New Look!

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Hey all, well, I seem to be glued to my computer lately. I’ve been working on a new header and footer, and well, all new site look. I would love to know what you think. My wonderful hubby actually made the logo.

I really really should be working out in the yard, but dang, I just can’t kick this annoying cough. Okay, I’m done complaining.

So has everyone watched the Flight of the Conchords? They are HILARIOUS!! Watch some of it here!

WOW!! I just went to Scrapbook-bytes and oh my goodness! They have updated the site and it looks AMAZING!! Go check it out!

I have been working on a a new set, I think I’m going to call it Red Hearts or Red Hots or . . . . something like that? I’m really into texture, and this one does have a lot. The hard part is getting texture without looking blurry. kwim? Here is a preview of those. . . if you have a good idea for a name, feel free to make a suggestion.




And again, as you know, I’m just starting with this designing elements for other people stuff, so feedback is SO appreciated! In fact it’s so appreciated, I’m going to try bribery! Everyone who registers and leaves a comment on my blog will get the rest of my Hazy Daze kit. THEN if I actually get some layouts featuring my elements posted on some galleries online, I’ll give you all the alphabet made to match! What do you think? Is that asking too much for a high quality, quite large, FREE kit? You can leave a comment or email me at holli@hollihobbi.com with a link to your layout. Thanks SO much! I can’t wait to see what and if you all do anything with this!

Here’s a preview!

This includes:
4 buttons
4 glass grommets
2 brads
2 vellum ribbons
1 fiber
4 ribbons
3 tags
1 cluster frame
1 journal box
and 4 more papers!

of course all are top print quality!

Note: New registers first post have to be approved, so if your post does not show up right away, don’t panic.  It will.   After your first post has been approved, future posts will show up immediately.  Thanks!

Thanks so much for all the wonderful Comments!

Wow! You all made me feel so good about my first venture into the blog world, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.

Unfortunately for me I’ve been sick this last week, but fortunately for you, I’ve been sick this last week! Because I have ignored my house and yard, sat on my bottom, and worked on fun pages and elements!

I thought I’d share a little something about myself each time, not sure if anyone will be interested in anything that isn’t digital scrapping. . . but what the heck. My middle children are twins (the M&Ms); Mitch and Meg. Some of you who frequent the digital scrapping community may have already seen some pics of them but here are a few for those who haven’t. Meg loves loves loves the camera and getting her picture taken. On this particular day, they just decided that dad hadn’t had a proper photo shoot with them for a while, so he got out the camera and captured these.


The Elements on these pages are from SBB Page Kit, Complementary Kit for Members August 2005 by Jenn Wilson.

I have taken to heart all suggestions, and I will tell you that I am working on an alphabet for the Sunny Daze Collection and I’m also working on many new elements as well. I would love to know what elements you use the most and love to find in kits. So drop a line, give me your thoughts, and stay tuned. . . . .

I also got a very sweet comment from “Nikki” who needed blue elements for her boys. Well I have 2 boys as well, so I always have blue stuff around that I’ve made for my pages. So here’s a little tidbit just for being so kind and helpful in all your comments!

For a long time I’ve wanted to be a digital designer. I LOVE design, I LOVE scrapbooking and I love computers; it just seems like the perfect fit! So, here it is. My first step to that goal.

I hope to have lots of frequent visitors and use you all as my guinea pigs and mentors. Your input on my designs would be so helpful!

These are snaps of my two boys, Ben is on the top, and Mitch is on the bottom.

These are pictures of my youngest daughter, Clara, and her cousin, Ellie.
They were waiting, oh-so-patiently for some birthday cake at Ellie’s birthday.

Aren’t those elements awesome?!

Okay, here’s a preview of what I’ve been working on. Its still a work in progress, so I’ll just keep adding as long as there’s interest. If you have any requests for elements, please tell me. I’m just kinda playing around, trying out new stuff. . . .
