Free Page Kit AND Mini Element Pack!!

I'm posting November in the T Dot slightly late, but it took me two months to make it, so what's a few hours? LOLOL! The kit was finished when I suddenly decided it needed a few extras, which is why the little element pack. I know element packs are typically have more like 8 items, but... yeah. This pack is mini :) I hope you like them!

And here's the mini element pack! :D

Story behind this kit: I was greatly inspired to make this after my mother in law took an AWESOME photo from a balcony, looking toward downtown Toronto! Toronto is often called the T Dot, hence the kit name. I created a colour scheme from the photo... from the bright gold of the traffic and streetlights to the rich caramels and browns and finally the cloudy grey sky with a shot of pink on the horizon, it made a very pretty colour scheme, IMO!

Layouts using this kit are to come. I'm thinking about making an alpha for this, too... a nice chocolatey glitter one!

I have yet another kit in the works, so keep your eyes peeled! It's going to be very cute :)

Happy Scrapping!

Star Ribbon freebies!

Here's another freebie! Are you getting tired of ribbons yet, LOL? Never fear, I've got some word art as well and THREE free kits coming up in the next few days (possibly a couple more if I continue on this creative streak)!

I can't thank you all enough for supporting me here in my fledgling stages of design. I'm so happy that you like these items, it really encourages me to keep making more and getting better each time (I hope!)

A glass heart alpha!

Hi everyone! I have another new freebie for you! Time is just going on by and I'm so uninspired to make the kits I was planning on, but I think I've got another one in mind and it's rather exciting :)

CU OK!

Making alphas is rather addicting! I've got another glass heart alpha made for my SNL 58 kit, which will be posted here in a few days. I think it's my best kit yet! I'm so excited for SNL 59!

Multiplicity 4 just wrapped up on DSP. The designers involved this time, Elizabeth, Tina, Suzanne, and Meryl pumped out some GORGEOUS kits with a very purple and silver colour scheme with the theme of love. I've officially changed my wedding celebration colours to purple and silver (they had been white and aqua)!!!

I hope you all enjoy the freebie :) There's more where that came from!

Happy scrapping!

CU OK!

I really need to change my blog layout, LOL. And somehow fix where it won't let anyone comment. And post some recent layouts I did!

I'm currently working on the November in the T Dot kit that SHOULD have been finished in... well... November. Hah. I'm hoping to have one or two more kits done before the end of the month too, but as well all know, stuff happens! I will try my best :)

Metallic Ribbons!

Wooo, I am here with a freebie for you guys today! I scanned this metallic ribbon I'd bought on clearance and coloured it :) I think my favourite one is the teal ribbon, which I made almost two-toned.

I'm also doing Project 365. Check out my Flickr here to see pics in the Project 365 album, and follow me if you like. Check out my other links if you care to! I always love having new buddies :)

SNL 57 kit available!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2010 is an amazing and creative year for all of you! I apologize for my absence, but again, in the wake of my father's traumatic passing, I just couldn't bring myself to do much of anything. I thank you all for your wonderful support and well wishes. It means SO much to me that this little blog would attract such great people. May God bless you all in this coming year! *Hugs*

Mom and I spent Christmas Eve and Day at family members' houses, and while it was very hard to assume any spirit, we're so appreciative of the new, sweet memories we have formed. I have quite a number of photographs to scrap, and I've got the itch to get back to scrapping. I also grabbed a number of kits and things on closeout during DSP's massive sale; I got them all for 75% off!

Kits I've Acquired Lately:
- Snow Queen by Carole Harden
- Nighttime at the Fairy Glen I and II by Nicole Young
- Aspen by Carole Harden (okay, so I didn't actually *buy* it, it was a store freebie for buying other kits)
- Magical Blue Winter by Erica Belton
- Heart-Warming Winter II by Erica Belton
- Beautiful QuickClick by Carole Harden
- Closeout items no longer available at DSP including Erica's beautiful Alaire kit and matching AoP, Nicole's lovely Starry Starry Stitches Groupies and Sprinkle & Shine kit, and Lauren's summer-sweet Lime Time Backpack.

My SNL 57 kit is now available for your scrapping pleasure.

- 1 teal crayon star
- 1 denim matt
- 1 "Just Play" wordart
- 1 rocking horse
- 1 set of 3 puzzle pieces

I hope you enjoy! :)

The challenge for SNL 58 is up. Its theme is "The Best of Times" and the focus is Reflections. Here's the colour scheme, isn't it lovely?


I'm already plotting what my kit will look like. I'm getting excited about it!

This was another set of colours in the colour scheme vote on DSP. I'm kind of sad to see it not win, but I love it so much and want to nab it to make my own kit with. It reminds me of my vacations in Virginia Beach when I was a teen!


Have a great weekend, everyone! I hope to get off my bum and start making more freebies and expand my knowledge :)

Happy Scrapping!

Sad News

My father passed away in the early hours of the 17th, after going into shock from massive blood loss. Needless to say, I currently don't have the heart to start creating anything or sharing anything interesting here. I don't want to leave you guys hanging, but I *WILL* return slowly next month. Please stay tuned, everyone, and thanks for your lovely support so far.
