Next Best Thing Week 2!

Well I made it into week 2 of the Next Best Thing contest over at Digital Scrap Ink. This week the theme was 25+. We were given free reign on colors, amount of elements, and everything else as long as the subject could be used to scrap anything important to 25 years and up. I took something very close to us this week for my theme - Heath is trying to lose weight, as he has been overweight for most of his life. I noticed this has become increasingly important to an older generation, but not so much in the younger generation (which is sad, really). So I designed a kit called Making Progress, in hopes that all those who are trying to lose weight will scrap their progress. I believe scrapping the progress you're making could be taking a step in a great direction. If you see how good you're looking in pictures, you're more willing to make the sacrifices in eating healthy and exercising because you're seeing the payoff. Plus, scrapbooking is a form of therapy for many. Besides, it's a great way to see how you're progressing and capture the memory of how you got there once you meet your goal!

Making Progress has 8 papers and 24 elements and includes a chart for tracking weight loss, exercising, or anything you'd like. I've made 7 day of the week flair to match the chart, but they are also full size flair so you can use them just like you would regular flair, for an accent on your page or to help tell the story. It also includes a menu paper, which you can use for tracking what you're eating, or you can just use it for regular journaling as well. There's also a notepad paper for journaling, 3 word flair, 3 stitched heart frames, 2 curled ribbons, 2 bows, and some other great elements.

I'm not allowed to post the direct download link but I am allowed to post the link to the gallery to get my kit. You will have to register to get it, but it is worth it because while you're there you can download all the week 2 kits (some are not up yet, deadline is not until Thursday), and check out the week 1 kits as well. This kit will not be available for that long, as after the contest I intend to either put it in my store as-is or expand on it and put it in my store. So grab it while you can!

Also I forgot to mention before I hit post...I made a QP out of Daditude for the June 15th Blog Freebie at K-Joi. I just love the way it turned out and I hope you will too! Here is the link to K-Joi's blog, where you can grab the link to the QP!

This will probably be the last post from me until Wednesday or most likely Thursday. Heath and I have a little outing planned for Wednesday (the lake and the picnic lunch I told you about) and it seems the weather is going to cooperate :D ... and then we also have a date night that night - without the kiddo. :D So I will probably be back after that. Hope you all like the kit!
