Finally back! Come join the hop!

Hi all!

I know I have been away for a long time.....seems like forever actually; but I am back finally.  Well, for those that tend to follow my blog here is what has been going on since my last post.  I got "the crud" that has been going around and in the midst of it, I found out that my anemia is back in full force.  So for the last month, I have been battling the crud along with everyone in the house (luckily for them, it hasnt been as bad as for me), trying to get a schedule back after the holidays and fight this new round of IV Iron.  I think I have caught you up..... so to say the least, I have barely been keeping up with the Embroidery business (that is thankfully thriving), let alone work on digital scrapbooking design. 

However, I have had a few minutes here and there to participate in a couple of the collaborations for With Love Studio.  The one you get to see now is a beautiful blog hop that has replaced January's Daily Download.... its called Winter Blues.  It is filled with gorgeous shades of blues that will definately not give you the blues but warm your winter blues.

 

Before you get my part of the train, I wanted to let you in on some fantastic things also going on this weekend to help you fill your stash for not a lot of money.  There is a store wide yard sale for the weekend, where you can pick up some goodies from all the Designers for only $1.  If that wasn't enough, some of the Designers are also retiring many their designs at outstanding prices to include several of the XOXO Collaborations.  Finally, a sweet addition is that FranB Designs is celebrating her birthday with a 41% sale throughout her store for the weekend....woo hoo!  When you stop by her blog for the hop, make sure to say Happy Birthday!

 

 

 

Ok now that you have heard about all that.... here is your chance to pick up my part of the Blog Hop!

You should have come from Starry Eyed Designs by Amy (don't forget to stop by her FB page for another freebie)

and next, will hop on over to Chunlin Designs

Holiday Fun.... Hybrids, Freebies & Prizes Oh MY!!!

Good Monday Everyone!

I know I have been MIA for a while but I have been working on a lot of fun projects as well as celebrating birthdays and such.  All my boys, to include my DH, have birthdays from Thanksgiving to right before Christmas.... so to say the least, this time of the year is overwhelmingly busy.

I have however, completed a duo, new lovely colors (late but got them done) and am releasing a kit that was a feature elsewhere earlier in the year.

Let's start with all the fun that has started over at With Love Studio.  We are having our regular forum games but have added some new challenges just for the holiday and for our December XOXO Duo Collaboration where you can win fantastic prizes (wish I could enter...they are that good).  To participate and be entered into the drawing for the prizes, you have to purchase the XOXO Collaboration AND complete ALL of the special challenges - which will ultimately help you with your holiday list.  The challenges are gift tags, gift boxes, wine bottle tags, etc.

 

The sooner you pick up the XOXO Santa's Stocking with 8 complete kits, the easier on the holiday wallet.

Get it quick- as the month goes on the price goes up! Dec 1st-7th: $3.50 Dec 8th-14th: $4.00 December 15-21st: $4.50 December 22-31st: $5.00  

 

Here is my part that was helped out by Scrapping Artisry and my Gift Bag Challenge.

 

 

 

Click on any the previews above to go play!

And just to tease you about Friday...... here are my new releases coming on Friday.  Check back though as I am going to be doing some RAKs either here or on FB through out the month..... coupons, freebies and drawings.

 

Have a blessed week!

New Daily Download Freebie

Hi all..

Hope your week is going well.... and those of you from the States got to vote yesterday.  I just wanted to stop by and tell everyone THANK YOU so much for all the fun that was had over the last 2 weeks between the Halloween Treat or Treating and of course DSD.  I hope you all had fun and look forward to so much more fun coming up with the next several holidays.  But if you just can't wait for that, check out what the daily download freebie is over at With Love Studio (no worries if you missed the beginning....you can pick them all up through the 16th I think.... there are only 15 downloads).  Make sure to enter the Daily Download Challenge after you have gotten all the pieces for a chance to win some more goodies.

(preview is linked to the download area of the forum)

 

 

Have a blessed rest of the week!

 

 

Happy DSD!

Hey all!

I know that some of you have already started your DSD activities and shopping, but for those of you who have not, you best be on your way if you want to pick up the freebies, coupons, and deals!  I have so much going on this weekend, its just plain crazy.  I have a new release, lovely colors release and a lovely duo release.  I know.... totally not me to release so much.  On top of that, my shop is on sale, along with the entire With Love Studio Shop, for 40% off.  My lovely colors are only $1, but only for a short time.  Then I am also hosting the color challenge where my "In A Boys Pocket" is being featured.  Oh.... almost forgot - I have a new FB Freebie that coordinates with my lovely duo that you don't to miss.

Ok lets get to all the pretties!  My new release is "In A Boys Pocket" this was originally a duo that I have now separated.

