Prosperity

I finally have a new kit in the store. It has been a few months since I have put a new kit in my store. I still enjoy designing, but life gets crazy. I'm sure most people know what I mean. I actually finished this a few weeks ago, but I'm just now getting around to putting it in the store. You can purchase this kit at Groovy Scraps for $3.90.

As a gift, here is a small sample of the kit. Remember, please don't share my links. Send them to my blog.

A new grab bag

I have a personal use grab bag available in my store. This grab bag contains 2 full size kits, 1 element pack and 4 mini kits. I won't show you what they look like though. That will remain a surprise. I will reveal what is in the grab bag part way through the month. This will be available only through the month of February, then each of the items will be available individually or the entire bag will be $15.00. Don't miss out on this great deal.

A new kit and a sale

We are having a sale at Groovy Scraps. I am offering 40% off of everything in my store. This sale will only last a week.

I know I haven't been super active lately on my blog, but I do have a new kit finally. It is called Holiday Cheer. It is available here in my store at Groovy Scraps. Below is a preview. I hope I am not too late for your holiday photos. I have tons of photos I need to scrap so I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I have a few brag book pages to give you in honor of my new kit. I hope you can use these cute brag book pages for your Holiday photos. Please do not share my links. Send them to my blog instead.

Crew's Journey

I stumbled across a blog that has really touched my heart. This is a blog about a tiny little baby named Crew. He was a twin born at 28 weeks. His twin brother passed away prior to birth due to twin to twin transfusion syndrome. Crew is fighting for his life now. He is progressing and doing really well for such a tiny little guy. I read this blog every day and I have added Crew to my prayers each day. You can read about him here. His mom is a digital scrapbooking designer also. The designers she sells with have created a kit to help the family pay for Crew's NICU cost, which will be huge, even with insurance. I didn't hesitate to purchase it. It is on sale at Plain Digital Wrapper. I don't usually advertise for kits that are not my own, for my CT designers or from one of my stores, but this is an exception.

I'm posting about this on both blogs. This is a very worthwhile kit. It is huge and adorable.

When you say your prayers, please include Crew. He could use all the prayers he can get.

Old Fashion Christmas Add-on

I added a little bit onto my kit "Old Fashion Christmas" and redid the preview. I have learned so much about previews in the 14 months I have been designing. I used to think I needed to make the nice and neat so you could see everything that was in them. I have found people seem to like them better when they are a little messy. Go figure.

I know there are a few isolated people who purchased my Old Fashion Christmas kit last year, so I am making the add-on available as a freebie on my blog. For those of you who may not have purchase it, right now is the perfect time to do so. It is on sale for 50% off. That makes this kit only $1.88. Some of the pictures I used in this kit remind me of Norman Rockwell photos of long ago. The Dover book I used was the best. I hope you enjoy this kit. Everything in my store is currently 50% off for the Christmas season. I will be slowly redoing my previews and maybe even adding to the kits I have in the store. I would love to see what you make with my kits, so feel free to give me a link to your gallery if you use something I made.

My sister-in-law just emailed me some sad news. For those LDS members, Elder Wirthlin died last night. He was 91. He died in his sleep of old age. The little blurb she sent said he worked in his office all the way up to Thanksgiving. He served the Lord all the way to the end. He will be missed, but I am sure he is enjoying a happy reunion with his wife.

Blog award and 2 daily downloads

I got a blog award from one of my former CT members, Robin. I need to list 7 things I am thankful for. This is an easy one for me as I have a lot to be thankful for. I am also suppose to tag 7 people, but I don't really like trying to tag people, so if you read this, then consider yourself tagged.
1. My amazing husband
2. My 3 great kids (I could have listed them individually, but I thought that was cheating)
3. each day that I have with my mother-in-law
4. My husband's job
5. The restored gospel of Jesus Christ
6. The chance to live in a free country
7. My parents, brothers and sisters

Groovy Scraps will be starting a Christmas daily download starting tomorrow. It will run through Christmas day or eve, I can't remember which. When you go to the forum area at GS, then click on downloads on the top bar. Each download will be available for only 24 hours. At the end, you will end up with the entire kit, called Santa's Kiss. These are the 2 days I have contributed. Mine will be available on the 15th and the 24th. Along with the daily download, my entire store will be on sale for 50% off through the 24th. I don't have anything new in the store, sorry. I don't know when I will get something new either.
My friend Aimee is going to have a daily download on her blog. It will start tomorrow. She is an amazing designer. You can find her blog here. Don't miss out on these 2 great chances to get some Christmas kits to scrap those holiday photos.

My Strength

I finally got everything together and in the store. Now presenting our charity kit called My Strength. All the proceeds for this kit will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This kit is huge-230 MB worth of scrapbooking joy. The papers and the elements are beautiful. This kit can be purchased at Groovy Scraps. It is a steal at only $6.00. Thanks to Kim Cameron, Tracy Drane, Wddesignz, Demiurgia Designs and Biebels Scraps for their contributions to this kit. I hope everyone can help out with this amazing cause. I know first hand how hard this disease can be on an individual and on a family.
