It's my life

More digi kits

Well last night I submitted my last digi kit submission for the Scrap Orchard "So You Think You Can Design" contest.  My kit is titled Happy Birthday but the colors and elements can actually be used for a multitude of events.  This contest has been so much fun and I have learned so much in the last 4 weeks.  I can't actually believe I got this far.  Tomorrow night we find out who is the winner.  Win or not I feel good about what I have accomplished.  Please click here to leave me a comment or two if you feel like it as well as download this digi kit for free.

I also wanted to share with you my 3rd week submission kit and the links to that download as well if you weren't able to download it in time.  

This kit is titled Love In Paris and we were given the color swatch and Title to work from.  It was a real challenge for me but I ended up having a lot of fun with it.

Now is the time

I f  you were ever thinking of becoming a Stampin Up! demonstrator now is the time.  They have a very special promotion going on for the month of May.  The starter kit is discounted to $159.00 plus you also receive Hodge Podge Hardware free.  That alone is a $29.95 value with approx. 100 embellishments and 100 brads.  If you would like more information please email me and I will answer any questions you have.  Being a demonstrator is fun and easy and a great way to meet new people and earn money.  I just recently had two people join my group and they are doing great!!! 

Here is a some pictures of a project that I did with my hostess group last month.  It was a fun mini book made from long notes.

I have other special news to share as well.  I entered a Digi Designing contest at Scrap Orchard and last week I advanced to the second round.  You can pick up my kit for free by registering on their gallery.  I was very excited to see all the layout contest participants using my kit.  I have learned so much lately about digi designing and I hope to be doing even more of it in the future.  Tomorrow I find out if I advance to the third week assignment or not.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Mother's Day

I had the most wonderful day with my kids.  Luckily the weather was just perfect so we went out in the yard,
set up a up a blanket and talked and played with our cat and dog.  The breeze was blowing, the temperature w
as just right and I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep.  I have to say that I also got the best presents from them.  They handmade me a journal using my scrabook supplies.  You have to know that this was very special
because my 15 year old daughter, who orchestrated most of the surprise gift, never wants to scrapbook with
me ever.  She knew how much I would like it so she jumped right in.    When I asked her afterward if she
had fun and she said yes, but when I asked to later on today if she wanted to scrap with me a little she gave
me a big No thank you.  My 9 year son and she said that they would sneak in my scraproom when I was
on the computer and grab my supplies and run with them up to their room.  They painted chipboard,
stamped and even tore paper.  Then inside they created and wrote a Mother's Day poem that was so sweet. 

It was truly a beautiful gift and one I will never forget.

Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Here is a layout that I created for Digi Scrap diner.

Big News

I have some wonderful news to share. As you might have seen I have been putting a lot more digital layouts on my blog lately. Since taking my Jessica Sprague's classes I have found that digi scrapping is really something I enjoy and feel comfortable doing. It has even helped me with my traditional scrapping. Sometimes I put my ideas into a digital format and then copy it with traditional paper supplies. It's been a fun process and I am really excited about putting all the digi pages that I have been making into a hardback book from Shutterfly.

Well on to my great news. I have been accepted as a CT member for Ann-Marie at PickleberryPop. Ann-Marie is a digital designer from Australia and PickleberryPop is based from there as well. The following layouts are my first pages that I designed using some of her products. I really love her digi creations and am very excited to have been picked for such an honor. Stop by her store to check out all of her kits. Right now she is even running a great special. 30% off most products until May 8th and spend 8$ in her store and get the grab bag for free, worth $12.50.
