Changes....

Change is really difficult. We get used to a routine and do not want to change. We are sometimes afraid of it. I know I am. I like knowing what to expect. But there sometimes opportunities come up...and you never know what it could be, might be, would be like if you do not try it out.

That is the situation that has come up recently. I just realized that I posted something about that today in a different post but had not mentioned anything about it. I did send some snippets of news to my mailing list, but I should post it here.

It is with a heavy heart that I say good-bye to SBE, my digital home on the web. The owners, designers, and team members are nothing short of wonderful. It was a difficult decision but one that I am now looking forward to. I will be joining a new home soon, exclusively, so no more running to two different stores. I'm quite excited about it and hope that you will join in the grand opening.

My products at Digitals is not longer available. I have resigned there. The store is also quite wonderful and my stay was too short, but it was necessary to start the exclusive move. So Floral Grunge is currently not available anywhere. The quick pages from TheDailyScrapper are still available though. Plus it's fun reading.

With that said, my products at SBE will only be available through August 8th. After that, some may become available again after September 9th and some may be retired. Thank you for your support and for visiting my blog. I hope that you will join me at the new store.

Here is a clue as to where it will be. This header was created my the talented Kristi and the title work was done by Tammy. Thank you ladies so much for the pleasant surprise. :)

Hello Kristi!!

I am so proud to announce that Kristin has joined our little team. She is a very talented artist and awesome photographer. I'm so honored to have yet another amazing talent join the team. :D

Here are some layouts by Kristin.

This uses Tropical Oasis.



Check out her amazing gallery.

Congrats Helene and Tammy!

I want to congratulate Helene for getting published in Digital Artist Magazine. It's the first time one of my kits is mentioned. HOW COOL IS THAT! Well, I'm quite ecstatic about it and so proud. The eMagazine is jam packed with tons of gorgeous layouts. This magazine is also available at couple of other places, including ScrapArtist. Her layouts are so pretty so don't forget to check out pages 36-40!



Congrats girl!

Well Tammy Conlan and Helene Douchet are used to the Gallery Standouts now as they have been called out multiple times! They totally deserve the honor since they are really are rockin' layout artists.

Here are the most recent GSOs.





On a different note, I want to thank Amy for being an awesome guest for the past few months. Here are some layouts by Amy.





Don't forget the Tropical Quick Pages are still available at SBE. Here are some layouts from Leda and Tammy showing them off. :D









New Layouts!!

It's been awhile since I've added new layouts so here are some for your viewing pleasure! Work has been killer so I'm really behind in everything. :(

Remember that these kits will only be available until August 8th at SBE. After that time, some will be available AFTER September 9th or retired.

Here are a few using the Summer Breeze Page Set.

One more from Leda! So many layouts!

Love Quick Pages

I just love quick pages. I had to put together a 10 page album so I used quick pages from many sources. It took a few hours even with quick pages because you know how it is...you always want to add your own personal touch. I would like to share this one with you.

This album was made for my friend's bridal shower. Any excuse to put together a mini scrapbook! This is actually a hybrid project but I'm not done with the paper part of it yet so no photos of the completed project yet. :D

That's a preggy picture of me from last year. But just half way so I'm not HUGE in the photo yet, just a little huge. ;)

Feeling like Summer

It's really begining to feel like Summer. I LOVE Summertime!! I think I have been spending way too much time on the computer.

When I am not at work, I am working on my scrapping. I feel like my children are growing up so quickly and I am missing out. I am trying really hard to devote less time to this addiction of mine (digiscrapping) since I feel like I eat, drink, live it. But the reason I want to scrap is to capture these cherished memories, but I should be out living it instead. I am sure you have read this type of rant numerous times. I do feel like I am being a neglectful and bad mom. So after my new kit releases this week, I will not spend much time on the computer. Or at least really try not to!! :) And I hope that you also go out and just live the moment. It is so much easier said than done so you just have to do it, not think it you will, not *try* to, just do it! LOL. Wish me luck. Oh, I will be posting the new kit info on here soon enough then um, yeah, I'll be outside.

I just posted a ton of Quick Pages and new Layouts in the previous posts so please continue to scroll down and enjoy! My team has worked hard creating these layouts for you. I know I say it often but it is really not enough, I am blessed to have a wonderful and easy going set of girls.

More layouts for you! Made by Leda, Helene, Tammy, Lorraine, Megann, Vanilla, and Amy, not in any order, and for your viewing pleasure. More summery layouts. Remember to check back in a few days for the new kit preview!!
