Thanks for the Ride

Well we have finally come to the end of the contest at Designs In Digital. The final portion of my My Hero, My Dad is up their store along with an element booster pack freebie. This has been an unreadable month that has truly tested me as a designer. Despite the long hard hours I have loved every minute of the contest. The element pack for My Hero, My Dad is loaded with all kinds of father/child goodies from dolls holding hands or signs to button shaped hearts and silhouettes taken from photos of my son and husband together. You can still get the paper pack that was released last week along with the element pack and the new element freebie. Just click the previews below.

There are 2 frames, 3 borders, 1 seal, 2 envelops, 1 journaling mat, 9 doll sets, 2 acrylic silhouettes, 2 chipboard silhouettes, 1 layered paper silhouette, 2 brads, 3 buttons, 3 glass pebbles, 2 paper clips, 1 tire, 1 ribbon, 2 fiber strings, 2 tags, 1 word art and a full alpha that includes upper and lower case letters, numbers 0-9 and special characters.

With all of the fun of making the larger pack I just couldn't stop once I was done and I created a free booster pack for the elements, that includes 1 set of brackets, photo corners, 1 frame, 1 bracket mat and a glitter spot.

This past school year my son was able to join Cub Scouts and sold paper last fall. My husband took him out over the course of several evenings walking in the neighborhood to get orders. When the popcorn came in we loaded up his wagon and set out to get all of the pop for our neighborhood delivered in one day. After a few houses Victor said that his feet were tired and hitched a ride in his wagon. This is a two page layout of the guys delivering the popcorn. It was created with my kit My Hero, My Dad available at Designs In Digital. It will only be available for a short period of time so hurry up and grab it. You can click the previews above to get it.

Thanks to everyone over at Designs In Digital for this increadable month. I have truly grown as a designer through this opportunity.

My Hero, My Dad

We all have heros in our life. For some they are teachers, fire fighters, police men or our military men and women. But for most of us the bigist our first hero was the first man in our lives. The man that we first looked up to and thought he hung the moon. This kit is all about celebrating this first and most special of all our heros, Our Dads. The first portion of the kit has been released this week at Disigns In Digital. It features 32 papers to lay the perfect foundation for all of the pages celebrating the fathers in our lives. There are 8 textured solid papers and 24 pattern papers inspired by my own dad and my husband. The elements will be coming next week. To purchase this kit just click on the preview.

If you haven't grabed it yet, you can scroll down and click on the preview to get go to the store Designs In Digital.

Loosing My Marbles

Oh No!!! I seem to have lost my marbles. Some how in the process of creating another kit all them seem to have disapered, but I think I know where they can be found. In a brand new mini kit created for the warm-up round of NDDIDS (New Designer Designs In Digital Search) at Desings in Digital. Over the next few weeks I will be creating several new kits for this contest and they will be given away free in the store.

Loosing My Marbles has 5 patterned papers, 2 marbles, 1 frame, 2 different bags of marbles, 2 tags (1 word art and 1 blank), 1 fiber, 1 marble game and 1 border. This was inspired by watching a group of cub scouts learn to play the game. Once each kit goes live in the store I will post a preview and link so that you can download it.

DSP Designer Finder Contest

Sorry it has been so long since the last time that I posted anything here. Between Hurricane Ike and the recovery we had a very eventful September and October. We are finally getting back to normal. At the beginning of November I participated in a Designer Finder Contest at Digital Scrapbook Place. I created 2 kits during the first 3 rounds. It was a wonderful experience and a chance for me to try my hand at some knew things in designing. The first kit, Handmade Christmas, was based off of the ornaments that my sister and I made as children. This kit contains 4 papers, 2 angels, 2 cords, 1 star frame, 1 word art, and 2 holly and berry clusters. The layout is of my son and our new puppy. I had the brilliant idea to take a photo of the two of them in front of our Christmas tree using the natural light in the room. It was a truly fun experience to get the two of them to sit still long enough for the picture to be taken.

The second kit that I created is Elements of Earth. This is a fun funky kit that is based loosely on the Chinese form of conji. I used it to scrap some portraits taken of my sisters family this past summer. It contains 1 knotted rope, 1 knotted ribbon, 4 papers, 1 flower, 4 photo corners, 1 brad, 1 eyelet, and 1 paper clip.
