I'm BAAACK!!!!

And I hope to never be away for this long again. Since last you all saw me, I've been a very busy woman. First of all, we finally closed on our new house in February. And since that day, we've been working on it diligently. We also had to finalize the preparations for my mother to sell her childhood home. That was a sad day for all of us.

Also, I've been busy chasing Kathryn and Paul around constantly. And I do mean constantly.

Finally, I got my newest creation into the store today. It is called Click-It volume 1.

Here is a preview:

And here is the layout that I created that I based template #4 off of. I used Amanda Thorderson's kit Walking on Sunshine for the creation of the layout. I guess I'm all backwards. I tend to create a layout first, decide I like it and then make a template from my layout:

If you like what you see in the preview, you can check out the template set here: http://www.digitalscrapgarden.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&products_id=286

Or, always feel free to browse my entire store:

Check back in soon.

The Freebie I promised

Okay, so it is not Monday. And for that I sincerly apologize. Paul had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and on Monday I was dealing with things I have going on here so, alas, not much time for the computer. But I'm back and with a quickpage that coordinates with Warm Fuzzy Pajamas

Also, I would like to let you all know about the great challenges that we have going on at our little garden on the net. Lots of fun challenges for inspiration to get you scrapping: Digital Scrap Garden Challenges

Remember, at the Garden, you aren't just a member, you are family.

So, without further ado, here is the quickpage (example layout by myself)

And here is the link to download the quickpage: http://www.4shared.com/file/35055038/57850e82/Warm_Fuzzy_Pajamas_freebie.html?

Sorry everyone, the picture of Paul is not included. Please be sure to let me know if you use or appreciate the quickpage.

Warm Fuzzy Pajamas

You might be wondering what exactly Warm Fuzzy Pajamas is. Well, it is my first kit that I have created with the intention of selling it.

You want to see?? I know you do. Here it is:

Why Warm Fuzzy Pajamas? Well, it was inspired by Paul's newest set of pajamas.

With this kit you get: 11 papers (4 textured solids and 7 patterned), 12 buttons (2 different styles), 8 zippers (2 different styles), 4 ribbons, 1 film strip frame, 1 rectangle frame, 1 snowman sticker, and 1 penguin sticker.

And if you are interested, you can find it here: http://www.digitalscrapgarden.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&products_id=112

Oh, and check back soon. Say Monday, or maybe even earlier for a quickpage made using this kit.

Bad Blogger

I am so sorry I'm a terrible blogger. It is actually quite difficult to get used to this. And, of course I am going crazy as well.

I've had Kathryn home with me for the last two weeks, Paul is climbing everything, and we are still waiting for word as to when we will be closing on our house.

Other than that, I have good news too. I am a designer at Digital Scrap Garden. I haven't gotten anything ready for the store just yet, but I'm working on it. The ladies over there were so impressed with everyone's work on the contest that the offered a contract for anyone involved in it that was interested. I figured, what better way to get my feet wet.

CT Layouts to Share

I've been a busy little lady these past few days. The beginning of the month is one of my favorite times of the month for many reasons. New creative team assignments from my two site CTs, Digitals and TSG. This month I get to be creative for Kathryn Estry at Digitals and Cheryl McCain at TSG.

I've already done one layout with Kathryn Estry's Bodacious Bears kit, which you can find here: http://www.digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7185

This is of Kathryn's birthday party at her baby sitter's house.

And for Cheryl McCain, I've been playing with her lovely kit, Pickin' Strawberries: http://scrappinggarden.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1247

This first layout is of the birthday cake that Kathryn requested for her birthday party at home. She asked for strawberry cake with strawberry icing and topped with strawberries. Now, I'm no cake artist so this is what I came up with.

The second layout that I've made with Cheryl's Pickin' Strawberries kit is of the first time we took Kathryn out to pick strawberries when she was three years old. I've had such fun with this kit.

Talk to you all really soon.

Welcome to my new blog

First off, I'd like to caution everyone that I've never blogged before so if I completely stink. Please let me know.

And secondly, I'd like to share that I now consider myself to be a digi designer. I created my first mini kit last week, and I am very proud of it. Of course, I also know that the only thing I can do from here is grow, but you have to have a jumping off point and this was it for me. That said, here is my first creation:

I like it, I really do. I can't believe that I've actually jumped in with both feet and did this. Of course, I have one of my wonderful digiscrapping friends to thank for this endeavor.

So, if you think you might like to vote for my entry into the contest, here is the site where it can be found: http://www.digitalscrapgarden.com/ in order to vote you have to register and log in, but it is free and just for registering, they will give you a very nice welcome kit.
