Here’s a digital scrapbook template for the BOYS! Obviously, you can really make any template work for either a boy or girl, but this one is directly inspired by my Lil’ Dude kit. This time I also included the PNG files for you non-PS users who need the PNGs… but please note that I may not be able to give you PNGs every week. The script to save the template to individual PNGs is not working correctly for me so I had to save each layer myself, turning layers on and off, and manually saving it… quite tedious! If I’m unable to get the script to work properly, I won’t be able to provide the PNGs every week. Sorry. All my templates come in PSD and TIF.

 Happy Friday! If Friday wasn’t already your favorite day, then surely it is now with all these Friday freebies, right?! ;) Have fun with this glittery alpha. This is a lot like an alpha that I sold over 2 years ago, but it’s in a slightly different shade of blue. Can you tell yet from my site and recent designs that this light sea green-blue is my fave color right now? lol

EDIT: Giveaway is now CLOSED! Congrats to Natalie!

 

I really, truly believe that “modest is hottest.” I am super thankful that there are so many modest clothing lines these days that cater to those of us who want to still look CUTE, yet stay covered. It was HARD finding cute clothes when I was a teen, but that is no longer a problem for me.

Well today I have a newer-to-me clothing line to introduce to you: Mikarose. They specialize in modest dresses, tops, and skirts. I was contacted by Mikarose to review one of their dresses. They sent me the Ashley dress, a lovely dress with half-sleeves and a super cute hemline. Check me out!

I wore this dress to church yesterday. Usually when I come home from church, I immediately kick off my heels and change into jeans and a tee shirt. I DID kick off my heels, but I left the dress on. It is – NO LIE – the comfiest dress I have ever owned. It is sooooo super soft. Like buttah. :P About an hour after church I told my hubby I was tired, so he told me he’d watch the kids and I could go nap. I kid you not, I left the dress on for my nap. I TOLD YOU it was comfy!

I also love that the dress is completely modest on its own and it doesn’t need any camis or cover-ups. I hate having to add camis to clothes because I live in the Arizona desert and when it’s 112 degrees outside, the last thing I need is more layers!

The dress isn’t quite as adorable on me as on their model, but then again… I’m not a size 2 and my – ahem – chest is much larger than hers. Oh and I’m just not as cute as her. *giggles* The only thing I wish were different about the dress is that the sleeves were a bit slimmer like in their photo on their site. Here is their photo, for reference:

I love it! LOVE IT! Wanna see a few more pieces from their site? This one, the Bailey, is my FAVE! I love those buttons!


Here’s the Kristy:


A pretty ruffle top paired with a pencil skirt…
