DSO colour challenge - May Potpourri

Hey y'all. Enjoying the warmer weather? I know I am. I got so sick of snow & winter this year, it is so great to see trees start to have green leaves. Bear with me through some news & there's a reward at the end.

The countdown to customer 200 at Heartbeatz Creationz is getting close. Disappointingly, the owner has decided designers working for the store cannot vie for the prize & once the race gets to a certain point, orders from designers will be put on hold until after someone wins the very desirable collab prize. So I have no hope of being the lucky customer 200, but you, dear readers, you do. Check out the store, there is new stuff added daily & that collab kit is a prize worth winning.

Speaking of winning, I was fortunate enough to win the NSD door prize at Scrappetizing. The name of every customer who made a purchase during the NSD weeekend sale was placed into a blind draw & my name was pulled out! I got the news not long after finding out the collab race was off limits, so it really helped me feel better. And you will all eventually benefit from my win because every penny of the gift certificate went to CU tools so I can make you more goodies. In fact, I used some of my purchase in creating the kit I'm giving you today.

Well, it's time for the May DSO colour challenge with the wonderful Kim B hosting as usual.

I couldn't think of a theme this time around, so I just made a whole bunch of stuff, which is why I'm calling it May Potpourri. And when I say I made a whole bunch of stuff I mean it. This kit is so packed with goodies, that, for the sake of anyone on dial-up, I have divided the kit into 14 separate zips all stored in one folder on media fire. The frames are fancy & I was surprised at how much RAM they take, but I hope you agree that they are worth it. I also made a quick page with the kit as a special bonus.

I'm still waiting for computer repair. At least I can still create while I wait.
Enjoy.

May desktop freebie

I don't know about anyone else, but I used to get a regular desktop calendar through an online group & got hooked on the ease of just looking there for dates. Unfortunately, that group no longer supplies a monthly desktop, so I have to either find one on the web or make one.

Well, I stumbled aqcross my file for work by Angeles Sky yesterday & just had to work with her beautiful papers again. If you scroll back far enough you'll find a quick page I made many months ago. She does lovely work & you can click on her banner on my sidebar to visit her site.

May 2009 desktop

I'm still waiting for my computer to go into the shop. There is no way I can lift & carry my cpu after tearing 3 out of 4 shoulder tendons in a fall last year, so I use a business that, for a reasonable fee, will pick my computer up, take it to the shop, fix it, and then bring it back & set it up again.

The race to customer 200 at Heartbeatz Creationz has passed the 100 customer mark. Who will be the lucky winner? I really wouldn't mind being customer 200 - it is a gorgeous big kit. Today is the last day to get 60% off storewide. It includes some new stuff just released today, which is why I'm heading there to shop myself -Jada has just released the cutest templates of a turtle & a butterfly & they will go nicely in the big kit I am working on now.

Have a good day & I hope you like the desktop.

National Scrapbooking Day

Heartbeatz Creationz is having a big sale this weekend to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day.

All Scrappy Luv Designs are included in the 60% off sale.

today's freebie was made with my freebie kit A Day for Mom. True Love qp1

Arrrgh - my computer has to go into the shop & I don't have a laptop, so I'm bracing for the inevitable computer withdrawal. I hope they don't have to keep it more than a day. I'm seriously addicted to creating on my computer every day.

So think about shopping in my store. There's a repair bill in my immediate future & computer repair is rarely cheap. I may need all the help I can get - lol.

Anyway, enjoy. Hope to see y'all again real soon.

a variety of news & a free mini kit

sad news

Scrap Happiness is closing forever this Thursday. All the designers are slashing their prices for a goodbye sale. All my products are marked down to only $1 each.

Over at HeartbeatzCreationz there is a special countdown in progress - there is a special collaborative kit that will go to customer 200, provided that customer 200 has spent a minimum of $10. If customer 200 spends less than $10, the next customer who spends $10 wins the special kit.

The preview shows only a small portion of the actual kit. Originally the collab was for customer 1000 but after the store crashed the count was back to zero, and we switched to customer 200.

The designers have been drooling over this kit since the previews of individual contributions started going through our yahoo group mail. This is a one of a kind kit that only the winner will ever have, so most of us wouldn't mind being customer 200 ourselves - lol.

here is my portion's preview:

And now at long last, your freebie - originally designed to be part of Scrap Happiness' May free with purchase, it is now a special freebie for you.

A Day for Mom
So, check out Scrap Happiness' goodbye sale before everything is gone for good. And check out Heartbeatz Creations where there are great bargains to be had. You may be the lucky customer 200!

Enjoy

Funky Garden

Hey y'all

I've just put a new kit into both my stores. It's based upon some of my digital abstracts.

This kit and all my other stuff, PU & CU is currently on sale.

check it out now (before I come to my senses - lol)

and now a freebie quick page from my new kit Funky Garden quick page

New Look & other news, including a new freebie

Hi

Do you like the new look? I made the new background layout using a kit by Crystal's Designs called Wild Rose. You can find her fabulous kit at Scrap Happiness.

Yesterday was quite the day - HeartbeatzCreationz was getting a facelift & the whole store crashed! Yikes! But everyone scrambled & worked together & the store is back up, with its new look & having a sale to celebrate.

Scrap Happiness is also looking for new designers and creative team members. Both great places, so if you're interested, apply.

Now that you've put up with my plugging the two great stores I design for, I have a freebie for you as a reward.

Just Because quick page

You may also notice I've added a slideshow to the bottom of my blog, with my latest scrapbook layouts. I'll be adding some old favorites once I track down my disc.

Enjoy.

Spring Love quick page freebie

I'm working on a new kit, and this time a freebie quick page is coming before the kit is anywhere near completed.

I started with it called Spring Seduction & then switched to Spring Love quick page. I dunno - which title do you think I should use for the kit? I've added a poll to the sidebar. Vote & let me know. Thanks.





Scrap Happiness has changed its look. It really is a great store & worth a visit.

Check it out. You won't regret it.

Enjoy.
