CARD KIT!

So obviously, I am a little behind! I *finally* have one Card Kit ready to go - that is it for now, but I have another Card Kit and some layouts in the works ..... I had a couple of unexpected, quick deadlines and one more to finish up, then I am back to work designing these kits!

The October Card Kit comes with everything you need to complete 4 adorable seasonal cards! Just like my layout kits, everything is cut out for you! See one of the cards below, and to view the other three, click on the Card Kit tab to the left. The cost of the kit is $12.00, and shipping is free!

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful Fall weather! We are!

I won!

What a wonderful way to start out the week - I won the Cricut Challenge at 2 Peas! I was so excited, it has been ages since I have posted anything! I won a new Cricut cartridge and a digital die cut kit of my choice. Yippee! I can't wait to work on some new creations!

Hope you all are enjoying the day, it is absolutely beautiful outside!

Lovin' my Cricut....

Hi. My name is Dana DeCarlo, and I am addicted to  www.twopeasinabucket.com. I am on there at least once a day soaking up inspiration from so many fabulous projects shared. They are having a Cricut contest, and I posted a couple of my favorite layouts. Some of you may remember these!

 

Be sure to check out the latest Cricut Promotion, The Great Gypsy Escape! Purchase one of 4 new Cricut catridges for a chance to win a new Gyspy (handheld design studio for Cricut), $2,000 travel vouchers and even a $30,000 trip to one of 5 fabulous locations! 

Oh, I have to have a Gypsy. I dream of creating pieces for layouts while watching a movie, waiting for the kids to come to the car after school, while the kids are playing at the park.... sigh. It sounds awesome! I use my Cricut on almost every layout that I create.... seriously, I don't know how I lived without it for so long!

Hope to see you!

Wow!

It is so hard to believe that the summer is nearly over! I don't know where the time has gone! There is so much to pack into the last three weeks!

As I am sure you have noticed, my blog has been sorely neglected this summer season! I have added two new kits today (note the left sidebar) and removed a few that are sold out.

Sorry this is so short, Typepad is not working well with me tonight, and just this little bit has taken me forevah! I will try and post more tomorrow - I have a few CHA Sneak Peeks to share! :)

HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY!

I can't believe that it is May already!  I don't know where the time goes.... well, maybe I do. Changing diapers, wiping noses, breaking up fights, getting drinks, changing cartoons, breaking up fights again, hunting for bugs, playing in the rain, going to the park, breaking up fights (do you see a trend here?!!) and so on. And let's try and fit in cleaning the house, designing pages, and trying to sit down with my husband and watch a tv show or movie. Ugh!

I have added *FOUR* new kits today! They are all listed in the left-hand column, and if you click on the photo, it will show you all the layouts in each kit - except for the ALL GIRL kit, which I hope to have finished tomorrow!

And, since tomorrow is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY, I would like to offer some special prices on kits! Every kit has been reduced, with prices good through May 8th only!

Monthly Class Kits (3) 2-pg layouts - Regular Price $20.00 - Sale Price $15.00

For every 200 points that you earn, you receive a FREE $20.00 kit of your choice! Through May 8th, if you purchase THREE kits, you will receive 10 additional points!

The May Class will be kits only - my step-daughter graduates high school that Friday (gasp!) and her party is on Sunday. However, I will be at the crop on Saturday (0nly) and will have the kits available then. Of course, if you are cropping and you want to work on your kits, I will be happy to help you! If you would like to purchase a kit and can not come to pick it up - that is okay, too - we can make arrangements for delivery - unless you are too far, then please choose the KIT w/SHIPPING option! :) 

Sorry this is so long - I guess I should post more often! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! I hope you all enjoy and celebrate National Scrapbook Day! I am scrapping with some good friends, and I haven't started packing a thing!

And the winner is....

MICHELLE GRABLE! I will be contacting you to get your mailing info!

I took some cute pics of my little name-drawing helpers, Addie & Charlie, but I couldn't get them to download. Ugh.

Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment, I truly appreciate each and every one of them! To quickly answer a couple of questions - yes, I plan on adding some Card and Recipe kits, and some more "detailed" pages. I also had a couple of requests for a "field day" page. I need one of those too, I took hundreds of pics last year alone! I will add one to the May kit, and for those of you who do not need a "field" day" page, I will also add an alternate title that can easily be swapped out. Sound good?

Just a reminder, the April Made in Minutes is quickly approaching!It is on April 19th from 1-3 pm at the Holiday Inn Express at the Legends. You can still sign up by clicking on the "Add to Cart" button to the left, or email me if you would like to pay by cash or check. I hope you come play with me!

 

I have a long list of to-do's today, so I have to take advantage of Charlie's naptime! Hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Well, I didn't get my newsletter out as soon as I had planned - technical difficulties, user difficulties,  and a deadline for EK Success Brands slowed me down a bit!

Please see my earlier post for a quick "tour" here and to find out how to win a free April Made in Minutes Page Kit! Since this is late getting out, I will extend the deadline for comments until April 8th! Good luck!

Have you seen Monsters vs. Aliens yet? We all went this afternoon - even Charlie! It was his very first movie at the theater - of course, I had my camera and was embarrassing my 18 and 10 year-old daughters! He was such a big boy, and was so good! We love to go to the movies, and I was so excited to have him with us, but it makes me so sad, too! My baby is growing up!
