retiring

Lorry — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 08:03:34 +0000

Due to a rough pregnancy, I am retiring from designing at this time. I hope to return when I’m feeling better, but I just can’t keep up with the commitments.

Collabs are $2.99, everything else is $1.99, and you can grab the whole lot for just $12. My store closes at the end of the month, so no lollygagging.

I hope to offer freebies and fun on my blog, so don’t forget about me completely! If you like free templates, especially, you’ll want to stick around. Woo hoo!

It’s my birthday, and the presents are for you!

Spend at least $2.50 in my store and save 32%! Even on CU!

I’ve been on this planet for 32 years now, and I want to spread the love. This sale lasts all week long!

Shine on, little blog train, shine on!

Welcome to Altered Sea! Many of you probably got here from Little Red Scraps, who is not only the stop before me on this blog train, but is also one of my favorite people in the world. I totally love her part too, so if you somehow missed it, back up and grab it! And then click my preview for my part!

There’s a big, big blog train rolling through here all March long! My birth is 7th March, and I looooove birthdays, so I’m super excited to be a part of the mega blog train this month, and I hope you’ll enjoy my contribution. I’ve got a couple other freebies on older posts, if you want to check them out. They’ll all be in the “Digital Scrapbooking Freebies” category.

Next up is Wetfish Designs!

For a list of ALL participants, check out The Blog Train Blog. Remember we’re all around the world (hej from Denmark!) and in different time zones, so if something’s not up yet, check back later. Everything should be up sometime on 1st March, but your 1st March might be over before someone else’s. Be patient; it’s worth it!

If you visit everyone, check out all the crazy amazing stuff you’ll end up with!

Lots going on at the Drive-In!

Thanks to all of you who helped make my grand opening a success! We had a lot of fun, didn’t we?

Guess what starts tomorrow??

Jane and I are so excited to share this kit with you! All you have to do is be a member of the forums at DSDI, and stop by every day for a new download. It lasts two weeks, so after just 14 downloads, you’ll have the whole kit and you won’t have paid a cent! It’s totally worth it!

If you aren’t registered at DSDI already, head over there now and get all set up! You won’t want to miss a single day!

Starting the 14th, you’ll also want to check this out!

You’ll be there downloading my kit anyway, so hey, might as well stick around for a bit of fun, eh? I’ll be hosting a challenge myself, and here’s what I made for your participation prize.

Like it? Want it for BETTER than free? It’s just the cost of having fun. Can’t beat that! I sure hope to see you there, and in all the other challenges too. You can really rack up some fab stuff over the next month!

Stay tuned also for yet ANOTHER freebie from me, only available to DSDI forum members. It should be up within the week!

Grand Opening!!!

Be sure to check out the new kit I made with Jane of Little Red Scraps, which has a free paper add-on included this week only! Plus if you buy it, you’ll get the grab bag AND save 25%!

Toot toot!

The Stuff to Scrap Blog Train has expired. Thank you for your interest!

A note to my RSS feed subscribers

I’m hosting a speed scrap next week!

Mark your calendar!

DSDI has SSs every week! Most of them are for points like the other challenges, but the first one every month is for a participation prize!

I realize it’s awfully early for you Aussies, but I don’t dare assume you can’t make it, so I went ahead and put your times on there too.

I hope you can join me a week from today so you can play for this:

If it is a good time for you, what about, um, TODAY? Dawn of Daybreak Scraps is hosting one today. It’s a bit later than mine, so add an hour to your time zone above and you’ll notice it’s coming up quick! If it’s already started, that’s ok! Come join us anyway!!!

Bring the sunshine!

I’m SO glad you guys are lovin’ my tickets! Yay!

It’s time for a new kit from the lovely ladies of Red Genius Enterprises! Personally, I think we need a bit more of this kind of thing. There was all kinds of “Christmas in July” junk in the winter, but where’s the summer stuff in January? The Southern hemisphere must feel so neglected! Plus, I don’t know about you, but I still have some pics from the warmer months that need scrapping. It’s like they were reading my thoughts…

If you love your cardstock (who doesn’t?) grab this quick, because for the first week, you get cardstock for free with the purchase of the kit! I had to use a piece of the cardstock in my layout. Mmmm, cardstock! I love how it turned out!

You can get up to three chances to win the kit FREE by checking out the RAKs at DSDI, DST, and DSA. Throw your name in the hat for all three!

So we were chatting at the Drive-In…

…and I learned that all those grandmothers out there that want word art with a name other than “grandma” or “grandmother” find themselves totally out of luck! Well, that just won’t do! And I thought, “hey, isn’t it about time for another freebie?!” Put two and two together and you get…

…your next freebie! My own mother goes by Mimi to her munchkins, and one of my Bean-Bean’s favorite things to do is see Mimi over Skype from 5000 miles away! So of course I had to include a “chat with” ticket, as well as hug and kiss tickets. What was life like before video chatting?! I don’t want to know! lol

If you’re a G-ma, Mimi, Nana, Nan, Mamaw, or Oma, or if you have any G-mas, Mimis, Nanas, Nans, Mamaws, or Omas in your family, I hope you’ll enjoy these! ~~Clicky the preview to grab your goodies!~~

By the way, I’m trying out this program that removes all the Mac resource files, so it’s supposed to make life easier for you PC users. Please let me know if it’s causing any problems.

This freebie has expired! Please visit my store for this product.

Daily Download at DSDI

Did you know that Digiscraps Drive-in has a daily download every month? What?! You didn’t?! You should head over and register for the forums so you don’t miss out on any more goodies! For one thing, Little Red Scraps and I made the kit that we’re offering next month, and I don’t want to give anything away, but I really think you’re going to love it! But who’s talking about next month?! January’s still here, and here’s this month’s offering!

I have to say, I’m impressed! These colors are so great and I just LOVE what Dawn and Jewel have done with them. Fab job, ladies!

If you’re impatient like me, and you just want the kit now, it’s at the special price of $2.99 during January, and then you also don’t have to worry about those days you’ve missed so far. (Overlook the funny typo in the sneak ‘peak’ LOL… the kit is worth it!) Or you can grab the remaining days’ worth in the forum, but you have sign up to get access! You want to sign up anyway, because we’re a great crowd to hang with.

Here’s what I did:

I’m still working on that cold, so maybe I’ll add journaling later. *sniffle*

Oh, and I might have used one of my own templates for that layout, too. I certainly wouldn’t mind if you took a little peeky at my store, which IS up and running now!!! You’ll find lots of yummy templates, plus a mini kit I made for DSA’s designer challenge.

DSA were nice enough to feature it in The Enabler for this month! Woohoo! And if you love those little squirrels, I’ve got some CU templates of them for you designers out there.

We’re planning a grand opening for February 1st, but if you buy before then, you won’t be sorry. Just sayin’.

Surprise! I’m a designer!
