Eek! Sorry I forgot!

And of course I totally forgot to come back.

Okay! Here are some examples of blinkies I've made.

This one was made for Zakirah using her kit, It's a Charmed Life, which is one of the most gorgeous kits ever!



Here's the very very first blinkie I got paid for (Ellie insisted) using Ellie Lash's adorable She Dreams!



I can't resist throwing a little toot in here! The LO I scrapped for the ScrapMatters Speed Scrap with She Dreams actually made it into Bella Scraps Magazine! I don't have to LO with me because I'm at work and I deleted it from all of my galleries but I'll be back to post it!

There are several more blinkies, but I don't want to flood you with them so I'll jsut show two more I've made recently.





The first one was made with Franziska Altmann's Bohemian Rock Candy, which is available at both Sunshine Studio Scraps and Scrap Orchard! I made Ziska a CT blinkie too... and I'll be back to show it off when I make some changes, namely because I'm a "VIP Guest" for Ziska!

I have to get back to work... but I'm going to try to keep up with my blog better.

Sorely needed update!

Hey! I haven't updated my blog in wayyy too long! And I kinda want to make that post below go onto another page. LOL.

I've been a busy busy girl making blinkies! I opened up shop at Scrap Orchard and been trying to desperately keep up. Lol. My procrastination isn't helping much.

Summer's here so I'm working in a lab, which means I have less time. Luckily I'll be done come mid-August so I can devote even more time to scrapping! YAY!

I have several pieces of news, but I'll be back later tonight, hopefully, to post some examples of blinkies and recent LOs...

Slightly Disillusioned

I absolutely LOVE the scrapping world and have not yet met someone that is not ridiculously kind and fun to talk to. It was disappointing, therefore, for me to find that there are definitely people in the scrapping world that are... well... not so kind! I was reading some comments about grab bags and was really sad to see that many of the commentors were basically talking "smack" about the bags. I think that I feel the old saying, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything, I mean... if you don't like it, say it's not your style and that you're not going to buy it. But I think it's completely unwarranted to accuse designers of copying other designers and saying they have no talent! Honestly... there's only so much that can be done! There will always be the "staple" elements of flowers and leaves and staples and buttons and such. What I love about the digi-scrap world is that there are so many different takes on such things! I think what really set this off for me was seeing a few posts that said Scrap Orchard only had designers that were copy cats and basically had no talent. That made me mad because I LOVE all the designers at SO and think they ooze talent. Yes, to each their own, but I think it's rude to say something so degrading and hurtful. That being said I'm PROUD to be a CTM for Scrap Orchard and think the designers there are FABULOUS! I'm done with my rant, that probably won't be read as I have few readers, and that's that. I'm disappointed to see the uglier side of scrapping but I still love it! I'll be back soon with some exciting news. I have some stuff to show off but photobucket is dying on me. :(

Ridiculously lazy!

Sorry girls! I haven't blogged in weeks! I don't have that freebie I promised (sorry) but I do have some exciting news! I was asked to stay on as a permanent CT member for Sunshine Studio Scraps! Do you see my pretty blinkie at the side? I MADE IT! Lol! I discovered how fun it is to make blinkies... so I volunteered to make them for all the Sweeties, as Amanda, who was making them before, lost access to her computer. :( Did you girls attend the Grand Opening? It was tons of fun and we gave away lots of prizes!

More exciting news... I was also asked to be on the Site CT for Scrap Orchard, though I'm now more of a Gal Friday than a CTM. LOL!

I have a bunch of stuff going on, most notably blinkie-making for a bunch of my CTs and YEARBOOK SIGNING! It's the end of the school year and I'm running around trying to get all the yearbooks signed.

Alright. I should get back to work! I'll try to be a more reliable blogger!!

Slacking but a Template Freebie

I have made TONS of layouts but I am way to lazy to post them up right now. So I know I promised a brag book page but I've been super busy and haven't had time to zip and upload it yet. AP Tests are coming up! GAH! So instead I'm offering you a two-page template I created for Scrap Orchard's So You Think You Can Design Challenge. I've never made a two-page layout before so I hope you like it! Please leave me some love! Thanks so much.

More layouts, QPs and my very first freebie!

So the fabulous Carolyn Kite, who sells under the name of Scrap N Tag, is allowing me to create with her GORGEOUS designs. Seriously. If you haven't seen her designs yet you HAVE to check them out. They are stunning. Here's a preview of her newest kit, linked to her store.



Annnnddddd! Here are some QPs, two of which I made!! They are the FIRST things that I've made that are available for other people to buy so please go check them out! Carolyn even has them on sale for a week. Only $2.00 for four gorgeous pages.



Here is my layout using one of the QPs I made. It's linked to DST if you'd like to leave me some love!



And since you made it so far here is my very first freebie for you, made using Carolyn's fun little mini kit Island Girl! The next time I post (which might not be for a week or so unfortunately, as I am off to the East Coast to visit a college and coming back Wednesday only to leave again Thursday morning to visit yet another college) I promise to have another brag book page for you! So here's the preview and the link! Please leave me some love, as I'd love to know what you guys think of my first freebie! Enjoy!

Slacking on blogging but not scrapping!

So I haven't posted in a long time but I've been making layouts almost every day!! I got accepted on some more CTs, which I'm really excited about. It's so amazing that people want me to work with their gorgeous kits, when I've only been scrapping for about two months! So here are all the layouts I've made recently.

First of all here are two for LorieM, made with her kit Happy 2gether.

And here is one with her kit Lil Ladybug.

Here are two layouts made using Everlasting Moments by Michelle Yiap--another one of the amazing designers I'm working with.

This one is made using Once Upon a Mattress by Danielle Engebretson. It's such a fun whimsical kit!

Whew!! That's all for now. I'll be back tomorrow to link all the kits. Uploading the images took too much effort already. ;]
