New Kit: Nature Boy

Ok I know I know it's been pretty quiet around here but I've been having a lot of RL issues with DS and getting him ready for kindergarten next year. He's having to transition a lot and it takes a toll on us all when his schedule is changed so I haven't had much time on the computer but hopefully that can change soon. I did manage to get the most adorable picture ever of him though (not that I'm biased) and wanted to show him off a little.... Plus I'm having a lot of fun with my new Cannon XSI!



And I did manage to get a kit ready for ya'll and I am so excited to show it off today! It's actually a collab with Julie Marie Designs! I've had the pleasure of doing some CT work for her and loved her stuff so when she offered to do a collab I was honored! Here's the new kit, pick it up at Inspiration Lane!





Here's some CT layouts to show it off by Linda, Martina, and Sara:

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Sales!

Genevieve's Wishing Well

So is everyone in scrapland having fun with all the great sales this weekend??? LOL I think I'm guilty of running a little wild too. I am still very much a scrapper as a lot of my forum buddies know lol. Well I have my first mini kit ready to debut today for you all. I had a blast with this and it all just seemed to fall together so quickly and easily. It was inspired by my CTM Sara's picture of her adorable little girl, Genevieve. She was telling me how it's hard to find a kit in blues and greens that are for girls and not boys. So here we have it, Genevieve's Wishing Well was created:




You can check it out in the store here and it's included in my 40% off store sale making it only $1.65!! Don't wait on this, the sale only goes until 5/3!

And just to show it off a little, here's a layout I did with it along with the picture that inspired it all:



I decided to turn it into a freebie for you all to enjoy! Have fun and you can pick up the QP here.

Happy NSD week!

Hey guys I know I've become a little quiet lately. April is such a big month for us. With Easter, my birthday, school ending and getting all of DS's schooling info ready for next year it's just been one crazy whirlwind after another. Then to boot my PSP program quit working and it took me weeks to get it working again! So I haven't been able to scrap or design much at all but I'm headed in the right direction to get back on track!

Ok so the reason for blogging today is to tell you all about all the happenings over at the Inspiration Lane forum. We've decided to have a special event and for this week only we are extending our normal "Wish for it Wednesday" to last all week long! That's right, every day you can check in the forum an wish for all your favorite products! So get browsing though the store and make sure to post your wish! You never know when yours might come true! Today is my day so head on over and make a wish for that kit you've been wanting! Click the image to be taken to the forum!

Return of the Donation Kit

So when I first started designing, as some of you who have been with me for awhile might remember, I started out just having donation kits on my blog. Well I've decided to bring them back ya'll and I am super excited about this! I know how hard times are around the country (and even the world) and this is kind of my way to help out so that you all can get kits at a price that works for you and everyone is happy!

The way this works is I will put up a kit for sale on my blog along with a paypal button that you can use to send in your donation for the kit. Once you have completed your transaction through paypal you will then be forwarded to a page where you will find the download links for the kit. That's it! No waiting for links, or queued orders etc. Simple enough right!? Ok so onward to the kit then.

The current donation kit is an adorable little kit that I just had so much fun working on. Welcome to Bunniville everyone:





These adorable bunnies are perfect for tons of different layouts. The kit can be used with boy or girl layouts and are great for Easter pics, park layouts, outdoors pictures, spring layouts, all kinds of things! I've got so many layout's planned out in my head right now lol I just hope to find the time to make them! I thought it'd also make some cute birth announcements or invitations. This is a full size kit, 12x12 Papers and all items made at 300 DPI. Kit is for personal use and is Scrap 4 Hire friendly too!

Kit Includes:
9 Papers, 7 Adorable Bunnies5 Frames, 4 Flowers, 3 Leaves, 3 Clouds, 3 Buttons, 3 Birds, 2 Trees, 2 Ribbons, 2 Journal Mats, 2 Fuzzy Hearts, 2 Butterflies, 1 Sun, 1 Rainbow, 1 Mat, 1 Ivy Vine, 1 Grass Border, 1 Fence, 1 Carrot, 1 Bow (recolored), 1 Bee, 1 Basket,


In order to obtain this kit all you have to do is make a donation of ANY kind! No matter how big or how small! ANY amount is very much appreciated!

If you wish to donate, follow the link below to receive this kit in full! I would love to see anything that is made using this kit! Once you have successfully made a donation you should be re-directed to the download page for the kit. If this does not happen or if you have any other problems please e-mail me to let me know at honey414@swbell.net.

And I wouldn't let you go without enjoying a totally cute freebie to coordinate right!? Check out the adorable wordart I made for you to enjoy. Pick it up here. And check out the cool fuzzy font in there...hmmm....could a new alpha be in the works????



Hope ya like it! And here's a little inspiration from my CT.
