A great freebie for you!

Angel, the editor of SNA has taken the leap and started her own blog! WTG Angel! For her grand opening, she has a great freebie to give away called "Just A Phase".

I used a template by Chrissy W.

More Mon Amie elements

Late again! Will I ever be on time again? LOL! Here are your second set of elements for Mon Amie - remember to check Stacey's blog for hers too. See you tomorrow....

Mon Amie elements

I am soooo busy right now with an exciting new project and I feel like I am swimming against the tide! LOL! Things should ease soon, so I can be more chatty! Just so you all know, Pompey and Lily are well and happy - I know many of you follow my stories about them ;0).

Before I give you elements, take a look at these LOs from my CT - some of them did two because they liked using the kit - thanks girls!



And here is a LO from me - this is from my sister's wedding. Notice me and hubby on the left and my brother on the right with his girlfriend (at the time)!

And here are your first set of elements for Mon Amie - be sure to also check out Stacey's blog for hers.

Mon Amie collaboration kit

I am a bit late today, but here I am! This week I have a collaboration with my wonderful friend Stacey. We have only met online and less than a year ago and I can say that even so, I consider her one of my closest friends. I can only imagine the fun we'd have if we actually met in person! I decided on a softer colour scheme for this one and we decided that it needed a French name (yes, Sylvia - this one is for you! LOL!) - hence Mon Amie! I do hope you all like it. As always, my CT have done some beautiful LOs - check these out!





Here are the full previews to both mine and Stacey's parts - click Stacey's to go to her blog to collect the papers and click my paper preview to download mine. See you tomorrow with the elements.

Sneak peek of tomorrow's kit

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I am so busy right now, I haven't had much time for blogging, but I am around and I am designing!! LOL! I have a confession to make - I have given up on P365... With so much going on, I kept forgetting to do it and I think that defeats the purpose of taking a photo every day! LOL! I know, it's terrible - I lasted less than two months - shame on me!

So, I know you're all dying to know what's happening tomorrow! Well, I have done a collab with someone you will probably know well and who I know well! We have just never done a collab before now which is funny! OK, I won't keep you guessing - it's Stacey! Here's a sneak peek of the kit - check back tomorrow to start collecting! See you then xx

Spirit of Summer Charity Collaboration

Spirit of Summer is a charity collab benefiting the Victorian bushfire Appeal. Not only has this affected Australians, but human beings the world over. 34 Australian and international designers have banded together to help support many Australians, animals and communities decimated by one of Australia's worst national disasters.

What happened? On Saturday, Feb 7, the temperature in Melbourne was 33'c by 9am. By noon it was 40'c and by 2.50pm soared to 47.9'c (a state record). Thousands of people were also about to start running from the inferno that would become one of Australia's worst peacetime disasters. Trees ignited in the blink of an eye. By the time people heard the roar, it was too late to flee ahead of the flames. Unfortunatly no one, or thing, could have stopped this inferno that wiped out communities, bushland, and lives within minutes. Many towns now cease to exist! After watching interviews with survivors, many say that they can't put into words what they went through, saw or felt on that day. Here are just a few pictures (courtesy of google, the age, sbs & abc Aust.) of this horrible disaster:


Why is this charity kit different? No money will change hands at Scrap N Tag (our host website). We are asking for your support by donating DIRECTLY to one of the following charities:

Donations can be made here: The salvation Army or here: Australian Red Cross

What do I get for my donation and where? You will be helping the people of Victoria, Australia most importantly, but you will also receive this amazing MEGA kit (see below).

(**Vouchers will be emailed upon receipt of proof of Donation**)

But that's not all! For showing us how much you all really care, you not only get the MEGA kit but receive a Quickpage Album if you donate over $10.00...WOW how awsome is that!

I want to personally thank those involved in the creation of this MEGA kit? Dont we all! 34 ladies have done an amazing job planning, creating, collating and advertising for this Charity appeal!

