We are kicking off a new Create A Kit Event (CAKE): Shall We Tangerine Tango. Now through March 2 is your chance to build your own kit with these amazing new colors centered around Tangerine Tango, the Pantone Color of the Year. Its bold, but not too bright, just right. We have some boy themed pieces, which scrappers are always asking for, and lots of general papers and elements that you can use in almost any type of layout. Be sure to pick up a bundle at the low price of just $1.50 per set!

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

No. I'm not leaving y'all. But my external hard drive has given up the ghost. I'll be transitioning from my old 1 TB hard drive to my new 3 TB hard drive over the next couple of weeks, but it's sure hard to get the files off my old drive when it only runs for about 10 minutes at a time, once every 24 hours! I did manage to save all of my working files AND my Photoshop, so at least I can still design new stuff, it's just getting all of my completed stuff off of my hard drive that will be hard. Right now I'm trying a trick that one of the IT guys at work suggested. It sounds kind of crazy, but it let me get about 20G of stuff off all in one shot yesterday. Don't try this at home, unless you're absolutely positive that there's no other resort. I had completely given up on getting anything else off of my hard drive, so was willing to try this. I wrapped my hard drive in a kitchen towel, put it in a zip lock bag and squeezed all of the air out. I put it in a crisper drawer (so nothing would get spilled on it), and let it sit in there for 24 hours. Brought it out and let it warm up to room temperature (this part was really important, because it wouldn't even run when it was cold), and I was able to run it for about 30 minutes instead of my usual 10!

To celebrate my good fortune, I'm going to work on a little freebie for everyone who signs up for my newsletter. So if you haven't already signed up, you should get to it. I'll be emailing the link to the freebie sometime next week, and then it'll only be available for purchase. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Another Alice Layout

And this one isn't by me! Many thanks to Judith (the51mom) for her wonderful layout with my newest kit, Alice. I love the clean, graphic look of this layout. Be sure to click on the Judith's layout if you'd like to see more of her wonderful layouts.



Alice is still on the introductory sale price for a limited time. I'm a huge fan of clean lines in layouts, but I like layouts with lots of "stuff" too. What kind of layouts do you prefer?

Introducing Alice

Alice is finally in the store, and is available at 20% off for a limited time. This kit is named after my great-niece, Alice. She just turned one, and is absolutely adorable. Alice's parents aren't your typical parents of a baby girl, and love all things hot rod, heavy metal. Alice's wardrobe reflects their love of the unusual and I tried to reflect that in this kit by not choosing your typical baby girl colors. I think the colors and patterns in this kit reflect a more modern baby, and that is perfect for Miss Alice.

Included in this kit are 16 backgrounds, 3 fabric ruffles, 2 strips of lace, 2 fabric flowers, 5 ribboned rings, 1 eyelet, 1 paperclip, 2 binder clips, 2 bulldog clips, 1 tag, a glittery flourish, and a postage stamp alpha that includes letters (upper and lower on the same stamp) and numbers.



Here are some layouts that I made with the kit. Not only would it be delightful for baby pictures, but it worked really well for some of my pictures from our trip to the zoo last summer.





Don't forget about the Create Your Own Kit going on right now at Digitals. These items are only on sale until February 11th, so you'll want to grab yours before they go up to full price. Here are my pieces of the kit:

I'm so not good at this

I've tried all three of the RSS Feed apps associated with Facebook to no avail. Maybe I'm just too impatient. Who knows? I just know that I want it to work. I want it to work right. I want it to work right NOW. I'll now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Sneak Peek!

Here's a sneak peek at the colors for my new kit - be on the lookout for it in the Digitals store soon - the kit will be Alice, after my great-niece who is about to turn one!
