I'm not sure where exactly I'll end up, but when I do come back I'll have some fresh new designs to share with you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://twitter.com/katiemanndesign" target="new">My Twitter</a> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkatiemann.blogspot.com" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin It</a>

The last day that you'll be able to find my designs for sale at Digitals will be Thursday, May 31. Until then, all of my products are on sale for 50% off. After that time, they will no longer be for sale anywhere. So if there is something that you've been planning to get, you'd better get it while you can. I do not currently have plans to sell at another store, but that may change in the future. For the present, I am discontinuing with design (except for my own personal use), and will be changing roles at <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=188" target="new">Digitals</a>. I'll be joining the CT there effective June 1st. For the forseeable future I'll be sharing my layouts on here, and I may even share the ocassional freebie, so be sure to check back.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://twitter.com/katiemanndesign" target="new">My Twitter</a> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkatiemann.blogspot.com" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin It</a>

It's almost time for the May C.A.K.E. (Create a Kit Event) at Digitals again. We'll be releasing our new C.A.K.E. offerings on Saturday, but I thought I'd offer you all a sneak peek. I was really inspired by the colors this month, and made a set of pattern papers, solid papers, an alphabet, and a set of elements. The solid papers feature a texture with a small amount of grunge and are in great shades of blues, white, and greens.</div><br /><div><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/glitter-and-unicorns/Misc%20Images/MANNK-565.jpg" height="250" width="250" align="right">The pattern papers feature some of my new favorite patterns like the herringbone print, as well as some of my old favorites like a madras-style plaid, a design that wouldn't be out of place on a pair of board shorts, and the classic argyle pattern. These papers have the same grunge effect as the solid papers so that they coordinate perfectly.</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/glitter-and-unicorns/Misc%20Images/MANNK-564.jpg" height="250" width="250" align="left">Next up is the element pack. I've included twig frames in two sizes, a cheerful yellow dandelion, a dandelion puff that's just waiting to be wished over, a dandelion on it's stem, a sunny daisy, 2 paper frames, and a sprig of leaves. This element pack is full of fun.</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/glitter-and-unicorns/Misc%20Images/MANNK-567.jpg" height="250" width="250" align="right">Last but certainly not least is a fun polka-dotted alphabet. I love polka-dots, and I love big alphabets that really make a statement on your layout. If this is too much of a statement for you, the alphabet can easily be resized to whatever size you desire. Best of all... all of these packs are on sale this weekend at an introductory price of just $1.50 per pack!</div><br /><br /><font size="+2">~Katie</font><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://twitter.com/katiemanndesign" target="new">My Twitter</a> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkatiemann.blogspot.com" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin It</a>

Judith has been busy creating with Katie's new <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_238&products_id=26536">Fleur</a> kit. The mix of pinks and yellows speaks of spring, of flowers and of girls. What ideas do you have for a kit with these colors? This week's <a href="http://www.4shared.com/zip/rrfX_k3A/Judith_Fleur1.html">treat</a> is a quick page that Judith created using Fleur.<br />

This week has mostly flown by. I was on pins and needles most of the week waiting to find out if I'd get the job I applied for (I didn't), and trying to do schoolwork, housework, and still find time for family and scrapping. I introduced a new kit, which was inspired by my mom's love of her garden. Mother's Day is always a mixed blessing for me. I miss my mom. I'm so blessed to have my own son, Austin and be a mom myself, and I'm sad that my mom never got to experience being a grandmother.<br /><br /><img src="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/images/manka/MANNK-563.jpg" height="250" width="250" align="left">I introduced a new kit, which was inspired by my mom's love of her garden.

