Check it out!

Sally from my Creative Team is giving away an advance copy of my new kit: The Tooth Fairy over at DigiScrapAddicts- want to win it before you can buy it? Head on over there!

You oh-so-loyal Geek Fans will also be tickled to know that my Collab with Jennifer Fox "Geek Chic" got props for New Release Highlights over at The Simple Scrapper!

So our little plot is working ;) People are finding The Geek and loving The Geek- keep up the great work my evil minions! Bwahahaha! ;)

I scrapped! Wow!

Sometimes I DO find the time- just but rarely it seems! :) I took a quick break from designing this morning and spent some time scrapping with Allison Pennington's new Kiss Kiss.

It's Friday I'm in (Blog) love

Happy Friday everyone!

Let the blog lovin commence!

The How To Gal-
I just discovered this blog this week thanks to my dear Amy (Polkadot Plum Amy, just to keep all the Amys in my life straight!) The How-to Gal is full of tutorials and crafts, lots of really original fun things to try out. And since I'm a HUGE craft junkie, I love it- I also love all the fun quirky ideas she has- if you like to craft, check her out!


Cake Wrecks-
Ohhh the hours I could waste on this blog- the pictures are hilarious, and the captions are usually funnier. I could tell you about it, but really- you should go look for yourself, this is a totally visual experience!


The Farm Chicks-
The author of this blog spent the first years of her childhood "in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico." and now she's a contributing editor for Country Living magazine- this blog is full of neat stories, great organizational tips, and lots of other really fun and entertaining stuff.


Hope you all have a lovely Friday!!

Thursday Theory

A few years ago when I first ventured into DigiScrapping- if you had told me that I'd meet some of the most amazing, creative, fun, sweet, and wacky people I'd ever met in my life, I might have laughed at you.

If you had told me I'd be designing some of the fun things I was scrapping with, I'd have laughed even harder- perhaps shot milk out of my nose. (attractive, no?)

Here I am, sitting at the beginning of my design career, full of all these lovely possibilities- and sometimes, just sometimes- I feel like the world just might be my oyster. I still can't believe that I'm here, in this amazing store, surrounded by this fabulous Creative Team, and by all you wonderful Geek Fans. I'm just feeling thankful, and slightly amazed tonight at where I've landed. I can't help but wonder where I'm going... but I do know I'm glad that all you wonderful wacky people are along for the ride with me.

Life is full of crazy impossibilities, and all we can do is sit back and hold on tight! That's my Thursday Theory anyway....

Foxy Chic- new collab with Jennifer Fox!

Fresh and new today- a collab with Jennifer Fox and Geek Chic Scraps- Foxy Chic!

A fun, bright, and sassy kit absolutely CHOCK full of goodies! 20% off today only!



Also- I decided to share some of my personal scrap stash with you loyal Geek Fans- Just Say It- Volume 1. All these were inspired by my daughter, but it's pretty versatile as you can see from the layouts my fabulous CT put together!




Oh and a great big warm Geek Welcome to the newest members of my Geek Squad!
Leila
Sara
and
Sally!!
Glad to have you join the madness that is my CT ladies! I think we're going to have LOTS of fun!

Your Daily Dose of Cute + Geek Peeks!

I wasn't feeling well all week, but yesterday I finally started to feel okay again- so we bundled up and took Kat outside to go play in the snow. This mostly consisted of me sitting on our porch watching Tim pull Kat around in the sled- but we had a ball! I had to share this picture, as so few of our family pictures actually have me in them at all. Plus I think Kat looks so adorable in her little snowsuit. Cutest Marshmallow Monkey Ever!

And as promised, here are your Geek Peeks for tomorrow's releases!
Don't forget, new release day at PDP is 20% off! Be sure to stop in tomorrow to see what goodies I've got for you!

Blog Love...

Really, I've spent so much time designing and scrapping and living in Digi-Scraplandia that my actual personal blog that my family and friends from back home used to read has gone completely stagnant. That's how much I love you all ;) Also, how addicted I am to Photoshop...

