th with a USA themed album template set for download(It will be something both US scrappers and international scrappers can use!).

So, take a look around, get comfy here, and I'll see you tomorrow!!!
