Its all GOOOOOD!!

First off, I want to announce my new fabulous CT members! I really got so much more of a response to my call than I expected and it was such a tough decision. There is just so many talented ladies out there and they all just blew me away! I was able to pare it down to 11 wonderful girls, {ok, so I had intended to take on 8, but well, they were all so darn talented!!} I don't know why this is showing up so small, sorry---click on the pic to see the names better!! =D


Oh, and look at me with my bad self!!! I made it onto two more design teams and I am totally excited about both!! Leah is fairly new to selling her designs, but she is off to a fabulous start!!! You can see her designs at Oscraps.com and at Digiscrappin.biz! Go check her hot stuff out! And well, Jasbeanie---a name that no doubt most of the digiscrapping community is very familiar with. I have loved her stuff forever and I am just in complete and total AWE being on her team!! Wahoooooo!!




Made some stuff for their teams already...take a look:


Don't you just love those sweet swirly stitches!! Man, Leah ROCKS! =)


This was such a fun project! I printed out all her papers and stuff and altered a composition book with it. I even printed the digital ribbons on fabric so they could be real ribbons and get alittle frayed for a nice effect. Really happy with how it turned out. Jasmine...goddess!!

I have a new kit that dropped at PDW this week! This one is called Calvin and its inspired by all those wonderful little mischievious boy-moments!




Like it? Hey if you want it..you can always use THIS to get it!! hehehe...a little gift for you!!


Coupon is good through August 8th! Thanks for visiting me here, everyone!!

2 Ughs...and a few Yippees!!!

Ok, so I said I had some fun news coming, SO HERE IT IS!! =) Check out the call! Here are links to my stuff at Plain Digital Wrapper and at Digital Freebies. Don't be shy..apply, apply, APPLY!! =)

Here is a layout I made with Fee Jardine's awesome kit "You&Me" from the Digichick. I took SO many pictures at the beach a few weeks ago. LOVE my new Nikon,...never ceases to amaze me that I can take shot after shot and not have to worry about running out of film...or memory card space, for that matter---the 1GB card was SO worth the money.
Oh, and I little insider secret---the writing in the sand? Photoshop---gotta love it.

And last but not least...a little sneaky peek at whats coming soon! On the homefront...it looks like we may be moving soon!! Yippee! We actually accomplished what we thought was an impossible feat in California---we bought a house!! House prices here, as many well know, are just ridiculous, so we were sure we would never be able to pull it off. But lo and behold! We are now homeowners!! Man, the whole housebuying process...sure, looking at houses is fun but the rest of the ordeal is just stress, stress, stress!! UGH #1!! ;P
But the house is totally cute,..looks all cottagey and sweet. I'll have to post some pics sometime soon.

I think I may rid my family of television. This week it was the cause of great havoc in my house. Ok, so I was cleaning up the house, vacuuming, and my two boys are sitting on the couch. I notice my laptop there so I say to my older son, make sure the baby doesnt knock the laptop. He says okay, looks at the baby for a second, and the second my back is turned goes back to watching tv...well, of course, next thing I know, the laptop is on the ground, the lcd screen completely destroyed, and my son comes out of TV coma looking shocked at what just happened!! Major UGH#2!!! So now I am without laptop, and with buying a house we really don't have the money lying around to fix it, and won't for who knows how long!! Grrr...

Ok..enough of my rambling...now stop reading this and go get your CT applications ready!! ;P

Oh, for SHAME!!

I don't even want to LOOK at the date of my last blog entry! Shame, shame!! My good friend, Kim keeps reminding me get over here and blog, but I guess I am just a slacker. Sorry to any and all who check in here! Here's a little lovin' to make amends: Happy 4th of July, everyone!!

Lots to update..I guess to start I will make a big announcement! I am selling at the incredible new site, Plain Digital Wrapper! So many great designers there, and I am just floored to be rubbing elbows with some of my own favorites! You MUST go check it out if you have somehow managed not to spend a fortune there already!

I have a brand new kit the debuted there on opening day! Check it out! You all know who this is themed after right??? Get it HERE!