<i>Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.</i><br />
<br />
I am preparing to honor my Mother this Sunday. I have a page in progress. The journaling is giving me difficulty. How do I condense the things my Mom has done for me to fit on one page? I think I have found the pictures I want to use. I know pictures exist of just her, more common are the ones with a grandchild on her knee or leaned in beside her.As I looked through the photos, I found more stories to tell. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCPBLR0X66nr92JZrJ2eoTAdOkSDeRmQfva0SJq2tRFWHxjC94Wd27tZAgRvLm4ad2p0B3jOKkoMOYfQ7hnly89i9EIwOS4VgMXHtmKjHXJUxtQgTvFh466hkwhueXIUKdL6i4L83MRCHy/s1600/Alissa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCPBLR0X66nr92JZrJ2eoTAdOkSDeRmQfva0SJq2tRFWHxjC94Wd27tZAgRvLm4ad2p0B3jOKkoMOYfQ7hnly89i9EIwOS4VgMXHtmKjHXJUxtQgTvFh466hkwhueXIUKdL6i4L83MRCHy/s320/Alissa.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>
Instead of a page, I should have planned a whole album!<br />
<br />
Another way to honor Mother's is with cards. My husband would rather a card I make because I have to choose the words inside. The idea makes sense. Since he told me that, I try to make all my cards. I assume others like the hand chosen sentiments as well. Often times, I will design the front of the card on the computer and then use my hand-writting to fill the inside. It ads that extra personalisation.

<br />
I haven't started the card for Mom. I have been browsing through Katie's kits and found a few that would make nice cards. I've shown a few here. The various pink and green hues of the <b>Shabby + Chic</b> kit and the <b>Fleur</b> kit are obvious choices for Mother's Day. However, some moms just aren't that into pink. My girls would know to look for a nice red like in the <b>Alisa</b> kit. Whatever your Mom's preference, there is sure to be a kit that works.

<br />
Here in North America, we are preparing to celebrate our Mother's. My Mom introduced me to scrapbooking. She is a writer and storyteller. She has encouraged me to tell my stories as well. Many of my stories focus on my girls. I have learned much from them over the years. <br />
<br />
This week, Stephanie has created a quick page that can be used to honor mothers or daughters. One of the things I like about this page from Stephanie is the variety of ways it can be used. She created it as a base to build upon. You can put your photos where they work for your story. Do you have a group of photos to honor a group of friends? Do you have one large photo you want to highlight? Either will work with this page. <br />

This past Friday marked the 12th annversary of my mom's loss, and I sure did miss her this year. Some years I can get by with just a wistful wish that I still had her with me, but this wasn't one of those years. I know that it's tough on my family when I miss her this badly.<br /><br />I have a job interview tomorrow for a part time job with my company. The hours are good, not quite as many as I'd like, but good hours that work well with my family's schedule. Well between missing my mom and worrying (I know God is going to come through) about my job, I had time to finish a new kit that was inspired by my mom's love of her garden. I call it Fleur, and I hope you like it as much as I do.<br /><br /> <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_238&products_id=26536" target="new"><img src="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/images/manka/MANNK-563.jpg" height="450" width="450"></a>.<br /><br />So what do you do when you're stressed or worried? Drop me a line and let me know. I wish you all a blessed week!

I've been praying for more time to create, and it looks like God is answering my prayers. Has anyone else noticed that you may get what you pray for, but not exactly in the way that you had hoped? My "real" job is work at home telephone customer service. It's a good job, and most of the time I really enjoy it, but lately I've been wishing that I could cut my hours a bit so that I'd have more time to focus on designing. Well, I may be able to do that in the very near future. My current contract is ending unexpectedly, and the only available openings are part time. I may find myself working part time very soon.<br /><br />On a brighter note, I really wanted to share a layout done by Judith this week. She used <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_238&products_id=14865" target="new">Decorator Series Shabby & Chic</a>, and I love the layering she did down the side. You can leave her some love in the Digitals gallery by clicking on the image.<br /><br /><a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/showphoto.php/photo/156972/title/michaella/cat/1251" target="new"><img src="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/data/500/Kayla-5-12.jpg" height="450" width="450"></a><br /><br />Don't forget that we still have the <a href="http://katiemann.blogspot.com/2012/05/treats-on-tuesday.html" target="main">Tuesday Treat</a> up until the next one comes along, so if you like it and you didn't get it yet, time is running out. I have a new <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_238&products_id=26535" target="new">Sampler</a> up in the store.

