Lynne's Digi Digs

Break Time

2009-05-13T16:37:00.000-07:00

I wanted to drop by and say hello to all my digiscrapping buddies, and maybe even let you know a little bit about why you haven't been seeing any new designs from me.
Well, basically, I am taking a break.
I have recently gone through some major life-changing situations, and have decided it was time to think about where I was going and where I have been.
As a designer, I tend to get wrapped up in my latest project, as I am sure most of us do. For me, though, it has gotten in the way of other things, and I realize now that I miss those "other things" :)
Right this minute, I am learning how to "take some time to smell the roses", and other such things. I am having a ball. But, I also don't see me leaving Digital Designing completely. I just have to figure out how to do it all....lol.
So, for now, you won't be seeing me around a lot. But, I believe it was General MacCarther who once said....
I SHALL return. :)

OH yeah... my store at Digitals will continue to be open, just in case you HAD TO HAVE one of my Word Photo Templates :)

Delightfully Spring

2009-03-16T00:00:00.001-07:00

OMGosh.. something new for me to add... YAY...
I started this kit in the winter, I guess hoping that spring would get here soon...lol.

I am ready for spring no matter WHAT time of the year it is :)
Can you hear those birds chirping yet? See the trees filling with leaves, and the grass growing green?
Do you see flowers everywhere, decorating your gardens and bringing in a happy, cheerful feeling.

This kit has lots of fun elements to bring spring to your layouts. No matter what time of the year it is,
it can always be spring when you scrap your memories.

So, finally complete, here is my latest kit, Delightfully Spring.

It's available at Digitals's or Divine Digitals

Also new is a set of photo masks, well, easy to use photo templates really...
Set your photo or mat on a layer just above the mask layer, and do whatever
you do in your program to have an item take the shape of the layer below it,
and it's done... really... easy.

Available at Digitals or Divine Digital

HEY... if you use either of these, I would LOVE for you to share it with me...
maybe you can post a link to it in the comment thread. You know us designers,
we get so excited over things like seeing our creations in your works of art.....

Match Me, Baby...

Day 8 Blog Train

2009-02-14T03:36:00.000-08:00

Well, as "they" say, all good things must come to an end, as it must with the C.H.U.G.S. blog train. It was great having you aboard!
I hope you will come back and visit. I don't post everyday.... maybe once or twice a week. I tend to design slowly, so I don't always have a lot to post...lol...

Over the next few weeks, I will be adding new samples/freebies to each of my stores... Divine Digitals, Natural Designs In Scrapbooking (NDISB), Digitals, and Gotta Pixel. These will be some samples of the current types of things I am working on.
So, check out my stores in a week or so, and see what I have for you.
Did I ever mention... ? No.. I don't think I did. These Tag Pages were designed to fit the Cosmo Cricket Tag Album, available at Digitials, or lots of other online places, or even your local scrapbook store. They are an AWESOME hybrid item, and make a wonderful keepsake item, and the perfect gift.

This page is no longer available as a freebie.

HEY... if you make an album with it, or use any of the tags on a layout, I would LOVE to see it! Drop me a note at Lynne4dj88 at yahoo dot com

Blog Train Day 7

2009-02-12T23:53:00.000-08:00

First, I want to thank all those that leave comments. I see a lot of the same sweet ladies who post, and then I see your names around the forums, and it's really cool to say, HEY.. I know who that is...lol... It makes this great big world seem just a little bit smaller. So..
THANK YOU! It's nice to meet you!

I also wanted to thank those who sent well wishes for when I was not feeling so well..... how sweet! I am feeling much better now. :)

Did you know.... ok.. you KNOW that these tags are being created with my kit, Hugs And Kisses. But, I bet you DIDN'T know..... that I also used my Tag Album Templates as the base to start piling on the goodies :D
Templates are a wonderful way to get started. You can use them as they are, or change them up as you start adding your favorite elements.
OK.. now for the goodie, the gift, the freebie...lol.. Day 7 Tag...

Day 7 is no longer available :(

I am trying something new today.... using Blogger's Image uploader. My PhotoBucket account is nearing it's bandwidth allowance... SO... if you see any pictures missing, you'll know why...lol.

Catching UP

2009-01-27T14:49:00.000-08:00

Howdy all,

It's been awhile since I've been here. This time I have a good reason. For 1, I have added 2 new stores to my repertoire.
I am thrilled to now also be selling at Natural Designs In ScrapBooking (NDISB), and at Divine Digitals (any day now...lol).

For another reason, I have been busy working on my newest kit, Hugs & Kisses. This comes as a complete page kit, or you can get just the backgrounds, or just the elements. All are ok for Scrap4Hire/Others.

This kit is currently available at my stores at NDISB, Digitals, and Gotta Pixel.

Scrap4Hire/Others... that reminds me.. ALL my products are now available for that. So, if you have purchased any item from me in the past, and wish to use it for Scrap4Hire, e-mail me to send you an updated Terms Of Use.

What else is new with me? How about this...
My new template duos....
Snappy Scraps

Both sets are available at Digitals and Gotta Pixel. (Soon to be added to NDISB.) AND can be used for commercial use if desired.

Speaking of templates, I've got some new Photo Word Templates.

Here are some more cute ideas how to use these...

AND... we also have

Seeing Spots Backgrounds...
worn and torn, folded and wrinkled.

These would look so awesome with the Snappy Scrap Templates! Add a few simple elements, some journaling, and .... awesome!

These are right now available at my Gotta Pixel store, and are soon to be added to my Digitals store and NDISB.

What else...???
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... my newest brag book...
Dragonflies

This album was created using some wonderful templates by Chrissy W.

This is currently available at Gotta Pixel and Digitals.

Well, I hope you enjoy looking at what I 've been up to instead of updating my blog....lol....
I've got some other projects in the works that should be ready "any day now"....
