freebie qp

Here's a freebie qp made from my newest kit "Genuine Tomboy". Please snag it and enjoy!!! The link is HERE.

New Kit!

My newest kit will be in the TSG store on Tuesday! It's called Genuine Tomboy and was made with my niece Lauren in mind. Lauren is a 4th generation tomboy - her Mom, her aunts and her grandmother were all tomboys. There could have been more before that but I don't know about them! This kit has a different color palette than most girl or tomboy kits that I've seen. The coral and blue colors are 2 of Lauren's favorites so they were the beginning of the kit. The kit preview is below, so let me know what you think - do you like the colors or not? As always, follow the link to my store at TSG that is listed at the left side of this page.

Guest Blogger

Beginning tomorrow(Sunday), for one week, I'll be the guest blogger at the Scrapping Garden blog. I'll be sharing pieces of a freebie kit "Autumn Leaves" each day. Although I'm following in some pretty big footsteps, I am excited at this opportunity to reach a larger audience with my designs. I hope it will stimulate sales, but whatever, it will be fun!

Here is a preview of the first day's freebies .

4 new kits in the store

Here is the ad I sent out for my newest kits in the store.

Oh Woe is Me!

Well, my summer cold turned into full-blown bronchitis so I've been sick for almost 3 weeks. So basically, I haven't gotten too much designing or scrapping done. But the 2 kits in my grab bag have been put in the store since the grab bag sale is over. And I had started 2 other kits before I got sick , so they too are in the store. I will post the ad I sent to the yahoo groups with all 4 newbies in it as soon as I can find what I did with the url! LOL!!!!

DANG!

Dang, just when everything's going along great - WHAM! I was moving along keeping up with the various pieces that I need to finish by the 15th, and then last night I got a sore throat and this morning I started coughing - I have the dreaded SUMMER COLD! I feel like I've been run over by a semi truck and I can't keep my mind (or my eyes) focused on designing. One good thing though, I did finish everything for Joli for the Sept. Featured Designer spot. So I'm gonna send that all to her and wait until morning and hope I feel better then.

I'm working on my GrabBag and I'll finish that first (since I only have 2 days to get it done!). Then I'll tackle the September Mega Kit! And I need to upload 2 kits before the 20th - oh well, some weeks it's just busy!busy!busy!

Featured Designer

Joli at Scrap Professor has asked me to be the Featured Designer on her site for the month of September! I'm really excited - this will be additional exposure for me as well as TSG. I will be in her September newsletter and am offering a "freebie" mini-kit to her newsletter recipients. I'm really grateful to Joli for this opportunity and I hope that her customers like my freebie kit enough to check out my store at The Scrapping Garden.

My newest kit

This is my newest kit at The Scrapping Garden. I love the colors, so cheerful and bright! Sunflowers have always been one of my favorite flowers and this kit was easy to make.

This blog thing!

This blog thing has been hovering over my head for awhile now. So I decided ( with a little help from a friend) to jump right into it. I need someplace to post what's going on in my designing life, as well as previews of my kits and, occasionally, to provide some freebies! So - here we go!