Ok, so..I have been busy, I haven't just been not blogging because I am sitting on the couch eating bon-bons and watching Johnny Depp movies..LOL..although that does sound kinda fun right now! So WHAT have I been up to? Here goes...
My little guy turned one last month!! OMG!! Where the heck did that year go?? I was damn near in tears all day, I couldn't believe it. He is just getting so big, saying new things everyday, walking (he actually started walking at 11 months, so he is pretty much "baby-running" now!) Exploring at every second, inventing new games for himself,...I have been non-stop video taping and photo-clicking(which brings me to other news...I got my new Nikon D50!! My other baby!!) Here are a few shots from birthday

and at the beach a few weeks later...
He has a blast that day, playing in the sand, until he accidentally got it in his eyes..ouchie!

We have also been house searching. We've found a few we like, and have got the financing somewhat in order, so hopefully we'll be getting somewhere with it soon. We are looking to move to a smaller town, just outside the bigger town we live in now...that is ideal...having access to all the shopping and movie theatre and things we enjoy now, while still being able leave behind the crowds and "less desirable" aspects of city life...can't wait!!=)

So that's all I've got for now...check back soon--I'll be posting some fun news within the next few days!!
Catch ya later!!;P

Well, lookie what we have here!

You all know ya wanna come by the Digishoppe for that! Especially when you can pick up my two super fun springy new kits! One is actually a collection, I am offering it like this so you can either buy the whole collection and have a coordinating "megakit" or you can pick and choose which pieces you want!





I'll hopefully update again later,...I have a ton of catching up to do, lots of LO shares, and hopefully a little somethin' special for everyone!! Check back later! =)

Fun Stuff and a Toot for me!!

Ok so I know I should be getting into bed right about now, since I do have to get up and go to work in the morning, but I just couldn't let my poor little blog go neglected one more day!



















Hey, look what I made!! My little guy, Declan, blessed me with a 3 hour nap the other day and from somewhere came the urge to work with {gasp!!} PAPER!! Man, has it been ages, eons even, since I worked with paper for anything but greeting cards! There was this little canister that I was just dying to decorate, so I went for it! Of course, I couldn't completely abandon my digi-scrap...haha, the papers are printed out from a digikit! Fee Jardine's fabulous Cool Denim papers, to be exact. Check it out..I even broke out my sewing machine and stitched on the corners!! Now there's another one of my little gadgets that hasn't seen the light of day in WAY too long! Sad, really, because I have a TON of incredible vintage fabrics that are just screaming to become my next favorite spring skirts!! =)

Speaking of Miss Fee Jardine...I have wonderful news!! Toot, toot, toot for me!! I am officially a FeeBee Girl! I was so excited to get Fee's email offering me the spot and you wouldn't believe the list of the other girls she picked for her team...the FeeBee Team is just OOzing talent!! =) I can't wait to get started!!
This is my most recent LO...I took over the Inspiration Challenge at the DigiShoppe while Misty has been out with computer troubles. Last week I challenged everyone to use a children's song, but also asked that the LO not be about a child. It was a fun one. The song I chose was "Running down the Hill" by Laurie Berkner---for those of you that don't know, she is this totally bouncy chic on a kids' TV channel called Noggin. The song is just so cute, about a flower that sways quietly in the wind, watching the kids go by and then as soon as no one is looking the flower goes running and jumping and dancing down the hillside. It sort of has a funny little meaning for me,...I am an extremely shy person but when I get in my comfort zone and with people that I am comfortable with I can totally let loose. Come by and check out the Inspiration for this week...it's all about the DOODLES, baby!!

And finally, new stuff coming out this week. Lots a fun, bold colors!! =) Look for it at TheDigiShoppe and at Digital Freebies!

New Banner and a Few LOs

I finally got off my tush and made myself a new banner for my blog. What do ya think??
Not too much else going on. I have a new kit that will be releasing in a few days, super "Springy"---and huge!! It was one of those kits that I just kept adding to and adding to until it was completely out of control. Nonetheless..I love it. The banner was made with stuff from it. so there's your sneak peek =)
I scrapped a bit the last few days. Here's the thing, my two older kids, Zac and Mei...They are now 12 and 10. They have been driving me just BONKERS with all their constant bickering lately. I know,..totally normal for siblings to be at eachother's throats. But still...SO I have been on a little kick of scrapping them when they were little and lovey toward eachother...I have a ton of pics like this and I love everyone of them!! =)
stuff is by Fee Jardine from her Sassy pants and All about a Boy kits, except for the frame by Katie Pertiet.




















more stuff from Fee: pattern paper and doodles from SassyPants, stitching from Cool Denim, and background from Chocolate Cupcake.
