HAPPY DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY! New Kit & November Storms -

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day Friends!
I hope all of you have plenty of time to scrap this weekend, and, hopefully, you have more spare pennies than I do right now and can enjoy all of the fabulous sales going on in DigiLand! Smiles...

I am late getting this update posted for a couple of reasons. We have been getting literally pounded by torrential rains here in Washington, along with thunder, lightning, hail, the whole shamoley. At times, it has been as dark as night during the daytime...LOL! During the worst moments, I vacate this little office because the noise is deafening and pine cones sound like mortars hitting the roof...In other words, I run like a scared little bunny...Giggles...

When I prepared to post earlier, the DSB Designers received an email from Sweetmade to let us know that our store was down completely. It appears to have been a data base issue, but I truly know nothing of these things and was just thankful to hear we had not been hacked, since this seems to be happening more often to digital scrap sites. Why these guys would want to pick on Scrapbookers is beyond me, but I have noticed that they seem to target sites that are generally more important to women. Perhaps they feel threatened when we bond over artistic ventures? Who knows...

At any rate, the store is back up and running now so we have not missed DSD altogether. AND, we are having a Storewide 40 Percent Off SALE to celebrate the festivities. Spend $5.00 or more and you will receive a Free Giftie Bag! So, I will now share my newest kit with you, A HEART FOR ALL SEASONS - A HEART FOR ALL SEASONS is a Softly Romantic Kit With a Hint of Altered Vintage and Feminine Appeal. Every Letter of the Heart "Junque Deco" Alpha Features Different Treasures Beneath the Glass Cover. A Charming, and Oh So Dottie Black and White Lower Case Alpha, Punctuation, Numbers and Word Art Can Be Used Along With the Heart Alpha to Create Some Unique Titlework On Your Pages. Lots of Pretty Sparkle and Hearts Add to the Ambience! I Think This Kit is Extremely Versatile! A Kit Dedicated to Love, in All Its Many Precious Forms - From Contemporary to Heritage.Hope you like what you see...Smiles. This is a very good time to pick up THE ATC LOVER'S ULTIMATE DREAM KIT for the lowest price it will probably ever be, and SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE DREAM is a mere $2.99!

I honestly doubt if I will have time to get a blog gift together - I really want to take a little break and do some scrapping of my own in between spending time with DH. My Sweetie has a job interview on Wednesday - If hired, he will be working for the State of Washington and I will be adapting to taking the Metro to work. I will certainly miss having My Love at home on a daily basis, but our bills will get paid a lot faster with both of us employed full time. Then, perhaps, someday...(dreaming out loud), I can scale back my hours and spend more time designing, scrapping, writing and working around our home. I am desperate to complete the Heritage Books for my children, but I am almost certain this will not happen by Christmas. I'll share a few pages I have completed (I think) soon, so I can hopefully get some opinions and perhaps a little help. Smiles...I have learned to save as PSD's now so I can change up until I send them to be printed. My tastes have started changing again where layouts are concerned. I used to add so much color, even to Heritage Pages, but lately, I don't know, I am drawn to darker, starker, less busy...Another phase I am going through.

Well, tis 2 a.m...Sweet Dreams...
Hugs and Kisses!

P.S. I did create some mini scraps today...These are a dear friend that I saw recently at a wonderful get together for a special occasion. I didn't want to send the pics out to another precious friend without at least touching them up a bit, so here they are...A story telling series of three featuring, Our Beautiful Sherril -I have known this Lovely Lady (Special Ed Teacher) for 30 some odd years now - She is a whole bunch o' fun! I used Linda Gil Billdal's "Ornate Sheets" for the Backdrop and Brandy Murry's "Back Porch Clusters" for the Decor.
