Some Goodies For You!


Well I'm back! I'm still trying to shake the funk. We shall see how today goes. I have an interview for a REAL job today. I'm by no means trying to say that designing is not a REAL job. I just feel I'll never been good enough to call it that. There are some AMAZING designers out there. To even call myself a designer kinda makes me feel silly. Any hoot. Its for a receptionist job. Sounds pretty laid back. It's about 2 minutes from the house. So that's a HUGE plus. I can come home for lunch and start dinner if I need to. So it may not be totally bad. I talked to my mom yesterday and she told me to get my old attitude back and get the job. I'm going to try like I don't know what. I used to be so confidant in everything that I did. Now I find myself second guessing EVERYTHING I do. ACK!

Well here is another FREEBIE. Its a little collection of Glitter Treat Elements. I really adore this kit. It was so much fun to make. Halloween is my favorite holiday. Not the spooky part the fun cutesy part.
Well wish me luck. Hopefully the next time I post I'll have a job! Just click on the preview to download the goodies.

A New Release, A Couple Layouts, A Funk and a FREEBIE

Hello fellow............um....fellows! How the heck are yah? Here is what I have for you today. Silly Sara Ellis has made some AWESOME KICK BUTT CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THEM Toppings. Can you tell that I liked them? She has 4 sets available and at just $3 each set you would be just silly not to snatch these up. Oh did I mention that they were okay for commercial use too??? Wooooo. You can find them at OAKS and at DigiScrapBoutique.
I finally got around to scrapping a little Friday Night. I couldn't sleep and my son had company so I figured I would make good use of my time. The first one I scrapped was SuperDog. I used Dale Anns New paper pack Indian Summer and one of her super funky frames. They matched so well together. You can find all this and more at her store at OAKS and HODS.
My second one I used Sara Ellis and Dani Engebretson's Fab Collab Royal Chaos. You can find it at OAKS. And the crazy gal in the LO is my daughter Kayla. She's so silly.


I am in such a funk today. I had the best weekend. My sister and the baby along with my best friend came down to spend the night with me on Saturday. It was so good to have them here with me even if it was just for a little while. I didn't want to sleep at all because I knew my time with them would run out too soon. And of course it did. I blinked and it was Sunday afternoon and time for them to leave. I don't know why, but it was soooo hard for me to let them leave. Usually I'm not like that at all. I just miss them so much. It's never effected me like this. I really need my Best Friend here with me. She is the reason I am who I am. And I feel empty without her. Anyways.

Here is what you are all here for the FREEBIE! It was named after my mood. Just click on the image to download it. Hope you all like it. Feel free to add me to whatever freebie lists are going around.

Some blabbering and another FREEBIE!


Well its been a couple of days. I've been busy working on some things and I can't wait to share it with you all. First things first. Here is a LO I did for Dale Ann's CT. Its using her Lullaby Lane Collection. Its a super sweet kit. Good for boys and girls. Soft but not too babyish. This of course is my love again. I sure hope you all never get tired of seeing him. We just recently moved over 2 hours away and my heart breaks when I think I can't see him any time I want. So when I do I make sure to take enough pictures to last me until the next time. Here my LO. Please click on the LO to get full credits and to leave some love if you wanna.



Here is a little sneak peek of what I have been working on. I have always been a doodler. I would doodle so much, that I would often 'loose' information that I was writing down to begin with. I doodle while watching TV in the evenings and my kids think I'm super cool because I can 'draw'. Bahahaha....if only I could really draw. But for now I'm perfectly happy with my Doodley Buggers. Here is at Quick Page I have made using the mini kit I just finished.(click on the LO to download it) Hopefully it will be in stores (along with all my other designs SOON). I would love to know what you all think. Hope you like it and enjoy. Make sure to come back and check soon. I'm sure I will have something else for you real soon!

I have been digi-scrapping for about 2 years now, but just recently started hanging out in the Digital World. I have also been design-dabbling for a while. So I figured I would give into the peer-pressure and start a blog. Lemme tell you what you will find here. You will find previews of digi stuff that rocks my socks! I belong to a couple of CT teams that are AWESOME. You will get to get previews of some awesome stuff and info on sales ect.

The first CT I have ever been on is Sara Ellis! She gave me a chance when I was realllllllllllly new. (Thanks Sara) Her style is funky and fun. (Like me). You can find her designs at OAKS and Digi Scrap Boutique. Make sure to stop by and check her out. Tell her Rachel sent yah! Here is her latest Talkative Talk.

I have been in talks with a wonderful designer and she is currently in the mist of opening a NEW store. I have BEGGED her to let me try my hand at being a designer. Here is a Quick Page from my first kit that I'm working on. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me what you think (even if its not totally positive). I would love hear from you all. Thanks for stopping by and keep checking back. I have tons of goodies to share with you all. (click on the picture to download quick-page)
