New products at GDS!!

Well, the scrapbooking classes are underway at GDS!! It is a lot of fun and I have a great group of ladies to start out with.  This is my first try at writing tutorials so I am glad they are able to make sense of them! I do seminars all the time, so you would think I would be able to get my point across, right?

 I want to let you know about some new products in my store at GDS:

A Little Something Extra, Round felt elements to add some fun to your pages! Only $2.00

Two sets of colorful wooden frames for $4.00 each. OK for Commercial Use!

And, don’t forget about my Snag a Bag! It’s full of almost 100 MB of products that are OK for Commercial Use, as well!

The Supreme Team 3 contest is now over and we have 12 new members of the Store Creative Team!  Yay! One of the newest members is Kathy (KattyZak) and she created some awesome layouts!  All of the layouts were amazing and it was so hard to judge!  Congratulations to all the new Supremes!!!!

Freebies at GDS!!

Another post in September!!  I must be out of my mind!  Actually, I just wanted to tell you about the freebies at GDS.  Here is a look at my latest:

They are just some really fun saying from the amazing Erma Bombeck!  You can find them in the Designer Giveaway forum at GDS.  You must be registered to download them.

Also, I have some other new products:

Did you notice that it says you get a coupon in many of the products?  it should probably say “all”  because I am putting it in all of them right now!  There are, also, some new commercial use products coming out in the next day or so.

The Birthday Overlays will be available for only $2.00!

The Textured Overlays are great for adding a little something extra to your layouts or designs, and will be available for only $4.00!

I hope you stop by soon!  All the designers at GDS have really great products and we are adding new items everyday.  Andrea Gold is an amazing template designer, and Amy Fenner has some precious brag book templates.  Doreen Stolz and Verena Karolyi are really talented designers selling at GDS, as well as, Theresa Borntreger and Jessica Alger.  Theresa and Jessica have some really precious kits. 

CT Call–My First!!

Here we go!! I am putting out my very first CT call! You wanna be a Party Girl? Take a look at the announcement below:

If you can’t read the announcement, it says:

“If you are selected for the Party Girls, the requirements are: 1 layout with each kit designed, posted to 4 galleries (DST, GDS, GP, and one of your choice). Term is for 3 months. Any other packs can be integrated into your layouts and posted with credit, as well.

If interested, please email me at amyleigh1204@sbcglobal.net and include the following: a link to your most active gallery, your forum name, other designers you have CT’ed for, your layout style, and how long you have been digiscrapping.”

You can visit my store here to view my products that are currently for sale.

Never been on a CT? That’s OK!!  It is tons of fun and you get to know people in the digiscrapping community. My demands will not be tough, I have a family, too.  I work full time, so my days are filled with that, as well.  I don’t expect you to drop your life to be on a CT.  What fun would that be?

I can’t wait to see those apps coming in!  Hurry and email me the call will end on July 21st, and the announcement will be made by the 23rd. 

MIA!!

Not really!  I have not been blogging much because I have been having so much fun designing!  I hope that everyone is visiting GDS often!  There is a link here on my blog, or you can click here.  GDS is such an awesome place and it is really growing fast!!  We have over 3000 members already!  There is a new Daily Download every day, and there is a Community Member Giveaway area and a new Designer Giveaway area! Of course, to download any of the giveaways you must be a member, but it is really simple to join.  This site is already high on list at the ratings sights. 

My store is growing and I currently have a new kit that will be coming out soon.  Here is a preview:

 

You will be able to purchase the Elements and Paper Pack separately.  I think that this is a really fun kit.  It was so much fun to make!  I hope that it does well. There will be so many uses for it. 

I am on vacation this week!!  WOOHOO!!  We stayed in Texas this year.  We are in New Braunfels on the Guadalupe River.  We have had so much fun.  My DH and the older boys got to tube on the river, we went to Sea World, Schlitterbahn (the largest water park in the world, with the best rated slides in the country), and my personal favorite, Natural Bridge Caverns.  I remember going on vacation as a child and going on cave tours.  The boys thought it was awesome.  I have plenty of pics to scrap when we get home. 

I just thought I would post an update.  Hope the rest of your week is great!!  I will post an announcement when my new kit is up in the store!

Just everyday stuff….

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…….

Come Visit Me!

Hey everyone!  I know that you all must feel a bit neglected!  I have been really busy getting everything ready for my store opening at www.godigitalscrapbooking.com .  Come on over and visit as soon as you get a chance.   I only  have a couple of products up today, but there will be more tomorrow.  It is taking me a little bit to get the hand of the whole uploading thing.  (LOL)  And, of course, I will have some new freebies for you all very soon.  How about a QP? or an element pack? more papers?  Who knows what I will come up with.  Everyone has been so great here, and now I have new friends at GDS, too.  How wonderful is that?  There are great designers at GDS and the community there is very supportive.  Come on by and see what is happening! See you soon!

BTW…

Did you notice?……………………………..I changed my tag on my kit.  I think it is much more ME.  You know, fun, whimsical, silly, all that good stuff.  The other one was way too, oh I don’t know, stuffy, antiquey.  I didn’t like it at all.  I love pink and green together.  If I had a girl her room would be those colors. But, alas, that has not been my fate. (Said in a very Shakesperean voice.) Okay, I’m really getting goofy now.  That means turn off the ‘puter, go take more medicine and get ready for bed.  I think I shall retire early this evening. (Again, with the Shakesperean voice!)

Beautiful words

If you want to just escape and read beautiful words, you should visit the Chin’s blog: Girl, Always Caught in Midthought at www.nevergirl.wordpress.com .  She has a way with words that can make you see what she is seeing, laugh and cry all at the same time.  It is really lovely and I plan to visit often.

Spicy quiz

I have posted my results of the Spicy Quiz in my sidebar.  I have to say I disagree!!  I am very spicy!!  I got this from the Sweet Shoppe blog.  Here is a link if you would like to take the quiz:  http://ynr.blogthings.com/howspicyareyouquiz/

It was fun, anyway. 

Have a snappy day!