I should be creating my own pages. Instead, I've been gallery surfing. There are some wonderful pages there. Today I found a page I just couldn't resist. <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/showphoto.php/photo/156184/title/picture/cat/1251">Take a Picture Momma</a> features a photo of sisters. I am always looking for ideas to scrap photos of sisters since I have two sisters and two daughters.<br />
<br />
The blocking on this page and the vibrant colors lend themselves to a variety of different types of pages. I just love the energy that bright colors give. Stephanie used Katie's <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_238&products_id=14904">Alisa</a> kit to create this fun page.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5jMqmIlZ-vPaoCchskvVl9MDXKrmLWME9q1VdwTl5He1oHso5R0_kgYRvrtM547kD8Uxf4MP6FxCaRtTlQ6vaRmMsJXwyL9lItY5rhKXXLcpJfP6YAbawEtG9KQzVgYe9Z83NS9NLYEh/s1600/Aug5%252Bbaby.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg5jMqmIlZ-vPaoCchskvVl9MDXKrmLWME9q1VdwTl5He1oHso5R0_kgYRvrtM547kD8Uxf4MP6FxCaRtTlQ6vaRmMsJXwyL9lItY5rhKXXLcpJfP6YAbawEtG9KQzVgYe9Z83NS9NLYEh/s320/Aug5%252Bbaby.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Stephanie also used Alisa for the page <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/showphoto.php/photo/156186/title/baby/cat/1251">Baby</a>. This is a <a href="http://katiemann.blogspot.ca/2012/04/scraplift-challenge.html">scraplift</a> that uses clustering to draw the focus to the adorable photo.<br />
<br />
What ideas can you think of to use a bright, cheery kit like Alisa? I am thinking I'd like to use it for a garden page. It would be great for kids at the playground as well. Share your ideas in the comments and we can all be inspired by each other. We'd love to see your pages as well. Create a page inspired by either of these pages or the kit let us know in the comments so we can come by for more inspiration.<br />

It's so hard to believe that winter has come and gone and we're almost halfway through the year. I used to think my Mama was not quite right in the head when she'd say how quickly time flies, but these days I know exactly what she was talking about. <br /><br />I think being aware of how quickly time flies and how important it is to capture all those moments in our lives before they're gone is what makes today's freebie so important to me. The talented Yvonne made a beautiful quick page from <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_238&products_id=13079"target="new">Memories</a>.

Stephanie lives in Washington State. She homeschools her two girls during the week and works weekends at a bounce house center. She loves reading, cooking, playing board games... Her favorite color is blue, but finds that since her girls came along she looks at pinks and purples consistently with a smile :)
<br />
Theresa is also a part of the team.
<br />
We have each used a different one of Katie's kits for our introduction pages. Do you know which kits were used? Let us know your favorite kit in the comments and your guesses on what has been used.

Better than that, it's only 7:30 on Saturday night and my homework for the rest of the week is done and turned in. I actually have a little free time for myself for a change, and I'm struggling over whether I want to go finish the 2nd book in The Hunger Games series, or play with graphics. Don't hate me, but I think reading is going to win. I'll have another sneak peek of my next kit for you for tomorrow's Sneak Peek Sunday.<br /><br />You can still get the 2nd quickpage made with Austin, and I hope that you like it as much as I do!<br /><br /><a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_238&products_id=26220" height="450" width="450" target="main"><img src="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/images/manka/MANNK-562_01.jpg" height="450" width="450"></a><br /><br /><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/glitter-and-unicorns/Misc%20Images/KatieMann_Austin_QuickPage2.jpg"><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/zip/QdkkrcAq/Austin_KatieMann_Freebie2.html" target="main">Download here</a><br /><br /><font size="+2">~Katie</font><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://twitter.com/katiemanndesign" target="new">My Twitter</a> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkatiemann.blogspot.com" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin It</a>

