Been playing around with my kits. Trying to give them a bit of a fresh look..and hopefully a little bit more appeal.
Like I said...just a bit pf play. :) If you'd like to see more of these kits, you can do that HERE.

holiday cheer!
Ok, it has seriously been way too long since I've blogged. Sorry about that! But I've been a busy busy bee lately. Hunched over my sewing machine, cranking out gifts for my chubby little princesses and ordering things from all corners of the world for Christmas gifts for loved ones. Making quite a few dents in Etsy.com....I simply adore that place! CRAZY busy. Decorating the house, baking cookies, finding new music, battling a seemingly endless cold, making Christmas cards for the kiddos at school and for teachers....waiting impatiently for my snowflake cookie cutter to arrive in the mail...really wanting that box to arrive! LOL! :)
The kiddos will be in a school play on Tuesday, so we're gearing up for that...I've heard the darn songs so much, I'm sure I'll be sing sing singin' along during the performance. My only consolation is that all the other mums and dads will be doing it, too. :) Lara is going to be a sheep and Mia is going to be a cat. Can't wait! Speaking of singing, Norah is slowly starting to get the words to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". It comes out roughly as "tinko tinko....... how why......up up UP!" :) Then, of course, lots of clapping and shouting and exclamations of "YAY!!" Here she is singing it for me...
Besides that, been busy on backstage digi....many, many things going on. First of all, the December Songbird Avenue kit is up and it is PHENOMENAL!! We had the honor of working with Michelle Coleman and the kit is just scrumptious! And we're already hard at work on January's kit...time sure is flying! :)
You can pick it up HERE. Remember, the kits are only available for one month! :) Come and help us support the Make a Wish foundation of Utah and maybe pick up a gift certificate for a buddy while you're there! :) Don't forget to keep up with all the events over at the Songbird blog. Michelle always has something fun for you! :) When you stop by the blog, you can see the receipt that Meredith posted from the Toys for Tots website. We managed to raise $1,814.05 last month! You guys are amazing! Thank you SO MUCH for your donations!!
Also, we were mentioned in Ali Edwards' latest newsletter....kinda mind-boggling and gloriously exciting at the same time. It's SO COOL to think that we inspired her the way she inspires us. When I think of "do-gooders" Ali is pretty darn high on the list...so to have her give us a shout-out is such an honor! Thank you, Ali!
A fab new collaboration kit is up at Oscraps! Check out Jolly-O! It's loads of fun!
I'm also working on some holiday stuff...hopefully I will have it ready in a couple of days. I know there are tons of yummy kits out there, but I think I'll throw my hat in the ring as well! That reminds me...I've have simply GOT to get started on my Christmas cards...I don't even have a photo yet! :( Last year's beautiful photo was pure luck...not so sure about what's going to happen this year. It's a nightmare trying to get all 3 girls to smile at the same time and have their eyes open and all be looking at me. I'd probably have better luck if I told them all to pick their noses.....hmmmm....methinks I have the new holiday card theme! ;)
Ciao, all and take care! See ya soon! :)

another sweater, perhaps?
I have had a cold for 3 weeks. IT SUCKS. I'm a sniveling, shivering mess of a woman today. Which is why I am huddled over my computer, scrapping. It makes perfect sense, huh? :) Anyway, here are some new layouts. Enjoy! :)
That's all I've got for today. Working on some new stuff and gearing up for something I'm really excited about. More to come on that when I have more info. I hope everyone is well! Ciao!

happy (late) digital scrapbooking day!
Hey all you fab fellow scrappers! Well, I dropped the ball yesterday. but we finally had our own little day to gush about and to celebrate our pixelated passion! Yay for the first ever digital scrapbooking day! (Even if I am a day late! HA!) To celebrate, I've got another paper pack for you! Happy scrapping! :)

busier than a one-armed paper hanger
Ok, so I take back my previous comment on how I want to have the internet injected directly into my brain. Remember that? Yesterday, when I said that? That was a bad idea. I'm already sick of the internet and PS...grrrr...Photoshop.
I have made considerable progress, though! I know everyone gets all super-jazzed every month when we debut the new Songbird Avenue kit...but it is non-stop behind the scenes work for us, our CT and our guest designers. Our CT is always out there helping us get more exposure and our guest designers are always knocking our socks off with amazing designs! November's kit is already finished and I have to tell ya...it's gonna be hard keeping this one a secret. We've got a bit of a twist for November and, since I just finished the preview, I know you are gonna LOVE it. But, before we start yappin' about November, we need to get through October! Make sure you grab our kit with Nancie Rowe-Janitz. We're benefiting the St. Jude children's Research Hospital.
Man, time is flying, isn't it? Can you believe Halloween is just a week and a half away?!?!?! I've got my girls' costumes almost done..but time is definitely slipping away from me! We haven't carved pumpkins, bought candy, or even figured out what we're going to do! LOL Definitely need to get the ball rolling!
And speaking of fabulously spooky fun, I've got a treat for you all. It's an oldie, but I gave it a little jolt and a ghoulish makeover. You could even say I brought it back from the dead. ;)
I hope everyone likes it! :) Even if you bought it from me way back when, you can still download this one and get the extra goodies!
I'm working on some fun little additions...hopefully I can have them done in time. I've gotta dash. Ciao, all! :)

aw, shucks
Wow, you guys are way too sweet! Thank you so much for all the amazingly nice comments. :) You made my day! I hope everyone is enjoying the paper...and please let me know if you scrap with them! I'd love to see your layouts!
Here are a few new pages I did...I should have posted them MUCH sooner, but I completely forgot! I'm so scatterbrained! The first 3 were for my wonderful guest artist spot for Shabby Miss Jenn in August. She is so awesome and I really love working with her designs! Check out Back 2 School and French Attic!
This one is for Meredith Fenwick's CT. She took a break in August, so the whole team has been itchin' to have some new stuff! LOL! We were totally blown out of the water by her "Happily Ever After" kit. It is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. You can get it HERE.
I'm busy busy making papers and getting things done for Songbird Avenue. We've got so many plans in the works...it's a bit overwhelming, but it will be AWESOME when it's done! I just have to find time to do it all! We're still packing up...almost the whole house is in boxes. It makes it easier for us, though. The girls have a couple of boxes of toys they can get to, but other than that...we're just too tired to pick up after them! :0) The essentials are out, though...Playmobil, Polly Pocket, and Barbie movies. So we don't hear too many complaints. :0) We're hoping to have the whole house ready to go so as soon as we get the green light, we can be out of here in less than 2 days.
And I cannot begin to describe how excited I am about England. I LOVED London...amazingly fun and friendly city. So, to get to live there is beyond anything I can imagine. The shopkeepers on Portobello Road will know me by name in a month. I'll see to that. ;0)

no, you're not hallucinating!
Ok, kiddos. It's happened. I don't even know how long it's been since I've uploaded a kit for you guys. Well, today that is ALL changing! I've got a ton more behind the scenes and I am hoping to have new paper packs for you regularly! Now head on over to Oscraps and introduce yourself to Dimitri! He's really nice! :0)
