This is my DD yesterday at the park - I just love how intense she looks -- she was watching all the kids playing.

CT spots?

OK, over the last couple of weeks, two of my CT members resigned :( Both rectangles too -- boo hoo. Anyways, I do have a fantabulous CT, but am wondering if I should fill the gap. I don't feel like putting out a mass CT call -- don't really have the time to go through all the apps, and I ALWAYS fall in love with so many people and then my CT is HUGE. Anyways, curious as to whether any readers are interested -- I run a VERY laid back CT -- basically, ask for 2 LOs a month of your choice of kits. Sometimes, i think I am too distant with my CT, but I really do enjoy them -- just don't have a whole lot of time tell them like I should. Anyways, if you might be interested, let me know - gincarson@yahoo.com (send a link to a gallery so I can oooh and awwww over your LOs)

New spotlight - HollyDolly - Ethan Baby Book


I spotted this LO on SBB and I just fell in love. I love the layering of everything -- looks so perfect - yet not perfect -- I have a hard time making my layering look 'real' -- not too perfect -- know what I mean? I love how it looks like a photo album sitting there -- so kewl. The kit selected is GORGEOUS - the journaling -- GREAT .. love everything about this LO!

OOOH I made something


I made a little kit following a tut on a site I subscribed to (http://digiscrapdesigner.com/) -- I just uploaded it. I am pretty happy with it -- I have a unique name and could never find any patches or anything with my name, and I have a hard time finding anything for Cassidy too. So, now I won't have to worry -- depending on how people like the set, I may make some other colors :) I put a template in it so you could use any paper you want.

(Thanks, I had a typo in the link -- this is a great spot for tuts -- worth the investment for sure)

Links to the patches in the store:
Black
White
Pink

Anyone have any ideas?

I am in a rut -- can't think of what I want to do for my next kit. Usually something sparks by now -- hmmm -- maybe I should use this slump to get some actual scrapping done!

Woohoo - Blush hit the store @ 3scraps! You can get the kit for $5 :) Just click here

R U TOO SQUARE VOTE

Hey guys -- can everyone make sure to go and vote for the winner for Scrapper's choice in the R U TOO SQUARE challenge :)

http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8963#post8963

On a personal note -- what a weekend! Yuck! We were still all sick -- BUT we carried on with the party plans for the family as Friday everyone including Cassidy felt better (boy were we wrong). So, Saturday we had the bday party for my MIL (same bday as Cassidy) -- Cassidy was sick -- all she wanted to do was be alone and sleep and all the new faces made her into my No-No-No baby (sad shaking of her head and moans of no no no). Today, we had her bday party -- here is how the day went -- she woke up AT 10! I had to run to walmart so I brought her -- she fell asleep on the way over (takes 10 mins to get there) -- got her into the cart -- she felt asleep in the cart -- and fell asleep on the way back! Got her home -- while we were waiting for people to arrive -- she fell asleep. She woke up and played for a little bit when her cousins came -- then took another nap before opening gifts (while people were eating). As soon as everyone left -- she went back to sleep. Yikes -- the poor little thing. I am gonna keep her home and day the day off on Tuesday (the real bday) and hopefully make it a little more special for her.

So, I was kinda down -- wanted it to be fun for her and everyone -- least it was just family. But, I logged in and got a few messages that my new kit at Do it Digi (Prince and Princess Pawz) made it into Melissa's Digi Pick of the Day! So, I was thrilled of course.

Well, I am packaging up my newest kit -- going to give it as the Daily Download for the month of April at SOTB. Soon as I get my previews done, I will give you guys the sneak peak :)
