Digital Scrap Designs

I'm working on getting my domain finally up and running. It will be a store for designer resources, and scrap for hire ok products! :)

http://digitalscrapdesigns.com/

Hope you will come by and take a look. With the holidays pressing down, we won't be opening officially until Jan., tentatively scheduled for Jan. 7th.

:) If you sell products that would work in the store, we are looking for more designers! You can send samples and short bio to: scraps@digitalscrapdesigns.com

Here are a few new overlays sets I just added to the store:



Come check them out here:

Well the major holidays are upon us... I still have so much shopping to do, but it's so cold now I am not looking forward to getting out too much. We are supposed to have icy roads by morning, brrr.

But at least tonight Im all toasty inside and had a little time to do some playing around and make a free quickpage and word art for you! I hope you enjoy it, and it makes a nice little gift for you or someone you love.

My family is finally getting over the bug we had, I may have to make a trek back to the dr myself. I am keeping a low grade fever still and clogged ear. Winter never seems to be very friendly to me. But here's hoping its gone and forgotten by Christmas time!

Please leave a little love when you download. It really does only take a couple of seconds, not much compared to the time a designer puts into creating something for you. :) Thank you to those who do always leave a comment, it really brightens my mood everytime I read what you all have written.

You can download the free qp and word art here.

This quickpage was originally given out during the Deco-Pages.com Birthday Bonanza a few months ago, so if you atteneded that you may already have it... check your files. :)

Hope you enjoy, and hope you will check out the kit this was created from as well!

Please leave a little love, it only takes a moment and you can even do it while waiting for the download to start or while its downloading! :D

So how many of you have your Christmas shopping already done and stashed away?? I'm hoping hubby gets a little bonus is a couple of weeks that we can get a few things with. It's been a really slow year this year with my surgeries putting me out of commission for a while.

Well winter is definitely in the air here, so it put me in the mood to make a little freebie. It's been freezing here, a few flurries but no major snow... and already we have the winter ickies! Fevers and me with an ear ache, hopefully not to become an infection which I seem to get every year or two.

I hope you enjoy this little labor of love, and I hope you will take a moment to leave a comment. I love reading them, and would love to see any pages you create as well.

Please be sure to read the terms of use. No redistribution allowed, please link back to my blog if you'd like to share this with someone, and not the download link. :) Thanks! And Scrap On!!

We got these kittens around May I think, they were brothers. They always like to steal one of the computer chairs if we leave it for more than 10 seconds lol. You can hardly tell where one ends and the other begins. On the left is Elmo (DD's cat) all curled and asleep, and the right is Mac (DS's cat). This was taken with my Olympus Evolt 500, which I love love love. Did I mention I love my camera?? LOL

We actually have 4 birds, a dog, and one fish right now also. Whew, quite a zoo around here.

So this is a little mini kit freebie I made for Nov 2006 Newsletter at Deco-Pages.com, I thought I'd share it again here now in case anyone could find further uses for it. :)

Yesterday we went and gathered some pecans. I am trying to decide now if I want to try my hand at a pecan pie which I have never made before, or stick with something easier like a coffee cake with pecan topping...

Just another sign its already getting "that time of year", the urge to bake more, want to be outside enjoying the fall colors, having to think about Christmas shopping which we are already running late on.... lol. Oh and I plan to start halloween shopping / decorating later today if all goes as planned.

I have been sticking to my schedule for riding the stat. bike at least some every day. Usually at least 5 miles. So I am staying motivated there and hoping to get better at it. I'm going to need it if I get to baking much more... lol.

Hope you enjoy this freebie, you can download it here.

Be sure to check out all the newsletters at Deco-Pages.com, there are freebies in every one!! :)

Well the kids had their cousins spend the night last night, and had a blast. They were awake til midnight or after though... lol. I know they will be tired tonight. It's fall break here, but we are still going to get some make up school in this week.

Today though, I made a little template, hopefully it works well for everyone. :) It includes a psd file and several png files for those without PS.

For those with Photoshop who may not know how easy it is to use templates -- it is oh so easy. Just drag your papers, or photos, directly over the template layer you want to apply them to, and press ctrl+alt+g and it will mask the top layer to the one under it. And apply the style affects applied to the template layer.

Sooo cool and easy!! :D

You can see my sample here using this template (kit not included with this template). I used my November Color Challenge Kit I had been working on yesterday.

I hope you enjoy and will share your layouts you create over at the Deco-Pages.com gallery. :) Please leave a little comment when you download, it's always very much appreciated.

Check back soon, as this template thing is addictive and I may have a few more if I find time to create them.

November is my birthday month, and I just love this time of year for so many reasons - the weather, the holidays, the family time... I have the honor of doing the Color Challenge kit for Deco-Pages.com next month, and I wanted to make sure it was something extra special!

I got it all finished last night and I'm just love love loving it! The starter kit will be available in the store November 1st for just $1.99, and then you can earn the two add-ons by submitting layouts during November as well ( purchase not required to participate, but appreciated ;) ). Or if you somehow miss getting your layouts in, the whole kit will go on sale together in December ... price still to be determined. ;)

I just wanted to show it off somewhere, so hope you all enjoy the sneak peek! :D

Isn't it just fabulous!! I am so loving being able to design again now that my hands are more healed from the surgery... This kit is a whopping mega too, it's around 280MB if I remember correctly. Lots of fun goodies, I really love the sewn ribbons in the reward 1 add on.

It's worth winning, so I hope to see lots of submissions to the challenge.

And a little toot for my own horn... I've even been exercising more, go me. 5 miles on the stat. bike today and 8 miles yesterday... gotta start somewhere right?? Hubby is on the wagon with me, we both need to get much healthier... so we plan to give each other a kick in the pants as needed.... lol.

Someone on my moms list sent this through. I just thought it was my civic duty to pass it onto any of you other moms out there. Hopefully it gives you a little smile for the day. :)

And that can only mean one thing...

The new Club Deco Kit has been released to our Club Members!!

This month was quite a challenge for me, as Art Nouveau is not my usual style. But this months kits turned out to be one of my favorites so far, for my part and from all the designers at Deco-Pages.com.

This collage is some of my kit for the club this month.

:) Isn't it just beautiful, lol... And you can also check out the other designers contribution in the gallery at Deco-Pages.com. If you aren't a member yet, you are truly missing out. The kits each month are more than MEGA and are a steal at the price per year... just $36, gets you 12 months of Club Deco Kits, and that doesn't even include the other freebies the designers give out to members, or the Color Challenge Starter Kit each month.

Check it out here -- http://deco-pages.com/home.php?cat=254

Well the kids are in bed, and I thought... HEY, I'm on a roll with the blog, so why not go ahead and post these tonight.

Well I just got a header graphic finished for the blog... Yea! I like the way it turned out, and had fun using my new flower action.

Today was a busy day, we rearranged the school room, added a new shelf. It looks really great, and is much more organized. I didn't have any PT today for my hands, which I am glad about, they are still sore from yesterday. They are finally getting stronger though since the CT surgery, so I'm happy with that. I was actually able to open a soda all by myself this week, lol. Small steps, big joys...

I hope to have a freebie (some flowers with my new commercial action available at Deco-Pages) posted tomorrow, so if anyone has been dropping in... (lol, I can dream right???) then there will be something to finally snag.

Weekends seem to be when I have the most free time, so I hope to get into the habit of posting freebies on Saturdays.

Well enough playing around for the night, off to get kids read to and in bed for the night.

Scrap On!!
