So, as you may know from one of my previous posts that my guest spot on Colie's creative team as come to an end as of yesterday.........BUT.........today, she emailed me and asked me to stay on as a permanent!!!! Of course, I said 'yes', because I absolutely ADORE her kits and especially LOVE her templates!!!! I know I mentioned before that her templates are the BEST and my absolute fave!!!! Yes, I'm a template junkie, but it's hard not to be when you work with such great templates like hers!!!! So that is two guest spots that have turned permanent and I'm over the moon because I love them both! (The other is Gone Scrappin' Designs by Lyndie Collins) Okay, I just had to share this exciting part of my day!!! :)

Some CT Layouts!!!

2009-11-25T07:18:00.000-08:00

Holy Monkeys! I have been super busy. With a lot of things. Due to some family issues, I've had to pick up a part time job so that leaves little time for my blog updates....I apologize for the lack of. With a part time job, it leaves less time with family (especially my babies) and less time for scrapping but luckily as I get better at scrapping, the quicker I can get them done!!! So, I have quite a lot of layouts to post! lol

Some CT updates:

TotallyD Designs changes it's name is PixelPisces Designs...I'll have to change that to the left! And I have 5 more days as a great CT for Colie's Corner. What a great team and I've worked with some REALLY AWESOME kits of hers!!! And she has the best templates to work with EVER!!!! But I'm a template junkie!! lol And for Spinky Dink Scraps and Scrappity Doo Dah, I have 5 days and one month to go on their teams as guest. Two more great teams!!! I'll be especially sad to leave Spinky Dink Scraps, but all happens for a reason. Lindsay's scraps are totally awesome and I will be purchasing in the future!!!

And now for the layouts!!! (Some are NOT CT layouts, but I was excited to work with the kits!)

Some News and Some Layouts

2009-11-06T15:48:00.000-08:00

Okay, NEWS FIRST:

TotallyD Designs is changing it's name. At this point, I am unaware of what the new name is going to be and when everything will be ready (i.e. previews of kits, stores, etc...) so as soon as I find out, I will be updating my list to the side with the new name.

GSD by Lyndie Collins now has her store open at the PolkaDotPlum. So I will be adding that link to her list. Her time as guest designer at BrownieScraps is now up, so I will be removing that store from her list as well. Also, I started out with Lyndie as a guest CT, but she has asked me to become a permanent member and I have excepted. So I'm no longer a guest, but a permanent. Which, of course, thrills me to the bone as I absolutely love and adore her kits!!!

And lastly on the news front, I'm guesting for Colie's Corner at Gotta Pixel. So I will soon be adding her store and blinkie to my lists to the left. And following will be some layouts I made for her and some layouts with a new kit by Lyndie!

LAYOUTS LAST! (As always, the credits follow the layouts!)
