When Pigs Fly

Now that I've started a new week, I'm hoping this one will go better! LOL! I need to get my sneak done for Dream Street, yes I'm a slacker on that. I did scrap a little today with a new kit that Cory Gammon is coming out with tomorrow, I'll post it in the morning :D But, the one question I would REALLY like to know.........what do you snack on when you scrap? I LOVE LOVE the Flat Earth chips!!
Especially the Peach Mango and the Wild Berry!

Worst Week Ever goes to.......Amy Teets!

Yeah, I knew I had to win something sometime! HA! Actually my week started off with my paypal account getting hacked. Paypal was super quick to start the process of getting my funds back, but today over 600.00 cleared from my bank account. We were hoping we stopped the charges in time but guess we didn't. I went and filled out all the proper paper work at my bank to get the fraud stuff rolling since it did actually clear. It was pending and they were able to delete that, but now that it's cleared it could take up to ten days to get that money back. I also had Geek squad connect and clean out my computer this morning as well. And I also ordered the paypal key guard, which should come tomorrow! So with all that being said. Here's my PSA today. Don't use McAffe as your virus detection program and I don't care if you change your passwords everyday, it won't work if you have a keylogger virus or certain spyware on your computer.
Let's hope for better days coming ahead!!!

Ahhhhhh VINK!

I've been desinging digitally for a little over 3 years now and traditionally for 3 and I'm still amazed when I see scrappers/designers use my products!! One of my favorite paper scrappers recently used my newest Dream Street collection Remember Moments and I'm floored!!

Back from Vacation!

Well, here's how it went. Tornadoes, storms, rain, wedding then home with no kiddos :( Nice huh! The boys are spending an extra week getting spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa, can't wait to get them home again! We have another wedding this weekend then we're off to pick up the boys in St. Joe! I have some time this week and I hope to work my butt off!!! I also wanted to share the free kit I did for Scrapwow Members. This kit was for Memorial Day but really it's versitle enough for everyday photos. This site is really on the up, especially after acquiring RAKscraps, if you're a scrapper or just starting to dabble, check out both sites!

My Artscow Review

Got all 106 photos today! Yeah, had to order an extra six, but who's counting! They advertise 400 free prints. How it works is you get 50 4x6 and 50 5x7 free prints everymonth for four months you pay the shipping which is under 10.00, because it ships from Hong Kong. I ordered my prints on the 13th and got them today, so really NOT that bad! The prints turned out great, glossy, but a little on the thin side I guess. I can tell the differance between my old camera and my new for sure! But I did get some printed that I had previously printed with WHCC and they turned out just as nice! If you want to check out the site you can HERE. They're also going to be doing 8x8 books soon as well!

Swoon, seriously!!!

It's amazing to see people use my designs, but then when I find things like these...ohhhhhh...what do I say!! Seriously amazing! I can't imagine the time that was spent on creating this!! Sarah this rocks!

Totally Bummed!

This week the LSS I designed for has decided to disban their Design Team :( Fortunatley there's some great clubs having calls right now! In the mean time here's a layout I did with SEI's new Dill Blossom Collection that I LOVED working with!!

A couple more

Some Pics

I can't remember if I shared these pics, but I'm looking forward to the weather staying nice so I can do more!

400 Free Prints and a Free 8x8 book

You get 50 4x6 and 50 5x7s this month, then the next and so on! What's better than free!!

Hybrid Bracket Album Class and MORE

ACOT hosted a Bracket Album Class for NSD! If you missed it, don't worry, they've posted instructions HERE!
So, if you've never tried doing anything hybrid this is a good way to get started.
I also just put up a Pier 49 Bracket Album in the ACOT store, PDF to follow soon! You can grab it at HALF price for 24 hours ONLY!

Tracy Joy Bags

Stumbled upon this website, after looking around for a Mother's Day gift for myself! And I'm SOLD! I "think" I'm going to go with the Joey bag, as soon as they're in stock again. I think what's sold me on these bags is for 10.00 you can get velcro added on, so you can change the flaps to other patterns! So yes initially, my bag will probably run around 80.00, but for 15.00 down the road, I can change the appearance for a totally new look! If anyone else has ordered a bag I'd love to know, or if you have any other sites for me to look at I would definitley like to look as well!