This one took a bit longer for a good reason. This is the kit that I've named for my son, Austin. I've done kits inspired by many of my family members, but haven't done one for the person who first inspired me to scrap and then to design. My son Austin is a complex individual. He likes to read and gets good grades. He likes to cook and craft. He even likes to go shopping and watch chick flicks. He also likes to play football, fish, and hang out with his Dad and uncles. I've tried to include a wide variety of papers and elements in this kit, because he is such a diverse personality.<br /><br /><a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_238&products_id=26220" height="450" width="450" target="main"><img src="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/images/manka/MANNK-562_01.jpg"></a><br /><br />I loved playing with this kit while I was making it, so I put together a couple of quick pages for you. I have the first one available for download now.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/glitter-and-unicorns/Misc%20Images/KatieMann_Austin_QuickPage1.jpg"><br /><br />This download is no longer available.

Badly. I live in the sticks (my apologies to the sticks, because they are probably more populated than where I live.) I work from home and go to school from home. Austin is in school all day, and my husband works really long hours. Really long. To put it mildly, I get a little (okay, a LOT!) lonely. <br /><br />I've been pinning pictures of kitties on Pinterest and sending the pictures to my husband in email. I've been looking at the local shelter website, and sending him links to likely looking kitties. Nothing. It was the only thing on my Christmas list. Nothing. <br /><br />Yesterday, my husband started sending ME links of kitties from the local shelters, and then he sent me a phone number about someone giving away kittens. I called. I described the kitties to him in IM, and he told me to have her hold TWO of them. So now I'm the proud mama of two adorable babies. And if you don't think I'm right about them being adorable, just look for yourself.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/glitter-and-unicorns/Misc%20Images/kittiesblog.jpg"><br /><br />Am I right, or am I right? That white lump is the toy lamb that I bought Austin when he was a baby. He didn't want the babies to be lonely or scared. Do you have pets? Do you scrapbook about your pets? Leave me a comment and share your layout links. I'd love to see your furbabies!<br /><br /><font size="+2">~ Katie</font><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://twitter.com/katiemanndesign" target="new">My Twitter</a> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkatiemann.blogspot.com" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin It</a>

Good artists steal."<br />Pablo Picasso</i><br /><br />Hi everyone, my name is Lori and going to help Katie highlight some things for the blog. Hopefully we will have full introductions within the next week of the team that is helping. I can be found in the <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/">Digitals gallery</a> as lorig.<br /><br />We wanted everyone to know about the challenge Katie is hosting at <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/forum/index.php">Digitals.</a> The <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/forum/showthread.php?p=113419#post113419">Scraplift challenge</a> for April and May has been posted. Katie has chosen a piece by Angie Young as the inspiration piece. It has many liftable elements. You could be inspired by the design, the colors, the mood invoked. Use that piece that inspires you most and create your own page then link it up in the <a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/galleria/">gallery at Digitals</a> for a bonus.<br /><br />Katie has created a mini kit to go with the Lovely in Lilac theme. For full details on how to earn this mini check out the challenge. You are welcome to leave a comment here as well. We'd love to see what you've entered. Hopefully we can all inspire each other.<br /><br /><br /><i>"Copy nature and you infringe on the work of our Lord.

My guys both stayed up way too late, and I went to bed early, so I woke up just as they went to bed. No fighting for computer time on this Sunday morning, and I decided to take advantage of it. I've been working on a new kit (and some coordinating freebies!) and decided to give everyone a sneak peek.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/glitter-and-unicorns/Misc%20Images/AustinSneakPeek1.jpg" alt="Sneak Peek Image" /><br /><br />Any guesses as to the theme?

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!<br /><br /><a href="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=333_334" target="_blank"><img src="http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/marketing/TangerineAd.jpg" height="450" width="450"></a><br /><br />
