3 Dog Designs now Exclusive to Denim and Daisies

After much soul searching, I have decided to cut down on my outside commitments, and my products will now only be available in one store. I realized that being in two stores, was stretching me too thin, and my personal life and my design quality was starting to suffer. I felt torn between both stores, and I didn't think that was fair to either of them or to me. So I resigned effective immediately at My Life and Scrap. They are a great bunch of people over there and I will miss them all very much.
Make sure you head on over to Denim and Daisies, all my products are 50% off!!! :-)

The Artisan Notebook

There is a wonderful ezine (Digital Magazine) called The Artisian Notebook. This month, one of my kits is used in the section called Inspiration Station. The layout was done by the wonderfully talented HeideC (Lead Site CT at Denim and Daisies)
Also a kit by a wonderful designer friend of mine (Jennifer Fox Designs) also has a layout where her kit is featured! So if you haven't already, pick up a copy of this wonderful magazine.. They have lots of articles on everything from photography, to Digi scrapping and even organizing all of those wonderful kits we all have!! You can get a copy of the magazine over at MyLifeandScrap
Did I mention they have a really cool add on freebie available to those that buy the magazine?!?!

This week

As you know last weekend was the Grand Opening for Denim and Daisies!! We had a great time during the grand opening, and the fun continues this week. There are lots of fun challenges going on, you should stop by and check them out.

I participated in a couple of the "challenges" that have been going on this week. The first one I did was a lyric's challenge. We had to come up with a song that meant something to us, and then scrap a page around that song. I chose the song In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride. Everytime I hear that song I tear up thinking about what a wonderful gift my daughter Evelyn has been to me. I lost my first child (a little girl named Michaela) in 1998 due to complications with my diabetes. It took me almost 8 years to get up the guts to try again, but with lots of dedication and hard work, my husband and I were blessed with our daughter Evelyn. She is beautiful and perfect in every way (of course I think that since I am her mom right?) LOL Anyway, this song has always touched me..

The second challenge I participated in, was a Raw Denim challenge, that was using a template.. I made a page of my dog Britianie, who I miss very much!! She was and always will be the BEST dog in the world!! :-)

So make sure you head over to Denim and Daisies (www.denimanddaisies.net) and check out the games and challenges! I am sure everyone will find something that will make them want to Sit! Stay! Scrap!!
