Made a decision to stop selling digital designs

I thought long and hard about this over the weekend and have decided to stop selling digital scrapbook designs in stores. The owners of the 3 stores I was selling at were awesome and are wonderful people so it had nothing to do with the stores themselves. Designing is very time consuming and with a very active 1-year-old and another on the way and a house to attempt to take care of, I just cannot devote the time necessary to make selling products successful. However I do enjoy designing and I will continue to offer freebies on my blog. This way I can do it at my own pace. Also, with designing, I had very little time to actually scrap. I had to drop many of my CT's and anything to do with Photoshop seemed like a chore. But now I've got my scrapping mojo back and am ready to create some lo's. Also I was asked to join the CT at Scrap It Sassy (where I used to sell) so I'm really excited to work with some of the products of the awesome designers over there.

Speaking of scrapping I completed a lo for Eclectic Scrap Style Designs kit called Whimsy Love. This is from me and my hubby's wedding day. I think most of us have this obligatory ring photo!

Now for some freebies! Because I decided to stop selling I have a few products that I was working on that are not going to make it into the shops. I really wanted to do a running kit. Well, the furthest I got was making these medals. I think they turned out pretty cool though!


Those are available here.

The next was a kit I started where I was motivated by my trip to the Jersey Shore. It never got completed, but this contains 15 papers and 4 ribbons.


This has four downloads:
Elements
Papers 1
Papers 2
Papers 3

Thanks for stopping by!

More new lo's

I have been having a blast cranking out lo's. I am trying to work on some designing stuff too. The only way I'm going to get better at designing is to practice, practice, practice, right? I'm working on a spring kit (even though its pretty much summer now) and also a retro 80's kit because I just loved the 80's and miss them so!

One of the designers I create for, Eclectic Scrap Style Designs, is a guest designer for June at The Digichick. You can check out her Digichick Store here. While I was over there I checked out their challenges. They have daily challenges there. You can see their challenges in their forums. So here are a couple lo's for 2 of their challenges.

This one is for their Sunday Ad Inspiration Challenge. I used Jack by the Benevolent Boutique Designers and a word art freebie from by God's design that coordinates with the Jack kit. It is available on her blog. The font I used is Tempus Sans ITC.

This lo is for their Monday Color Challenge. I used Abilities by Lisa Minor and My First Font by Jill D-Zines. The other font I used was Kristen ITC .

We are to Gymboree and some grocery shopping a later. Exciting, I know!!! Thanks for stopping by!!

New lo's!

We are enjoying a quiet weekend at home after the craziness of last weekend's festivities. I loved throwing Benjamin a birthday party, but am kind of glad its over and it was a success. We went to a friend's 1st birthday party yesterday and it was a lot of fun. We are going to try to get some stuff done around the house today and of course relax a little. I am working on some new freebies so I'm hoping to get them done soon and put up here on the blog.

I finished another lo for Eclectic Scrap Style Designs. Stop the presses! I extracted!! But if you look a little further in this post you'll see some actual non-extraction lo's from me!

I used her Grunge and Graph Paper Pack , Stamp Frames I , and Cherry Bits .

I also have a couple lo's using Tim by Claudi Designs .


One more thing! Don't forget that Brittney Ferguson and Xandra Martin are in the middle of their Scrap-a-Ganza giveaway. The 1st 5 links are up at Brittney's CT Blog . Next week the links will be there as well. Then the last 2 weeks will be at Xandra's Blog. Here is a preview of Brittney's portion of the kit. Its super fun!

Have a lovely rest of your weekend!!
