And amidst all the craziness of today; I managed to get my element pack all finished up! It will also be included in tomorrow's sale :)



Woohoo!! Feeling good! :)

Infamous Alpha Brushes : )

So, everyone is asking me about these. They want to know where they are, and if they will ever be available again; So, Here is the deal. I wasn't going to sell them anymore because of a not so nice thread over in the DST designer's forum. Apparently; They look too much like the real thing, and that was making other designers question my methods.. It was hurtful, and I deleted the brushes from my shoppe out of anger.

I don't think anyone was trying to be particularly mean, and honestly, I felt like they were just wanting me to divulge how I created them. So. I have decided not to sell them anymore; because I don't have the energy to deal with the false implications. Honestly, I have enough drama in my personal life; and I do not need any more added to it. So, hopefully, this isn't too much information! And I am NOT trying to be snarky, I am trying to take the higher road; :0)

So; the alphas are no longer for sale; However; That does not mean I can't just give them away :) Infamous Alpha Brushes

So, here they are in all their hand painted glory :)

Enjoy them, Use them, Party On.

Where is the LOVE? :)

I've been having a series of bad days. It's really been bumming me out. I haven't even felt like working on my element pack for my 'Feeling Groovy' Paper set. I am more than half way done with it; but I just don't feel like working..
Thought that maybe blogging will help?

I did however take a moment to scrap last night :)



Man, I love scrapping! I need to keep reminding myself that it is the reason why I got into this business in the first place.. It's easy to lose track of that.. So I am trying my hardest to take more time to scrap. Heaven knows I will NEVER have a lack of photos.. My problem is always choosing which ones are my favorites.. I have only been scrapping my favorite photos.. And I have yet to scrap birthdays or holidays.. I scrapped both of my DD's 1st birthdays; but that is pretty much it..

But I have NEVER been a chronological scrapper.. I have only ever just scrapped what moves me to scrap it; KWIM?

But I do have to ask; has anyone else noticed the lack of layout love in the galleries?? Do you think the problem is too many galleries?? Everyone is posting the same layouts in every gallery so comments are spread thin?? Or are less and less people commenting and more and more people posting?? What's up with that.. Just wondering really. I know that for myself; when ever I upload a new layout; I spend ten minutes or so commenting on other layouts.. And whenever I see a layout that just WOWs me; I always send off a quick comment..

I know that comments are not why we scrap.. But I think they are certainly why we upload to a million galleries :) And I know that for myself.. Those galleries that I upload to and only ever get one or two comments, I stop frequenting.. Just my two cents..

Hmm.. Maybe our digital community is starting to lose that homey small town feeling?
Gasp! I hope that is not the case.. Maybe everyone is just out getting ready for the kiddies to go back to school.. I guess only time will tell..

Costume Shopping..And other crazy ramblings..

So I did a little Halloween shopping today; I picked up the CUTEST little Witchie Costume for Lorynn. Oh she is going to look SO ADORABLE!! I always shop early for Halloween because I HATE having to pick through costumes at the store. And with Lorynn's birthday actually on Halloween, we always go all-out with a huge costume party for friends and family.

Gasp! Oh, my baby is going to be THREE!! YIKES! Where did that time go?? Hmm, maybe it's time to start thinking about baby number 3??

OMG. Did I just say that out loud? No. I am NOT making any kind of announcement. Lori, if you are reading this; put down the phone.. You DO NOT need to form an intervention.. I'm OK. I was just saying..)

Anyway..I still haven't decided what I am going to be this year.. Last year I waited too long to decide and ended up being a not so creative Angel; But at the last minute I threw on my 'Creative Goddess' T-shirt and proclaimed myself a creative goddess with wings.. Yeah. Well.. It worked ;)

But I think I will be a bit more enthusiastic this year.. So I am starting to put those wheels in motion :) But, I am at least HAPPY TO SAY, that I have FINALLY!! talked Brenna out of being another Disney Princess. YEAH!! (Nothing against Disney, or Princess!) She has just been a different Disney Princess for 4 years running now! And I'd like to see her be something else!

Now, if I can just keep her away from the costume aisle at Costco.. We will be in good shape! :)

Savoir Faire :)

I just finished up my paper and element set; Savoir Faire. I am loving these colors!





There are in the shoppe now, and all of you Muse Subscribers; Don't forget to use your 20% off coupon, good until August 16th! :)

YEAH!!

I am SO glad that the weekend is here! I am ready to just veg-out. Brenna is now off track and we have three weeks of no school or anything.. Aaahhh.. I love having nowhere to go, and I have missed having Brenna home.

These last three weeks of having her in school all day have been such a hard transition for all of us. She comes home completely wound up; and has a hard time grounding herself again. Everything is drama..

So I am looking forward to these next three weeks as we finish out our summer. We are just going to RELAX.. And enjoy each other.

I am off to watch; 'Everything is Illuminated' with my hubby!
(I love late-night movie watchin'!) ~Night!

So What's the Good News??

I have the official 'green light' to tell you the good news at ScrapArtist! :)

Starting next week, Kim Christensen will be selling her wonderful designs EXCLUSIVELY at ScrapArtist!

YEAH!

We are so excited to have her! Kim's ubber talented designs and fun personality make her the perfect fit for us!

Pop on over to her blog and give her a great big Welcome!! :)

COOL BEANS!!

Still tweeking my new kit. Should have it up in the shoppe in the next couple of days, but I wanted to share this layout with you! These are some of my favorite Photos of Brenna; I took them over 3 years ago; I cannot believe how much she has grown since then!

Exciting New Things at ScrapArtist :)

K. So I can't officially tell you yet; but I just wanted to post that we've got some exciting new things a happenin' at ScrapArtist!! :) Hoping to make the announcement here in a few days :)

We have also THANKFULLY recovered from our server troubles, and things are looking up with our new server move in the works.. SO glad.. Tech troubles really ZAP your creative juices ;) KWIM??

I have been SUPER BUSY with Fancy Pants stuff; we've got some new goodies coming out for Memory Trends; but I have managed to squeeze out a new paper set as well. The colors are all really dark and vogue, and I think it's looking pretty good; I haven't decided yet if I will turn it into a kit or not; so I guess we will just have to see how it all flows.. I have to scrap with it first and see how it strikes me ;)
