Dark Moon

I have written another tutorial, this time using a kit called Dark Of The Night from Gothic Inspirations. Yes that is one of the designers I CT for. This kit was really cool and I actually finished the tag with time and energy enough to post it and talk about it. I always intend to rave about the great kits I have used but normally when I'm coming to post - my brain is all like 'words - yuck!' Anyway this kit was in one of my favorite colors - purple. Yes - I'm a huge fan of pink but this kit wouldn't look right pink and it was very awesome. There are alot of frames and elements to play with, which are a big part of the tag I made. I pretty much loved this whole kit and with so many elements in it, I know I can use it over and over for tags and layouts.

Wild Thing

Okaaaay.. so I made this tag last week and ran the script for it, but totally forgot to send it out to my always list or for offer.. der! I had to run out with my husband for dinner right after the script finished and I totally spaced it when I got home and since. I've been kinda super busy and tired, I guess more than I realized. I just ran a script on this tag again to add in the names of folks who have signed up since last week and the tag is uploading to my fotki now. I only realized my over sight today when I went to run the script for another tag I made! It just clicked as I was clicking.. I'm not a scatterbrain - I'm just a chaotic thinker :) I used a kit called Eclipse from Urban Fairytales.

Anyway, here is the tag - hopefully they like it.

Wound up!!

Oh gosh, I soooooo need to get my butt to bed and it's not happening. I'm too bouncey! We had a big day of shopping for school clothes for my son, who is very happy with what he got this year. He had a little more say in what he wanted than in previous years when he mostly had to take what we got him. But he is 11 now and he knows what he likes and what he won't wear. He already got all his other school supplies earlier in the week, which his Nana and a very generous friend got him. He ended up with a back pack stuffed full of school supplies! Lucky kid - hehe! I snapped some pictures when we went to show off his new clothes to Nana, which I'll be using in layouts soon.

As if that's not enough.. I get home and check my email to find out I was accepted as a CT for Totally Sweet Designs! I was wicked excited over this.. as I had applied for their team and wasn't sure they'd want me, with so many talented people out there. They picked me! *Squeals* and five other folks :) Congrats to everyone else who was accepted! I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with such talented designers and other ct members.

So.. I'm all hyped about this and I come on over here to grab my blog link for their database and woah - I have a message from Gothic Inspirations (Jessica Woods Creations) about her CT.. if you are not familiar with her work - omg! go to her blog and get familiar! For Real - I mean it.. go!

It's hard not to smile.. I was already on the CTs for The Urban Fairy, HezaScraps, and Designs by Cindi.. all talented ladies with great kits - of course I danced in my chair as I got on each of their CTs - I just didn't make it public! Oh darn, I think I just did. hehe.. Okay so now everyone knows how much of a dork I am. Oh well - it's worth it to be given the chance to work with all these awesome designers. I made my first real scrap layout with a kit by The Urban Fairy, I wrote my very first tutorial with a kit from Designs by Cindi, and did my first blog layout/header for someone else with HezaScraps.. for her blog. THANK YOU to all of you for thinking my tags, tuts, and layouts are worthy of your CTs. I am honored and thrilled beyond words to be on each and every one!

Anyway.. (if you're still here reading..) at this point I'm literally bouncing out of my chair with excitement!! Seriously - my husband was like what are you doing over there? He had to later tell me to stop making my happy face... hey - these are the things that make me happy. I'm not hard to please, just give me something shiny, pat me on the head, and tell me I rock! hehehehe! Okay back to my story.. double CT awesomeness whammy!! I'm all giddy and stuff :) We know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow! Heck it is tomorrow and I'd be playing in psp right now if it wasn't 4am. I really need to get some sleep...

Haircut!

The whole family got haircuts today. A friend of my mother in law comes to her house to do hers and offered to give the rest of us a trim as well. She does a really nice job and we were all happy with how each of ours came out. I snapped a few shots of my son after we got back home, when I asked him about his expression and all - he replied with 'just being cool'. It cracked me up but I used it in the wording on the layout.

