School has started!

WHOOPEEEEEEE!

My kids are already doing very nicely being on a schedule again!  I'm so glad!!!  This summer was almost impossible to schedule anything do to constant "conflicts". 

Well, you know what that means....back to the JOY and FUN of designing!  So for September and October, I am trying something NEW......along with some regular kits added to the store, and some regular freebie kits as well,I'm going to be giving out (almost weekly!) mini kits.  I'm diving into my stash of designer resources, and branching out learning some new techniques as well. I would very much appreciate your feedback on these minis as well.  Since I am trying to find what my "fans" like and most importantly, what they USE as well.  Each kit will also have a freebie template download (in BOTH DIP and PSE format, I'll always be a DIPPER.....LOL!).  Each mini will be available for no more than 7 days, so you'll have to be pretty vigilant in snagging them.  The mini kit might be a few papers, a few papers and elements, a set of frames, a set of tags, an alpha,a quick card or quick page set, you just never know! I'm trying some "new" stuff in my designs, but I still very much want to keep them PRACTICAL and USEABLE!

 

Thank you to ALL who stuck around for the summer months, and thank you for the MANY that sent prayers, good thoughts, and encouraging emails as well.  It was VERY VERY appreciated!

 

I also have some LO shares as well!

This first one is using a kit by Lorie Davison-Fish Island, I had these photos of Xan, and didn't really have anything to do with them.  They were from Zoey's birthday party!

This is a 2 pager from my Son's move to Philly!

Paper is just faded into the photo again with some texture added, since this is a 2 pager. Frame is from Manu.

This framed photo I did is actually from my scraplift folder, so I am not sure who did it.....the papers are from Michelle Herron's "A Good Read" which was a Scrapdebris collab early in the summer, I just blended it with a photo.  Font is The King and Queen.

Kit is Kristin Aagards Oink Cluck Moo.

Taking a few days off!

I'm taking a few days off from Scrapdebris to spend them with the kids on these last few days of our Summer Break!  I'll be back on Monday! Didn't want anyone to worry! LOL

Cotton Candy Girl-Free for a limited time!

First, a personal note......Hey Howdy Ho!  I hope everyone's summer is going well!  It's been a crazy one here for me.  I've had rework on a root canal, that was about 8 visits to the dentist over a 3 week period!  The good news is, it's finished, and I feel so much better. We had to get a "newish" car....which was shopping every day and test driving every night for about 2 weeks.  I am the PTA VP at our school, and I'm tellin' you what....WOW.....it's a LOT of work.  We're playing "catchup" after the past years board was a little disorganized (I'm putting that very mildly here!). Ladies and Gents....please let me take this time to tell you...please volunteer at your child's school...even the little stuff is so very much appreciated.  If you don't like the way your PTA is run....step in...run for the board and change it!  It can be done....it's a lot of work, but the kids and families really appreciate it! Our oldest, as you have read has been relocated to Philly.  It's been wonderful for him, but getting him moved kept us so very busy.  My FIL has to have a heart valve replacement, so Mike had to make a trip up there to help him organize his affairs just in case the surgery goes south. So I have spent a few weeks this summer desperately missing my husband, and the kids have missed their dad.  I'm ready for school to start....not really for school's sake, but for some normalcy and scheduling that I have been unable to do this summer due to all the busyness!  The good news is, we've come out healthy and happy....but we have struggled!

Onto the kit stuff....I have several more in the works, and hope that my regulars will forgive me for not being vigilant with the blog.  Family will always come before designing, that's the way I "work", and this was a summer where I really needed to focus on them!

 

Here is Cotton Candy Girl!  A simple "PINK" kit for our girls! It's free for a limited time..... so pass the word and snag it while you can!
