This is my week 4 entry for NDIDDS at Designs In Digital. My inspiration was the red gerber daisy in the kit. A close friend had given it to me a couple weeks ago; it was fragile and limp, but with a little care it is still alive and going strong! Just like how our friends keep us going strong.

In My Garden contains 14 papers, 41 elements and a complete alpha.

You can download the kit here:

Enjoy and Happy Easter!

Finally a new kit!!!

2009-11-12T16:28:00.008-05:00

I'm sorry I've been away for so long. It's been really busy around here, and now my 2-year old son has pneumonia. Our lives are never boring!

I've finally got a new kit in stores called At The Pumpkin Patch. It has 14 papers and 41 elements.

At The Pumpkin Patch has an optional alpha. The alpha contains upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols.

I also have a couple new mini-kits in stores. When It Snows has 13 papers and 31 elements.

Last month I created some CU elements, although I didn't get them posted here. They are all photographed or scanned and extracted by me. They are PNG files at 300 DPI.

I hope you enjoy these new offerrings. Here's a preview of another CU item coming out soon:

Jimmy's 2nd Birthday

2009-07-11T00:22:00.004-04:00

Well, I haven't been around in a while. I've been busy planning my son's 2nd birthday party. He just turned 2 (July 10) and his party is on July 11. Here's the cake I made him:

It's a zoo theme, so I used his little people zoo animal toys for the cake.

In honor of his birthday. I will be releasing the Birthday Party kit next week after all the excitement dies down -- and after I get used to having a 2-year old! :)

It's Coming!!! Final weeks of NDIDDS and HUGE FREEBIE!

2009-05-29T01:20:00.005-04:00

So we are finally down to the final two weeks of the NDIDDS contest at Designs in Digital. For the last challenge, we have two weeks to create a full kit -- 20+ papers, 40 elements and complete alpha. The papers will be available on May 29th and the elements will be available a week later on June 5th. My kit is called Pool Party.

Whenever I think of summer I think of lazy days spent by the pool, splashing, swimming, playing or just floating and relaxing. I also think of my brother's annual summer bash, the food, the fun, and of course the swimming. The Pool Party kit is great for scrapping those fun times in the pool and out. It includes papers for all your summer memories, the sun, the fun and the tasty summer foods.

The Paper Pack includes 25 papers, 8 solid and 17 patterned.

I will add the link here when the papers are available. For a hint of the elements for this kit, check out my new blog header!

Next Designs in Digital Design Star

2009-04-30T20:22:00.000-04:00

Designs in Digital is having a contest to choose some new designers called the Next Designs in Digital Design Star (NDIDDS). Since I have been wanting to become a designer, I've entered the contest. I'll be listing my freebie kits that I make for the contest here in the next month.

More About Me

I am a stay-at-home mother of one adorable and very active toddler boy named Jimmy. Jimmy is almost 20-months old. He is usually who you are going to see as the subject of my scrapbooking.

I have been married for 8 years to a wonderful man named Jim. We have been through more in these past eight years than most couples go through a lifetime. Luckily all the hardship just seems to bring us closer.

By background, I am a graphic designer, although I have been out of work for 16-months now. With today's economy, jobs are almost nonexistent, so I keep my design skills sharp by doing digital scrapbooking. I would love to someday design digital scrapbooking kits. I am also open to doing scrap-for-hire to try to earn a little extra money.

2009-02-28T12:35:00.000-05:00

I am new to blogging, so please forgive me as I find my way. I started this blog because I was just accepted as a creative team member for Designs in Digital, The Scrapping Garden, and for Silly Beans Scraps. I will be posting the layouts I do for my assignments on these teams.
