Imagene Doll

I guess it's no secret to those who know me that my favorite author happens to be Lisa Wingate. She created a wonderful character, Imagene Doll. Imagene (pronounced I'm-a-jean) is one of the beauty shop babes from Lisa's three Daily Texas books. Talk of the Town happens to be FREE on Kindle right now. In the books, Imagene Doll works at the town diner but can be found next door at the beauty shop most of the time, sharing the town news (and maybe a little gossip) with her gal pals, Donetta and Lucy. She misses her dear husband something fierce and discovers that she has an abundance of time as well as love to share with the people she cares about. This Imagene Doll digital scrapbook page kit is brand new to the store at Digital Scrapbook Place. I love that vintage diner ticket in the kit.

I created an add on pack to go along with the kit.
This add on pack is a posting challenge FREEBIE. Just purchase the kit, create a scrapbook page with it and post in the gallery at Digital Scrapbook Place. Don't forget to put a link in the Imagene Posting Bonus forum so I can find it. Post your page by the end of the day, Saturday, March 5th to get the posting freebie.


The coordinating papers are a chat freebie for tonight, Wednesday February 23. Come to the DSP chat room at 9PM est for some fun chatting and these free papers.

Here are some digital scrapbook pages that I created using the entire collection.
From heritage...

to vintage...

to those precious little ones, this collection is very versatile. I really can't decide which page I like best.

Gone Country

I had the absolute honor of proof reading a manuscript for my girlfriend, Lisa Wingate, last week. It's her 17th book and will be the second book in the Moses Lake series. It was wonderful and took me on a delightful journey south to Texas. With this Michigan winter dragging on, the vacation of the mind was a welcome relief.

The first book in the Moses Lake series is called Larkspur Cove and is in bookstores now. I read that one about a month ago now just prior to it's release. You can read the first two chapters here.

With these two captivating stories fresh in my creative thoughts, I designed the Gone Country collection of digital scrapbook products.

Gone Country Page kit is available in the store at DSP

The add on pack for the kit is a posting FREEBIE. Find out more here.


The Gone Country Papers are available in the DSP store now.

This collection is so versatile. It was incredible easy to come up with several different pages.

Here is a heritage style page that I put together. This lovely couple is my great grandparents, George and Ellie.
This masculine style page features my treasured Grandpa in his boat on Bear Lake.

The way-too-cute star of this page is one of the little boys from across the road. This was taken several years ago. He's a little older now but rest assured, he's still way too cute.

And of course, here is the country that inspired the whole collection. These are some pictures that Lisa sent me of her boys out fishing. Aren't the colors PERFECT???

The sun is trying to shine through the light cloud cover outside. It snowed a little this morning. I never thought the sight of more snow could make me happy but the falling snow means just one thing right now --- it is not so bitter cold outside. It's been so bitter cold lately that it's actually been too cold to snow. Brrrrr.

I hope you'll enjoy a little trip to the (warm and sunny) country with these brand new digital scrapbook products.
