New kit, paper pack and a SALE!!!!

May 30, 2007

I have a new kit, called Sunday Picnic; a new paper pack, called Shades of the Sea; and A SALE!!!! 

First things first-Sunday Picnic is full of gorgeous shades of barn red and grass green.  It is called Sunday Picnic because I remember my grandmother packing a picnic basket with snacks and a table cloth, and sitting under the tree in her backyard, just the two of us.  Those were great picnics!  When I look at these prints that is what I think of.  I don’t really remember if the tablecloth was red or not!  Here is a preview:

The new paper pack is full of awesome shades of blue, green, and purple and is called, Shades of the Sea.  All of these colors are in the waters of the sea at different times of day.

Now, if you visit my store , everything is 30% off from now until June 10th.  This is my little way of celebrating the beginning of summer!  Come on by and check out my products….

Sneak Peek!

May 25, 2007

Hey everyone!  I have been working on a new kit and I thought you might like to get a sneak peek. Here are a couple of papers:

The kit does not have a formal name, yet, but a few I am kicking around.  I hope to have this new kit up in the store this weekend. 

Also, if you haven’t been to the GDS site, you may want to visit and view this . It is the place where you can order 12X12 prints of your layouts!  You can even get double-sided, so that your albums are not as bulky.  The quality is awesome and the service is great.  You can upload your images right there and the printing service does the rest.  When you order please enter my screen name, amyleigh1204, as your referrer!  I know you won’t be disappointed!

I designed something girly!!

May 24, 2007

Haha!!  I did it….I designed a girly kit!  It  is called Groovy Girl, take a look:

Groovy Girl Kit

There are nail polish smears, earring, and lots of pink, as you can see!  It was tons of fun to do.  I recalled passing notes in class and signing them LYLAS (Love You Like a Sister) and BFF.  Ah, those were the days….Would I want to go back?  Never!!  I was quite the little wallflower, scared of my shadow.  I wouldn’t want to be that way again. 

Just everyday stuff….

May 22, 2007

Whew!  Have I been busy!  Designing, scrapping, working, kids, house, you know….just everyday stuff.  Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to enjoy life. We should take pleasure in housework, caring for the family, cooking, because that IS what life is.  It is wonderful stuff…how long do we get to tuck our little ones in, cook a meal for the whole family and share it together, read books with the kids, watch the birds feeding their babies in the backyard? I love doing all of this stuff, but sometimes we just forget to really take it in and savor it.  We get so busy thinking about what we need to do next.

I think that is why I love to scrap just normal everyday moments. Preserving our everyday lives, not just the vacations, school events, baptisms, and sports. It will be so meaningful to remember those birds in the backyard, Matt (my oldest) planting those flowers, Caleb (the baby) playing in the rain, Christian (middle son) jumping as high as he could.  Those are the things that make life so sweet. Those are the moments that fade the quickest because they are not planned, or even intentionally caught on film. So when they are photographed, they are even more important.  Those are the moments that will bring tears to our eyes when we remember them in the future. Just being…….
