Happy weekend people! I have been so busy this week that I only now, at 1:26 am, find myself almost done on the computer for tonight. Since the move I've been so busy running errands and picking up more stuff at where we used to live that it's seemed like an impossible act to be completely moved out!

Anyway, I present to you my newest kit! One of my faves, and I've had the pleasure of working with it already. If you see my previous post in this blog about the birthday of SDD, you can see I used this kit for the ad. I also have a free template in my store, where the LO I created using the template is made with this kit.

It's on sale through Sunday, for only $3 in my store at SDD.

SBB celebrates 7 yrs anniversary!

2010-01-22T02:10:00.000-08:00

Splish Splash, are you taking a bath?

2010-01-21T01:07:00.000-08:00

Did you ever have some specific pictures in mind and couldn't find the right kit for it? This recently happened to me. I have a bunch of bathtime pictures that I need to scrap, but hadn't come across a good kit for them. I went looking and couldn't really find anything I immediately fell in love with. I figured I'd suggest it to Shanmomto4 Designs, and she whipped up this gorgeous, but yet fun kit. A bathtime kit needs to encourage play, and this one certainly does!

It's called "Splash Time" and can be found at Sunshine Studio Scraps.

Also, Charlize Creations just released her new kit "Play it Again" over at Polka Dot Plum and Scrapbook Bytes. Here's my LO using her kit:

You can find Play it Again at PDP and SBB!

New Freebie Template for your P-365!

2010-01-11T14:32:00.001-08:00

So, how is your Project 365 going? I'm still up to date on mine, but I can see that this is gonna take some serious will power to keep up through out the year! Thinking how neat it will be to look back on a whole year like that is what keeps me wanting to so it. And with templates I'm sure it'll be easier. Which is why I'm determined to share some with you! It's hard to make a LO with 7 photos and journaling without making it look cluttered. But I really like how this template turned out. So I really hope you enjoy it as well.

Here's my LO created using the template:

And here's the template:

You can get it HERE. As always this file only contains a .psd file and 12x12 format.

Have a great day and remember to check back for more template freebies and other goodies that might show up ;)

Charlize Creations

2010-01-10T05:40:00.001-08:00

I'm proud and excited to announce that I've joined the CT of Charlize Creations. She's got some colorful and playful kits and I've already had the pleasure of working with 2 of these. She just opened her store at Polka Dot Plum and Scrapbook-bytes, as well as selling at Daydreamer Designworks!

New kit from Shanmomto4 Designs

2010-01-10T05:35:00.000-08:00

Another gorgeous kit from Shannon, a beautiful and well put-together kit that is perfect for your Project 365 LO's! Here's my take on it, and of course, my first LO of P-365!

You can get this new kit at Sunshine Studio Scarps. Get it quickly now while it's on sale!

New LO's made of BTA Designs' Templates!

2010-01-02T13:40:00.000-08:00

Since joining the BTA Designs crew, I've been able to play around with some awesome templates. One of my favorite things about templates, is that it force me to scrap out of the box, and it challenges me to add my special touch to them. However, if I really need to scrap a LO and don't have as much time as I'd like, templates are great for that purpose as well.

Anyway, my point is (yes I do have one *lol*), here's what I came up with using 2 of her template packs. You can now get them both at Scrapable and Enchanted Studio Scraps.

Kit: 4 The Boys by Designs by Jen Yurko

kit: Fancy Free by Shanmomto4 Designs *NEW*- released 1/1 at Scrapable

Kit: A Nature Walk by Mandy Mystiques

Kit: Once In A Blue Moon by Kasia Designs

Kit: Picture Your Life by Cardamome

Kit: Rainy Day Blues by Chaos Lounge

Kit: Funky Christmas Collab at Digital-Crea

Template Challenge at Shanmomto4 Designs' Forum!

2010-01-02T13:09:00.001-08:00

I'm on the CT for Shanmomto4 Designs and I'm a huge fan of her work. Therefor I gladly help her whenever possible, and this time I did a template for her challenge at her forum. It's for January and the rules are super simple. Plus, you get a free template and an awesome participation prize.

Here's a preview of the template and my LO created using it:

I created this template with P365 in mind. I will be doing it this year, and figured since it's a huge project, and time consuming, a lot of people might welcome the template *lol* I'll probably add more templates as freebies on my blog now and then that are specifically designed for P365.

Anyway, make sure you go and pick up this template at Shanmomto4 Designs' forum, which are located HERE! What a great way to start 2010, eh? ;)

BTA Designs

2009-12-27T03:09:00.000-08:00

I'm slowly getting back into the digital scrapbooking world, and I'm loving it. I've also started printing my LO's which has definitely given me a new drive to get back into the game. So I took the plundge and applied to BTA Designs for her new CT! I'm happy to announce that I made it! Thank you Breanne, for giving me a chance! Her designs are mostly templates, and they are so detailed and well made! I hope you check out her stuff, which you can find at Scrapable and soon Enchanted Studio Scraps!

