A huge grab bag!!

It's Grab Bag time again at The Digichick, and we all went a little nuts! I have never seen such amazing grab bags from the other designers, so I just HAD to go all generous on you myself! The thing just kept growing!

Check it out!


And, this is what I made with it:



If this kind of thing intimidates you, I collaborated a bit with Pamela Donnis and created some ready to print versions:



Seriously, I could go on and on about the grab bags at The Digichick this month. They are SO stunning! Go grab them while you can! Off the top of my head, I would recommend Mari, Elise, Pamela, Mira Designs, and Amy.

It's $2 Tuesday! Grab the Tall Box!

Yep! It's $2 Tuesday again! I went ahead and put my famous Tall Box template on sale. Well, okay, maybe its not FAMOUS, but it certainly is popular!! Enjoy!



And, here is a little layout I did last night. It was SURE nice to actually scrap a bit. I've been so busy with design stuff that I haven't made time to scrap!! Not any more! YAY!



By the way, EVERYTHING (except the cutie) is by Jen Wilson for the Project 52 challenge. I've been SUCH a slacker! This is the week 6 layout. The challenge was to scrap a perfectly imperfect photo. (You'll notice he is blurry.) We are now on week 16. Yikes! I have some scrapping to do, huh?

Sweet Strawberries anyone?

It's new release Thursday at The Digichick, and we have released a MASSIVE number of new products. You've gotta go check it out while they are 20% off today!

And while you are there, pay special attention to MY new items!!

I am SO excited to show you Sweet Strawberry:


I already showed you what I did with them:


And by Jen Tapler:


Aren't these just the cutest?

I also have this Door Hanger/Hard Holder template set:


You HAVE to click on that link to see what my creative team has done with this template. They are so creative!!

And, I also created this great basic box that is just the right size for a deck of cards:


I'm going to put pieces of colored cardstock in mine to use as flashcards for my son:


But look what Julee Tilman did! Isn't it cute?:


Remember, grab these items for 20% off today!!

It's $2 Tuesday and I'm running around like a chicken with it's head cut off!

Look what I have put on sale for just $2 today!



Get it. You know you want to.

OH, and I rearranged my furniture. I was on a massive vacuuming spree yesterday and moved my family room furniture all over the place. Then, I got a little inspired and rearranged a bit. I would post pics, but of course I'm totally embarrassed by the fact that we have been living in this house for over 4 years and I have NOT decorated. But, hey, I'm working on it.

PERHAPS I will post pics as soon as all of this National Scrapbooking Day (May 2nd) craziness is over. Here's a list of things I'm working on:

• 3 new releases for this Thursday. Have to finish my samples, take pics, post, etc.
• A Grab Bag for the month of May - Create 3 new products, samples, etc.
• A collab for MSA - almost done with my part.
• A collab for TDC at DST (oh, you love all those acronyms!).
• A project for the DST Insider.
• My From The Desk of the Editor article for the DST Insider.
• Email 3 pictures of Grant to his teacher and scrounge for $8 in cash (who carries cash?) for his class picture.
• Prepare for a paper scrapbooking group.
• Buy presents for 2 baby showers. Both boys. Hee, hee!

OH, and there is all of the regular family stuff like grocery shopping, cleaning, kissing children, hugging hubby, etc. AND, Mitch is leaving for Malheur (the GFU Ornithology Trip - more later about that if I have time!) tomorrow morning and won't be back until Saturday. AND, I have a MOPS steering team meeting tonight which I totally want to ditch so I can be with my hubby. Plus, there is small group tomorrow night, and I have already decided that we are just going to play a game (a couples game) and I will be the moderator. Hmm. Anything else? Hopefully not.

IN THE MEANTIME, because it makes me happy, I'm going to give you a little sneaky peaky of a project I finished yesterday for one of my new releases. I'm so excited!!



Cute, eh? Aren't you just dying to get your hands on that template??! It is SO adorable in person! AND, it will be on sale on new release Thursday. Yeah, baby.

Okay, have to get to work!!

A little bit of Scrapbook Alchemy

A couple of weeks ago, I had this great idea for a series of articles for Bella Scraps Magazine. I asked Holley V. (the editor) what she thought, then I emailed Jessica Sprague to see if I could get her blessing, and then Jessica blessed the socks off of ME!! See, I wanted to review Session 1 of Jessica's new Scrapbook Alchemy series of classes, of which I had already purchased and was in the process of completing session 1, and then possibly review the rest of the classes as well. (Run on sentence, maybe? Whew!) Holley loved the idea, and Jessica loved the idea, and I loved that I found something to write about that was totally inspiring to me. And, you know what Jessica did? She hooked me up with the next 3 Sessions!! WAHOO! Thank you Jessica!

I could go on and on about how much I love Jessica Sprague. Hopefully I will be able to remain unbiased as I continue this series. The first "review" is now posted on the Bella Scraps website for all to see. (Check out the new "magazine" format! It's still in process, so keep checking back. In fact, just go ahead and add it to your reader.)

Here's a sneaky-peaky for my mom, who probably won't click over, never checks her Facebook and would HATE to miss these layouts. These are from Jessica's class.

Original version:

Flipped a bit:

AND, if you are interested in taking one of Jessica's classes, consider taking advantage of the great deal she is having on Scrapbook Alchemy, Session 1 until the end of April. It is a mix of traditional and digital scrapbooking that is PERFECT for beginners.

Oh, and The Hybrid Chick is going to be having a BIG, HUGE giveaway for National Scrapbooking Day (May 2nd), and Jessica has generously (overly-generously!!) donated a bunch of seats in her classes!

By the way, I posted this project (with a tutorial) to the Hybrid Chick blog! Perfect for paper scrappers!!


AND, I have a BUNCH of new products coming out on Thursday! I'm so excited!!

$2 Tuesday!

Yep. It's $2 Tuesday at The Digichick. Gosh, maybe I should start a different blog with only promotional stuff on it, huh? Of course, I'm SO bad at remembering to post that both blogs would end up being neglected. Anyway. Go pick up a couple of templates and some paper packs to get started in hybrid!! And, if you have no idea what you are doing, go see a couple of my blog posts over at The Hybrid Chick!
