It's Get'n Hot, "In The Kitchen"!

Hello there, Happy Scrappers!  Lisa-Lisa, here.  I'm super thrilled to bring you today's blog.  FranB has given me the green light to go ahead with my recipe card idea.  Yeah!!!  FranB just re-released, "In The Kitchen" to ALL of her shops.  This kit is so much fun.  I'm one of those ladies that is always in the kitchen.  So, it is just perfect for me.  I bet it is for you, too.  I totally dig the color palette as well.  The embellishments are really well thought out and will make designing your layouts a snap.

Let's all have fun with FranB's new kit, shall we?  Below, is a recipe layout.  You may save this layout and use it as the first page in your new, "In The Kitchen" recipe book!  Create your own recipe page using FranB's kit, link us up to it in the comments below, then collect all of the other's pages and at the end, hopefully, we will all have a nice recipe book.  You could even have it printed out and give it as a gift or keep it for yourself on the computer or in a book.



I also made two blank cards for you! You could print out both cards and adhere the recipe to the back of the card or use your own recipe on the back of the card. I could not stop playing with this kit!  Ha!  The layouts just kept coming because of all of the amazing goodies in it.  I love that.  Now you are benefitting.  Super!




Some tags for your homemade goodies is another Fran-tastic edition to the FREEBIES.  Print, cut and attach them to your gifts.  All of the images are linked up to the download through Dropbox.  Just click on the image here, you will be sent to the link and click on the image and add it to your downloads.


Keep on scrolling down for more inspiration with the Creative Team's layouts.

Just A Peek

Howdy, FranB Fans!

Lisa-Lisa here and I believe I am fully recovered from my iNSD hangover.  I'm not only caught up on most of my projects, but I even finished a digital scrapbook that I'll be getting printed.  Yeah, me!!!  I'm in the middle of another scrapbook I plan to get printed and that is a recipe book of my family's favourite dishes, with pictures of the recipes of me and my family eating and cooking.  This is for my mom who is a wonderful cook/baker and whom we never get to see.  She will love to view her little grand-boys in action.

Oh, right!  I am supposed to be giving you a peek at the next kit.  If I haven't given too, much away...


I can see already that the colors are just fabulous and this will be perfect for my project!  Be sure to join us on Friday for a full reveal.  I'll have something special cooked up for you and you can see how my project is going and maybe consider doing one of your own.

Have a great day!

CT Inspiration

A very Happy Mother's Day!

What a fantastic way to spend it!  Here!!!  Doing what you love best.  Lounging behind the computer, in your robe, sipping on a cup of hot jo or camomile.  Mmmm.....  Now, that is a great day!  

FranB most certainly deserves a break after all of those kits she pumped out in the last couple of weeks.  Here are some of the Creative Team's designs using the newest kits.  If you haven't already, scroll down to previous blog entries and get the couple of freebies that are still there and don't forget the Facebook freebie either!

Here is a layout keeping mom in mind.


Circles are a great way to add interest to your layouts.  Big and small, framed, shadowed...Try one or more in your next layout.



 What a great kit for scrapping those trips to an aquarium!


Templates and kits make fantastic layouts!



I think the creative Team could not get enough of the, "Beachy Keen" kit.  The colors are pretty great.










Just a touch of bright makes this layout really stand out.





 Don't forget to use FranB's kits to make your Facebook Time Lines and Profile Pictures.




 Thanks for dropping by FranB Designs!  Be sure to do it again!

This and That and Partly Cloudy!

Partly Cloudy!

I hope you are recovered somewhat from NSD last weekend! I still think I have the shakes from all the craziness!!  Partly Cloudy was my Facebook freebie last weekend, but if you didn't get a chance to snag it then, it is now available to purchase! Have fun in the rain, send your kids out to play in puddles and bring your camera! Your vibrant photos will look wonderful with these colors!

Thanks for sticking around and for a wonderful NSD!

Friday Reveal

Happy Friday to you!  Happy Friday to you!  Happy Friday dear, FranB Fans....Happy Friday to you!  LOL!  I love to bring in the weekend with a personal serenade.   Ha!  I'm always thrilled when the weekend comes.  That's when the reveals come out for new kits.  That's what we have for you today, too.  

As mentioned last time, FranB's new templates are fantastic for the new kits you acquired during iNSD.  Templates make your scrapbooking layouts come together in a snap and give them a polished, professional look.  I eyeball  templates so that my own stamp is on each layout, but piecing them together works even faster and is a super method when you are short on time or if you're coming up short with creativity.  We know, it doesn't always come so easily.

"Partly Cloudy" is such a pretty kit.  I just love the contrasting colours.  There is so much yellow in this kit, that you don't need just rainy pictures.  Bright and sunny works just as well.  Splish splashing in water could be a theme, too!

Join us on Saturday for even more ideas on what you can do with FranB's new releases from this week.



FranB had a lot of freebies during iNSD and some are still up on previous blogs.  So, scroll down and see what you can still nab.

Thanks so much for checking in this week!  Now, you know what to do this weekend.  Take a deep breath and think about all of those new goodies you got last weekend and plan time for some scrapping this weekend.  You deserve it!

2 May Cards Freebie!

May is the month for mothers and for school years coming to an end. I've made two cards using my May kit and wanted to share them with you! The freebie contains one 5x7 Mother's Day card and one teacher's gift card holder. If you plan to print the card and have it be a folding card, make sure to open up an empty 8.5 x 11 file and put the 5x7 card in the right area to have room for a folded inside.

I printed off both of them myself, and I hope to be remember to take pictures of them when the sun comes back out, it's 11pm now and dark!

You can download the hybrid cards here, enjoy!

Sneaky Peeky Time

Hey there, FranB Fans!  Lisa-Lisa here, I don't know about you, but I'm suffering from an iNSD hangover!  I have permanent rear end marks in my roll chair and I'm not sure that my eyes have recovered yet.  I loaded up on my downloads and I just can't wait to get scrapping.  Were you able to take part in all of the action this past weekend?  If you had other priorities, don't sweat it!  FranB has got you covered.  There will be some rereleases this week as well as a tool to help get you going on your future layouts with all of your new goodies.

Take a look at what's coming and schedule yourself some time to play with all of your new stuff!



Come on back this Friday to get a real look at these three kits and start planning a scrapping weekend.  You deserve it!
