James loves Big and Small videos

We could have sat at the computer playing this Big & Small clip over and over. The more James laughed, the more I laughed, then James laughed harder....it was a great time.

BIG NEWS coming soon!

I'm so happy to have my daughter, Kirsten, and my two grandsons, Owen and James, visiting this past week. I'm happily tired trying to be of assistance with the boys, but it seems they are very attached to their Mommy. Poor James has been a bit under the weather but is now getting better. They return to England on Friday.

The BIG NEWS I posted in the title of this post will be revealed on Monday, November 1st, so be sure to stop by then.

I'm too tired to scrap just now, but do have some great pics of the kids and will get going as soon as I've had some sleep.

See you Monday!!

$1 & $2 Pixel Sale at Gotta Pixel

It's Tuesday, again, and that means great sales at the store.

Crisdam Designs has several items on sale today. Spoonful, Monsters In Space and Text Paths, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2.

Here is my first layout using Spoonful. It can be yours for just $2.00.

Next up is Monsters In Space and it's also $2.00.

There's nothing like a SALE!

Tuesday's at Gotta Pixel are very special days. That's when so many designers put selected kits on SALE for only $1 or $2, so that you can build your stash economically. Isabel Mendez of Crisdam Designs will be offering sales on a couple of kits. My first layout uses the kit, Merry & Bright .  You can pick it up on Tuesday, Oct 19th,  for a song.

See the words to Jingle Bells around the perimeter of the layout? Well, that was created using Text Paths Vol. 1 and it will be on sale on October 26th, along with some others.

The other kit that will be on sale is, All About Me. Here's my layout for that one.

The following week, October 26th, you will be able to get Monsters In Space for only $2.00. Here's my layout using that kit.

I'm letting you know well ahead of time because I'm going to be busy entertaining my daughter and grandchildren who arrive from the UK this coming Friday! I'm so excited and may not be posting much for a week or two and I don't want you to miss those sales. So mark your calendars and "shop till you drop"!!

YAY! Crisdam Design Layouts revealed

Here are three very different pages I have created with Whispering Autumn, the newest release from Crisdam Designs.

These photos above were taken by my daughter, Tiffany. Personally, I think that if she ever wanted to change careers she could be a photographer, but then I am somewhat biased!

These photos were taken by Kelly, my DIL's sister, during their recent vacation to Manitoulin Island.

Another picture taken by Tiffany.

Here's Jackson contemplating the leaves on the ground, or a least I hope that's what he's doing. With Jack, you just never know! A little boy with his back turned, head down......

So there you have it, three layouts, three very different presentations of Whispering Autumn. Go get it for yourself and have as much fun as I am having!

Gotta Grab It! Sneak Peek

Being on the CT for Crisdam Designs is fabulous. I get to tease you all with a sneak peek at the fantastic new packs being released by Isabel this weekend. Gotta Grab It! is a monthly happening at Gotta Pixel. Designers are given a colour pallette to work with so that all the packs can go together. But, the absolute best thing about GGI is that fact that all packs in this category are $1.00 ONLY! That's a deal that you can't beat anywhere else in digi-world. So, starting Saturday, Oct 9th and continuing until Tuesday, Oct 12th, visit the Gotta Pixel store and load up your cart.

In the meantime, here's a little sneak peek from Crisdam Designs.

New Release by Sweet Digi Scraps ~~ Autumn Medley

Liz is in the Gotta Pixel designer spotlight this month and kicks off with this beautiful kit, Autumn Medley. In addition, you can pick up the Autumn's Medley Alpha by Danyale at the special price for $2.00 Tuesday.

Here's one of my layouts using this fantastic kit.

Seriously! No Fishing?

Looks like Ryan is quite the sportsman. He caught this fish with his bare hands, or so I'm told. I believe it, but thousands wouldn't. The fish was unharmed and released after the photo shoot!

I used the kit, Fisherman's Dream, by Laura Burger.

Have you heard the good news?

Crisdam Designs had a CT call recently and I applied never thinking I had a chance. Well my goodness, I have been chosen to be a part of this great team. You can find Crisdam Designs, a.k.a. Isabel Mendez, at two places: Gotta Pixel and A Cherry On Top. A huge thank you to Isabel and the CT leads, Cynthia and Trista, for having faith in me.

Here are my first two layouts.

What A Pear The Kit

Boo! The Kit

I'm just so excited to be a part of this great team and, every time there is a new release of Crisdam Designs product, you will be able to see it here.