I'm sure I'll be sharing a lot of her templates so stay on the look out! Here's 3 of my LO's created using her templates, from a template pack 7:

Kit: Mele Kalikimeke Collab at Scrapable

Kit: Chocolately Goodness by Designs by Jen Yurko

Kit: Dreaming Of You by Shanmomto4 Designs

Random LO's

2009-12-27T02:46:00.000-08:00

I've gotten my first digital scrapbook printed. It's for my son and his first year. While I had a lot of LO's saved on my harddrive, I still had to create some new LO's to fill some special occasions. When I started creating digital LO's I didn't think I'd ever get them printed, so I've saved some of my files too small. Anyway, here's a few of my newer LO's:

My first double pages using no template, kit: Another Year Older by Shanmomto4 Designs

Kit: Sweet Slumber by Mandy Mystiques

Kit: Chocolatey Goodness by Designs by Jen Yurko

Template: from Songbird Avenue - by Jan Crowley

Kit: Sweetness by Bèa Scrap and Design

Sweet Christmas Freebie

2009-12-21T06:34:00.001-08:00

Here's my christmas gift to you. A mini kit freebie. Not a whole lot, but a little something. Hope you like it.

Download HERE

One week and it's Christmas!

2009-12-18T16:52:00.000-08:00

Can you believe it's only another week and then it's Christmas already!? Woah, even with the tree up, the house decorated, Christmas songs on the stereo, it's still a little strange to think how close it is. I'm so excited this year because my son is 20 mos old instead of 8 months old, and will hopefully have a wonderful day! I can't wait to see his face and expressions and see if he enjoys all his new toys! He's done well this year, too well. So Mommy has to save some gifts for his birthday and next Christmas.

Anyway, my point with this post, is that on Monday, the 21st, I will give you guys my gift to you this year. It's a little mini freebie, but hopefully enjoyed never the less. I haven't had a chance to design anything since October was it? I'm excited to get it out there to you guys.

And I have some fun updates to give to you, so stay tuned and check in every once in a while between christmas dinners, wrapping papers and champagne! ;)

Template Freebie!

2009-12-13T14:51:00.000-08:00

I have a new freebie for you. It's been too long, so I hope you enjoy this. It's a template this time. I enjoy making templates, almost as much as I enjoy using them myself. It does give you new ideas and ways of thinking while creating. At least it does to me. This download version only contains a .psd file so it does require photoshop. I'm sorry for any inconvenience that may cause.

To make sure the template was good to go, I used it myself and created this LO using it:

I used Shanmomto4 Designs kit named "Dreaming of you". Isn't it just gorgeous? I absolutely recommend checking out her stuff at Scrapable. She is awesome.

Anyway, here's the template. No fancy packaging, but you get the idea non the less :)

Download HERE

Make sure you leave a comment if you download, and I'd love to see a gallery link if you use it!

Shanmomto4 Designs released this adorable winter kit last week. It's cute, with fun and whimsical inspired snowmen. Lots of fun little details in this kit. This kit is available at Scrapable!

Update!

2009-12-09T07:54:00.000-08:00

Well, this fall has been busy, crazy and somewhat of a rollecoaster ride for me personally. I was so excited to start selling my products and creations over at Enchanted Studio Scraps, but it appearantly was not the right time for me. On top of being overloaded, my computer was fried and took an eternity to fix. I was very happy and glad to pick it up today.

I did resign from ESS. It was a tough decision, but the only fair one to the rest of the team on the site. I also did resign from my CT positions with Jen Yurko Deigns and Un-Leash-ed-Scraps. They were 2 awesome designers and I miss creating for them.

I stayed with Shanmomto4 Designs, and I'll be adding a ton of LO's using her products from now on. Since I'm not selling my products anymore, there will also be posted some freebies at various times as well as templates.

I hope to start selling again some day, but as for when, I'm not sure. For now I hope you enjoy the freebies that will pop up here and there as well as my other creations using Shanmomto4 Designs' products!

Have a wonderful December everyone :)

My Tribute to my CT's

2009-09-25T12:01:00.000-07:00

I don't post nearly often enough about my awesome CT's and the designers. I don't post my LO's enough here on my blog, which I should, to make sure as many people as possible saw these gorgeous kits that I have a chance to work with. I don't make sure I always post when they are having sales and specials. But I do absolutely LOVE my teams, and here's my tribute post!

Shanmomto4 Designs:
A ton of talent in a sweet, caring package. Her kits are always sweet, fun and caring, you can't go wrong! With a wide variety of themes and colors, she creates kits for all occasions. You get awesome value in her kits. Even though some of her kits might *seem* girly, I have managed to create a LO with my SON's picture in it, each and every time! So don't let those elements with pink on them scare you. One more thing that's absolutely worth to mention, my blog dedicated to my son; Birkville, wears one of her kits, called "Zoom Zoom". She currently sells at Sunshine Studio Scraps, Scrapable and Ahhh Scrap! However, she is about to close her shop at Ahhh Scrap, so you can make some great deals over there for a limited time.

