Celebrate!

I know you're all excited about my next collab with Nicole, but there's just a bit of housekeeping to take care of first:

Each Monday is Manic Monday at Taggers Scraps. Select items are on sale for only $1. I always have a few kits available for these sales. This week I'm offering:

Puppy Dog Tails
Sugar & Spice
Cornucopia of Colors That's 75% off for some of these - you can't beat that!
But remember, it's only Monday, so be quick to snag it!

Second: I have a new blinky, so grab that too, if you want. (In the left side bar under my "about me" and "contact info".)

Third: Nicole had a CT call a while back, and I was lucky enough to be selected to join, so without further ado, I'd like to share the first layout I made as an official CT member:

{That's me getting my BFA with my sweet supportive husband}

Isn't it SUPER cute! (Even if I do say so myself...) Don't you love the ribbons and the stars and the great colors! I sure do... That's why I designed some of them! hehehe ;) That's right - this was made using our latest collab!

Introducing..... {drum roll please}....

CELEBRATE!This kit has been retired..

This is was really fun - and challenging at the same time. Both Nicole and I were sort of going through a creative slump and had a hard time getting it off the ground, but it all came together in the end. I hope you like it! Be sure to jump on over to her blog to grab her portions and meet the rest of her CT - and leave her some love, too! :)

Puppy Dog Tails Mini Kit

Well, this post is much earlier in the night than normal, so hopefully some of you will get a chance to snag this today! For now, I'm going to work on my super-fun collab with Nicole.. Can't wait for you all to see what we've got so far.. .. but you can't... not until Sept. 22nd! (So far away, I know...)

Update: The ZIP file really is to Puppy Dog tails, not Pink Lemonade. Thanks, Melissa, for letting me know about my mistake. Enjoy!

PDT Quick Page

Here's another great quick page from Lori. Hop on over to her blog to download...


And here's a sneak peak at my next kit... hope to have it out by Friday...

I've Been Tagged...

Well... since we're in a bit of a freebie hiatus, I thought I'd answer to the tags from JessA and Amanda and let you get to know me a little better...

7 Facts about me:

1. I've been married for 4 years to a wonderful man who makes me laugh every day.
   
2. My husband and I didn't go on a date until after we had been engaged for 2 weeks.
3. I have a sweet 6-month-old little boy.
4. My 2 kitties are my babies.
   
5. I graduated with my BFA in Theatre Stage Management 3 years ago.
6. I don't believe in wearing shoes.
7. Running is something that should only be done if someone is chasing you in a life-threatening manner.

Now I'm supposed to tag 7 other people.... I don't exactly visit a lot of scrapper blogs... I guess I'll just go through my comments and see who has blogs... hold please....

1. Jonni
2. Smalls
3. Inge
4. Jen Graham
5. Danielle
6. Caryn

Well... there were only six of you, so good luck!

Anyway - I do have some layouts to share with you. And I have to admit, I totally cheat and use templates because I just haven't been able to make my brain work creatively in that way. This template came from Celine, who does great work. I wanted something to show off Sugar & Spice... I think this did the trick.


And here's a page using JessA's template and PDT.


Anyway, I can't wait to see what you all have come up with using my kits, so please send me links and I'll post, post, away!

Ribbons

Only 4 comments yesterday! :( Oh well.... I guess I'll still put out the freebie today... Here are the ribbons for Puppy Dog Tails. Hope you have fun... and let's see some layouts!... [or at least some comments....] ;)

Puppy Dog Buckles

Here are some fun buckles you can use with the kit.... more coming soon!

PDT Alpha 2

Even though my previous kits all contained 2 alphas, the 2 sets were always very similar.... usually the same shape and size, just a different color or pattern. This time I wanted to mix things up a bit, so here is the second alpha for Puppy Dog Tails, and you can bet it's pretty different than the first one. I think it captures the rambunctious spirit of little boys a bit better.

Ribbon Straps

I know, it's a silly name, but I couldn't think of anything better to call them... oh well, they're still cute... A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, right?

PDT Elements

Not much to say... I'm not really all that chatty... Just get to the business of things and move on... So - here you go! :)

Alphas!

Here are some matching alphas to go with Puppy Dog Tails and Sugar & Spice. Enjoy!

P.S. For my future knowledge, which do you prefer:

1. a single file that contains all the letters which you then have to split apart to use
2. a separate file for each individual character (like what I currently do)

Puppy Dog Tails

Well - my last two kits have been very bright and bold, so I thought I'd step away from that for my next one... Puppy Dog Tails is a soft and gentle kit intended to show off your beautiful little miracle (what can I say, I'm a bit biased because of my sweet boy). Don't worry, though - there's a female version of the kit on its way shortly... Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
