I got an AWARD!!! :-)

2009-07-21T08:31:00.002-04:00

Wow! Wow! Wow! I got an Award!! Not only was I nominated for the award, but I was nominated TWICE!!! By two very, very talented ladies that I admire so much!! I am just so happy and excited and surprised!!

First, the award came from a wonderfully sweet girl that I have just recently had the pleasure of getting to know, MayS. of Janice's Scraps. May was the winner of Round 3 (blinkie/banner) of the SAS Extreme Makeover Contest and is now a part of the SAS CT! She has also enrolled in the New Designer Program at SAS and has her very first kit up in the SAS Store!!! Take a peek, it's beautiful!! I have no doubts she will excel at being a designer!

This kit will only be available for one month! If May should succeed, she will be offered a permanent spot on the SAS Design Team!! Right now, you can get this incredibly beautiful kit for 33% off!!!

The next extremely talented lady to offer me the award is Marzena, aka Mamrotka!! I have been a HUGE fan of Marzena's work for over a year now! I discovered her when she was a Designer @ SAS and when she opened up her very own store, Scrapbird, I followed her over there! I was a guest CT for her for a few months, and to my surprise, she offered me a position at her Scrapbird Store as the Advertising Manager, and I just had to snag up the opportunity!! She is an exceptionally talented artist and her kits are so beautiful and unique and creative!! She has many hand-drawn, hand-painted elements in her kits that I just love! Take a peek at her newest kits, Summer Garden & Summer Garden Addon... they're fantastic!!

Absolutely gorgeous, isn't it?!!

Okay... back to the award! What I have to do is pass this award on to those who I think deserve it, but there are some rules:

1. Put the award on your blog. (did that!)
2. Include a link to the person who gave you the award. (did that, too!)
3. Nominate 7 or more blogs.
4. Leave a message on their blog letting them know they have an award on your blog.

So, here are my nominees:

1. Diana of Amberpony Creates - what can I say... I love Diana! She also has her very first kit up for consideration in the New Designer Program @ SAS!! I wish her the best of luck and I'm so excited for her!

2. Amy of AmyM Designs - I had the pleasure of working with Amy as a Guest CT for May/June! She is a very sweet woman who makes some kick-butt templates!!!

3. Melanie of 88 Designs by M - Melanie is one of the newer Designers @ SAS. She is full of energy all the time and I love her sense of humor! I also love her use of color in her kits! Color is our friend, people! LOL!

4. Anna, aka AneczkaW - Anna is another wonderfully talented, amazingly sweet Designer @ Scrapbird! She makes some of the most beautiful flowers in digi land!

5. Marta van Eck - Marta is also a Designer @ Scrapbird. She has this awesome, unique, creative flair she adds to her kits that I just love! I am always on the look out for a new Marta van Eck kit!! :-)

6. Nani of Digitalegacies Designs - What can I say about Nani? She's just incredible!! If you haven't had the pleasure of reading her blog, I strongly suggest you go there now and read EVERYTHING!! She has such a way with words, I love reading her blog! She also has some wonderful designs, in a more traditional type of scrapbooking style that I really enjoy!

7. Carmen, aka LittleSpooky, aka LightningBug Creations, aka The Crazy Sombrero - Yes, Carmen likes her alias' LOL! Ahhhh Carmen... what would I do without Carmen to brighten my day?!! :-)

8. Darlene Haughin - I love this woman! Not because she has the same name as my Mom (hehehe), she is a fantastic Designer and wonderful friend! I have the pleasure of working with Darlene as a part of her Creative Team and as part of the SAS Admin Team!

9. Tracy of Ambowife Designs - There's nothing to NOT love about Tracy!! She's awesome!!

10. Monika of Monika Designs - Monika is such a sweetheart! And, she has a really great sense of humor when it comes to kids! She makes me laugh!! And her designs are simply gorgeous! She makes the best embroidered papers!

Okay... I better stop here! There are so many more ladies I could add to this list, but I fear it is too long already!! So I will save them for next time!! ;-)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!! :-)

FREEBIES!! And some NEWS!

2009-06-14T10:47:00.003-04:00

Hi all! First, the freebie! I posted some Brag Book Freebies on the SAS Blog! I created this album using the NEW June '09 SAS Mega, Me & My Dad! Come on by and pick them up!

Okay, now to tell you my news!! First, I was accepted onto the VICE Squad at Digi Scrap Addicts!! Whoohoo! I am now a Forum Moderator. I'm pretty new over there, so I'm still learning the ropes. And, it seems the other ladies get to the issues before I do, but hopefully I catch on soon & get my rear in gear! lol If you haven't been there yet, you're missing out on LOTS-O fun!! Those ladies really know how to make you laugh. There's never a dull moment!