Designs by Jen Yurko:
This chick is full of energy and a bucket of laughs, and you can totally tell in her kits! They are fun, imaginative, and you can't help but giggle when you see LO's made with her work. Most of her kits are gender neutral, and versatile. Very unique and fun elements in her kits, makes her work so fun and different. She's done some amazing collabs with other great designers, and she contributes to a fun, happy environment in the digi scrap world. Jen currently sells at Inspiration Lane as well as the newly opened Daydreamer Designworks.

Un-Leash-ed-Scraps:
When my son was born, I had someone make me a siggy at a parenting board. This someone was Leasha and she got me interested in making my own siggies. It all evolved from there. Leasha has an eye for details and elements. She knows placement and clustering like no other. I think personally, because of that, she has some amazing elements in her kits. There's a little bit of everything and her kits are perfect for those cluster LO's. She's been busy this summer and with computer issues, there's been fewer kits released from her. However, the ones that she does release are absolute goodies! She currently sells at Ahhh Scrap!

Thank you so much to these designers, that have given me the chance and oppertunity to work with their kits. I hope that although I might not post and promote or enable as often as I absolutely should, I do my best and love to be one of your team members. Thank you!

Sneak Peak - ESS Mega for October!

News!

2009-07-25T05:42:00.000-07:00

I am so excited to say that I did apply for an opening over at Enchanted Studio Scraps! They are having a designer call and requesting a mini kit from all the designers that are applying. I entered mine yesterday, and was pretty happy with the outcome. I did also create a QP with it to make sure I could scrap a decent LO with it. I usually have a hard time using my own kits but I did pretty well with this one I think.

If I do get accepted at ESS I will make this mini kit a whole full kit, if not I might add it to my blog as a freebie for a while until I apply at another store I'd like to sell at. You know me, I'm picky *lol* The QP will no matter what end up as a freebie on my blog, so keep an eye out for it!

And, some more excited news! Are you ready for August 1st? The Half Baked Girls blogtrain will be released and my part is done and ready! We are continuing the theme from last month, which is "Book of Me". That also means, if you did catch the last train, you'll end up with a super huge awesome freebie kit if you collect the parts this month! Woohoo! :)

So, what else. I joined the JM Collab kit, and here's a sneak peak of my part, I made a paper pack!

I'm not sure when this will be released, but everyone were to have their part ready by Aug.1st, so it shouldn't be too long before it's ready and up! I'll post more about this when I know more details around this.

Well, that's it! Have a wonderful weekend everyone. I'm barely holding up due to serious sleep issues caused by my 15 month old! Life is great! ;)

New freebie - my first photomasks!

2009-07-25T05:18:00.000-07:00

I just created my first set of photomasks! I have really been enjoying using various masks myself lately, so I figured I should give it a go to make my own. Here's my first set of photomasks! Enjoy! :)

Buy my store sale!

2009-07-22T11:45:00.000-07:00

This is an absolutely amazing deal. Royanna has a ton of awesome CU products. She is currently really struggling (about to live out of her car for a while!!) so not only will you be able to get a ton of great CU items, you would also be helping someone that truly needs it right now. Another designer at the store has also paired up with her, and basically says if you buy the store, you get hers for free. All you have to do is email her the invoice at; cyndi@divinedigital.com Her store can be found here: http://divinedigital.com/boutique/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=71
Another great designer with a ton of awesome CU items.

These $25 will be one of the best you ever spent!

New kit - Artistic Mind

2009-07-18T13:13:00.001-07:00

I have had this kit laying around and decided now was the time to get this up and posted and ready. Well, here it is. Also, it's now named and thanks to those that gave name suggestions. I ended up going with "Dottie Cool", I think that one fits pretty well. Naming kits are not my strongest side, I have to admit.

I will also be posting some new layouts these next couple of days, and keep your eyes open for the Half Baked Girls blog train! It's being released on June 1st!

Well, here's the kit! Enjoy, and as always, I would love to see what you create with it!

My take on the template

2009-05-21T06:05:00.000-07:00

I was able to give my template a try today. Here it is. I also gave it my first try to use my kit Lily. I have to admit that I think the colors in this kit is a little too bright for my liking *lol* Not that it wasn't fun to create. But I'll do some more subtle colors from here on.

Template freebie

2009-05-20T13:23:00.000-07:00

I just created my first template today. Sometimes I love to work with templates because they give you new ways and ideas to work a layout. I hope my template will do the same for you! I have not had the chance to create a layout using this template yet, so I'm sorry for no preview. I will try to get one done tomorrow though. This is saved as a .psd file.

Anywhoo, about snips and snails. I started off with this kit wanting it to be a total boy kit! I now see that it's not the best as far as the animals go, they are quite different. But all boy-ish still. I hope some of you will however be able to use it.

I did give it a go myself and whipped up a layout last night. Here it is:
