Wednesday...

Hello everyone! I hope everyone's week is going well! We have made it to the half-way point! Yay :)

Once again thank you so much for your comments! And thank you so much Sharon for that great suggestion of keeping a calendar near me to write everything down so that when I do actually get around to scrapping I will have the information I need! Thanks for that!

And thank you so much for using the qp grammadiane! Your page looked great!

Sharon-shutterbug: That is a good idea to do the multiple libraries...I will have to look into doing that for me too!

And I'm very happy to hear that so many of you are bear collectors! That is so awesome!

And just so you know...one of the reasons I am able to do all that I do, is because I have the most amazing husband in the world. Joey truly supports me in anything that I want to do. And he is always giving me suggestions and input on my designs and I just totally am the luckiest woman to have someone who supports me so much! He truly wants me to succeed and to enjoy what I do. It's so nice to have someone come home and take the kids when I really want to finish up a kit, and he just is so wonderful. :) So I really think if I didn't have that support and help from my hubby that I wouldn't be able to do all that I do. I Love him :)

Sweetheaven had some great questions again! :)

I was wondering what made you decide to design and how did you come up with the name for your kits?
Digital Scrapbooking Designing for me came very naturally. I am a freelance graphic designer, with a Bachelors Degree in Visual Communications (Graphic Design), so I was designing things anyway. Plus I have been a scrapbooker for over 13 years, so discovering digital scrapbooking was just right along the path I wanted to take, combining both of the things that I really like to do. As soon as I discovered Digital Scrapbooking, I plunged right in and right away I knew I wanted to create kits...but it took me a little while to actually get the courage to do it, but once I did, I knew I had found something that I would never leave :)

Actually the naming of my kits and the writing the product descriptions are the hardest part of the whole thing for me. Thankfully I have a CT Member, Vickie Weers, who writes my descriptions for me now...THANK YOU VICKIE...it takes a whole lot of stress out of it for me. As far as the names...sometimes it comes naturally and sometimes I have to really put a lot of thought into it and sometimes I even have to ask my CT or others to help me. My hubby has actually named a few of my kits for me! LOL It just depends on the kit and the colors and the theme....


So I thought I would give you a little SNEAK PEEK of the kit that I am working on. Valentine's Day is coming soon and I am working on a great kit. I have now finished the papers for it and am about halfway done on the bears and then I will do the miscellanous elements to wrap up the kit. This kit is called ATTACHED AT THE HEART and will be coming to all my stores on February 8th. In the meantime...I thought I would just give you a preview of the papers! Let me know what you think and I hope it gets you excited about what's coming! I am very pleased with how these papers turned out!




Well I want to go work on my Valentine bears some more...so I will leave you for today with another quickpage by catlady!

SORRY THIS LINK HAS EXPIRED


Have a great Wednesday!

Sounds like you hubby is totally awesome!! Tell him we all say 'thank you' for supporting you and making it possible for us to enjoy your kits!! The Valentine kit looks awesome!! Here is a question...What inspired you to do your animals, especially all those adorable bears? Was it looking for something unique in designing kits? Were your children the inspiration? Many thanks again to you and catlady for the beautiful QP!! Have a wonderful evening!
