NEW KIT – It’s been a While I know

I am a bad blogger!!! what can I say, my life is so full that it’s overflowing and something has got to give somewhere and it always seems to be my poor blog.

Well never fear because I have actually been designing this week and have come up with a kit for all those parents with Tweens, kids in those in-between age groups that seem to get missed when it comes to digi-scrapping. you see lots of teen kits and lots of toddler, kindy kits but I thought I would do this one for those my Niece Gabriella’s age, not quite at high school but too grown up for those toddler themes.

so here it is, you can grab the kit or the bundle which includes 10 card-stock papers and 6 glitter styles and tiles (1000 x 1000 pixels)

all papers are 12 inches in size and of course all of my products are created at 300ppi for optimum print quality.

With this kit I really have to shout out to you about Cheryl Seslar, her clip art is super cute and I have a cu multi vendor license to use her products in the creation of my kits, I just love them

So all the kiddies and teachers are created by Cheryl and altered by me, the rest of the clip art doodle type elements I created from scratch with my handy dandy wacom tablet, love it!!

Okay on to the previews, I hope you like my new kit if you want to check it out at my store, of course head on over to the Studio here

Have a great week all

It’s Voting time at the Studio

Well unless you have been hiding out in a cave somewhere or lost on a deserted island, you must have heard about the annual Birthday Bash going on over at the Studio.

We are having our 3rd annual Next Designer Competition too and it’s a freebie fest with so many entrants this year and the competition is outstanding this year.

woo hoo, we have had a fabulous time this week, the polls are open for the Designer Competition voting so pop on over to the forum to cast your vote HERE.you can vote for up to 3 contestants.

You must be a member at the Studio to vote in this poll. While you are there pop on over to the gallery and grab some free minikits from the contestants in the Week 1 Gallery

There are also heaps of other challenges and fun for all to be had, why don’t you come on over and check it out today!! You won’t be sorry you did LOL

Also the Layout competition is closed for round 1 and we have posted the voting poll HERE.

Here’s a sneak peek at the layouts from the contestants jockeying for a position in the Studio Creative Team, you can vote if you are a member at the Studio and in this poll you can vote 5 times

Mitsybelle’s Kit Autumn’s Kiss is just looking fabulous in all these layouts don’t you think? I’ll post the link to the poll thread as soon as it is up here is a small slide show of the layouts created for the contest this week, if you would like to take a closer look at them you can check them out HERE in the Layout Artist Competition Week 1 gallery

So onto other matters, Today is my 41st Birthday, well I am not sure how I feel about being in my 40′s rather than just being 40 I am now 40…something, which is kind of feeling like a downhill slide to 50 rofl. But I plan to have a good birthday LOL

Hubby bought me a trainer stand for my bike, which is what I asked for LOL. My butt is getting way too big sitting in this chair lately and the winter layers are thick too. Spring has sprung and it’s time to shed those layers, but I want to shed a few before riding my bike in Public. Sounds like he is out there mowing the lawn, so that’s nice!

NO idea what we will be doing today other than working out how to use the trainer and it’s blowing a gale outside so maybe it’s an inside day for me

Have a great day and see you at the Studio during September

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.

It’s a lot of fun

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.

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

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

Here’s a few pages I did with pics of my Dad using this kit, they are from a few years ago. When I made the kit

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend
