Woo Hoooo!

2010-10-14T17:41:00.000-07:00

Well, I made it to round 3 of the Studio's designer contest, and even though I didn't continue on I feel it's a victory of sorts- it's the furthest I've gone in that store's contest and I got plenty of experience and great tips. :)

While I was still in that contest, I entered another one at Moo Two Designs. I had a lot of fun with that contest too, flexing those creative muscles! It ended Sunday, and after waiting on pins and needles, I found out that I'd won 4th place and a designer contract! I am super excited!!! My store's empty now, but hopefully I'll get time in the next few days to load it up, and maybe with some new things too! :) Swing on by and check it out in a few days!

Digital Scrapbooking Studio Contest!

2010-09-02T16:50:00.000-07:00

Digital Scrapbooking Studio, aka, theStudio, is holding a designer contest, and I am participating! Now, I can't reveal who I am or what I create, but I can share a whole gallery of free downloads for you!

For the first round, we've created coordinating minikits with the theme "Summer Harvest." I've seen some gorgeous work in there! If you register, you can vote and participate in theStudio's Birthday Bash fun & games. :) Drop by and check it out today!

WOW!

2010-07-03T22:04:00.000-07:00

It's been a looooooong while since I last posted and even created any products! Gone through a couple of different stores too. BUT I am back!

This is my newest kit, Land of the Free:

It's something I've had in the works for a couple of years- vintage colors and patriotic as can be! 10 papers, 1 complete alpha, 17 chipboard word pieces that spell out words to a couple patriotic songs, 4 glittery firework bursts . . . those are just the highlights!

And this is the add-on extra alpha- its letter designs are the reverse of the ones in the kit (striped "A" and starred "B" in here, starred "A" and striped "B" in the kit.)

Both are now available in my Sunflower Scraps store! :)

QP for you!

2009-09-07T22:26:00.000-07:00

Today I made a free quickpage for you, from my free minikit Elegant Earth Tones!

Snag the minikit HERE at SAS. PLEASE don't forget to vote for me on THIS thread in the SAS forums (you'll have to register first if you're not a member there). Voting ends midnight EST September 9th. And here is the quickpage and a layout I made with it:

SAS-y Lady, part 2- OOPS!

2009-09-05T22:18:00.000-07:00

I realized today that I'd forgotten to include 1 element in my zip!

The zip has been modified to include it, so be sure to go back to SAS to download it!

Next SAS-y Lady?

2009-09-04T22:09:00.000-07:00

I am back in the Stone Accent Studios (SAS) SAS-y Lady designer competition! I'm hoping to make it through without Photoshop crashing (like it did last year). :) The first round is nearly over, and I've finished my freebie minikit contribution:

We had some really elegant colors to work with! So pretty! Here's some detail:

To download, visit the gallery at Stone Accent Studios HERE.

What I've been doing

2009-08-28T10:04:00.000-07:00

OK so it's been a couple of months since I posted. I haven't been kicking around on the beach drinking mai tais, LOL. I've been working on different projects here and there, mostly for future collabs at Haven Designz and Creative Scraps. Some fab-u-lous goodies coming up for autumn!

I thought I'd show you something I've been working on for myself on and off as I get breaks from chauffeur-ing, visiting and school-supply shopping:

I haven't decided on a name yet, only it has to do with my daughter Hannah's personality (that's her in the top photo). She loves flowers, strawberries and all these colors. And she's a bright and active 5-year-old who just started kindergarten:

LOVE that girl!

Lots of Stuff!

2008-10-30T23:02:00.000-07:00

First off, I've received an award! My first ever LOL!

It was given to me by Soto of Twisted Scrapper.

This award is called the "Proximidade Award" or "Friendship Around the World Award". Originally, this award was written in Spanish, but it translates to highlight Blogs that are pleasing or special in some way and also to extend the hand of friendship around the world. Now, It is my turn to pass this award on to 8 Blogs.

1- Michelle Pieters
2- Connie Prince aka DigiDiva
3- Chris Beasley aka Seebee
4- Emma aka Eyelets Scraps
5- Kristie Bruin
6- Linda Cutshall
7- Idgie
8- Vickie

That was a lot easier than I thought it would be! :)

I've joined another store Digi Scraps -N- More! I've yet to upload any products there, but I will as soon as I can, in between all the Christmas kits I've been working on.

Speaking of Christmas kits, Creative Scraps is having another All $1 Kits day this Saturday in honor of Digital Scrapbooking Day! The November Collab Kit, Antique Christmas, will be up then (and if not then, soon). Woo hoo!!! Stop on by, and maybe I'll have a little something new in there. :)

I've joined the Christmas Convoy! A whole caravan of designers have hopped on board to give everyone free Christmas goodies starting December 1st. I'll have mine posted here, along with a list of blogs where you can snag the others. :)

OK I think I'm all announced out for now! Catch ya on the flip side!

Drop on by my store at Haven Designz to check them out! (Drop shadows on previews only)

New Look, New Stores!

2008-10-06T17:28:00.002-07:00

A few days ago I decided to change the look of my blog- so much was getting lost in the old template's background. After searching for hours, I found this gorgeous one that fits my needs! Thank you anniebluesky! The link to her blog and templates is at the very bottom of this page.

One thing holding me back from posting was a few computer crashes. Yes, this new machine of mine crashed at least twice last month, leaving me frustrated. Thanks to a smart repair dude, I have a new video card- the old one was the source of my problem, grrrr. Because of my stinky video card, I had to drop out of the SAS designer contest. Oh well, there's always last year, and the winners of the contest are talented indeed!

I have joined 2 new stores! One is Creative Scraps and the other is Haven Designz DigiScraps. They are both tremendously fun places and feature lots of talented ladies! Check them out!

And yes, I do have new products coming out soon! It's not the designing I get hung up on, but the organizing for the various stores LOL! Will post previews as soon as I can :)

Like Alphas?

2008-09-09T16:59:00.012-07:00

I created an freebie alphabet to coordinate with my "Land of the Free" minikit below! All letters are included- the patterns alternate (A, C, E, etc. stars; B, C, D, etc. stripes).

Download HERE.

If you like it, please consider visiting Stone Accents Studio and snagging the kit. :D
