Quickpages, Minikit and freebies!

This will be SECOND time I have written today's blog entry. I keep getting sidetracked by FB...and those farming apps. I need Farm intervention yall!

I have been designing some inbetween getting my daughter ready to go off to college, planning her Au Revoir party, and adopting a new stray kitty named Meatball! He is such a cutie pie!

I used Microferk Mardi Gras kit to design my daughter's party invites...since she is going to school in LA..I thought it was a good fit.

Anywho back to design news....I have a set of Quickpages made from my latest kit, My Americana. Since my qp skills majorly suck, I bought some commercial use templates from Kissed Studios based on layouts by some of the most awesome layout artists in digiscrapping community. These gals create great pages. So if you are like me and have tons of 4th photos (from this year and past years) to scrap, you can jumpstart your scrapping. Single photo and multiphoto pages included. Exclusive to my SOTB store for only $4.99 and its 25% for the next week!.

I have new kit in my DoItDigi store: Bedazzle...based on my daughter's prom photo this kit is full of soft colors, gorgeous mauve, lush green, rich chocolate brown and ever elegant black are all present in this beautiful formal inspired kit. Gems, silky bows, shabby textured papers, clustered frames and other elements make this kit a joy to work with. $3.99 at DoItDigi.

I did say something about freebies right? well here are two qp's from both of my latest kits...This is not included in the QP set for sale so make sure you grab it as well as the set!

Poor neglected blog

I havent blogged in forever….many days I say I gotta do it today and time just gets away from me. My eldest dd is graduating this year. She turned 18 in  February and each month gets closer to her leaving the nest. May 2 she went to her senior prom.

This is her and her date (and best friend) Lamar. They looked so gorgeous. Its a bittersweet feeling to see her growing older…what happened to my baby….

She always did look gorgeous in pink!

With all of that going on and my grandma passing away, I haven’t really been in mood to design. No creative spark at all. So I think I am just going to concentrate on forum participation at the sites I sell at and scrapping some of these  gazillion pictures I have. Now if I could just stay off of FB

Been a while

Since I last blogged…lots going on in my world. Eldest daughter got her first car! 2004 Olds Alero…her car is newer than MINE! LOL. But I wanted peace of mind when she goes all the way down to Louisiana  that she will have reliable transportation! She of course is over the moon.

I entered the Design2Inspire contest at Inspiration-Lane.com. Here is my week one entry :

Happy 2009

I saw midnite with my family as usual. We drank our sparkling cider and talked for a while longer. Talked about what our plans for this year might include. The Diva who is 17 and in her senior year of high school is chomping at bit to get out of Dodge. She is headed to Grambling in the fall. I look forward to it in a bittersweet way..hard to believe my lil baby is just about growed up..sniff sniff…but other times I am ready to strangle her!

I also did my daily mugshot. Here is today…check back  for daily update

I also started a frugal crafters yahoo groups…sometimes my craft hobbies can get expensive and I gotta work on that. The group is in its infancy but if you are frugal and crafty…feel free to join me…it will include picture shares, techniques, and of course chit chat.