So you're going to start seeing more actual blogging from me (crazy, right?) but I promise to keep the lovely design goodness coming! (and freebie goodness for all you freebie stalkers- you know who you are! *giggle* and I used to be one of you, so it's okay- I won't judge you)

I not only really LOVE blogging, I love reading other people's blogs. That little window into someone else's quirkyness always makes me feel less alone in my own random nerdy strangeness.

So here are a few blogs I've discovered that I'm totally digging right now:

How 2 Stay Fat-
I seriously just found this blog thanks to Laura, and I'm LOVING it.... I've really had enough of all those diet blogs, and the exercise junkies, and all those dang healthy people- give me someone with MY attitude towards food- and then let them pack the blog with yummy recipes, a wry sense of humor, and lots of pictures... and you've got How 2 Stay Fat.

Thin girls, it's not that I hate you (I have lots of thin friends, I swear!), I'm just really tired of hearing how you're like jogging 5 miles while I sit here and eat cookies. I do truly think I have the better end of the deal- my wiggle may have a little jiggle in it- but I'm curled up in my pajamas warm inside eating cookies... while you're outside in the slush and cold running... RUNNING *shakes her head* (running is reserved only for being chased by something large and scary, or perhaps chasing down kilted menfolks IMHO)

The Design Girl Blog-
Danielle is not only a dear friend of mine, and a fellow designer at PDP- she's also a very entertaining blogger. Her candid opinions and confesssions, her sense of humor, and her style of blogging are usually good for a giggle. Her blog never fails to entertain me, and I'd read it even if I weren't her friend- so true. She also does LOTS of fabulous giveaways from Etsy-esque folks (which makes her even MORE fun) so she's definitely worth following and checking out! Now just to convince her that this geek needs a blog makeover... lol

The Simple Scrapper-
Everytime a new goodie pops up on the Simple Scrapper blog I scuttle on over to read it- and it's always worth my time! I love her Friday Finds- as well as all the great little tidbits on how to get organized and just to see what else is happening in Digi-Scraplandia! For you Freebie Stalkers- you'll want to follow this- some great giveaways and freebie templates on her site!

More blogging (and maybe more blogs to share) at a later point in time when I'm not sick- for now I'm going to go snatch a little nap while the Wee Monkey Girl sleeps!

Little Man

Also, for those of you who like your felt a la carte- the alpha is also sold separately:

I also have 3 different sets of commercial use styles for your designing and scrapping pleasure:




And for those of you who want it all, you want it now, and you want it Soopa Sized- here's the Little Man Soopa Bundle for you- a 12.50 value for just 10 bucks! That's like getting a full commercial use set for FREE! (and we all like free right?) The Soopa Bundle includes the Full Kit and Alpha, plus all 3 commercial use style sets.


And just for checking me out, I have a little freebie for you, my loyal Geek Fans- a set of 10 worn papers to coordinate with 'Little Man'- Enjoy!

**This Freebie Link has now Expired! Be sure to check back again soon for more freebies!**



All these goodies (except the bundle) are also available at my GingerScraps store as well!

Feature Day Festivities

Hello my loyal and fantastic Geek Fans!

Today is my feature day over at the GingerScraps Party- and do I ever have some goodies for you!

I'll be running a game of Geek Bingo today starting at 2pm EST- what is Geek Bingo you ask?

Geek Bingo- how to play

1. Grab this card (you can just right click and 'Save As'

2. Once you've opened up the card in the editing software of your choice, you need to fill it in with some of the following words (remember, you get one free space under the flower!)

And yes, I'm going to make you scrap for this ;)

1. Geek
2. Woot
3. Scrap
4. Amazing
5. Unique
6. Quirky
7. Fun
8. Nerdtastic
9. Noob
10. Weird

3. Once you've completed your card- save a copy, then PM me a shot of your card with the words clear so I can double check when BINGO is called. You MUST have your card in before the first word is called- I will start calling BINGO words at 2:10pm EST and keep calling words every 10 minutes until we get our BINGO.

4. You must get a line (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) to get BINGO- the FIRST person to call BINGO will be declared the winner once I take a peek at the card you sent me. So not only do you have to win, but you have to be fast ;)

Once we're done, I'll PM each player a little goodie from me just for playing along!