 

And lovely layouts using my new release.... don't forget to run on over to the forum and enter the Color Challenge as it is the same colors as my kit.

 

 

 

Ok now on to my lovely colors for this month.  Seeing we had fall colors as our palette, I wanted to be a little different and went with a birthday theme because all my kid have birthdays from November through December.  This kit however is more about my oldest and his love of penguins and is called "Birthday Bounty".  Make sure to pick up the pieces while they are only $1 and remember that my kit coordinates with all the other designers lovely colors as well.

 

 

 

With everything I had coming out, I only have a birthday card to show you using this beautiful kit. 

   

 

Ok .... are you all still with me?  My final release this weekend is a Lovely Duo with Missy of Missy's Bits and Kelsey of KISS.  This was so much fun after my inspiration bug bit me.  Our kit is called "Eye Spy" and its all about spies..... boys and girls.  Hope you like it because you can pick it up for 40% off right now.

Tricks or Treats? Which do you want?

Good Friday everyone!

Well today starts all kinds of fun through Halloween.  Not just online, but in life.  We have Trunk or Treat tonight at the school, tomorrow Trunk or Treat at the church, soup party on Sunday (which will be a great need as the cold front with the rain started today), and then Halloween night we will take the kids out for a little while.  Should be interested since Xavier wants to be a Lego Ninjago (and the costume is only 1/2 done), Destyn is being Kirby (that pink video game character), and Chance is going to be so cute as Swampy, the alligator from the game "Wheres my Water?".  I will do my best to get some pictures as they are super excited about things this year.

Now on to the Trick and Treat for all of us adults that won't put any pounds on.....wooo hooo!

 

Alright.... the fun has already started over at the With Love Studio Forum.  Make sure that is your first stop as all the Designers have given out chances to already scoop up some Treats in your bags.  Make sure to "like" my Facebook page if you haven't, as I will be handing out some tricks exclusively there that you will not be able to get anywhere else.  Also the more friends you get to "like" my page the more likely I will want to be sweet!

 

Here is my new release for this week..... and just in time to be able to scrap all the wonderful Halloween pictures.

 

 

 

And of course I cannot just show you the preview but have to show you how beautiful the CT has done using it.

  

 

 

 

I hope this weekend keeps you safe (with the hurricane rolling up the coast) and you enjoy all the fun and games that I and the other Designers at With Love Studio have for you.

Here is a sneek at what I have coming next week.... and it will be contacted to a challenge so watch out!
 

 

Have a blessed weekend!

 

 

Holiday Fun just around the corner and New Release

Good Friday everyone!

I hope all has been good for everyone.  I have finally felt that I have gotten some things accomplished this week here and in my busy life as a mom and business woman.  Though turmoil may be on the horizon, I am going to just flow the way things are flowing now.  God has brought a fabulous new family into our neighborhood and life.  I hope to get her completely imersed in digital scrapbooking as she is already a scrapper and photography.... did I mention she sews too... all with 5 wonderful children.  Do keep her in your prayers though as she has only been here 2 weeks and they have already sent her DH to Afganistan until March.  Thanks!

Ok on to the good stuff!  First.... holiday fun is on the way so mark your calendars so you don't miss all the trick or treating fun.

 

With all that fun, who would want to miss it?  Ok now for my new release..... it is another previously separate Lovely Colors but now a single kit for you at a much lower price.  Please remember that you can get it even cheaper this weekend with the New Release Sale.

 

 

 

Here are some gorgeous layouts using this bright and happy kit!  Thanks Ladies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if you think I was done..... nope!  Here is my sneak for next weeks release!

 

Have a blessed week!

New Release and Sneak of Holiday Fun

Good day everyone!

I am a day late with my new release Friday but seeing its on sale all weekend, I think this time it will be ok.  I will be slowly combining my older "Lovely Colors" into one kit at a better price so if you weren't able to pick it up before, swing on by this weekend and get it for the best price all year.

This week is "Grey Skies" filled with the fun of playing under the cloudy skies in the rain.

 

Here are some outstading layouts from the Creative Team at With Love Studios...Thanks Ladies!

 

 

 

Now I have some bad news.... Trish H is retiring from scrapbooking but the good news for you is that she is got her shop all on sale and you can even Buy Her Shop for only $15.  You need to get over to the shop before her gorgeous designs are gone for good.

 

Finally..... the Designers and Teams at With Love Studios have a great Party coming up to celebrate the Halloween Season.  Check out that ad below and meet us all at the shop from the 26th through the 31st.

 

 

 

Have a blessed week..... and keep an eye out for a new release next week too!  Yeah, I know you will hear from me more than once a month?!?  Weird huh!!!!