Second order of business... I am now on Darlene Haughin's CT!! I was so honored & a bit surprised when Darlene asked me to join her team. Of course, I snatched up the offer very quickly. I love Darlene's designs and I got to play with one of her kits already. I picked One Spring Morning as my first kit to work with because the colors are just so wonderful! Darlene has a very classic style that fits my scrapping style so perfectly.

I combined this kit with The Details Template Set by AmyM Designs! I said it before and I'll say it again.... I LOVE AMY'S TEMPLATES!!! They are just so perfect and make gorgeous layouts in a snap! I am going to be very sad when June is over!

And here's the layout I created:

I really can't tell you enough how much this class is helping me with the blogging business! Christy's lessons are soo easy to follow! I've just started Lesson 2, so I'm a bit behind... but, hey, that's the story of my life! lol

In other news, I was accepted as a Guest CT for AmyM Designs!! Whoohoo! She makes AWESOME templates!! I got to play with her 2 Can Play Template Pack! It's available exclusively at Scrappity-Doo-Dah!

Customizing Your Blog Class!

Hello? Hello? Anyone out there? No? I didn't think any of you would be hanging around THIS long!! Geesh.... talk about a bad blogger! I win that hands down! LOL!

So, I signed up for Christy Haig's Customizing Your Blog class! YAY!! Maybe now I can have a pretty blog (like everyone else) to keep me motivated enough to post here more frequently! hehehe... Did I mention it was FREE?!!! :-)

The class is full for May, so you'll have to wait until next month to sign up, if you're interested! I highly recommend it! Christy's lessons are very detailed & easy to follow! Of course, I'm only on lesson 1, but I got major hopes that she can teach me how to make my blog stylin'! :-D

Well, I gotta skidaddle.... it's my daughter's 3 year Birthday today! Plans include the park, to climb around on the Monkey Bar thing-a-ma-jig, and then McDonald's for dinner! BIG treat for them (we don't have McDonald's very often!) CHEAP dinner for me! LOL! Have a fabulous day! :-)

SAS News & an AWARD!!!

2009-01-26T10:57:00.003-05:00

Yippeeee! I got an award!! It's my very first one! It came from the lovely Diana (Amberpony Creates) and I'm just so happy she thought of me! She is a real sweetheart and if you haven't been to her blog yet, you must go see her beautiful layouts!! There's dogs & horses & her beautiful new grandaughter & of course, GEORGE! To those who participated in the Layout Design Challenge at SAS back in September, you already know who George is! To those who didn't.... it shall remain a mystery!! HAHAHAHA..... Okay, enough teasing, onto the award!

My task is to choose 5 others to pass the award onto, so here they are!

First up is Barbara (Cherish Collages), a.k.a. Digimom Designs! What can I say, I love Barbara! She's super sweet! Now that she's retired from Digi Designing, she's focused on her Collage business. And, WOW, she has some beautiful collage designs in her gallery! You should head on over and check them out!

Next is Tammara (Pixel Music Scraps) I just HAD to choose Tammara... she lives right down the street from me!! It's such a small, yet LARGE, world! Even though she lives so close, I met her online at SAS!!! LOL! Let me tell ya, her layouts are simply gorgeous! And right now she has some really cute freebies! Don't forget to check out her "Floozies" t-shirt designs! They're hysterical!

Next up is Lori from Enaideel Scraps (The Scrappy Times) Why? Because Lori is my HERO!!!! I have absolutely no idea how this woman manages to do everything she does! I am in total awe of her! I bow down to her Queenly Queenlyness!! (if any of you know about Jimmy Neutron, you know what I'm saying! LOL! ) Pop on over to their blog & check out the PB they did for the Heritage Challenge at SAS this month, sooooo cute!!!

Next is Sheri (Charlie'sNana) I had the pleasure of being on Barbara's CT with her, and she is so, so sweet!! And boy can she crank out some beautiful layouts!! She's very talented & her grandson is just adorable! She's always had such nice comments for me & I appreciate every single one!!

And last, but not least, is Charlene (ciocichar) She was also on Barbara's CT and equally as sweet!! I appreciate the time she took to go to EVERY single one of my galleries & post comments on my layouts!! She is also very talented & has some wonderful freebies on her blog!!

With that all said & done, onto the SAS-y news!! If you haven't picked up the SAS Newsletter yet, what the heck are you waiting for?!! LOL!

FREEBIE- It's Been Too Long!!!