For this layout I used a scrapkit called Butterfly Wishes by Melissaz Creationz. It's a neat kit with lots of bright colors - great for a boy or even a girl as there are flowers and butterflies among the papers and elements.

Boo-tiful CT stuff

I got the chance to play with another awesome kit from The Urban Fairy today. This is her latest kit, it's called Boo-tiful. I made a blog layout with it as well as a scrap page which I also made as a quick page to share with others. I absolutely loved the elements in this kit. The flowers are amazing, the little characters are adorable, I especially love the swirlies and butterfly. Kit is available for purchase here: OSDS

Here are the page and the blog layout. Download links are beneath the previews.

I made a quick page!!!!!!!!!

Woohooo.. dances around! Okay maybe it's not all that and a bag of chips, but it's my first one. I don't have many personal pics on my computer so I ended up working on this page and not having my own pics to use in it. That's how it ensed up a quick page. Now that I've done it, I'm totally excited about it! Of course I'll get better at them with more practice.. hehe now I have an excuse to play more.. anyway onto the page..

Rock On blog

I have finished another layout, this one looks pretty simple but it took me awhile to finish it and get it to look like this.. or rather it took me doing it over a bunch of times. The kit I was working with was pretty cool but I just couldn't get the right combination of papers and elements - aaghhh I hate when that happens. I almost gave up but then I decided one more try.. and voila! It all just came together. It was likely all the distractions from the family earlier tonight that kept me from getting this one easily. Darn family - don't they know I'm creating here? lol!
Anyway here is the layout and I think I'm going to do a tag with this kit tomorrow, I got a bunch of ideas in that direction while working on the layout. If anyone wants to use this - please save to your own photohost and use the credits below the preview.
The kit can be purchased HERE
Thanks!

CoolTwi Blog

I made another layout today, in between melting and watching for thunderstorms.. oy the weather here is just lovely today. For the layout I used another kit from the very talented HezaScraps. This time I was playing with a kit full of pretty blues and purples. I really love the doodle-swirly elements.

Flowery

Here is another layout I made tonight. This time I used HezaScraps Flowery Fields kit.
It's kind of simple, I didn't use a lot of embelishments on it. The simplicity of it is what makes it pretty.. Well that and the colors.. Some great color in this kit!

Here is a second version of this same layout, with just a little more to it. There is only a small difference between this one and the one above. When I saved the first one I forgot I had one layer closed so it wasn't visible. I realized it after and couldn't decide which version I liked more, since they were so close. I ended up saving this next one as an alternate version of the first. Please use the same credits as above if you want to use it.

Stardust

Haha, I'm so tired that the thinking part of my brain is not really awake. I was just sitting here watching the script to make this tag for my always list run in my psp. La la la. So I was asked to join a second CT team.. after putting it out to some friends that I was looking to join more if they knew anyone who needed some more people on their CT.. and I got a bite. Wooot! I am excited because it's someone whose CT I had wanted to join before but missed the chance. I'm excited to be on two CTs. *bounces* Oww.. don't bounce when you're tired! Anyway onto the tag I just finished making with a kit called Periwinkle Tea by HezaScraps.

Be Yourself (take 2)

Challenge group = good! I made another tag for it today. We were given a frame this time and had to make a tag with it. I used a celeb in this one, some pics I had of her and 1 tube. I used a couple of odds and ends I had to spruce it up a little but really not alot for bits on this one. I am a little unsure of the colors/font I used for the name but other than that I like how it came out. I call this take two because I named the tag Be Yourself and realized after I made a tag before with the same name.. Oh well :)

Wish

Well I definitely think my I'm back in my taggin groove now.. cause I have yet another tag to share. I make tags most often with a person as the center of it, whether it be a celeb or a tube from a PTU artist, so for me this tag is another walk beyond my usual style. The center of the tag is not a person, in fact there is no person in this tag at all. I find it simple, pretty, peaceful, and kind of soothing. Once again I did not use a scrap kit like I so often do, what can I say? I'm addicted to scraps. For this tag, I used bits and pieces I had to create with. I have made this for my laways list but have decided to make it a semi exclusive tag and I am only offering it in one new group I joined.

