New blog!

Well, you guys, it has been a really busy couple of weeks. In addition to my regular CT duties, and home/mommy duties, I have been in the Designer Darling Contest, as you probably already know! Well, it was a hard six weeks, but I learned so much over the course of the contest! I went into the contest hoping to learn something  about designing, because I had only ever made one other kit ever! Well, I must have learned well, because... duh, duh, duuuuuh......

I WON! 

Wow oh wow! I couldn't believe it when I made it the the final round, and then all of the wonderful final entries! And I was one of five ladies who was offered a spot in the Design Team at Stuff to Scrap! I am so excited! And I'm working furiously to get a few extra kits made to have for the grand opening! No word yet on Grand Opening day, but I will let you know soon!

In other news, I decided that with a new store, it would be good to have a 3 Li'l Monsters blog, so here is the link.

Add-on Mini Freebie!

Well, it seems that when I get to designing, I have a hard time stopping! I just get on a roll, and inertia keeps me going! =) So you are the winners in this situation!

I have one more freebie for this week... an add-on to the beautiful Vintage Romance Mini-Kit. Make sure you grab both this freebie and the mini-kit that was posted a couple of days ago. I have several freebies on my blog, so grab them while you can! I will be removing the links to these kits at the end of this contest.

So without further ado, here is your Add-on!

Download here or here.

If you like my kit, please leave me a comment... I love hearing your comments! And if you would like to see me do a theme, or have any other fantastic ideas... I want to hear them!

Enjoy and happy scrapping!

Here's another freebie!

Well, I have a beautiful layout to show you today, made with my Round Two Designer Darling Mini-Kit! I was so surprised and impressed when another member of one of my CT's told me she had made a page with last week's add-on! She did such a great job, I just had to share it with you! Thanks, Mara for allowing me to share it here!

OK so I have another freebie just for you from this week's Designer Darling Contest. I made a QP from the kit! I like to try to scrap with any kit I make, just to make sure there are enough elements and to make sure they go together cohesively, so here is the result! =)

Enjoy and happy scrapping!

Week 3 Designer Darling Contest Freebie!

Well, it's week 3 at Stuff to Scrap! I have been having such a great time with this contest, and have learned so much! This week we had to get our inspiration from a photo that was given to us in our packet.

So as soon as I saw the photo, I thought of all the great times (and all the complaining we did) while canning peaches in my mom's kitchen. But after looking at the palette, it just kept saying romance to me. Our wedding was blue with a touch of peach, and the color palette reminded me of vintage roses. So I decided to go with a vintage romantic theme. Hope you enjoy it!

Download it at Stuff to Scrap.

And I also have a CU Freebie of the Victorian Shoe Pattern that I made for this kit. Just add your own papers, etc. and voila! you have a beautiful Victorian shoe for your next kit!

Download the CU Freebie here or here.

Enjoy and happy scrapping!

Quickpage Freebie, too!

Well, you guys, I should have been in bed hours ago, but I got to playing around with my new Sweet Tea and Cupcakes Kit and spent waaaaaaaay too much time! lol. But in the process I ended up with an adorable layout and I made it into a Quick Page for you to download, too!

Here is my layout....

Sweet Tea And Cupcakes Cluster and Siggie Freebie!

Well, this is going to be short and sweet because with all of the excitement of designing this week I have neglected my other important tasks, like housework. Who needs a clean house anyway?

But I was playing around with the Sweet Tea and Cupcakes kit that is my submission to the Stuff to Scrap Designer Darling Contest for this week, and came up with this sweet cluster freebie. I made it smaller too for a signature for all of those great forums we hang out in!

So here you go....
