Academic Overload and freebie

2009-08-21T12:54:00.006-04:00

Bet you been wondering why Kat has not shared any of her pages this week? Well I have been scrapping all week!!! Just could not share them till today! These are my pages for the new HUGE Kit Academic Overload created by Clever Monkey Graphics and Saxon Holt Designs!!! OMG ladies this is the KIT to have for all the school day photos you need to scrap. Great thing is you can buy parts of it, and built your own kit and there are over 50 packets of papers and elements to choose from!!! How cool is that? Ohhh and if you got to both of their blogs you can grab a 18 page bragbook I made with this awesome kit. Just click on their names above AND you must check out this kit HERE!!!!

Here are four pages I made using my friends daughters photos from last year in school!

I won, I vented and I created

2009-08-13T15:23:00.016-04:00

Wow talk about one hell of a week, I almost gave scrapping all up again. But some very good pals help me though it and I want to thank them all for the wonderful support and love! You girls rock!!!! So what got me so upset with the digiworld, I did start a thread, venting about all the CRAP you get in a kit when you buy it! Yeah I was venting!!! Shit I spend a lot of money on digi goods!! You can read all about it here and one drama queen designer !!!!!!! Beware this is a long thread, so get something to drink!!!

I had the thread shut down due to a very close scrap pal of mine, she is on a VERY WELL KNOWN designers CT and that designer emailed her and the rest of her CT to go to the thread and bash me for calling her stuff crap, which was NOT the case!!! Four of them ignored the email and were mind blown she did this.

And the last repliers saying I had the problem, after this designer did this!!!! I'm peeved and have a right to be!!! Well HELL YEAH I could oust her...But no I won't stoop that low!!!! So I just scrap all damn day and stay out of my love DST before I go went and said something I will regret!!! LOL Ya know my big mouth!!

Well it was one of the heated threads I even seen at DST!!! So many designers sent me coupons and GC to try out their packing all saying that those designers do not represent all digi designers views! I want to thank each and every one of them!!! And it's good to see that some designers like to really know what their customers think!!

A very dear friend said, "Even if you educated ONE designer into repackaging her stuff better then I say your job is well done." YEAH!!!! And I think quite a few were listening too!!! I have my list of who I like to buy from and there are few designers I now will not buy from nor will I lead my clients that way. Now not all designers posted were drama queens and they shared with us what all that stuff was there for, and I appreciated their input!!! Well I want to put this behind me now and go on to scrapping because its a passion for me!

Ok well I also won tons of wonderful goodies at DST's "Happy Place" doing the happy dance!!!! First I will start with "Tenderness Colors" created by NANINE You can grab it here! Thanks Nan I love this kit. Then I got "Sweet Lullaby" created by Rustic Charm Creations, a beautiful baby kit with many other uses! Thanks RCC I love this and have a few baby photos of new twin cousins to scrap soon. I would of told you where to get this but the TOU had no store nor blog link. Sorry! Ohhh and I got this sweet wonderful kit "Fruttini" created by Strawberries Designs I love all the fruit in this kit so summery and fun! You can grab it here. I also got the beautiful "'Sea Adventures' QP Album created by Shayarka Designs!!! There so very pretty and a wonderful way to display some beachy photos. You can grab theme here. OHHHHHHHH W&W had a post where you could post as many times as you wanted and I did!!!! LOL so much I won "Happy Birthday Collection" created by by Patricia Christensen, woohooo this is a huge wonderful fun kit, many many thanks!!!!! You can grab it here.

I want to thank each and everyone of these talented designers I have won a RAK from, for your time, talent and gift to give!!!!!

Okay now on to some LO's I did yesterday in my pissy mood!!!! I do my best creating then, don't we all?
I did the ESS's Font Challenge. The font we got to play with is a wonderful handwritten! Eight Fifteen, Regular. You can find it HERE

I answered the talented designer "Dielle Designs" She had a wicked baseball kit, called "Pitch Hitter" and I LOVE baseball kits, don't know why but I love collecting them, I don't even play ball....LOL Once I seen this kit I feel in love with it, the unique elements like the score board and stands, and I love the fence too!! You must check it out, here.

Now check out the two LO's i did, the first one is of the Detroit Tiger OLD Stadium, I pass this everyday and it is an old bashed up building now, waiting for the city to destroy it, so sad. I have every fond memories there from my youth. So I desided to make a LO for my "ME" album. Loved how it came out.

And for my second LO I went to my dear friend Kimmies myspace and she had an old newspaper clipping of her uncle ED, from his youth. I asked to use it and she was happy to let me, she even sent me another one about him.

2009-05-17T10:45:00.008-04:00

Well this week I started to check out the DST "Happy Place" where designers will have mini contest to win one or more of their new products, all you got to do is leave a post, some had us tell why we like the kit/elements or what our favorite book or color was, all simple stuff.
So each day I went to the "Happy Place" post and started to leave some comments to win kits, and I be darn I wont THREE just this week and all wonderful kits too, that well get lots of use from me.

The first one I won was on Monday and Dinphy emailed me I won her new "Mellow Yellow" kit!!!

It's so bright and sunny, makes you happy just to see the brilliant colors.

You can find it here. Thanks Dinphy for the wonderful chance to win this cute kit.

Then on Wednesday I won, "When You Were Sleeping" created by Wendy Page and Edeline Marta, Talk about a dreamy kit, this one just rocks!!!!

There is so many wonderful colors and some really unique elements. You can check it out here. Thanks Edeline and Wendy, I love this kit!!!!!

and then this morning I woke up to a wonderful email from, Little Dragons Designs, new kit "Marilyn" Ohhhh it's got a nice vintage touch to it, she made it in honor of your mother, and I love it!!!

I'm telling ya if you never checked out the "Happy Place" over at DST, what you waiting for, I am HAPPY!!!! and doing the happy dance!!! A MUST check out. Login is required but well worth it.

Now as you know DigitalCandy is closing down, and I was sadden more then I thought, but I loved hanging out there and they always had some rocking challenges which I am an addict ya know, well I left a post over at DST, asking where a fun forum/store was? and that I was a challenge geek!! Well many wonderful gals left so many places to check out. I ended up joining three new places to me, ScrapMatters, FunkyPlayground Designs, and Scrapbook Graphics
I choose these to check out mostly cause they were places that are not to strict on what product you use.

Yesterday I did three challenges over at ScrapMatters here is the first one "Word Up" where we were asked to make a LO with a photo that has words in it and play from there, so I dug up some of my aunts Vegas photos. Friday as I was freebie hunting I ran into Britt-ish Designs "Jackpot" freebie, but feel in love with the kit so I bought it.

More grown up don't ya think???? I will be posting my newest LO's, freebies when time permits me to make some, and all I do in digiscrapland. Looking to join a CT to give me some mojo to scrap for fun again.

DigiScrapsFreebies4U This group is just freebies, I am the main sharer, I send in over a 100 digi scrap freebies a day!!! I welcome designers to share thier freebies/ct/designer calls. But no ADs for now, one of the reason I closed last share yahoo group was I had over 10-20 new stores (A week) opening up and sending ADs in. Since the boom in tagger scraps many new stores went up and found me...lol so I am into freebies only.