Wanted

Well it seems I have gotten my taggin groove back - yay! For awhile I wasn't making anything or having fun with psp. It seems that I have finally snapped out of that funk and I'm back to playing in psp. I still have lots of work to do on my rp site but I've also made good progress there so feeling the weight lift some on having too many things to do and not enough time or hands to do them. That's what took the fun out of it for me, I had too many projects going at once.

So anyway I made another tag today, I was a little unsure when I first chose the image and started putting it together. I started out with the pic of the girl and the dangly ribbon piece. I didn't know what direction it would take, once I got the word art it seemed to put itself together. I also didn't use any scrap kits on this one, I just used different odds and ends and bits I had. It's not wicked fancy but I think it came out neat. I delivered it to my always list and I'm going to be putting it out for offer, need to do that quick before we leave to go have dinner with my mother in law :)

This tag was made for another challenge in the group I joined a couple days ago. this one was a template challenge, and though I didn't use the word art that was within the template I did use the other pieces. I decided to use a different word art that I just loved with the rest of this tag. I sent this in to the challenge group and have 'whipped up' a batch for my always list and I am about to send out an offer for it to the groups I tag for.
And with that... here is the darn tag already, lol!

Magic Flower

I recently joined a psp challenge group... like two days ago? Anyway very very recently. Anyway the first challenge was to take the given tube and make a tag with it. I wasn't sure on what I'd do with it since it was a flower. What I ended up with is different from my usual style, according to my friend Tripp, but she still likes it. I thought the colors were something that my mom would like so I gave her one too.. then sent it off for my always list once fotki let the batch upload. Of course I'd already sent it into the challenge group before all that.. Anyway here is what I did with this tube we we're given. Different but it's growing on me :)

Woah, hey! I'm back today to share a tag I made this afternoon. This on was made as a mailbox header for my brother to use on a forum. Of course I liked it so I went with a stat, resized it to make a tag, whipped it up for my always list and I'm about to offer it out.. It feels good to finally be getting back into my tagging groove :) I'm excited over the new kit I'm hoping to play with for the gal I CT for. This will be the first kit I get of hers... (waits eagerly!)
Anyway on to the tag!

New tag and some babbling

What do you know, I'm here posting and it hasn't been too long since the last time. I know, I know.. don't faint, lol! Anyway I am here to show off a tag I made.. yeah really! I know it's shocking that I am actually using my blog in the way I intended to, I'm surprising myself too. Anyway on to the tag. This is one I just finished and put out for offer. I made it as a mailbox header for a friend to use on a forum and I liked the way it came out so I made it into a stat and reduced the size a little to make a tag. My always list got this of course!

Stuff..

So yeah... I keep meaning to post things and I think about it and even intend or plan on it and then just never get my lazy butt over here to do it. My poor blog is so neglected, but then again half my life is - I always mean to do things and just don't. like Christmas cards and school pictures. I always mean to send them but never do. It's a bad way to be and I really need to change it.. the only thing is.. how? How to you even begin with something like that? I mean it's tough when you always intend to do something and then don't.. I'm not sure there is a twelve step program for that. Hmm maybe this is the first step, always meaning to come write something here, even if it's lame.. but actually being here now.. it's something right? Maybe.. I have come here before and posted with the intention of making it something I do more often but then I don't get back here for a loooong time. Though I have recently accomplished some pretty amazing things - well amazing in my little life anyway. This could be the start of something new or maybe it's the same old story.. only time will tell I suppose.
