Right now to celebrate I have marked all of my products (excluding commercial use) down 50% until January 31, 2007! I also finished a new kit called Retro. If you purchase Retro right now at Elemental Scraps you can get the add on mini kit free! You can check out the deals here! http://www.elementalscraps.com/shoppe/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=25

Have a Heart....

I finally tried my hand at creating my doodles into something useful besides a brush. This set contains 10 colored doodle hearts that are great as stickers for your layouts! They are in png file format and can easily be resized. You can find them at my store here http://www.plaindigitalwrapper.com/shoppe/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=7

I'm seeing spots!!

Okay, maybe it is polka dots and way too many of them. That's right I have been creating again. The new PDW opened yesterday and man was there alot of shoppers in there all day. Almost 200 at one time!! I even had a few sales!! Woo hoo! Okay here are my new paper packs I did and some brushes. The brush sets are available for purchase for personal use and a set is available for purchase for commercial use. Hope you like them!!

The Countdown has begun!!

I am so excited!! The new PDW will be opening tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.




















I will have 7 kits available and 1 set of brushes. I finished up another kit today and was so excited while working on this one. This is unlike any I have done so far. I orginally wanted to name it The Rusty Garden Gate, but the more I worked on it the more it reminded me of very old wallpaper, so I decided the name Off the Wall sounded better. Let me know what ya think?

15 Years Ago Today.....

I married by wonderful husband Walter. I can't believe it has been 15 years!! We met in November of 1991 at a church dance. He came up to me with this line, "Hi, my name is Walt as in Walt Disney, but he's the one with all the money." How could a girl not fall in love with that? LOL!! We started dating and 4 days later he asked me to date him exclusively. 10 days after we met he asked me to marry him, to which I said yes. I knew the moment we met he was the "one". So 2 months and 2 days after we met we were married in the Seattle Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for Time and all Eternity. That's right, he is stuck with me forever!! Hee hee. It has surely been a long road and sometimes very difficult. But as I look back I know the hard times have helped us grow closer together and made our marriage stronger. He is my best friend and I could never imagine my life without him. We have lived in many places, (thanks to the military) and added 3 beautiful children to our family. He has helped me grow in so many ways and truely blessed my life. I shudder to think what my life would have been like if I did not meet him. Thank you Walter for 15 incredible years. I look forward to eternity with you!! Smooches!!

Another announcement!!

I am so excited!! I have been approved to sell my items at the new Plain Digital Wrapper!! I love the site and cannot wait for it to reopen. That will be the last place I sign up for, for selling. So soon you will be able to buy my kits and goodies at http://www.elementalscraps.com and http://www.plaindigitalwrapper.com I am so glad I didn't have to keep this one a secret, I might have imploded!! Hee hee!!

Mud Tracks!!

I have been working on a kit for boys pages. I realized I have not done that yet. Even though I have 2 boys, I seem to be drawn to more girly kind of kits and colors. So I started working on this kit with my youngest in mind. I just amazes me at how messy boys can get and how dirt is a draw for them. So I came up with this kit called Mud Tracks. Let me know what ya think. It will be available soon at Elemental Scraps.

Finally the announcement!!

Okay it has been killing me to keep this a secret. I finally got the go ahead to announce where I will be selling. I will be adding my items to Elemental Scraps!! I am so excited about this awesome oppurtunity!! I literally cried when I got the offer. I know how pathetic of me huh? The owner is just so awesome and sweet and I can't wait to get to know everyone there. Anyhow go check it out. There are so many incredible designers there with some incredible kits.

New Year, New kit!!

Okay, I know it is the 1st and promised to spill the beans on where I would be selling, but I have to wait a little longer. Sorry!! Anyhow, I cannot believe it is 2007 already. Where did the 80's go? That's right I am missing my big 80's hair!! My youngest actually stayed up till midnight last night and was excited to see the ball drop and say "Happy New Year!" It was so cute and he was so tired. I thought for sure he would sleep really good, but oh no, he was up at 7:30 a.m. YIKES!! I did manage to get another kit done and this is a completely different style I tried this time. Let me know what ya think. This one is a winter kit, good for all your fun winter themed layouts. I can't use it right now as winter has not found us at all here in the DC metro area. We are warmer than normal and have had no snow yet. Anyhow here is the new kit, it is called Winter Haze.

On a roll!!

Okay, I am shocking even myself!! Three days in a row of updating my blog and another kit done!! I am hoping to get one more done this week so I can have some new kits to put in the new store I will be selling at starting next week. I gotta tell ya, it is killing me to keep this quiet! Only a few more days and then I can spill the beans. LOL!! Anyhow, this new kit I had so much fun creating and the name was easy to come up with. I named it Lizzie's Party because the colors and patterns remind me of my great-niece Elizabeth, so I wanted to name this kit after her. Ouch, that was hard to say great-niece, that just proves I am getting old. Anyhow, let me know what ya think of this one.

24 hours of baking!!

What was I thinking? I waited until December 22nd to start my baking and wrapped it up by early evening on the 23rd. My legs and back still hurt, but I managed to bake over 41 dozen cookies!! We gave some to our neighbors, the ER staff at the hospital here on the base we live at and all the guard shacks to the base. The kids had a blast delivering them and we plan on making it a tradition. It was great to see the joy in peoples eyes. It really helped our family to feel the Christmas spirit.

