It's February!

So, it's been just a tiny little while since I've posted. Har har. Things have been crazy for me! I am still trying to run my doll business and keep up with digital designing. I have four young children, am involved in my church activities, and run two local clubs - a book club and a scrapbook club. Wow! No wonder I have been getting migraines. LOL.

I have some great news! I have been accepted as a designer at the terrific digi store Been There Scrapped That! It seems like a great group of designers and scrappers. I look forward to making myself at home there. LOL. I haven't uploaded any kits yet, but will be doing that this week.

The other great news is that I have several new CT members. And they are terrific ladies! I couldn't ask for a more kind and talented group of friends. Here's the complete list: Tada!

fran98765 (Fran)

lin_fes (Frannie)

fallgal1027 (Alicia)

my3countryboys (Shannon) - my new CT leader!

magicalreality (Katherine)

ina (Christina) - on a personal leave, but I hope she'll come back to me!

I will be posting their layouts here, so you will all get to know them. :) I was sad to lose a couple of really talented scrappers this past month, too. I will miss you Michelle and Mel! You're welcome to come back any time! On a more happy note, Katherine (magicalreality) recently started designing her own kits. She is seriously talented and unique and I'm sure she will have much success in this industry. Good luck, Katherine!

I will be adding one more CT member soon, so if you're interested, please let me know. I would also like to add a couple of guest CTs for February and March. You can email me if you want more info.

So, I have been super busy designing freebies and bonus kits lately. I made a crop freebie for the Super Bowl crop on Sunday. It's called Game Day Fever. Click on the pic above for a link so that if you missed it you can still get it. But you have to come to the next SOTB crop! LOL. I also made a bonus for the evening crop on Sunday. It coordinates with the other bonuses that will be given out for the challenges this month at SOTB. If you want that link you'll have to check back later. And you can always participate in my new challenge at SOTB to get more freebies. Here's a peek at the bonus for my challenge:

And this is the bonus I made for Dani's challenge:

And this is the crop freebie I gave out on Sunday. It's really too bad if you weren't there. :) Maybe I will feel like being generous soon and take mercy on you. But I wanna see some participation in those challenges!

I will be doing a scraplift challenge at BTST soon, too! I'll post more info as I learn more. Well, I guess the last thing is to show you the latest kits I have for sale. I released three in one week! That's a record for me. Of course, I had been working on them all for months. They are all 25% off right now, too! LOL. Here's a peek:

The first one is called Road Trip. I was inspired by some art I found for decorating little boys' bedrooms. This is perfect for travel pages, boy pages, in the car pages, etc. Look below for some fab CT layouts with this kit.

This is the second kit I just released called Grandma's Attic. It has all sorts of photo-realistic elements. Perfect for heritage kits and more! Scroll down for a CT layout:

My third kit release is just in time for Valentine's Day. Although it features some lovey dovey stuff, the elements are versatile for a variety of subjects. It's called Hearts All Aflutter. Check it out!

Layout by Garden Girl Designs (me). This is my darling daughter when she was only four. She just turned 10. Oh my, how the time flies! I just sounded like my grandma. Urgh!

Thanks for checking in with me. Hopefully you are having a great 2009. I hope everyone has a lovely Valentine's Day. Happy scrapping!
