Seriously!

Really now...how pathetic am I that I can't keep my word for even a week?!! I promised to post every Monday and here it came and went with no blog completed! In my defense, I was toally thrown off kilter this week. You see, I live in Louisiana and Mardi Gras creates havoc. I didn't grow up here, so I couldn't care less about parades and all that, but my daycare is closed (Monday AND Tuesday because they're near the parade route!). That means I miss work because I'm home with my boy, and I forget what day it is because I'm too busy glorying in my 4 day weekend! So, here it is--Wenesday--and lots of catch-up blogging to do!

I realized last night about 1 am that I neglected to post pics of the kits I have in the Bits2Kits store. Here they are:

Don't forget to pick them up soon while they're still on sale! And remember you can purchase the papers and elements separate, if you don't want the complete kits!

I also uploaded several new products, which include Valentine themed stamps just in time for your Valentine's LOs!! Here's some previews:

Don't worry...I'll have a freebie for these to hand out either tonight or tomorrow, so check back!

The other new additions are templates. There are 3 packs in my "Words To Live By" collection so far. Each has 3 mats that are sized 11" or larger that feature a different inspirational word. There's also 3 coordinating frames. Use your own papers and be creative! I have plans for at least 3 more template packs, so please let me know how you like them! Here's the preview for the 3 that are already in the store:

In other news...I've been accepted as a designer in 2 more stores!! Yipee!!! www.designsindigital.com and www.hotspotscraps.com will soon house my products as well! I'm not quite there yet, so hold off visiting them! LOL

I've also been asked to stay on permanently for the Digital Freebies CT team (I had been on a 3 month guest spot), and I'm really excited about that! They're a fabulous group to work with! And I've been contacted by a designer from another site because she saw one of my galleries and liked it so much that she wants me on her personal CT team! Boy, when it rains, it pours!! With all this wonderful digiscrapping fortune heading my way, I sure hope some of it runs over into sales! hee hee The only disappointment I've had is not making it as Eva Kipler's new description writer. I made it to the top 5, but did not make the final cut. She's one of my all time favorite designers (goodness, I have almost all of her kits), so it would have been a dream working with her. However, I'm sure whoever she chose will be fabulous!

That's all for now, kiddos. Don't forget to look for that upcoming freebie! I'll even try to do a couple LOs with some of my products so you can see them in action! Till then....

My Store Is Open & I'm Giving You Freebies!

That's right...my store is FINALLY open at Bits2Kits. It took me forever to get some kits togather, but I've finally done it. OK, OK, I know what you're thinking...2 kits, big deal! But give me a break! I'm new at this!! Hopefully I'll be able to get more in there soon.

I have 4 QPs to offer you today as a little celebration freebie. There are two from each of the 2 kits I have in my store. Here's the first set:

You can download it here.

And this is the second set:

You can download it here.

This is the first Collection I'll be working on..."My Friends & Family" because where could I find an easier source of inspiration? I hope you enjoy the QPs and, if you do, head over to my store and look for new items soon!

Pledge for 2008

Well folks, I am a pitiful blogger! It's been over a MONTH since I've posted any new messages--and it's not like there hasn't been plenty going on! I have THOUGHT about posting, I have INTENDED to post...but neither of those count for much, do they? So my pledge to myself--and to all of you--for 2008, is to post more frequently. I'm designating Mondays as my posting day. I'll start there and, as time goes on, maybe I'll manage to post more often. With that said, let me get on with it!

My big news for this year is that I've been accepted as a designer at www.Bits2Kits.com !!! How exciting is that? While I absolutely LOVE to digiscrap, I think I like designing even more. let me rephrase that, I love everything about digiscrapping...working with other designer's items and coming up with my own. I have SO many ideas for kits (the themes behind them at least) that I figured I might as well share with the digiscrap community! I love the feeling of knowing that there are other people out there who enjoy my work and can make good use of it...and why not make a little extra money in the meantime?! At least then I won't be spending TOO much on digi products. I can use my earnings and reinvest them!!

With all the ideas I have, I lack the technique, the skill to pull it off. At least in my opinion, I am unable to make it look on the computer the way I see it in my mind. All that comes with time, I'm sure. And as I learn, I hope to branch out to other stores in the hopes of reaching a wider audience.

As I release kits into my store, I'll be offering freebies here to help promote it, so check back often! Also, complete the survey included with any item you purchase and receive a free Thank-You gift!

Hope to hear from a lot of you soon!
