Whooops, almost forgot!

I cannot believe I almost forgot this! Kylie, the sweetie that she is, nominated ME as creative blogger! I am just like dumbfounded! This is like, the coolest thing ever! So now I get to nominate 5 people!! This is really not a hard decision.

Heather, duh! And I pick Babette, because she's just so freakin cool, Tanyia, because you gotta love Tanyia. She's re-freebieing all her freebies right now! How awesome is that??

Tammy, because I'm just getting to know Tammy and she seems so awesome. AND I gotta go with Andrea. Love that book about Atha...love it.

I would have nominated Kylie and Kari...but they've already got their nominations lol!!

Miss me?

Yes, I took a few days off of blogging, but I have my reasons! First of all, the first week of the So...you think you can design? contest at Just For The Scrap of It was released Monday!! I have been working my tail off thinking and creating and getting my hands "dirty" and all that jazz. Second...okay there is no second, I am just lazy.

But here is the newest layout from moi. It's my nephew Carsen, adorable...just adorable. Anyway, That's not me in the picture, is my sister in law. Beautiful, right??

Swirls are for Boys, too kit by Kylie Moore at nuts4digi.com. Great kit y'all! Great great awesome kit!

This is also for the Wacky Wednesday challenge over at Kylie's CT blog (linkie!)
There will be another challenge tomorrow...so check it out!!!!



Well, short post from me today, I know. I am trying to do 3,000,000 things, and well...I just don't have time!

Zoo Day!!

DS and I decided to go to the zoo today...or should I say that I decided and forced DS to go with me. We've been meaning to go back for awhile now, but it just seems like we have so much other stuff to do. Anyway, here is a picture of him looking at the camel. He was very curious...








We got to see all kinds of things...giraffes, white tigers, a hawk, monkeys...and two elephants have sex. I don't think he knew what was going on, but some of the older kids that we're all the zoo got a real show.





Anyway, here's a LO I did. Unfortunately, I thought today was Saturday, and put the wrong date on it, lol. I'll have to go back and fix it tomorrow.



So, this is DS brushing his teeth this morning. He doesn't really do it well, but I just think it's so cute. The kit is called Swirls Are For Boys, by Kylie Moore. And you can buy it at nuts4digi.com!!





Well that's it for today!!!!

Just For the Fall of It

Have you ever seen a Super Mega Monster Kit? Because you're about to. I'm talking about 85 pages, over 100 elements, and a whole lot of fun. What it this Super Mega Monster Kit, you ask? It's a collaboration effort from 9 superb designers. All of them are contestants in the "So...you think you can design" contest that is starting October 1st at Just For The Scrap Of It (hence the kit name...pretty sneaky, eh? eh?)

So, here's the deal. At this blog, you get my portion of the kit. Then you go on to the next blog to get the next part. You'll visit a total of 9 blogs and end up with the SUPER MEGA MONSTER KIT!! Here is a preview of the entire kit:



And here is the preview to my part. Mine has 7 papers and 12 elements.

Don't Forget to Leave Some Love!!! And Check in on the Contest!!!

Just wanted to say...

I don't have anything to share this evening, but I was reading through some of the comments left on 4shared, and WOW. I just love reading all of the comments - everyone is just so sweet. It really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I truly appreciate each and every comment and wanted to say THANKS to everyone who commented. It is so very inspiring!

new LO, woo hoo!

I think I use exclamation points too often...I mean, I am a happy person, but not like super-de-duper fantabulous happy. I just like my exclmation points...!!

Anyway, I made a new LO using the beautiful Kylie Moore's fantastic Pink Swirl Delight kit, which can be found at nuts4digi.com.
This is me trying to wedding dresses. DH and I had started planning a big wedding in March of '06, but then we hit some rough times (financially, not relationship wise) and decided to postpone the wedding. Anyway, I had actually bought a dress, the first one, and we decided to return it. We ended up having a very small wedding, with a very simple dress and a few family members. Looking back now, we made the right decision. We are not the type of people to have a big to-do about anything, and I think we would have both been uncomfortable at a huge wedding. But, I did have a lot of fun trying on the fancypants wedding dresses...and that's what this LO is about.



I have been working on a few new kits myself...I won't release any details, but I am getting pretty excited. I'm also working on a really cool new book for Marshall (which uses the kit I am making..hehe) So, big things will be happening here pretty soon...at least, I hope pretty soon.
Unfortunately, I have to work on all this in between packing, planning and caring for le bebe...

Well, that's it for me. Have a great weekend everyone!

ooo a friday freebie!

Well, I just found out that my niece had open heart surgery today. She's actually my brothers niece, but her mother is a good friend of mine from high school, and well, her and her sister and the only nieces I have. Anyway, Faris has a congenital heart defect which has caused her to be in an out of the hospital since her birth in April. I haven't heard how the surgery this morning went, but I know that they expect her to be in PICU for about a week, and then in a regular room in the hospital for a few weeks after that. She's such a trooper...Please pray for her recovery to be fast and painless.

So I have the house all to myself all day today...and what do I do? I plant myself on the couch and watch tv all morning. Then I fell asleep with DS during his nap...So I've gotten very little done today. And of course, now the dog and the baby are fighting. I think I'll just post the freebie and go out and get something done. Onto the freeb...

Well, these weren't originally going to be released until Monday, but seeing as I am no longer in the contest, I get to release them early! Woo hoo!! Well, woo hoo for y'all...

Anyway, these are the matching elements to the Playing With Dirt (aka Playing in Dirt) kit. Don't ask why there are two names...it was late, one got 'in' and the other got 'with'. There are the 12 elements that I submitted to the Digitals Design Star Competetion, and then 3 others that I had made earlier. I fixed all the elements, so they should be fine. Those ladies at DDS are sticklers for quality, so I feel confident that if this passes their tests, they are of good quality.

Please leave a comment! I love to read what y'all have to say...makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And it motivates me to work on new things...(i.e. freebies...since I don't sell at any stores)

Hope everyone has a great day and a great weekend!!!!!!!!