2009-01-22T10:58:00.006-05:00

WOW! Okay, I guess I am a really bad blogger! LOL! Can't believe I haven't posted anything since NOVEMBER!!! I won't bore you all with the details of the past few months, I'll just say it's been interesting! The Holidays were great, I got to see my family, the kids were just so excited to open their gifts, and it was pretty much perfect in every way!! :)

So, enough about that, I have much scrapping to talk about! LOL! First, I am very sad to say that Barbara of Digimom Designs has resigned as a Designer! :-( I will miss her very much! She gave me my first chance on a CT and I truly appreciate her for that!! And speaking of CT's... I was accepted as a Guest CT Member for Mamrotka!! I'm really, really excited about that!! I've already gotten my hands on some gorgeous kits, and I will post my layouts in a bit!! :-)

Second order of business is the FREEBIE I have for you today! It's a template I made based on my "Got Worms?" layout I did for the Ad It Up! Challenge at SAS!! Jeanette had such a fabulous AD this month, I couldn't resist doing the challenge! Here's the preview and my layout:

I had so much fun working with this kit and making these layouts! I know I will definitely be using it again for more of my Christmas pics! :-)

Well, that about does it for me for today! I see that I got an award from Diana (Amberpony), so I will have to come back tomorrow to pass it along! If you haven't visited her blog yet, please go say Hi! She has the most wonderful Horse layouts!! And she's such a sweetie!!

Have a great day everyone!! :-)

Another Freebie Wordart from Me! :)

2008-11-07T10:29:00.004-05:00

Hello all you scrappers out there! I'm probably talking to myself, but that's nothing new! LOL! Well, now that DSD is officially over and all the events & excitement have died down, I seem to have a bunch of free time on my hands to get back to scrapping! Yay!

So, without further ado, I have a new layout to share with you and a free wordart!! I love to use wordart on my layouts, but most of the time I just can't find the quote or phrase I am looking for, so I just create my own! hehe... I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them! :)

Here is the preview of the wordart freebie

And a preview of the layout I made the wordart for

(click for credits)

You can download the wordart HERE I did this layout for the November Use Those Elements! Challenge at Stone Accents Studio. The challenge this month was to use wordart or journaling about what you are Thankful for! I, of course, am thankful for my children!! No, they do not hug each other all the time! You don't know how frustrating it was to even GET that picture of them! LOL! ahhhh, the joys of children! :P

I also wanted to tell you guys about a new site that just opened called Just Digi Layouts. This is an open forum/gallery and you can post links with your layouts! Not only can you post links, you can advertise your store, sales, new kits, freebies, blog posts, etc. It looks like a really great site to visit and keep informed of all the digi happenings out there! It just opened yesterday, so there isn't much there yet, but I'm sure the news will spread quickly and it will start filling up with digi goodness! So go check it out! :D

Well, that's it for me today... almost naptime for the kidlets, which means quiet time for scrapping!! Yippeee!!! LOL! Have a great day!! :)

Happy Halloween!!! And a Freebie! :)

2008-10-31T12:57:00.007-04:00

Happy Halloween everyone!! I just love Halloween! I don't exactly know why, maybe because my Birthday is in 2 days! LOL! Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays, tucked in right under Christmas! I love to decorate for Halloween, with all the spooky scariness!! I also love pumpkins, I think they are the most adorable things! haha... And, of course, getting all decked out in your costumes is soooooo much fun!!! I don't get dressed up anymore, but I really enjoy reliving the excitement through my children! They are so excited to go Trick or Treating tonight! hehe...

Speaking of Trick or Treating, did you all get your goodies from the SAS-y Trick or Treat Blog Party yet?! NO?!!! Well, what the heck are you waiting for?!!!! The party started yesterday, and most of the designers who participated still have their goodies up and ready to snag!! Go.... Go NOW!!! lol (click on the image to bring you to the first blog, with a list of all the blog participants!)

And, if that's not enough, come party with the SAS-y Ladies at the first ever SAS-y Chat Celebration, to be held on Digi Scrapbooking Day, November 1!!! I hear there are going to be lots of freebies handed out all during the chat! :) The SAS-y Ladies really know how to celebrate!! So come celebrate with us, SAS-y Style!!

(click on image to go to the forum for more information!)

What?! You want a sale?! Well, it just so happens I have one for you! LOL! The SAS-y Ladies are quite a generous bunch, and they LOVE to give you stuff for practically nuttin'!!

How's that for a Sale!! This sale includes everything except products that are already marked down or in the bargain bin!! So if you've been eying some of those delicious goodies in the shop, now's the time to get them! I don't know if they are going to have another wonderful sale like this, so you don't want to miss it!

