Here's my stop on the hop! I've been super busy the last  few months. I had to take a hiatus to get our house ready to sell, so I  haven't been designing much lately. But I have some really cute stuff in  the works. My goal was to have it done by this weekend to showcase it  during the blog hop, but mother nature had other ideas. We were out of  power from Monday morning until Friday morning all last week! So while I  had all the time in the world, I couldn't do anything :(&lt;img src="https://s-static.ak.facebook.com/images/blank.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt; But!

If not, I'll bet you've noticed an abundance of pink around you. More and more businesses are creating products specially designed to raise awareness and donations for Breast Cancer Research every year. And this year, the designers at Digi Scraps Drive-In have decided to join the crusade. We've not only created a beautiful charity collab kit, but we've built an entire weekend Scrapathon around it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Charity Scrapathon runs from Thursday, October 21 &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;to&lt;/span&gt; Sunday, October 24.  Anyone can scrap along, but to be eligible for &lt;a href="http://www.digiscrapsdrivein.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5979" target="_blank"&gt;the prizes&lt;/a&gt;, you need to have purchased Courage, the charity collab kit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kit is only $6, which (after Paypal fees) goes entirely to Breast Cancer research. After you purchase this kit, you are eligible to compete in the Scrapathon. Depending on how many challenges you complete, you can earn coupons, a site collab, and a chance to win &lt;a href="http://digiscrapsdrivein.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=79" target="_blank"&gt;Jen C Designs&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://digiscrapsdrivein.com/store/C.W.-Picket-and-Co./" target="_blank"&gt;C.W.

So we've cooked up a month of games, challenges, and of course, party favors!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To kick off our month-long Birthday Bash, we are hosting a Progressive Blog Hop Challenge.  Here is how it works:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;follow our Progressive Blog Hop, picking up each mini along the way.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Create a layout using at least one piece from each mini (more if you wish)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Upload your LO to our Birthday Bash gallery, and link it back to the &lt;a href="http://www.digiscrapsdrivein.com/forums/showthread.php?p=73275#post73275" target="_blank"&gt;Progressive Blog Hop Challenge thread&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you complete this challenge, you will receive a loot bag that coordinates with the blog hop minis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But don't stop there! We will be hosting challenges and events all month long. You can pick up several more loot bags, and have a huge celebration themed mega kit when the month is done. We will be posting new challenges all month, so keep your eyes on the &lt;a href="http://www.digiscrapsdrivein.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=161" target="_blank"&gt;Birthday Bash forum&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll probably want to keep an eye on &lt;a href="http://digiscrapsdrivein.com/store/home.php" target="_blank"&gt;the store&lt;/a&gt; too, for the great sales &amp;amp; promotions going on. We will have a new sale each week, starting with a Toonie sale. If you aren't Canadian and haven't heard of the Toonie, it is $2. (This idea came from our 2 Canadian Designers Jewel &amp;amp; Jen in their quest to educate the rest of the world about Toonies!) I'm not spilling about what the future week's sales will be, but they are going to be awesome!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that the business is out of the way, let the fun begin!  Here is my mini:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.digiscrapsdrivein.com/gallery/data/585/preview9.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.digiscrapsdrivein.com/gallery/data/585/preview9.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog hop is over, but you can still visit the &lt;a href="http://www.digiscrapsdrive-in.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=161"&gt;Drive In&lt;/a&gt; for lots of Birthday Bash fun and games!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have fun, and I'll see you around the Drive In!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6423829702806274155-6635285822489879095?l=mellyscraps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/feeds/6635285822489879095/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/2010/08/happy-birthday-dsdi-blog-hop-stop.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6423829702806274155/posts/default/6635285822489879095'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6423829702806274155/posts/default/6635285822489879095'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/2010/08/happy-birthday-dsdi-blog-hop-stop.html' title='Happy Birthday DSDI!!

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.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;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...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So here are some layouts I've done with kits from Christie Lemmon Designs. The first one is &lt;a href="http://inspiration-lane.com/boutique/product.php?productid=17752&amp;amp;cat=0&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;Brighter Days&lt;/a&gt;, available at Inspiration Lane.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4dN1jVY_I/AAAAAAAAASs/6TuJe--vUXM/s1600-h/morning+song.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4dN1jVY_I/AAAAAAAAASs/6TuJe--vUXM/s400/morning+song.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372263529050366962" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4dNRRom3I/AAAAAAAAASk/HZHAzjxRUK0/s1600-h/Sweet+Nicole.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4dNRRom3I/AAAAAAAAASk/HZHAzjxRUK0/s400/Sweet+Nicole.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372263519312452466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These were done with Christie's kit &lt;a href="http://inspiration-lane.com/boutique/product.php?productid=18374&amp;amp;cat=0&amp;amp;page=2"&gt;Rock With U&lt;/a&gt;, also available at Inspiration Lane.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4eNbiN8WI/AAAAAAAAATM/N4bb6LDxlsc/s1600-h/irock.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4eNbiN8WI/AAAAAAAAATM/N4bb6LDxlsc/s400/irock.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372264621577990498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4eM1Be9WI/AAAAAAAAATE/rCxTr7xGF3A/s1600-h/rockband-duo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4eM1Be9WI/AAAAAAAAATE/rCxTr7xGF3A/s400/rockband-duo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372264611240146274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6423829702806274155-6787064735529401447?l=mellyscraps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/feeds/6787064735529401447/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/2009/08/where-in-world-have-i-been.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6423829702806274155/posts/default/6787064735529401447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6423829702806274155/posts/default/6787064735529401447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/2009/08/where-in-world-have-i-been.html' title='Where in the world have I been???'/><author><name>Mel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18171383115691640210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/SfU6_aZx0wI/AAAAAAAAAQc/cFLhKZaBY60/S220/Mel.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/So4dN1jVY_I/AAAAAAAAASs/6TuJe--vUXM/s72-c/morning+song.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423829702806274155.post-7585090257260555199</id><published>2009-05-16T10:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T10:08:37.326-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Such Sad News</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!

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!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.digitalcandy.us/shoppe/image.php?type=P&amp;amp;id=3542"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.digitalcandy.us/shoppe/image.php?type=P&amp;amp;id=3542" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.digitalcandy.us/gallery/data/500/having_a_ball1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.digitalcandy.us/gallery/data/500/having_a_ball1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also did a layout with Calalily Designs kit Happy Go Lucky.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.digitalcandy.us/shoppe/image.php?type=P&amp;amp;id=3517"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.digitalcandy.us/shoppe/image.php?type=P&amp;amp;id=3517" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.digitalcandy.us/gallery/data/500/chillaxin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.digitalcandy.us/gallery/data/500/chillaxin.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6423829702806274155-4251054259480041915?l=mellyscraps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/feeds/4251054259480041915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-easter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6423829702806274155/posts/default/4251054259480041915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6423829702806274155/posts/default/4251054259480041915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mellyscraps.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-easter.html' title='Happy Easter!'/><author><name>Mel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18171383115691640210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Dp_w2c0egrk/SfU6_aZx0wI/AAAAAAAAAQc/cFLhKZaBY60/S220/Mel.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423829702806274155.post-6527984347185410808</id><published>2009-04-04T15:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-04T16:52:45.848-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Crazy Sales</title><content type='html'>So, I'm on the CT for &lt;a href="http://www.digitalcandy.us/shoppe/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=66"&gt;Christie Lemmon Designs&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.digitalcandy.us/shoppe/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=67"&gt;Steel City Scraps&lt;/a&gt;, both at Digital Candy, and they are having CRAZY sales this month!
