{Wanna play in the Clubhouse @ JLD?}

Friday, June 29th, 2007

To celebrate Canada and Independence Day, I am having a sale from tomorrow June 30th to Wednesday July 4th!

There will be a new Loot Bag in the store tomorrow as well along with a chat in my Lounge on Sunday night at 9pm EST! Hope to see you there!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So who would like to be on my CT? I am looking for a few new girls to help me promote my designs. The main thing I am looking for someone who is a presence at DST. I don’t want someone who just scraps a page and does nothing else. So if you’d like to be on my CT and can do the required 3 layouts a month and post to JLD, DST & 2 other galleries, just wear this blinkie then post to my threads at either DST, JLD or comment here to let me know you’re wearing it!

My CT and I will be looking at everyone’s galleries and will make a decision within the next few weeks! Can’t wait to see you apply!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I finally scrapped my Easter pics yesterday! I bought the kit way back in March but never got around to scrapping the holiday…don’t know why! Anyway, I finally did it, and here’s what I came up with! Which reminds me, I never put this in the Praise Game yesterday!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well, tomorrow I am off to my parents house for the weekend! I’m getting my hair cut on my way out of town, then when I get to my hometown, my mom and I are going shopping! I need to get something to wear to my brother’s wedding next weekend and the girls need to have something for their hair & feet since they are going to be flowergirls! It’ll be so weird to do whatever I want without worrying about what to do with the girls. I am SOOOO excited!!

So, because I’ll be away, I won’t be able to check my e-mails much, so if there is a problem with your purchases or anything to do with the site, I will try to fix it when I get back Sunday night! Thanks!

{Fix for alpha!}

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

{Wave to the Queen!}

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

I’m Queen of the Day today at DST! Go here and find out a bit about me!

So here’s what I just put into the Toybox this morning! Go here to check them out! You can grab all 4 Doodly Doo packs for a combo price!

Finally, I did a layout last night with Kristen’s 5 year portrait using Melissa Bennett’s Marmalade kit. The colors were perfect for it!

So yesterday I was able to go gift & grocery shopping by myself! Instead of just picking up Kristen and leaving, my MIL stayed to watch the girls while I went out then took Kristen with her when I got home. Took me an hour and a half to get my shopping done and only a half an hour to get groceries. I bought DH “National Treasure” and “Clerks: The Animated Series Uncensored“. He’s been wanting National Treasure for a while and we just never got around to buying it. And Clerks…well, I just needed to buy something else and since he likes the movies, I figured he might like the cartoons. LOL

That’s it for me! Have a great Thursday!

{I’m such a weasel!}

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I slid my way into KristinCB’s CT by sweet talking her. LOL Actually, she’s been a friend for a while now and I made a blinkie for her (using graphics she made) so I just said that it was so cool I’m going to have to sport it in my siggie, and she said “okay!” LOL I’m loving her new Shimmer Shoppe stuff & her new kit Oh Happy Day at SBG! Gonna have to get down to some serious work now using her stuff!

I just put in the Toybox what I was giving out at the chat the other night…my new set of scalloped double folded corner templates! Get them here for only$3!

So I did end up scrapping yesterday..I’m really getting into using my CS2 for templates and thought it would be easier to do it in 12×12 first rather than resizing everything then putting it into the page…well, it took longer because of that so I didn’t finish it until this morning. Anyway, here it is, using Carrie’s “Rockin Robin” kit and my template for this week’s Cheaters Challenge @ JLD!

That’s it for me today! Next thing I make will be a set of 8.5×11 templates.

I thought I’d be nice to the people that get paid today and extend my sale until tonight, so if you want something at 50% off, you have until midnight to get it!

Also, check this out! I just started a custom blinkie service!

Nothing to show today…maybe I’ll scrap so I’ll have something to show you tomorrow

{Happy Birthday Kristen!}

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

I can’t believe my baby is 5 already!! It seems just like yesterday that I was in the hospital having an emergency c-section because she was 10 days over, had no measurable amount of amniotic fluid and her heart rate would drop with every contraction. She turned out perfect though…look at her at 2 days old!

And look at my girl now…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

SALE! SALE! SALE!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I will be having a chat at 10pm EST in the Lounge at JLD with prizes and a little freebie that you won’t want to miss! Hope to see you there! Here’s a layout I made using the freebie….but what part? Hmm…;)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here’s the freebie I’ve been telling you about! It was originally part of the Bring a Friend kit at DST, but will not be given out any longer, so I thought I’d give it away here because I think it’s really cool. Enjoy, but don’t forget to leave me a comment if you take it! Thanks!

See y’all tonight!!

{CSNTCTM}

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

That stands for “Carrie Stephen’s Next Top Creative Team Member” because that’s what I am!! LOL She messaged me yesterday and told me she wanted me to stay on her CT forever! Of course I said yes… LOL I made her a new blinkie too, so not only has it moved from my “Guest CT” list, but it’s a new one too! I’m thinking I should start a blinkie making business…I’ve made my own, Eve Recinella’s and now Carrie’s

Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow. It’s Kristen’s 5th birthday! I’ll be having a 50% off sale, a chat at 10pm EST and a freebie for everyone!

I had time to scrap yesterday, so I decided to use Eve’s Fancy Free kit at SSD! It’s of my youngest daughter Kaylee at 3 months old. She was wearing overalls because we were getting our family portrait taken at the time and we were all wearing red shirts and jeans (the girls both wore overalls) and I didn’t have a more girly red shirt for her to wear

Credits here for “Kaylee @ 3 months”

Here’s my entry for SSD’s From Our Blog to Yours~ “Love it or Hate It?”

