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!
