Update

So it's very well established that I am a horrible blogger right? Good:) LOL Well let's see so much has been going on in our personal life but I won't go there tonight!! Also I am back to designing w/ my baby sister again for Plain Digital Wrapper s that consumes alot of my time. BUT Last month I also joined their Creative Team so I am resolving to get better at blogging, not just here but on our design blog as well!! I'll come back a little later and get caught up with all our new CT LO's so that I can start this blog anew and hopefully keep up with it!!!

Ha so per usual I am a horrible blogger, I'm so glad that has been previously established! Somehow "tomorrow" turned into about 17 days later, oops ;) Been busy doing family togetherness stuff my Aunt was here visiting from Maine the past week, sad to see her go. But anyway I am back to post some CT LO's, for now I'll just show the one's from her three newest kits...

First is Prism


The first one was done for one of the ADSR challenges.

The next two were done for challenges at PDW..



Next is Vivre

And from her latest kit Licorice Parfait:

Guess what....

OK so I decided the other day that since my blog was looking rather outdated I should revamp it. I made up a new header and then set about to change the look *sigh* 3 hours later I ended with this rather boring setup we have going on here. Maybe I will tackle it again when I have a few spare moments and am feeling more technologically inclined.

So remember I said I found a new "home" at PDW, amazingly friendly group of gals& a few "old" faces, I'm loving it. ANYWAY so I have just been accepted to be on the Julie. ItIs. CT :) Since I have been feeling rather rusty from my digi-scrap hiatus it's kind of nice to feel like HEY maybe I still got it! Ha geesh I remember the days when I was juggling 6 CT's, I don't think I am going to be doing that to myself again anytime soon but I am SUPER excited because I LOVE her work. Y'all have got to go check it out and I will be back later on tonight or in the morning to post the LO's I have done w/ her kits so far.

PDW Wrap Star LO's

OK so Week One was called "Some assembly required"and we got a template and this AWESOME kit called Firefly by Southern Creek Designs to play with.



Week 2 was "Wow! I didn't expect that" in which we used the kit Tidings by Starving Artist Design but the catch was to show versatility and scrap non-holiday photo's with it.



Week 3 was called "The Thank You Note" and it was (for me anyway) a 2 part challenge because we got to choose a kit from Julie ItIs's store and then journal about something we were proud of (the photo's couldn't include faces). I worked with Savor and here's my LO...



The final week was "Tear it Up" and we worked with Everyday Moments by ScrapDZines.




What a blast!!! This has definitely got me excited about scrapping again:) Hmm I am also realizing my blog DEFINITELY needs a major redo! Think I shall work on that!

MIA...

Hmm so I have been MIA from the Digi-world for quite a while. First I got busy designing and couldn't keep up with designing and scrapping the way I wanted. Then Real life started interfering and so I just took a hiatus from it all.

Most of the places I used to frequent seem to have disappeared but I have been hanging out at Plain Digital Wrapper and wow what a super sweet bunch of ladies there! They have also just finished a contest called "Wrap Star" that I have been participating in and I've had SOOO much fun remembering how much I love digi-scrapping and a good challenge. I'll post the LO's in a little bit, it seems obvious to me I am still a bit rusty though so try not to laugh, please:)

Slacking

Hmmmm, so it's been previously established in the past that I am a HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, NO GOOD blogger; right? Ever since I started designing I have been way worse though, right? I've just had so much on my plate lately that finding the time to blog has kind of fallen by the wayside but I really do want to get back to blogging, on all 3 of my blogs; this one, our design blog, and my Motherless Daughter one.

I also haven't had much time for scrapping what with designing and have dropped most of my CT's; in fact I am currently only on Brandi White's CT now. I'm tired and getting ready for bed but thought I would show off the CT LO I did a few weeks ago AND show off the desktop I did for a challenge @ DSG just to show y'all how big my adorable "niece & nephew" have gotten.

I've been Tagged

OK well after over a month of not Bloging guess I am catching up by doing 2 posts today, LOL.I was reading Leslie's blog after I already posted and saw that she tagged me with these Questions SO here are my answers! :)

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
I HATE wrapping but for Christmas I usually do wrap quite a bit but use bags for those odd sized/shapped presents=)

2. Real or Artificial tree?
Artificial, a real tree would never last a whole month here in FL, plus they're EXPENSIVE since they have to be shipped here from the northern states. Oh and it's so much less hassle, shove it in a bag and store it in the attic, lol.

3. When do you put up the tree?
The weekend after Thanksgiving, after we've recouped from Black Friday;)

4. When do you take the tree down?
Ummm, whenever we get around to it, sometime between the days preceding Christmas and New Years.

5. Do you like Eggnog?
Not really a fan, I have an aversion to anything with a strange texture and uhh eggnog definitely has a strange texture.

6. Favorite Gift you received as a child?
My Mom always worked really hard to get most everything on my Christmas list. But one thing I LOVED (ans miss now) was that she always put Tranquil Moments Shower gel (by Avon) in my Stocking. Also there was always a family gift under the tree that was a box full of family movies from a club they joined. It was so scool to open them and read what they were about and then watch them together as a family.

7. Do you have a nativity scene?
Yes, kind of. Last year my Dad bought me a lil precious moments ceramic natitvity that has Mary, Joeseph, baby Jesus, and the manger.

8. Hardest person to buy for?
My Dad and Tom, Men they're hard! Oh and my Grandparents aren't that easy either, they have everything they want or can buy it and won't ever give you ideas.

9. Easiest person to buy for?
My "niece" and "Nephew" kids are so easy and fun to buy for, yay I get scope out the toys=)

10. Worst Christmas gift ever received?
Hmmm, can't really say I have ever gotten a bad Christmas git, sometimes I get clothes that don't fit but they can always be exchanged for the right size. My family knows my style, thank goodness, lol.

I Tag Mego, Mary, and anyone reading this that hasn't answered=)

I'm Back

OH MY, I have been a HORRIBLE blogger, now haven't I??? I am so sorry that I haven't been updating. Things have just been crazy, hectic around here. First my Nephew was in the hospital for 5 days and got to come home RIGHT before thanksgiving. And now it just seems with the holidays there is SOOO much to do that I can't find time to get it all done!!

Oh yeah and my lil sis and I joined a Design contest at Digital Scrap Garden (The link will take you to the preview of our second week Kit). We're having a TON of fun but boy has that put me behind as well. OK So since I have been such a slacker I will give you the last two freebies for the kit I was giving out and the add-on will be posted tomorrow.



Elements
Green Alpha

First Freebie- Part 2

OK so I REMEMBERED to get up and post the second part of the freebie this morning=) But first things first this poor kit doesn't have a name! As of right now I am just calling it "Mego's Birthday" so I would LOVE some suggestions on names for this kit=) The person to come up with a name will get a special Add-on! Would y'all like to see a couple LO's I did with this kit?





OK so here is the second part of the kit, the papers(and if you looked at my LO's that gives you a sneak preview of some of them=):

A Freebie

OK, so do y'all remember back in September the previews of the kit I was making for my baby sis's birthday? Well, I have now figured 4Shared and have decided to give it away as a freebie. I am going to start with the Pink Alpha. And going to TRY to remember to give away one part per day. There are 4 parts, 2 alpha's, elements, and Papers. So here's a preview of the alpha, made with one of the paper's & elements & a pic of my baby sis and I=); just click the preview to Download the alpha.
