Happy Thanksgiving

Do you want to see what I’ve finished since yesterday?  I’m getting closer to finishing the layouts my cat destroyed but it’s been slow going as I struggled with the choice to start from scratch or try to recreate the original layouts.  In most cases, I chose to try to recreate the pages because I [...] Filed under Freebies, I Scrapped!, Stuff and Rants | Comments (16)

The Weight of the World

You would think I’d fallen off the face of the planet as little as I’ve been around the internet lately but the truth is just that I’ve been a bit burnt out.  I’ve hit a huge stumbling block with my store - don’t ask, it’s just too depressing - and I’ve been worrying over potential [...] Filed under Creative Team, Freebies, I Scrapped!, Stuff and Rants | Comments (7)

Seeing Red

You may have noticed a few changes in the blog.  I’m tired of the color scheme and even the general layout of the thing, so I’m doing my bit to tweak the template.  It’s by no means finished and you can probably expect a certain amorphous quality to this site over the next several weeks.  [...] Filed under Freebies, Stuff and Rants | Comments (38)

We Have a Winner!

I know I said I’d choose a winner Wednesday night but with my daughter in the hospital, my husband off for a weekend with friends, my teenager away on her school trip and my 6-year-old clinging to me because no one else is around, I haven’t had a free minute that I didn’t just want [...] Filed under Contest, Freebies, Stuff and Rants | Comments (10)

What’s In A Name?

I’ve got a big surprise for you today. I’ve been paying attention to your comments and some of you have told me that you can’t use PSD or even layered TIF files, so I found a script that helps me separate all the template layers into individual PNG files.  And now, for every template that doesn’t [...] Filed under Freebies | Comments (30)
