P2D: Spring
Got you another fun page that was inspired by some traditional scrapbooking page. Take a look at this layout by geekgalz over at Studio Calico’s gallery:
I thought that this looked like a fun page with all the layers and the paint splats etc. So, of course I had to try my hand at lifting it (but not without giving it my own little personal twist, of course):
It’s spring after all. Anyhow. If you’re looking for some inspiration to scraplift a traditional page, you might want to take a little peek at geekgalz’ gallery. She’s got tons of fun layouts that you could use as a jumping board for one of your own designs.

Good to Know …
Notices. They come as unexpected as you would think. And they come frequently. Good to know that I didn’t know about this specific notice until after the fact, or else it might have ruined my day.
You see, with the holiday and all, I went to play tennis right around lunch time. And of course, after playing tennis, I really needed a shower. Go figure.
And the time I took the shower was right between 2 and 3 pm. Had I known about the notice, of course, I would’ve delayed the shower, which would have made me feel rather uncomfortable all afternoon. As I didn’t know about the alleged lack of water in the pipes, however, I was just perfectly content to scrub off the dust and dirt from the exercise, never even noticing that we weren’t supposed to have any water.
Well, I guess, sometimes it’s good you don’t know of any notices, right? Or else you might be tempted to actually take them serious …
Freebie Friday: Breath of Fresh Air – Part 1
I’m quite excited to begin sharing with you my next freebie kit, “Breath of Fresh Air,” a kit perfect to scrap outdoor-type memories, and yet versatile enough to use it for a wide range of topics and themes. Once more, this kit is jam-packed with goodies: 24 papers, 3 alphas, and more than 70 elements, including stitches and photo pockets.

And what’s best about it: Once more you’ll get it all for free (and believe me, elsewhere you’d have to pay good $$ in order to get something like this). So, feel free to share about the MHT Designs freebies on your blogs, facebook, twitter, etc., and point other people this way, so more scrappers can enjoy the goodies.
As always, my terms of use apply, which means, you can only use the contents of this kit to scrap for your personal use, and you may not share any of the contents with anyone else. Simply send them here, and they’ll be able to pick up the pieces just like everyone else.
Sooo, don’t forget to come back to collect the remaining parts, and now, I’d like to wish everyone a happy Friday, and don’t forget to show me what you’ve scrapped so far with the other freebie products.
By the way, here’s a page that I scrapped, using this kit:

For this page I also used Cindy Schneider’s new template Set 141, and her newest set of Layered Cards – Everyday 4. The font is by Darcy Baldwin.
Somewhat of a Holiday Season
No, we’re not on break. As a matter of fact, school can get even tricky at times, because you always have to keep an eye on the calendar to make sure you don’t miss Sunday school.
Oh, wait! Did I say Sunday school? Well, what I mean is classes on Sunday. Yes, I agree with you. Having to go to school on Sunday doesn’t really sit right with me, either. But having classes on Sunday means, on the other hand, that there are some extra days without class. Today would be such a day. Because it’s the Tomb-Sweeping-Holiday. And since I’m lucky enough to teach on a Thursday, it means that I have an extra day off because of the holiday. It also means that I try to get that extra hour or two of tennis (after all, you’ve got to seize that rare opportunity when there’s a day midweek, when there’s no classes out on the tennis courts). But playing that extra hour of tennis also means you’ve got to make some sacrifices elsewhere. Like missing lunch in the dining hall. But then, it’s not a real sacrifice either, because instead I get to go to one of the student cafeterias for lunch. While those may not be the prettiest of places, they certainly have some yummy stuff out there, which may, in fact, be a welcome alternative to our dining hall menu.
PS. You’re still not sure what I’m trying to say? Simply this: it’s a holiday.
PPS. No worries. This weekend I’m being spared. No Sunday school for me. But it’ll certainly come later this month …

Enable Me: Stitch Up Your Layout
Are you one of those people who always likes to improve their digital scrapbooking skills, or likes to learn new things about Photoshop? Well, then I have something for you today.
I came across a fun little tutorial on another website, that gives real simple instructions on how to create a stitching effect (for website design), but of course, we can use it just as well on our scrapbooking layouts.
This BLOGPOST comes with a little download that will get you hooked up on your stitches real fast. It’s for beginners, and if you’re curious enough, you might want to check it out HERE.