Scary Movies- Love them!! During my last pregnancy I couldn’t stand them. Made me queasy. couldn’t wait to have Kaylee so I could get back to watching those movies. LOL

Amusement Parks- Hate them. Well, don’t HATE them, but I don’t care to go to them at all.

Valentines Day- Love it I guess.

Working out- Hate it! If you saw what I looked like, you’d know that LOL
Tattoos- Love them. Don’t have any, but hubby does.

Guacamole- Never had it before, but I have tried avocados and they are gross, so I guess I’d say Hate it!

Hillary Clinton- I’m sure she’s a great person, so Love her.

Napolean Dynamite - the movie- LOVE it!!

Meat Loaf- Hated it as a kid, then I started making it last year and loved it, until we all got food poisoning from it in January (bad mommy left the hamburger out too long) so now I’m back to Hating it. LOL

Forwarded Emails (videos, stories, etc.)- Hate them pretty much. There’s an odd few I like though.

The Cheaters Challenge is up for week 2 at JLD! If you need help making a cool layout, cheat a little bit using a new Cheaters Challenge template every 2 weeks! Head on over to my Playroom to challenge yourself!

That’s it for today! I’ll be back tomorrow with that freebie!

{Happy Victoria Day!}

Monday, May 21st, 2007

That’s the holiday we’re celebrating here in Canada today in honour of Queen Victoria’s birthday! I have been busy the past few days and have created a bunch of goodies for you that will be released on Thursday and a few layouts! I won’t be showing you the goodies right yet, but I can show you my layouts and some pictures from my daughter’s 5th birthday party she had on Saturday! I am having a 50% off sale on Wednesday and a chat at 10pm EST that night too, so you won’t want to miss out on that!

This first layout I did for Anne DeJong @ Funky Playground Designs using her My Garden Journal papers & paper flowers, a template by me from my new Scallopini template set that will be in the Toybox on Thursday & a cardboard overlay by LindaGB @ ScrapArtist.

This one was done using stuff by Carrie Stephens and my new Fairy Dust overlays coming to the Toybox on Thursday as well!

Okay, so you got a small sneak peek at what’s coming to my store…but that’s all yer gettin’! LOL

Here’s a collage of pictures from Kristen’s party! She had such a fun time at her party. The only kids that were there were my 3 nephews, my niece and Kaylee. All her loved ones were there…it was perfect!

That’s it for me for today…I’ll be back tomorrow with a sale & chat reminder!

{bigger SALE & more goodies!}

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

Since I was away yesterday and didn’t get to join in on any NSD fun, I decided to have some fun of my own and have a 40% off sale until tomorrow night! It includes all the new goodies I’m about to show you too, so you gotta run to the Toybox to check it out!

First off, my loot bag has been open and you can now get the contents of it individually!

And here is the new stuff!

For the From Our Blog to Yours survey that La made…

Q1: If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

I would love to go to Denmark and see Eve (Recinella). Not only because she’s my friend but because she’s shown me pictures of Copenhagen and it is gorgeous! Australia would also be nice to see.

Q2: What cartoons do you absolutely detest & refuse to allow anyone to watch {be it child, spouse- haha, nieces/nephews.. etc just plain donâ€™t want it viewed on your television)?

I don’t mind watching cartoons (although I don’t like Max & Ruby too much), but I don’t let my girls watch The Doodlebops. After a while they get too annoying.

Q3: You just woke up, youâ€™re a mess, havenâ€™t showered, there are dishes in the sink.. Thereâ€™s a knock at the door, what do you do?

I answer the door. Do it all the time

Q4:When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thought that ran through your mind?

You look terribly gross! (Didn’t take a shower today)

Q5. Tell me a story about your Dad..

My Dad almost died in a motorcycle accident in 2003. He was on his bike coming home to get ready to come visit us and an SUV pulled out of a parking lot, not seeing Dad, and rammed into him, destroying his left knee. If it wasn’t for someone using their belt as a tourniquet, he would’ve bled to death. He had to wear a knee brace for a year and a half because he had no bone in the back of his knee that would stop it from bending backward. After a lot of physiotherapy and check-ups, he finally got a knee replacement in 2005 and will never ride a motorcycle again. My mother won’t allow it.

Q6: You open your drawer, find 1 pink polka dotted sock and 1 black sock with reindeer on it.. Do you wear them together and hope no one sees them or go without socks today & hope your feet donâ€™t get sweaty?

No socks for me. I’d likely just be staying at home anyway, and if the weather is warm, I don’t wear socks.

Q7: Are there any strange stains on your carpet, floor, walls, ceiling or couch? Do you know how they got there?

Some stains on the carpet downstairs. I thnk they are drops of juice, but I’m not sure.

Q8: Are you neighbors annoying???

My neighbor that is attached to me is. She divorced her husband after having an affair with a guy from the internet and since then her house has become a slum. Doesn’t look too good for selling our house in a few years.

Q9: Are you a phone person.. if I called you right now would you chat with me? lol

I usually don’t like to talk on the phone, but if one of my internet friends was to call me, I’d totally chat with them!
Q10: What colour popsicle would you like.. Orange, Purple, Red, Yellow, Green, Pink or Blue?

Umm…brown? I love chocolate and root beer popsicles! But, they don’t come in packs you can get at the grocery store, so I guess I’d have to say purple.
