{Want to try to bend your photos?}

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Has anyone bought any of those packs where you can get that bended photo look? I did and I loved it, but then I thought “maybe I can make my own…” I was doing it back in 2005 when I was making siggies on a Mommies board but never thought to do it for scrapbooking! Check out the layout below that I just did using them. I’m sure they aren’t as good as the ones you’d pay for, so I’m giving them out for free. :) Hope you guys enjoy them! Thanks for all the sweet comments on my templates! I hope you enjoy using them!

My youngest daughter, Kaylee has been grumpy for the longest time. I had this great series of photos so I thought I should scrap it. :) Kit is Moody Boy by Melany Violette at Simply Clean Digi Scraps, fonts are LD Grunge & KGD Jennilyn, paper tears by Atomic Cupcake.

Don’t forget, if you want 25% off my stuff, use the coupon code JustBecause at my store by Sunday night!

{My baby won’t sleep!}

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

In her crib that is. Lately she’ll go down fine without a fuss, then as soon as you close the door or soon after, she starts crying. Ugh. She wouldn’t even go in her crib at all tonight so she’s sleeping on my DH on the couch right now. Last night she slept in our bed. Not fun. I hope it doesn’t happen again! If it weren’t for Kristen sleeping in the next room, I’d let her cry it out. Don’t want her to lose sleep though, so into our bed Kaylee comes.

I am not a ribbon virgin anymore! I finally bit the bullet and went to the Lily Pad today and got some of Natalie & Amy’s ribbons. Love how this layout turned out! Isn’t my girl a l’il sweetheart? :)

{Sleepy, a layout and a coupon!}

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Last night was not fun…first, DH came home about 5 minutes after the girls went to sleep so Kristen comes downstairs to say good night, thus waking up Kaylee (if she was even asleep) and she starts crying so I bring her downstairs for about a half an hour then she goes back to bed. About an hour and a half later she wakes up crying so we bring her down here for a half an hour again and put her back to bed. We got to bed at about 11:15 and I finally get to sleep after having a coughing fit when Kaylee wakes up crying AGAIN…into bed she comes with me and stays there for the night. I don’t sleep well with her in the bed, so I didn’t get much sleep. On top of that she pops up wide awake at 5:30am. UGH!

I did make another layout last night but since I promised I wouldn’t post again yesterday, I’m going to do it today. :) Anyone who knows Kristen knows she is NOT a shy girl so it’s funny when she pretends to be. :) Made this using Eve’s kit called Dancing Rainbow at SSD!

Today is weigh-in for me and I’ve lost another 2lbs. I’m not doing anything to lose weight really, but I’ve lost 7lbs in the last 3 weeks. Dunno why, but I’ll take it! :)

So, just for fun, I thought I’d give you all a coupon for 25% off anything in my store! Code is JustBecause, good for one use, expires Sunday night (the 28th). There are only 25 of them so you better use it while it’s available! :)

That may be it from me today, but then again, it might not be. LOL

{2 more layouts}

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

I scrapped 2 layouts today (one was shown in the post below)! But I forgot to show you the one I did for the ADSR challenge #6 where we had to swap photos with our partner. I was so scared to do this because I know how well published Angela is and I’d hate it if she didn’t like what I made for her. But, she says she loves it, so I guess that’s good. :) Kit is my own called Aileen and is the sampler for the upcoming sampler pack at The DigiShoppe.

And this one I just love. My 2 girls. :) Kaylee was only a month old here and was just in awe of her big sister. I just bought Debbie Knorr’s “Bend It!” templates at Scrapbook-Bytes. Too cool! Kit is Eve Recinella’s Candy Giggles at SSD.

Okay, I swear, that’s the last post for today. :)

{Thursday}

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

So last night was wonderful….Kaylee slept great, I slept great, she didn’t wake up until 7:30am! Awesome! We then got up and went downstairs. I gave her breakfast and then went to do the dishes (yes, I wait until the next morning to do them :P). Turned on the tap and….no water! Frozen pipes! Ugh! So I called DH and he told me what to do. Go downstairs in the playroom, turn up the heat, open up the electrical panel and box where the water pipes are and take a blow-dryer to them to unfreeze them. Before I did that I had to clean up the room though because Kaylee had to come down with me and there were too many little bits all over the place from Kristen playing down there. All in all it took about an hour to fix. At least they didn’t burst!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! As of February 1st, Ashley Olson is the new owner of The DigiShoppe! Janel & Misty both want to use their time for family and designing and not so much admin stuff. They’ll still be selling at TDS though so they’ll be around. :) On Feb. 1st we are going to have a big blow-out bash to celebrate! Sales, chats, a collab kit, and much more! So stick around for more info!

Here’s a layout I did yesterday for my sister. Hence the reason for no title or journaling. I’m going to be ordering a bunch of magnets for her birthday next month and I doubt she’d care there’s a title on it (what would I call it anyway?) and you wouldn’t be able to read journaling (again, what would I say?) so here it is, plain and simple. :)

And here’s a recipe card I did for a challenge at New Beginnings.

That’s it for today! Terrah! :)

{I’ve been tagged!}

Monday, September 25th, 2006

I’ve been tagged by Nikki!

These are the rules to play blogtag:
List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. Tag 5 friends and list them. Those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people. Don’t forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog! Here are my weird things-

1. I have no sense of smell. And yes, I can definitely taste! :P
2. I am a lefty and for most of my life it was just my uncle and I that were. Now there’s my nephew and my daughter, and possibly my other daughter as well. :)
3. There’s always something wrong with me healthwise. It’s getting really annoying.
4. I do not wear perfume or nail polish. Hate the stuff!
5. I do not chew gum and will not let my girls chew it either. Disgusting!

I am going to tag…
Melanie Greene
Lauren Reid
Eve Recinella
Sue Setiadji (now you’ll HAVE to update your blog! LOL)

{You’re gonna check this out right?}

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

TDS is reopening it’s shoppe on Friday! How excited am I? I’ve heard there’s going to be some great sales and other events too. I’ve cleared my schedule for this day. It is going to be awesome!

Here are some layouts I did this weekend using Sal’s kits. She is now selling her designs along side her friend Michelle Rottler (the pair are known as Frick & Frack) at Digital Freebies! These designs were so easy to work with! Perfect for heritage pages. Keep an eye out for these gals … they are mighty talented!

{Cruisin’}

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Kaylee started cruising Saturday! She’s doing it slowly, but she can cruise from one side of the coffee table to the other. So the past few weeks have been very productive for her! Pulling up, drinking milk and now cruising! I am very proud of her, but I think my baby is growing up too quickly… :(

I was talking to the head honcho at ************ and she wants to keep the announcement until right before the special thing happens so now I can’t tell anyone (well, not anyone…I’ve told a few people close to me) until September 1st! Although, I’m sure most of you have figured it out by now since you are all so smart. :) Get ready for a sale, a freebie, and new kits!

Oh yeah, did you notice I changed my blog again? It’s a sneak peek at one of the new kits debuting next week. :)

{Got me some style!}

Monday, August 14th, 2006

I just had to redo my blog with Grunge Boi…we’ll be coming out with a collab in a few weeks, so I figured before I redecorate it with that, I gotta try it with this! How’s it look?
