Hello, hello! Kylie here! :o) This is a quick post to share the FREE OCTOBER desktop! I enjoyed putting this one together for you all and designed it with a touch of fall sweetness in mind! Scrapping with GRACIE (our newest addition to the Shoppe!) was an automatic choice! Well, she is the flavor of the month, after all! ;o)…and a bit like chocolate or vanilla, to me, she’s destined to be an eternal favorite!! As always, the text (except for the calendar dates and the october title) and the cute piccies are on my example only – yours will be blank :o) That way – you can add your own photos/names/sayings/message/etc. Have fun working with this one…here ya go:

Hi everyone!! :o)  Kylie here with next month’s FREE DESKTOP!  September is the perfect time for a little HOPSCOTCH fun!  It’s one big smile on a page!!!  And here is something else to smile about…we have two desktops on offer this time round!  Choices, choices! ;o)  We’ve added a few super-cute back to school sticker elements and some old-school lined paper from the hopscotch SCHOOL additions…so if you’ve got little ones (or big ones) that have just started back at school our second desktop is just the thing to display a sweet first day photo!! You’ll get both versions in your download…then all you have to do is choose.  And, don’t laugh now, but I’ll probably rotate the desktops throughout September, just because the school stickers are just so stinkin’ cute…I don’t want to miss out on all the fun!! ;o)

AND…

Hi all! Kylie here! :o) Hope everyone has enjoyed their week – mine flew by …as did my whole July, really! The second half of the year tends to do that…must be that ‘downhill run’ thing – don’t you think?! And with lots on, well now, the days are skipping along way too fast for me! …Okay, enough of my <potentially endless> chit-chat (LOL!), lets get down to the important business of sharing our FREE desktop for August. I soooo enjoyed designing this one for you all. I adore the Once in a Blue Moon paper collection with a little splash of yellow cheer! So pretty!! This desktop reminds me of a lovely summer breeze flowing down the page. Ahhh…. :o) And, I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed, but it seems I have had a bit of a thing for circles this month! ;o)

GOOD MORNING everyone! :o) Kylie here… here to share the NEW (and free) desktop for the month of JULY!

Hope you enjoy it! – we certainly had lots of fun putting it together for you! A little summer cottage, its super-cool SEASONAL additions (…I feel a product spotlight coming…shhh!) and a sprinkling of hopscotch happiness… our fresh and cheery take on all July has to offer. A nice blend of summery goodness, a hint of stars and stripes… and I even think it will work just fine with one of my recent winter happy-snaps… blue skies and rosy-red cheeks – perfect!

As always, the text (in this case ‘celebrate’) is on SP’s beautiful example only – yours will be blank :o) That way – you can add your own names/sayings/message/etc. And why not personalize your calendar by marking all your special dates… just as SP did with that cute little red star!

 hey guys :o)  SP here again today with our new, free desktop for JUNE!  June!  Did I really just ‘say’ June?!  lol…it is RIGHT around the CORNER…and with the change of the month, comes feelings of summer and picnics and outdoor fun!  And, for me, I say ‘BRING ON THE BRIGHTS’ lol!  I tend to visualize the seasons by COLOR (anyone else do that?)!  So, when I think of Fall/Autumn – I ‘see’ burnt oranges, golden yellows, browns, spice reds!  Winter – I immediately get images of cool blues, greys, and muted purples (you can throw in an icy pink, too lol)!  Spring…it’s all about the pinks, aquas, greens, corals, etc.!  And then…SUMMER!  I see picnic, beach and lemonade colors, lol!  BRIGHT reds, yellows, oranges, greens, blues – you name it!  That is where the inspiration came from for the JUNE DESKTOP :o)  These colors just make me happy and ready for the heat!  It has a bit of a ‘country picnic’ feel to it, what with the plaids and ditsy florals!  But, the addition of the polka dots gives it a little whimsy…while the damasks add a little elegance!  However you ‘SEE’ it…I just hope you ENJOY it :o)  I loved designing it for you…so have fun adding your photos and/or extra touches (plenty of space left on this one to add a poem, journaling, to-do-list, notes, etc.)!
