Good Saturday Everyone!!!

I haven’t posted in quite a few days, but I have a good reason.  My daughters baby shower is today and I’ve been preparing things for it.  There have also been several other things I’ve been doing as far as designing goes.

First, I created a new kit that took me a little more than a day to complete.  Kits don’t usually come that fast for me, it usually takes 2-3 days but this one just flew out.  It’s really rustic and fun.  I created it with boys/guys/men in mind so it pretty much fits males of any age.  This is the first kit I’ve done like this and I’m pretty happy with it.

Here is one of the elements at 100% so you can see the detail in the metals.

Then yesterday started my time as Featured Designer at YourDigitalDesigners.com which is pretty cool too.  All of my product are 30% off and that even includes my Designer Planner!  It brought the price down to $12.25 and that’s the lowest it’s ever been.  So if you are looking to purchase it, now’s the time!

I also got ambitious this morning and created a layout with my Controlled Chaos kit.  It’s kind of hard to see everything thats in the kit in the preview because there is so much.  Hopefully this will give everyone an idea.

Since I created the layout, I’ve been thinking of all the things that I can do with this kit.  Cards jumped to mind and I’m also thinking I could to a hybrid book for my son, who is going to be 20 in February.  Ew….now I feel old.

OH, I knew there was something I was forgetting to mention.  ScrapProfessor.com has started having new products released on Fridays and they will be on sale 20% off until Sunday.  I think that’s a GREAT deal!!!  SO this weekend, my Controlled Chaos kit is up at SP only, and on sale for 20% off until Sunday.  You won’t be able to find it anywhere else until sometime next week and then it won’t be on sale, so you might want to check it out.

Well, I am off to finish preparing for the Baby Shower, which starts at 3:00.  I’ll post some pictures after it’s over so everyone can see.  Also, I had a question on how to use the freebie papers that I gave in your normal scrapping, if your a paper scrapper.  So I’m going to be putting together a little tutorial for that within the next couple of days.  SO watch for it if you need some tips.

Have a great day!!!

There is also a pretty good deal going on where if you spend $10 in the store you get a Collab kit for free.  It’s a pretty good one here, but don’t take my word for it…go and check it out for yourself.  Here is a sneak peak at my part:

So I’ve spent the day today, lazing around, having a nice, relaxing day.  I decided to go blog hopping around some blogs that I’ve never seen before.  I’m always looking for something new to dissect and make into my own little project.  I found a blog from someone that does a lot of stamping and she had several blogs listed that she likes to visit.  I literally spend 80% of today surfing those blogs.  Here is what I found… I’m a total blog snob!  If the blog itself isn’t visually appealing right off the bat, I click back and move to the next one.  I found that the one thing that I can’t stand is blogs that are really wide and have nothing other than white space, with a sidebar full of links and nothing more.  For some reason, that’s a little to simplistic to me.  Maybe its just a matter of someone that doesn’t do very much on the internet and most of their craft is paper based or something like that….but it still bugs me.  I’m probably missing something awesome by clicking back and not looking forward.  I guess I’ll never know.

Christmas was wonderful and as always, over before I knew it.  We had dinner at my parents house and the food was just amazing.  My mom did something different this year and made salmon, tri-tip, asparagus, baked potatoes and other wonderful veggies.  It was different from our normal turkey dinner and while I wasn’t looking forward to it at first because it wasn’t “traditional” I’m glad that she did it!  Way to go MOM!!

I’m hoping to get some things done tomorrow to show off.  I’m working on Baby Shower invitations for my daughter.  She is due in February and we’re having the shower January 26th. She’s chosen a “Pea Pod” theme so I’ve been working on coming up with a design that she loves.  I finally found something today and got everything drawn up and printing. Now I just need to color it, cut it, ink it and create the envelopes.  Should be a cake walk

Keep an eye out tomorrow and I’ll update with some pictures of the invites…and maybe some new ideas I have rolling around in my head.

…Hopefully, it won’t come to that.

I have a fabulous new place to call HOME!  Joli, also known as “ScrapProfessor” has spent days on creating me this wonderful new site.  It’s exactly what I wanted and it’s exactly me.  I seriously couldn’t be happier.  I’ll still be at my Digital homes (ScrapProfessor.com, ACherryOnTop.com & DivineDigital.com) and I still have both of my Etsy shops, of course, but I’ll eventually be selling here on my own site as well.

This will be much different though.  I’m going to sell all the wonderful things that I come up with.  The site will be an eclectic selection with a little something for everyone.  I’m thinking I’ll even pop up some tutorials from time to time.  Of course there will be freebies, and deals and sales, and, and, and who really knows what else.  There is so much going on up there in my head, this is going to be a great place to get it all out….clean out the attic so to speak.

Christmas is coming just a little to quickly this year.  I mean, I know that it’s the same time every year, and that people that plan well are always ahead of the game and normally, I’m a planner.  For some reason, this year, I’m not a planner…  I’m scattered all over the place with no direction whatsoever and it’s driving me WILD!  I seriously have 5 gifts purchased.  Three of them are  for my nephew who’s 7 and easy peasy to buy for. Honestly, I don’t even have a plan and Christmas is only 7 (OMG) days away.  Oh, that just made it even worse.  Now that I’ve counted, and I know it’s only 7 days away, I feel even more frantic than before.  HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??? I guess I better get my act together.

WOW!

I wanted to take a minute to point out some really cool features that Joli installed into WordPress for me.  If you check out the sidebar on the right, there is a link called “New Product Gallery” and you really should check it out.  Right now there are only 2 things in there (actually, its two photos for the same product) but it’s really cool and gives you the link right to the product.  So keep an eye on that because I’ll be filling that little sucker up everytime I have something new.

She also put up the link to one of my ETSY shops, and I’ll get the other one up there ASAP. I now also have a newsletter!!  I’m super excited about that.  I will be using that not only to send out news (which seems obvious and probably didn’t need to be said) but also to send out exclusive coupon codes for products and information on sales and good stuff like that.  I promise not to fill your inbox with newsletters, I’ll try to keep it to once a week.

That’s it for now.  Drop me a comment so I know that you were here.

Thanks for stopping by….
