Finally!!

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Well, I’ve finally finished with the quick page I promised. Well, actually, I just decided - enough! This is the first quick page I’ve made and its harder than it looks! I fussed and fiddled for ever. So now its late and I’m tired, but I wanted to post this before I went to bed. Enjoy! And let me know what you think. Just click on the page!


Blog Tag and I’m it!

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

Never even heard of blog tag, but I’m it (thanks to Heidi!)-

This time its 7 things about me: (this is going to be boring!)

1. I am an absolute choco-holic. Seriously, I have issues. . ..

2. I just asked my husband what I should say and he said “great looking husband.” Ummm, thanks dear.

3. I secretly like listening to Dolly Parton.

4. I love sarcasm too! but not everyone gets that…

5. I like to have projects going all the time, either on the computer or on my house or yard.

6. I’m an Ann Taylor Loft addict, in fact I applied for a job there. Although it would be more like volunteering since my whole paycheck would go to them!

7. I just started yoga and I love it! First exercise I ever really enjoyed!

Now who am I gonna tag? I tag Katie and the people who leave a comment here!

Busy, busy, busy!

Well, school is almost over here and I’m trying to steel myself for summer vacation. I should be taking this week to take a breath and relax before all my children descend on me, but instead its jam packed! I have had some time to scrap though, now that I’m on the CT for www.digitalcandy.ca (yay!) I have to stay on top of it. I love having that incentive. (Keep reading to see the HUGE freebie at DigitalCandy, link at right!) By the way, I’m working on a quick page for my Red Hot Hearts kit, so stay tuned. . . . .

Here’s what I’ve done so far. …

These pages are from Cancun last September. Man!! I would love to go back.

These are done with Gummy Grins by Sarah Meyer at Digitalcandy (link on side bar). I sure had a hard time deciding which elements to use, they were all SO cute and SO many of them. I finally decided on these, hope its not too busy. This is my daughter Meg (blondie) and her BFF, Grace.

More big news! There is a new Mega Kit at Digital Candy!! It’s huge and it’s top quality! And get this - if you register for the site by Friday you get it FREE!!! Yup that’s right, FREE!!

Okay, off to check on dinner, be sure to check back in a couple of days or so!

Just a quick note. . .

I’m not sure how many of you have discovered “digitalcandy” but its a fairly new digi scrapping site and store. I really like it and I’m there quite a bit. Well with growing pains and all, they had some technical difficulties that caused them to lose all the people that had already registered! And like me, they really make it worth your while to register. For all those who register there will be a FREE “mega kit and more”!! So, take a moment and if you’ve already registered, you might want to re-register, and if you haven’t, check it out. The people there are SO friendly and the products are SO cute. I’ve just bought some myself. . . . .

Anyhoo, just wanted to pass the word!

Have a great day and get scrapping!

More Elements, as promised!

Wow, I’m looking at an amazing sunset right now. I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world! I may be a bit biased though :).

Well, I’ve been doing more experimenting. I just had to figure out how to make those cool beads I’ve seen lately and I wanted them to have some bling. It took me a while to get it figured out, but I think I’m almost there. I’m not really happy with the flower aspect of these elements though, I spent so much time playing with stitching and jewels that the shapes are a bit, well, not-so-original. And I wanted to create a brooch look, but my flowers are just a bit fat, I’ll have to try a “skinnier” shape next time. But here you go, do what you want with them and any suggestions,etc. would be greatly appreciated!

Enjoy!! Oh, and the alphabet should be ready by this weekend. But I still need just a couple more layouts. . . . anyone? anyone?

More Goodies and some really lovely layouts!

Its Friday!! Yay! (Okay it WAS friday and I got a bit sidetracked, lol. But better late than never right?) AND its absolutely beatiful weather, which I am loving. We have had waaaay too much rain this spring. But it also means I really really need to get working on my yard. Any other avid gardeners out there? I love it.

Thanks to everyone who registered. I hope you all enjoy the kit, I’ve already seen a few fabulous layouts, which is so cool! I’m spending lots of time on the computer playing with some new set ideas and adding to the Red Hot Hearts (I decided to take Debbie’s suggestiong, thanks so much!) as well as the Sunny Daze kit. In fact if you are not just tired to death of the Sunny Daze stuff, I have a few more papers and some elements that I will post in a couple of days. I’ve been busy experimenting so I have about 50 pages for this set, figured I might as well share few more!

Here is a lovely page done by Melanie (flower is Spring Flower Set by Keely Simpson):

These were done by rainbow kitty:

Thanks for sharing those with us!

I’ve been experimenting a lot with textures, here’s what I’ve been playing with lately:

Okay, here’s what you’ve been looking for :)! By the way, I will be posting a few more elements in the next couple of days, I’m working on some cute flower embellishements. . . . I also have that nice alphabet that I will share if I can get just a couple more layouts posted! Thanks for visiting and enjoy the papers!
