New Facebook Page!

As you can see, I'm no good at blogging. (hanging my head in shame)

So, I've created a Facebook page, where I'll continue to update you all on my new products, sales, store events, freebies, etc. And if you become a fan before Dec. 28th, you'll receive this set of holiday cards AND be entered in a drawing to win a $5 coupon to my store!

Look forward to seeing you all there!

New Products!!!

Fall is in the air! (and I fear winter is closer than it should be) The trees are turning gorgeous colors, the days are shorter, and pumpkins are popping up everywhere. I miss summer, but I really do love fall. I'm happy it's here and have been enjoying almost every minute of it.

I've been a busy bee this month! I've got a few new products over at DSDI and they're all on sale for a limited time, so be sure to check them out!!

Candy Cornucopia is my new Halloween kit.

Here are some layouts my awesome CT made for me!

From Lindsey

From Sandy

And here's my little chicken from last year!

I also have some fun new alphas. The Candy Corn Alpha is also included in the kit Candy Cornucopia.

These are my new brad alphas.

Keep checking back! I've got lots of new kits in the works!

Friday Night Speed Scrap at DSDI!

I'm hosting a speed scrap this Friday night at Digi Scraps Drive In! Click HERE to access the forum. Hope to see you there!

I'M BACK!!!

Well, it's finally happening! I've been working hard with some great ladies, and I'm happy to announce the Grand Opening of Digi Scraps Drive In!

There's lots of stuff going on for our Grand Opening! It's also the "official" opening of our new store. I'm proud to design along side some very talented ladies. I'm also hosting a speed scrap Friday night at 10pm EST, so don't miss it!!

I've also been doing a little CT business. Here are a couple layouts I've done for Rachel of Steel City Scraps. Her newest kit called Ladybug Picnic is just adorable!

I'm also having CT call, so if you're interested, please apply!

I think that's about it for now! Hope to see you around at the new site this weekend!!

Have a great week :)

Where in the world have I been???

Well... I'm not sure! I've been on and around, here and there, but now I'm back! I'm back to CT-ing and I'm LOVING it! As for designing, I'm kinda on hold with that right now. I was involved with getting a new site up and running, and there has been a lot going on with the owner, so things haven't moved as smoothly as first expected. So I will eventually be a designer there, but the store isn't quite ready yet.

I've also taken some much needed family time. My daughter just turned 3 and has literally turned my world upside down! Hubby has been working a lot, so the time we get to spend together is precious. The lower level of our tri-level home flooded again this summer, and we're finally getting things back to normal. I still don't have a desk :( but it's coming. We're getting the final paperwork to the insurance company (as I type this, actually) so... it's all coming back together.

I also started back at work after a long layoff. It's good to be back in the swing of things. I hate to see summer come to an end, especially after it took so long to get here, but I'm ready for fall and apples, and pumpkins, and Halloween and Thanksgiving...

So here are some layouts I've done with kits from Christie Lemmon Designs. The first one is Brighter Days, available at Inspiration Lane.

These were done with Christie's kit Rock With U, also available at Inspiration Lane.

Such Sad News

So as many of you have heard, Digital Candy, as well as the Sweet Tart Shoppe is closing. There is a lot of drama behind the decision of the owners to close the sites, and while I can't say I do or do not support the decision, it's one that deeply saddens me. Digital Candy was my first and only digi scrap home, and I will truly miss everyone from the site.

However! I'm currently involved in a very fun project involving a group of talented ladies (from Digital Candy), to start our own digital scrapping site! I can't give out any secrets right now, but you can be certain, it's going to be a lot of fun! I'll let you know more when I can!

Have a Happy Saturday!

Gettin' Ready

I've been working so hard at getting things ready for the store opening, which is FRIDAY!!! Woo Hoo! It's also the beginning of National Scrapbooking Day Weekend, and at Digital Candy, we've got tons of stuff planned for you. So be sure to stop on by! I'll have 5 new kits in my store, and I'm hoping to have a freebie for you before opening day as well.

I actually did manage to find some time to work on some of my CT stuff, so here's those layouts. The kit I used is called Spring Happiness, and it's a collab between Christie Lemmon Designs and Steel City Scraps. So awesome! Check it out HERE.

The Secret's Out!

That's right! I'm going to have my own store! Yay! In fact, if you hadn't noticed, my blog was created using my new kit "Icing".  It will be one of 5 new products in my store. So, come and check out my designs starting May 1st!

Happy Easter!

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted much here over at my new blog. I've been a busy little bee lately!! Doing what??? Well, you'll just have to wait and see! I'll reveal my secret on or around May 1st. In the mean time, I hope you had a Happy Easter! I also got around to scrapping a couple pages for my CT. Here's one using Crayon Box - it's one of Christie's first kits, and it's been revamped, so it's better than ever!

I also did a layout with Calalily Designs kit Happy Go Lucky.

Crazy Sales

So, I'm on the CT for Christie Lemmon Designs and Steel City Scraps, both at Digital Candy, and they are having CRAZY sales this month! Check them out below!

I also have two coupons for you to use!
