Woo Hoo!

I opened up the newest issue of Somerset Digital Studio and was so surprised to find myself spotlighted!!! Somerset magazines are the most inspirational magazines for artists out on the market. Every issue is just pure eye candy. I read them over and over again. If you haven't picked up a copy lately, please do! They just keep getting better and better.

I also want to give a shout out to my creative goddesses...Wendy, Laura and Evelyn...who were also published in this issue. Congrats ladies!!!

New and On Sale - THE THING FINDER

http://www.oscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=24079 

Inspired by my friend, Patty Ann, I am happy to present to you my latest kit. My Fellow Thing Finder sent me this Pippi Longstocking quote and I immediately felt a deep connection to it.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Tommy.

"I don't know what you are going to do," said Pippi, "but I know I can't lie around and be lazy. I am a Thing-finder, and when you're a Thing-finder you don't have a minute to spare."

"What did you say you are?" asked Annika.

"A Thing-finder."

"What's that?" asked Tommy.

"Someone who hunts for things, naturally. What else could it be?" said Pippi.

"The whole world is full of things and somebody has to look for them. And that's just what a Thing-finder does," she finished.

"What kind of things?" asked Annika.

"Oh, all kinds," said Pippi. "Lumps of gold, ostrich feathers, dead rats, candy snapcrackers, and tiny little screws, and things like that." 

I am a Thing Finder. My parents are Thing Finders. My son is a Thing Finder. I can't help myself but collect the things that capture my interest. I love the hunt as much as the score. Now, I am so happy that I can share my things and help you fill your treasure box (i.e. hard drive.) The Thing Finder is on sale until Feb 25 only.

My CT has at it again. Check out their creativity. They blow me away!

 

  

  

 

Thought For The Day

I think it is a sad state of affairs when others feel the need to judge another person's choice of expression. The bigotry that goes on in this community astounds me. It is everyone's personal choice how they want to use a scrap kit to express themselves....family pages, feelings, emotions, art therapy or even just to entertain themselves creating and having a bit of fun. It's their choice and their opinion. I can appreciate the feelings and creativity that go into a simple paper-like page as much as I can appreciate the artistry that goes into a complex fantasy page.


The world would be a very boring place if everyone wore the exact same clothes, drove the same cars and ate the same food. My wish is for everyone to celebrate their own creative spirit and encourage everyone else to celebrate theirs. Be your own person. Dare to be different!! It's not as scary as you think. Love to you all!

New & On Sale - SPRING FAERIES

Well, after my last kit which was a little heavy, I am happy to present to you a bit of fun. Spring Faeries is an enchanted kit filled with all kinds of magical bits and pieces. I created this kit with the idea of playing with scale. The forest elements and animals should be large, while your little faeries should be small. They are the special little treasures in your layouts. I really had fun making my son into a little Faerie King...he thought it was pretty neat too. Spring Faeries is on sale until Feb 11.

And here is some amazing inspiration for you from my CT goddess!!

New & On Sale - LOVE & WAR

I present to you my newest kit, Love and War. I actually created this kit for myself. I was finally ready to scrap my divorce and didn't have anything in my stash to do so. I wanted, no needed, to do this for myself. I had to get my feelings out so I could close the door on that chapter of my life for good. I wish life was only kittens and rainbows, but it's not. My divorce caused me huge pain and I have really had to work through my issues. I am so grateful that I met Nick and that we have a wonderful life together now. I felt a huge release creating these pages. I am not a wordsmith but I can express myself visually and feel great satisfaction in the images I created. My wish is that others can use this kit to help explore some of these hard moments life throws at us.

I am truly grateful to my CT for the raw, emotion packed layouts they created with this kit.

New & On Sale - SWEET SHOPPE

I am back and I hope that 2010 has been good to you so far. I am so happy to finally have another kit in the shop. The holidays always seem to send my mojo on vacation. But that's ok, I spent alot of time relaxing and playing with my family. Another thing about the holidays is they are filled with so many temptations!! Cookies, candies, cake...oh my! This kit is all about the sweet things in life but the best news....they are all fat-free, sugar-free and zero calories. The Sweet Shoppe is jam packed with loads of goodies to scrap fantasy as well as more traditional pages. Sweet Shoppe is on sale until Wednesday, Jan 13.

Here is some inspiration from my amazing CT to show you some of the possibilities this kit has.
