Using the highly scientific method...

of letting my children pick a number, JanMary won my Let's Face It! element pack. Thanks so much everyone for playing!!!

{Comment and win!}

Leave a little love on my new blog and I'll pick someone to give this element pack to. It's one I put out a few months ago, but still one of my favorites! Just make sure I have a link to your blog or your email so I can let you know you won!

Guess I'll put my blog to use!!!

Since it's looking so fabulous, I'm going to put it to good use. Here are a couple of my newest kits...

Backyard Explorer started as a minikit for a design contest I was in last year. Inspiration for it is sitting on top of my washing machine... all the treasures I take out of my son's pockets, almost daily. I reworked it, added all kinds of papers and elements and now it's for sale at both DesignsInDigital and DigitalFreebies.

And Sweet Affection is a playful, girly kit full of sparkle and shine that works for Valentine's day (today!) or all kinds of spring and feminine layouts.

Resurrecting my blog

I've let this poor blog lie dormant for close to a year. I admit it, I'm blogging impaired. So finally I decided to own up to my insufficiencies and ask for help. That's always the first step, right? So I found help from the fabulous Liz Pike of Strawberry Wine Designs, who helped me with all the coding and such that was just boggling my brain. I used my recent Sweet Affection kit for my header and I am just pleased as punch with how it's turned out!!! What do you think?

End of the scrapping drought

I hadn't scrapped a single thing in 2 weeks. Life's been a tad hectic with the new house getting finished and all. But I also was doing some designing, every "scrapping" moment I had. Finally got a couple LO's done and it feels great!
"Bike." Done for Lifts With a Twist and mostly ToniAnne stuff, credits are here.

"Yin & Yang Twins." Totally fun kit by Robyn Gough, and a few other goodies. Credits here.

Check these out!!!

I'm so dang excited about this... I have created some totally amazing new elements that I called Picture Stix. I have this funky photo thing up on a shelf in my dining room. It has a bunch of wires of what look kind of like solder wire, with coils on the ends. You slide photos down in the coils, and have this random bouquet of pictures. So I was looking at it the other day (dust and all, LOL) and thought, "hey, that would be totally cool for my scrapbooks." I searched all over under everything I could think to call it and couldn't find anything close. So I made it. And well, I'm pretty proud of how great they turned out. Whad'ya think??? Oh, they're available at 1HourScrap.com and even on sale right now, for the first couple weeks. Great deal, so run right over, ok?
I gave them to a few of the gals over at twinstuff.com, and they came up with some really great LOs, too! I'll hunt down the links and post pics here later.

I also created what I think is just a lovely spring kit called Bloom (the paper in the above preview is from it, too). It's got lots of texture and detail in the papers and elements. And a really fun, coordinating alpha (maybe my favorite part of the kit!). Here are some previews:It's also at 1HourScrap!

I'm attempting to post

For the longest time, everytime I'd try to add a new post here, Netscape would just close on me. No warning at all. Grrr! Well, we updated our antivirus and such and other iffy things that were going on with the computer seem to have solved, so maybe this issue has, too. I have some exciting things to post about, but for now let me just put up my most recent LO, using ToniAnne's totally groovy Metal Linky-do's:

Soar

Now, let's see if this actually works, LOL.
