Hi everyone. The weekend's half done again. But I'm so happy because my husband has taken the day off tomorrow and we are going to do something special. It's been a while since we've had a real full day together, because he's working two part-time jobs and working 6 days a week. It's been a hard transition, and I know a lot of being go through it, but it's still not easy. After all, while hubby was immigrating here, I had him home full-time for over a year and a half. And after that he's only had part-time work. So I've been spoiled for nearly 4 years with having him around when I need him. Until now. But hopefully that will be changing soon and he'll be offered a full-time position so that he works 5 days instead of 6. That would help.

So enough of my rambling...I have had the most wonderful guest CT member for a couple months. Neissa has generously made a desktop calendar for you as well, from my new kit Symphony. I hope you'll enjoy using it!

It's Grab Bag time!

Don't miss out this month! We're celebrating the Oscars at Plain Digital Wrapper by rolling out the red carpet, and having grab bags available. I know that you'll love them! Very nice....

Here's a preview for mine. You'll see some of the items in the preview. 7 new products for $3. Now who can miss out on that deal?

Go check it out!!! (The image is clickable).

What's that you hear? It's a Symphony!

It's finally here. This is it. Symphony!

This radiant kit has the veiled look of a secreted forestland with the beginning of spring around the corner. Heliotrope, tan, and lavender papers with woodland and floral detailing provide for the perfect other worldly backgrounds.

This kit is amazing for so many diverse layouts from the fantastical to the romantic. The woodland images are perfect for fantastical extracted fairy tale layouts.

And you'll see below, a lovely layout that Mara did with the kit!


I hope you'll enjoy playing with this kit. It's available starting today and on sale until Monday for 25% off at Scrapbook-Elements.com

Have a good remainder of the weekend folks!

Thrilled that the weekend is here!

I'm so geared up for this weekend. I am dying to do some scrapbooking, and also get a few things designed as well...I have all these ideas, swimming around my head, and I have to get them on to paper before they disappear.

Well, Obama's visit here yesterday was quite uneventful, other than the traffic it caused. All the same, it's nice to see that he appreciated our city. I've always thought it's a nice place to live. I'm hoping to take the puppy for a long walk soon, to a park nearby, but with the Winterlude festival on, there are just too many distractions for him to walk with any kind of determination, unless he pulls to run. Well, he might have to wait a little while.

Sunday is a day I'm looking forward to. Symphony comes out at Scrapbook-Elements, and I'll get to delight in all the beautiful layouts. Check out what CT member, Cate, did with it, as a card for her grandfather.

I hope you enjoy the weekend as much as I will.

Here's another Sneak Peek! Layout wih Symphony

I've had some wonderful layouts done with Symphony. I think you'll see that some very talented ladies have done some awesome things with it. Here's a layout by Fabella:


Don't forget to drop by the store on Sunday to pick up Symphony!

The mojo came back in spades!

Well today I'm feeling way better than I was a week ago. My mojo for designing and creating is back. I did a lot of scrapping last week, and that seemed to really help. I have the joy of being on Sugarplum Paperie's Creative Team this month, and I adore her products. They are so easy to work with. Layouts just happen when I look at her products. And Dianne Rigdon's had some beautiful new stuffs come out lately too! And Miki keeps pulling out amazing kit after amazing kit. So who would I be NOT to use their products and get to enjoying scrapbooking again?

So now, the designing bug is back. Finally. I have a new kit coming out on Sunday at Scrapbook-Elements, called Symphony. Here's a sneak peek. I know you'll love it. It will be a great kit for those fantasy/extraction type of layouts. I'll be posting layouts here using the kit this week. So stay tuned!

Ahhh, the weekend! And it's February!!

Well, winter's about half done I'd say. And it's looking better than last year for sure. It's a cool one here today though, which is good because next week Winterlude starts. It's a fun festival of snow sculptures, sledding, skating, huge 20 foot snow slides...all kinds of fun. And now we live within walking distance, which will be nice for us. I just hope my ankle is up to walking on all that uneven snow.

Here's a little treat for you, by a new regular CT member of mine, Cate. She's made this gorgeous QP for you from Tryst, my collab with Miki Ferkul. Enjoy! And if you do, please leave a comment! Thanks.
