September freebie!

Today I have two things on the agenda:

1) to show off some layouts created from kits by Amy Sumrall, who I have recently begun stalking... at least on her blog and new store at the-LilyPad!

2) to present my September paper freebie!

So first off, Amy Sumrall! I love her designs!!! Her work screams of doodley fun-ness! I hadn't heard of CU free designers before Amy. CU free means that she does all her own work. You are not getting another designer's work recycled and revamped. It's awesome and a challenge for me as a designer to do the same! I've done several different layouts with various kits this week, and have another still in progress...

In other news, my computer, my good ol' CPU, decided to crash. Like it made sounds like it was going to start up, but it just wouldn't run. No picture on the screen, nothing. Good thing I save everything on my EHD! :) So I got adventuresome and bought an iMac. I'm still learning all the quirks, but so far, it's not too shabby!!! I am working with PSE4 for Mac, which is not the best, but it works... I really want to drastically upgrade to CS4. Sigh... I can dream!

Click here for your freebie! Sorry, the link has expired. You can still purchase them from my store! And please note that after next month (October), I will begin to remove links to freebies, since I will be selling these papers! Have a great day!

Free QPs and continued one kit call!

I put together a few QPs from my kit "Shiny Happy People" to share with you all!

But before I give you todays freebie, take a closer look at my newest kit.This kit stretched me as a designer. I've never really tried a doodle-type kit, but I am fascinated by them! It was really fun do and brought out my creativity.

My one-kit call is still open, if you are interested in doing a layout (or two), please click here for more info!

Nail Polish Splatters Freebie and Other News

First things first. Right now EVERYTHING at Pretty Scrappy is 25% off and there is a contest going on:

In other news, I've had a blast trying out some new actions and styles over the past few weeks. Here is a new action from Mega-Doodle Inspired, a Dump Truck action!!! My little boys thought this was like a video game. They wanted me to create dump trucks over and over again, and helped me pick out the colors. :)

Bannerwoman has also released some new styles. I LOVE the Parched Paper and Worn Edges styles. I'm always trying to find a way to add realistic texture to my papers. If I layer these with different colors or patterns, I get some really interesting looks.

This next style is really cool. It's a pearl style, but I heard someone say that it looks a bit like spilled nail polish.

I adjusted the inner glow on some shapes and made some nail polish splatters to share today! Click here for your freebie!

Happy New Year! January freebie

Happy New Year! The fireworks are blasting all around my house here in Germany as I am typing. I decided that this year I'd make a different resolution instead of my same old usual resolutions such as "lose weight", or the one I've had every year since I was ten, "stop biting my nails". This year, my goal is to be more positive. That means I want to choose to focus on what is good in my kids, my husband, my family, my friends, my job, and MYSELF. :)

I made a January paper to share with you. I will be posting a monthly paper each month, and eventually will sell them all as a set, so check back and nab 'em while they are free! Click on the picture to get your freebie! Sorry, the link has expired. You can still purchase them from my store!

New Kit: Let's Hear It for the Boys! And freebie QP!

I have finally found time to complete another kit. I LOVE how this turned out. 6 tattered solid papers, 13 patterned papers, and 30 elements! It was (obviously) designed with guys in mind. I have 3 little guys of my own and a big one as well so I'll be scrappin' with this!

You can find this kit in both of my stores: Pretty Scrappy and Ahhh Scrap (40% off at both stores until Sun Oct 26th along with all my products)!





These tattered solids are included in the kit, but I'm also selling them separately for people who may not need the entire kit. You can get just the paper pack at Pretty Scrappy or Ahhh Scrap(don't forget - 40% off until Sun Oct 26th at either store).

Heather of HS Designs put together a SWEET Quick Page for you all using this kit! She's a very talented designer, and I love her work! Be sure to check out her digi-kits when you have a chance. Click on the pic below to get your QP! And please leave a comment, I love to hear from you all.