Personally, I would like to thank Vicki and Shaz for organising this wonderful collab and to Carolyn for hosting this at her website, collating and doing the previews. You have done an amazing job ladies. Also to my fellow designers, without your generosity this Charity Kit would never have happened...well done!

Here is my part of the collab - there are many, many other parts to see around scrapland - just take a look at the other links!

Boho Chic add-on

I know I have been a brief blogger recently - not much time to be chatty! I've been really busy with work (I work full time), designing and other things, so not much time for anything else. I have been awful with my P365. I've taken photos most days, but have to admit I have missed two or three days - ooops!

Anyway, today I wanted to give you an add-on for my Boho Chic kit, which you can still pick up for $2.50 in my store. The add-on has a torn paper and 4 elements. I also want to thank those of you that have bought the kit - I really appreciate your support. The full kit looks like this and if you click the preview for the add-on, you can download it. Have fun with it!

Kits retiring

Just a final reminder that my old freebie kits are retiring. You have until the end of tomorrow (Friday) to snag what you want.

More sweet flora....

The main sweet flora kit may be done, but if you look around, there are lots of QPs to be found and Nicole has some extra papers for you on her blog. Two of my CT, Cheryl and Vicki have awesome QPs and several of Nicole's do too! Check out all the blogs and don't forget to leave some love.

Sweet Flora alpha

So here it is - the final part of the Sweet Flora kit - although I do believe if you look around there will be some QPs ;0). It was great working with Nicole and I am sure you'll all be pleased to know that we will be doing it again in the future! Click my image (sorry, I forgot to do a preview) to download and Nicole's to whisk you to her blog. TTFN.

Boho Chic

OK, I am shamelessly advertising my latest store kit! You know you want it - LOL! Please consider buying it if you like it and have the funds ;). Back later with the Sweet Flora alpha! TTFN.

A new freebie from Stacey

Stacey has a new freebie kit this week called Purple Passion - she asked me to send over a swatch for her to make a kit, so I did and this is what she made. It's gorgeous, as always! My LO looks like this and her preview is below - click it to go to her blog to download! See you later!

More sweet flora

Today, Nicole and I have the elements for you for Sweet Flora, but first I wanted to show you Kim's LO - it is really cute and shows off the kit very well, don't you think? Thank you Kim ;)

Here is the preview to Nicole's elements - click it and you'll be taken to her blog to download, below that is my preview which is clickable direct to download. Have fun with this part and be sure to check back tomorrow for the alphas!

Jenny's first digi page

Well, she's done it! Jenny did her first digi page and it's great! In the photo are Jenny (on the right) and Tina (on the left) looking fabulous! Can't wait to see some more Jen!

Boho Chic

Don't forget to check out the lastest kit I have in store - it's on sale for $2.50 right now. Here is another of my CT layouts. This one is from Kim - she's been super busy recently, so was a bit late with this one, but it gives me a chance to show off my kit again and she's done a beautiful LO!! LOL! See you later with Sweet Flora elements.

Sweet Flora freebie collab kit

A while ago, Nicole from Digi-Designs by Nicole, left a message asking if I'd like to do a collab with her. I LOVE doing collabs, so of course, I said YES! Nicole gives away some great freebie kits on her blog - you should definitely check them out each week! So, I let Nicole choose the colour and name (I like when someone else does that - it makes things easier for me) LOL! She chose a great bright summery colour swatch and the name Sweet Flora. I really think you're going to like this one. Here are the previews to the entire kits - firstly mine and then Nicole's:


And this is what my CT came up with - WOW again! I love my CT - they are sooooo great! The first one has been done by Vicki who's Mom has recently undergone surgery - you'll be glad to hear that she is on the mend now. Doesn't her Mom look like an amazingly special person?






So, today, you can pick up the papers - click the links below the first preview to download my papers and the second to whisk you away to Nicole's blog to pick up hers. See you tomorrow with the elements.
