I seem to be on a roll lately and have been able to accomplish a lot!  I just finished loading up a brand new kit!  Last week I had a new one also – just never had the time to post – and also I re-packaged an older one that I did for a contest last year – but never released!!

New this week:

It is blue-butterfly day here in spring,

And with these sky-flakes down in flurry on flurry

There is more unmixed color on the wing

Than flowers will show for days unless they hurry.

But these are flowers that fly and all but sing:

And now from having ridden out desire

They lie closed over in the wind and cling

Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mir.

—Robert Frost

This poem was my inspiration for this kit.  Spring is the season of rebirth and to me nothing is a better symbol of rebirth than a butterfly.

This kit includes:

10 patterned papers (300dpi, 12×12)

8 solid papers (4 shabby, 4 worn)

34 unique elements

Here are some additional views:

Purchase Blue-Butterfly Day at Designs in Digital or Divine Digital.

Last week I released a new kit – Cherry Heart.

Spring has sprung here in the Southern USA and beautiful flowers are on the trees and covering lawns. This kit is spring bursting from the page!  It’s a very feminine kit for those girly girls in your life.( I am not sure I could have gotten more pink in there <G>)

Includes: 12 papers (300dpi, 12×12)

26 elements

Purchase Cherry Heart at Divine Digital or Designs in Digital.

I also dusted off this sewing themed kit I completed for the NDIDDS warm-up last year, added to it, repackaged it and released it for the first time!

“Sew Fun”

This versatile kit is stuffed with fun stuff to use on your sewing pages. (You could also use some of the elements for a weight loss page!)

Includes: 10 12×12 papers – 300 dpi, jpeg file format &  20 elements (Including an alpha!)

Purchase Sew Fun at Designs in Digital or Divine Digital.

I’ve also released a new CU overlay set  in the past few weeks!  (And more coming really soon!!)

Purchase Cutie Birdie Overlays at Digi Scrap Vault or Digi Scrap Warehouse.



Wow… where to start???

The exciting news first….. I am now selling at Digi Scrap Workshop!  I am so excited to be part of 2 great CU stores and you should be seeing a lot of new CU over the next few months.

I am also excited to have a new kit out.  Fly little birdie, spring is in the air! This kit is filled with pinks, greens and whispers of spring. Perfect for girly pictures, but still enough blue and green for boys also!

You can buy it at Designs in Digital or Divine Digitals.

Also, new this week – some unique CU for your stash!  I have 2 new overlay kits and a new element kit – Fasten me Rows.  (Look for the 2 set out soon!)

Want to win a Wacom Bamboo Craft?!  Well, enter the 3rd annual NDIDDS – New Designs in Digital Design Star competition because the winner gets one!  This is the competition I tied for 5th in last spring.  It was a ton of fun, and I met a lot of great designers – plus got some feedback and tips on designing.  (Plus, some freebie tuts and CU!!)  Not to mention I won a spot selling at Designs in Digital!  The fun starts Wednesday with a warm-up (non mandatory) with the actual competition starting next week. CHECK IT OUT This year there are some great things planned :)

I am also excited that I just launched my new store at Digi Scrap Vault! It’s awesome to be in such a great QUALITY commercial use store!!  This week I am running a sale for 35% off to celebrate my opening.  This is a big deal because I am raising prices as I enter my second year of designing.  I know…. WHY you ask??  Well, my products are high quality and take time to create and quality check to make sure you are getting a top notch product.  I did a survey of other CU designers that I admire and found my prices were rock bottom low.  So, it was time to raise prices to make my stuff competitive in the CU market. So,  makes sure you catch my sale!

Are you following me on Facebook??  Make sure you check out my Fan page! When I reach 100 fans I have a special Facebook only freebie!! So, make sure you follow me and don’t miss out!!

I also have several new CU products coming out this week.  Here is a sneak peak!

Now available at Designs in Digital and Divine Digital – Coming soon to Digi Scrap Vault!

Yes, it’s been a while! I think I really do get the “worse blogger of the year award!” I have been so slack….

Anyhow, at least I haven’t been slack with my creations! I have been really busy making new CU and kits :) I am excited about a new venture I have entered into with Day (of Day’s Digi Designs) and Linda (of Mrs. Jaybob Designs). We have gone together to create a new digi scrap brand called Inspirations. We have a rocking website DigiInspiraitons and have a blog with some great freebies on it! You will not want to miss them. Here are some great items we have recently released at Designs in Digital:

I will also continue designing under Tootlebugz and have recently added several new CU products to my stores:
