Breast Cancer Charity Kit



Click here to buy.

Hi everyone, I was honored to work on a collaboration kit at Pretty Scrappy where all proceeds will go towards breast cancer research. I wanted to share the link with you, in case you'd like to go pick it up for a good cause. After a fun day at the zoo yesterday, we're socked in with a cold, winter rain storm this weekend. In like a lion seems very appropriate...

Challenges, Decisions, Patience & Silliness



Sorry, link has expired.

Today's title sums up this week for me! I've come to the conclusion that to make my digital designs a viable business, I am going to have to get into a store or two to gain some exposure. A website for my cards is still in the works, unless I can really make something of this design thing, and then I'll just focus on that. To that end, I entered two designer "contests" and am applying at another store this month. ScrapMatters started a contest this week, and I have created my favorite kit EVER this week for them. I can't wait to share it with you, loyal readers, but the rules state I can't yet. But it is definitely a freebie coming soon. Inspiration Lane contest starts next week. We're still waiting on the short sale house we put a bid on 6 weeks ago, thus the patience. And silliness, because my kids are the cutest things on the planet. They spent 30 minutes wiggling and falling down and laughing to this silly Icelandic show, LazyTown. I couldn't stop laughing at them. I finished my mini-kit for the contest early, and got to do a layout for my son. Since I already made the template, I thought I'd share and start a new line of regular templates for you. Enjoy, and thanks so much for the lovely comments, they made my WEEK.

Oooh, yah, another Freebie template!



Sorry, link has expired.

Good afternoon, everyone. I've got some serious cabin fever this week, and cannot wait until the warmer weather arrives. Toddlers need space to run, and mommies need to sit in the sunshine without Diego in the background. So, I decided to put some spring touches on this week's fun 365 layout. Enjoy, dear friends. And please, leave a little love if you pick it up, it really motivates me to keep making new freebies.

It's Freebie Time...


Sorry, this link has expired.

I'm in love with today's freebie template, which was so much easier to make digitally than the paper version I made last year! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I created it from one of my paper layouts, which I scraplifted from one of Kelly Purkey's layouts. I'm also proud to introduce some of the papers/elements from my soon-to-be-available kit, The Princess. What do you think?

Cyber Hugs & Thank Yous


I'm so excited, one of my templates just went over 1,000 downloads! Wow, that makes me so happy. I got a sweet surprise in my comments today by Jeanette over at Jeanette's Pages, who passed on an award to me today and left me some love. To those of us that blog, we know how excited we are to read comments, and it warmed my heart today to read hers. Go check out some of the amazing cards she makes over there! The rules are that you have to link back to the person who nominated you... that's the easy part..... pass the award onto 7 other blogs that give you inspiration and link to them too. I hate to make more work for everyone, but I did want to give a shout out to my favorite blogs to date. Check out their beautiful work!
