Ho Ho Holiday... AND a FREEBIE!!

2009-11-18T09:59:00.001-05:00

Hello!!

There's been a BUNCH of things happening since I last posted... (I know, I'm super-bad at blogging! lol)

I guess the BIGGEST *happening* is... my bestest friend and her hubby... opened their store... "Creative Mundi"... AND... have started me on my dream of being a designer!

My newest kit that I have out is... Ho Ho Holiday (hence the title of this blog! pretty original... eh?! lol)

Here's a preview:

Click HERE to see in the store!

I also have ANOTHER kit... which is super-cute (if I do say so myself!), called "Happily Ever After"... the preview:

and you can purchase this kit... HERE

My disappearing blog! LOL

2009-09-04T13:28:00.001-04:00

Okay... so I changed the background and THIS happends! EVERY post I've posted... is now... GONE!

The WEIRDEST part of it is... I have an Ipod touch - and had my blog address in it... when I click on it in my Ipod - I can see the ORIGINAL blog (pre-background-change blog, I mean! lol)... SO... Here's the copy/paste from my Ipod! (yet ANOTHER reason to love my Ipod!!)

(I'll revise it later with the pics that it's missing!)

I think deep down inside me... I'm a RESEARCHER. I get it naturally, I think... I can remember as a little girl... gazing with wonderment at my Daddy as he looked through the pages of *Consumer Reports*.
He ALWAYS did it at the dining room table... because THIS was SERIOUS business. Daddy worked hard for the money he made... and he always wanted to get whatever the BEST was, that he could afford. Whether it be a stove, TV or phone... I don't remember exactly how old I was when I started watching him... but I remember that I couldn't read! lol So that was pretty little!

I am also a bargain hunter. I got THIS from my Mom. Like I said before... my Daddy worked HARD for the money he made... one of the reasons he worked so hard... was for my Mom. He wanted her to be able to stay at home with us, when we were little... for as long as she wanted... SO, he worked 3 jobs... and my Mom took care of us... made our house a *home*, and also took care of BOTH sets of our grandparents. My Mom had a lot of respect for my Dad... and tried to always get the most for their money when making purchases for the family.

Anyhow (believe it or not, I AM going somewhere with this! lol), I know I mentioned before, that I would really like to be able to eventually design digital scrapbooking kits.

I thought I would start doing some honest *reviews* of some of my favorite kits... Since therereally aren't too many *reviews* of scrapbooking kits... giving the buyer some sort of comparison guide - telling them exactly what is in the kit...

The way I'm thinking... the more I learn what *Makes a good kit*... the more I'll be able to MAKE that *good kit* once I start designing!

Holy Canoli... What a DAY!!
POSTED BY MOEJOE ON TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2009/ COMMENTS: (0)

Seriously...

I thought the other day my head was spinning with the good news of being chosen to be a part of Dream's Pieces Creative time... Well, today had my heart beating so hard and fast I thought it was going to jump out of my chest!

Not only is she a fabulous designer... but she has such a kind & giving heart!! I had shown her a QP I did (which was done the wrong way! lol Trust me... it was BAD! LOL) and she took the time to make a tutorial for me, to show me the proper way to do them. If that wasn't enough... she's put them in her store! How AWESOME is THAT!!

So... without any further adieu...

If you like it... and want to buy it... go ahead and click on the picture, and it will take you to her store!

She has it at two of her other stores as well... here are the links to those. :o)

Scrap Outside the Boxor Scrappity-doo-dah

Well... NEXT on the list, is an A-DORABLE little kit called *Perfect World, by Dream's Pieces*. This has the CUTEST little graphics I've ever seen! You really can't appreciate how much detail are in the papers too...

and here is the layout I made with her kit!

I WILL post about why/how this has such a PROFOUND meaning to me someday soon... I promise... (I need to tell Cintia/Dream's Pieces too) but right now... I am REALLY overwhelmed with how AWESOME God is... how FAITHFUL He is... when I am SO undeserving... All I can say right now is...
Thank you AGAIN, Jesus. :o)

I made it!!! POSTED BY MOEJOE ON MONDAY, JULY 6, 2009/ COMMENTS: (1)

I can't believe it... I really did it! I'm just TOO excited about this!

I started digital scrapbooking a few months ago... I guess you could say I sortof *bumped* into it... while looking for some photoshop tutorials. Someone should've warned me about how much FUN it is to digi-scrap! I had never done *real* scrapbooking before, I was perfectly fine with those old photo albums... or keeping my pictures in an old shoebox... lol Sad... but true!

Anyhoo... I've really grown to love doing it (now THAT is an understatement! lol), and I've read all about applying to be on a CT (Creative Team) for Digi-Scrap Designers... but I've never felt like I was *good enough*, and was too scared to even apply...

Well, I was browsing through the forum at Scrappity-doo-dah (LOVE that name... don't you?! lol), and saw a CT Call from a FABULOUS designer called ~ Dream's Pieces (formally known as Cintia Cafe). If youve never seen her designs... then you seriously need to take a look... because this lady REALLY has talent!! I LOVE her designs!!

I guess between what I've written so far, and the title of this post, you can kinda sortof guess that... I MADE IT!!! This kind soul has decided to take a chance on me!! :::happy.dance::: I can't tell you how honored I am to be able to make some layouts for her... I just can't stop smiling everytime I think about it!

Now... to show off her NEW kit... 'Poem of Love';

This kit is available at a few different stores... click on the store name below, and it will take you to the kit directly!

and here's the layout that I made with her kit... I can't tell you how much I loved working with it!

I'm off to Church now, but I'll have more to share later!