I have no patience!!

Okay I just finished another kit and I am happy with the way it turned out. I love trying new things and working outside my comfort zone. This is my favorite one I have done so far. I just can't wait until it goes in the store I will be selling at to show it. So I had to blog it. I can't share where you will be able to find it just yet, but I can the first of the year!! I am so excited about this great opportunity I have been given to sell my items, but you will just have to wait a few more days. Hee hee!! Anyhow, here is the new kit, it is called Mocha Kisses. Let me know what you think.

Learning and moving on

I am happy to report I am moving to a different store. I will announce where soon. I am very excited about this move. I am also sick in my heart for the lessons I have had to learn up to now. It makes me sad that there are people in this industry who are very dishonest and take advantage of others. I have learned from this experience and will be wiser now for it. I just wanted to update my blog really quick and will post more later today. Got some Christmas decoration pics I want to share. I am a little obsessed with Christmas trees. Hee hee!!

Pajamas 4 Love Charity Kit

I am so excited to be posting this on my blog. I was able to contribute to a wonderful charity kit. This kit is the most amazing kit I have ever seen and over 75 designers contributed to it!! It is HUGE!!! You can purchase this beautiful kit here: http://www.elementalscraps.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16

It is for a wonderful cause. The proceeds from this beautiful kit will go to purchase pajamas and other goodies for children batteling cancer. There have been some families in the scrapbooking community who have been affected by this horrible disease. As a mother to 2 three year olds, and one of them with Neurofibromytosis, this just tugged at my heart strings. Please take the time to check out the kit and purchase it to help these kiddos enjoy something special for the holidays!! Here is the preview and a couple of layouts I did with the kit. Still have so many more I want to do with it!!

Another Christmas Kit!!

Okay, I really need to do better at updating my blog. Boy life is sure moving so fast these days. Well I got another Christmas kit done and had so much fun creating this one. Man I love this time year!! Anyhow here is the new kit hope you like it. I have changed locations of selling and will update that soon. Due to some issues with the other site I felt the need to move my products from there.

It's Done!!!

I finished my new kit and I am so excited about it. I really love this time of year and already have my Christmas decorations up including all my trees. That's right more than one!! Yes I am a little obsessed with this time of year. Okay so here is the kit.

Busy, busy, busy!!

Well I am a bad, bad blogger. I have not posted in almost a month!! I keep this up and the blogger police are gonna take away my keyboard. LOL!! I am also excited to tell ya, I am on a creative team!! I was picked to be on the Creative Team for Lucy Marino, MAL Designs. Her designs are awesome!! You can find her products at http://www.digiscrapshak.com and http://www.thedailyscrap.com
I have been working on quite a few projects and right now I am almost done with a huge kit for Christmas. It will be called Jolly Holidaze and will have so much in it!! I am still not done with it, but decided to include a sneak preview of it today,





















Here is my contribution to a charity kit that we were hoping to sell for toys for tots, but it never took off.





















Well it won't let me upload anymore previews so I will try to get to it later. I hope to be able to really knock out some kits in the next few weeks and I promise I will do better at updating my blog. So check back often!!

I'm a Liar!!

According to my previous post, I said the only way to get that kit was to play and win the bingo game at Scrappin Secrets. Well I lied!! Not intentionally mind you, I am now on the Design Team at Scrappin Secrets!! (Insert happy dance here!!) Sooooooooooo this changes things some. This kit can now be purchased at Scrapping Secrets and since this is my maiden voyage on my journay of digital designing I am offering this kit for the next 2 weeks at 50% off the original price of $5.99 for only $2.99!!!! Here is the link to the kit. http://scrappinsecrets.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_30&products_id=242
So now I just need to get busy and get more product in the store. I am actually working on some brushes that I have hand drawn. I will try and get a preview up in the next couple of days. It is so good to be able to do my drawing again. It has been a long time since I have been able to sit down and create on paper and I am loving it!! Also I scrapped a page with just me on it. This is the first time in 11 years of scrapping that I have done that. Here it is.























So check back in a couple of days to see some previews of my new projects I am working on.

A new kit!!

I have been busy creating a new kit. If you are interested in this kit there is one little catch. The only way to get this kit is to play and be the winner to the October Bingo game at Scrappin Secrets. Everyone who participates will get a mini kit from my kit. You can go to http://www.scrappinsecrets.com



































I am on the Elements Team at Scrappin Secrets and I am having a blast making things for the ladies on the site. I am still trying to pursue my designing and hope to get picked up by a store so I can start selling my kits. I am really enjoying the designing aspect of it. Thanks for looking and I hope to see you all at Bingo!!

Just somemore layouts!

Okay let's see how many layouts I can get posted today. I gotta stay on top of this as I keep doing more pages and I will never catch up at the rate I am making them. The first one is my all my own design. The second one is a new kit for Christmas that I am working on. Let me know what ya think! Things are still quiet here on the homefront. It has cooled down weather wise and I am looking forward to fall. So that is all happening here.




































































Okay that is all for today. They won't let me upload anymore.