Okay, now that all that's out of the way (hehe) I have a little freebie for you all today! It's another wordart that I actually made last year for a layout I was working on... and then never finished the layout! ROFL!! I just found it while going through all of my gazillion DVD's, and thought it was the perfect finishing touch to my ATC I made for the October ATC Challenge at SAS!

And here's the ATC I made using the wordart:

(click for credits)

This is my daughter, laying in the leaves! LOL! You can download the wordart HERE

And I just have to show you my other newest layout! I used Happy Haunts by Enaideel Scraps, available at SAS, which is the cutest Halloween Kit I've seen!! So many great elements in this kit, just adorable!

(click for credits)

I did this one for the Newsletter Challenge at SAS. This is a picture of me, my brother & my cousins Trick or Treating at my Grandmother's house back in the 80's!! Gotta love those plastic costumes & masks!! LOL! I am the one on the far right wearing the Wonder Woman Costume & my brother is up front as Mork!! ROFL!!! I used to love Mork & Mindy when I was younger! hahahahahahahaha.....

Okay folks, that's all from me for today! I have to get to the store to get some candy to hand out tonight and get the kids ready to go Trick or Treating themselves!! Have a safe & fun Halloween!! :)

I have some new layouts to share with you, too! Yay!! I wish I had more time to do layouts, but you know how it is with two little kids... I barely get enough time to pee!! LOL! This first one I used Natural Woman by Digimom Designs and her Collage It! Basics Set 1. I just love her collage frames, makes scrapping so quick & easy!! I also used Atomic Cupcakes Transparency Action on the frame and I thought it gave it a really cool effect!

(click for credits)

I did this layout for the October Life's Musical Moments Challenge at SAS. We had to scrap a song that makes us think of fall, and I, of course, had to choose a children's song! haha! This is an adorable song from Noggin, called Falling For Fall, sung by Moose A. Moose! If you want to listen, go HERE!

And the next layout I want to show you was done with Digimom's newest kit, Guy Thing! I can't say it enough... I love this kit!! The colors are fantastic, and it's so grungy, with lots of masculine elements! And the chipboard alpha is awesome! Here, let's take a look, shall we?!! lol

Just look at those papers, aren't they yummy?!! Here's the layout I did with this kit...

(click for credits)

I used this for the October Font Challenge at SAS. The font we had to use is called Amsterdam Graffiti, it's really cool! And I thought it went great with this layout!

Well, I think that's it for today! I'll be back soon with another template! Happy Saturday!! :)

My First CT Layout!

2008-09-08T12:53:00.003-04:00

Hello! I'm bouncing in my chair because I can't wait to show off my first CT layout done for Digimom Designs! I used her beautiful new kit, Sweater Weather (previews in post below), which you can find at Divine Digital or Stone Accents Studio. She is having a 25% off sale at Divine Digital right now, plus, if you pick up the Sweater Weather Bracket Album for FREE, I hear there is a nice coupon included in the download for a discount on the Sweater Weather page kit on top of the 25%!!! How cool is that?!! Okay, now on to my layout! LOL!

This kit was so easy to work with, it's just beautiful!

In other news, we're still partying it up over at Stone Accents Studio! The Birthday Bash has been sooooo much fun! I am participating in the SAS-y Layout Design Challenge, and the first weeks task has already been posted!!! The rest of the Birthday Bash activities are in full swing, too!! It's not too late to participate in the Scavenger Hunt, Member Mega Kit, Blinkie Contest, Template Exchange, & the Download-a-day!! All of these run until the end of the month (except the Blinkie Contest, which runs until Sept. 20) and any registered member can participate!! So, what are you waiting for... run on over!

Okay, I think I better stop blabbing and get started on my layout for the Design Challenge! Have a great day!

Hello Blog World!

2008-09-01T09:29:00.000-04:00

Hi! Well, I've decided to jump into the blogging adventure! I'm planning on using this blog to give back to the Digital Scrapbooking Community with my measly little contributions! I love Digital Scrapbooking and have been so grateful for all the community so generously gives!! I discovered Digital Scrapbooking in October 2005 when searching for Paper Scrapbooking supplies! I had tried my hand at Paper for a few months and discovered I wasn't that good at it!! And, having a 10 month old son at the time, paper just wasn't working out for me!! Too much mess! LOL!! Once I found out about Digi, I was in love!! My daughter was born the following May (2006), so, even though digi was "mess free" it was hard to get time on the computer with two little ones!! My computer time was spent gathering freebies and tutorials so I could learn this new, wonderful hobby! Since that time, it's been one big learning adventure and I still learn new things every day!! I've decided to try my hand at designing, but I have TONS to learn!! Watch this space for some interesting things to come!! :)
