All Together Now… a New Kit

Well yes it’s been a while hasn’t it everyone, I’m so sorry I haven’t blogged in a while.

I have a new kit to show you all and also some exciting news at the Studio.

Firstly I’ll tell you all about the great things happening over at the Studio. WE now have a commercial use store, everything in this store has been quality checked and approved, nothing gets into the CU Store at the Studio unless it has passed our Quality Testing.

Plus it’s nearly that time again, September is always buzzing at the studio as it’s our Birthday Bash time and you know what that means, the next Designer Competition is nearly here. Come on over to the forum and sign up for this year’s designer competition it’s soo  much fun you will learn heaps and you will make tons of like minded friends who love to scrap and design. So come on give it a go, you’ll never know if you don’t try.

Check out the Sign Up thread here

Firstly here is my newest kit “All Together Now”

full of lots of pretty elements and soft textured papers this kit will fill any girly page with delight.

Check out the previews for closer inspection.

Included in this kit are 13 papers and 40 elements including:

bows, flowers, scattered glitter, glittery butterflies, buttons, a clock, beads, a tag created with Moon Design’s fabulous tag shapes (thanks Tan) Sting, an envelope, pins, natural extracted elements, frames, stitching, lace, photo corners, all in pretty hues of pinks with a touch of brown.

all elements and papers created at 300 ppi for optimum print quality.

See our commercial use store for matching cu glitter styles, patterns and sheets in one set.

Check it out here in my Studio Store it’s 30% off for one week only.

I plan on doing some clusters to put in the store too as well as of course a freebie or two, so check back soon for those.

Have a great week all

Chinese Whispers chat tonight at 8pm est (USA)

I have a chat every Monday at 8pm est (in the usa time frame that is)

This is what I am giving away this week to all attendees. If you want to come and chat and scrap with us you can log in at the Studio and then head to the chat room in about another half an hour from now to join in.

In Other News…

My little green daewoo finally died and we had to get me a new car on the weekend. I picked it up yesterday and it’s a dream so far.

We got a Nissan Tiida in gunmetal grey and it’s quite a change having power steering and reverse sensors and lots of other gizmos in my car. I am taking a little while to get used to all the features and driving and parking it but I am sure it will all come the more I drive it :)

It did sap a lot of our savings though so Hubby will be working overtime to try and get us back up in our savings. Poor Sweetness!!

But he does have a super happy and grateful wife :)

Okay off to get ready for my chat

Have a great week all

Anzac Day 2010

Yesterday was our 6th Wedding Anniversary.

anniversarycards

It was a quiet day, Michael had worked the night before so slept most of  it and in the evening we ended up not going out for dinner even, he looked just way too tired for an outing. So we had bacon, eggs and chips for dinner LOL. Not real romantic but quite yummy.

Happy Anniversary My Sweetness.  Can’t believe it’s already been 6 years, where do the years go?

I made the Card I gave Michael with some pics from the ceremony on our big day

This is the Photoshop file

anniversary-card_file

And Here is the created card

My photo was a bit dark as it is quite miserable here today so I had to lighten it, that’s the only reason the color of the paper isn’t quite right.

I may have to visit my friend “The Gamut warning tool” with the paper I used  :)

It’s ANZAC day here in Australia, this is our Memorial Day for those who have defended our country in Action. Most of you will know my father was an Army Warrant Officer and I am very proud of all he did while he was in the British and Australian Defence Forces.

As I do each year since I created this mini for the SAS Next SAS-y Lady Designer Competition, here is the remembrance kit I created. It’s more Americana than Australian but I am sure a lot of American Scrappers could put it to good use :)

New Kit Lavender Green

I have a new kit instore at the Studio.

Lavender Green was inspired by that old song… You know the one

Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly, lavender’s green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
‘Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so.
Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work
Some with a rake, dilly, dilly, some with a fork.
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to thresh corn.
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.
Lavender’s green, dilly, dilly, Lavender’s blue,
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, And the lambs play;
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm’s way.
I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing;
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, You’ll be my king.
Who told me so, dilly, dilly, Who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so.

And wow some great layouts came out of that scrap
