A little different...

My new kit is done, and, admittedly it is a little different looking for me. More sophisticated, dare I say, modern, perhaps? it just flew out of me like it had a mind of it's own, so I guess it just HAD to be made, lol!

It is called Green Serene. Here is the preview:



Traci made this layout with it right away...isn't it a darling photo of her Nana? She made a headpiece of orchids for that Orchid Ball, from her own garden!

Thanks for stopping by and having a look! I'll say something newsworthy next time, promise! tee hee! :)

New Layouts!

My pal Traci Reed, the one and only original Scrapmommy created not ONE, but TWO wonderful layouts using my kits this week, and i just wanted to take this opportunity to share them with you!! Traci is also a designer, a wonderfully talented one, who sells at ACOT. My favorite thing about Traci's own designs has always been her talent for creating wonderful patterns. As a scrapper, and wonderful photographer, she is a hot commodity in the scrapping world and serves on many creative teams, besides my own, I am proud to say! She is quite talented at using tons of patterned papers on one page without ever looking too busy! When I first started out in digi scrapping, Traci taught me so much!! I owe her a great deal of gratitude and I really value her friendship!! :)

Here are those two layouts I told you about before I started gushing, lol!! This one is of Traci's Nana, whom she recently lost in death, sadly. Traci commemorates her memory beautifully with her skill as a scrapper and her use of my new Altered Whites Papers and Elements, as well as her use of a favorite song that reminds her of her Nana as journaling.



This next layout of Traci's is using mine and Robyn England's Festivus Kit. Traci recently visited Louisiana, and her journaling, and mysterious photo along with the mardis gras inspired papers and elements work perfectly together.



Oh how much I love to see layouts done with my kits! That reminds me!!! I know you have been buying my kits, but have you been scrapping with them too? If you have, read on below and see a special offer good for a few more days!

Have a wonderful day, friends! Enjoy your friends and family to the fullest!! :)

Hi everyone!

I am enjoying designing soooooo much! I didn't know before I started selling at Scrap Artist how much I would like it! I was a little worried I'd gotten in too deep! But I am having a blast! The above layouts were created by me, and my creative team member Mary-Ann Buchanan (maybeyousee)using my new Altered Whites papers and elements available at Scrap Artist....I LOVED making these designs!

What've i been up to?

Well, I have been a busy girl lately, to be sure! I have wanted to post here and let everyone know what things I've been up to, but each day that passed i was just too tired to pay a visit to me ol' wee blog and opted for the pillow instead! Well not tonight! I'm going to at least SHOW you some of the things I have been making! AND, I have some really special designs that will be available soon in the free Scrap Artist kit called Wintersong...it is available on December 24th and 25th only and anyone who spends ten dollars at the SA shoppe is gettin' it! I really think this kit is WELL WORTH the shopping spree, it is AWESOME...

But I don't have a preview of that yet! For now, take a look at some of my new kits available in the SA shoppe now, kits of my own, and combination kits with my girlfriends! And as always, thank you for stopping by!

BTW, a freebie will be coming your way soon, via this blog! Keep your eyes peeled! :)

Incredible, but true!

I have neglected my poor little blog and have been soooo busy lately with real life responsibility as well as a little designing.....but I have missed it! I will have previews to show you all of some of the work I have been busy with, but right now I thought I'd pop my head in and share with you this incredible, but true quote I just read by Friedrich Nietzsche and that I found on my friend Robyn England's blog today:

"We have art in order not to die of the truth"

I don't know about you, but this quote FLOORED me! It has so much personal significance, it is scary. Of course, Nietzsche is who I quote as part of the title of my blog, so finding his words easy to identify with, (at least some of them) wasn't the surprise. But the stark truth in this quote is what startled me. I'm going to bed, now, and I'm going to ponder on this, meditate on it's meaning.

I'd love to hear what you all think of it, though...how you interpret the meaning behind Nietzsche's words? It sure would be nice to hear from you all!

Nighty Night! Will see you soon, promise! :)
