If you head over to GDS this weekend, the entire store is 50% off! Hoo's My Boy is an absolute STEAL right now. And while you're there, cruise around the forum a bit -- there's a scavenger hunt going on, and you can snag a BUNCH of great freebies, including an AWESOME alpha from me! This is my favorite alpha ever, so be sure to hunt it down! (Hint: Have you checked out my Progressive Layout Challenge yet?) I'm going to cheat and show you what it looks like:

New Release, BIG NEWS, and a BLOG PARTY!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!!

Guess what?? ..No, you don't have to guess, I'll tell you! I am opening a NEW store over at goDigitalScrapbooking.com! And why, you ask? That's the second piece of big news!! (Edited to add: My store at GDS is still empty, but please check back later! I understand new things will be added throughout the day.)

Since I began scrapping, I've been scrapping, designing, and bouncing ideas around with Val, aka geniaBeana. When we opened stores (around the same time), we joined each others' CTs. But we weren't able to get in at the same store at that point. Recently the opportunity presented itself to join GDS, and hence to be able to collab together in the same store, and we jumped at the chance! This week both of us are opening at GDS, and everything in both stores is 35% off! That includes this marvelous new kit, created purely for the celebration, Girls' Night Out!

Here's what our awesome CT has done with GNO -- click the small previews to see a larger version in a new window:



And Val has created this awesome kit using complimentary colors -- It's A Party!

Here's my LO with It's a Party -- available below in QP form! You can find Val's store here (but again, not much is up yet -- keep checking!)


But that's not all -- since Val and I both come from the same original forum (BAM - remember those blog trains a while back?), we had a lot of ladies we both knew, that were on both of our CTs. So we decided, when we moved, that we would also merge our CTs! We now have one, combined CT. Together, Val and I are KgB Scrap Kreations -- and our CT gals are The KgB. You'll see them around the digiworld, posting RAK threads for us, advertising this blog train, and otherwise fulfilling their secret spy missions for us. ;) (Pun note: the KGB is like the Russion version of the CIA or MI:6, so when we decided to call our CT the KgB, they wanted to be spies! *lol*)

SO! Today, we have a whole BLOG PARTY of freebies for you! The KgB has come together with both of our new kits to create freebies for you! There are quickpages, wordart, and even a free alpha! Speaking of which...

Girls' Night Out Alpha
**this freebie will be available as long as my Grand Opening sale continues -- until September 7th! grab it while you can!**
This alpha is made of glass, black glitter, and deliciously shiny chrome. It's made with the font Cafe Rojo, by Kevin and Amanda, and includes a full alphabet (upper/lower mixed, as per the font), numbers 0-9, and some common punctuation. It coordinates perfectly with both Girls' Night Out by me and It's A Party by geniaBeana. :) If you miss the download, it is also packaged together with GNO and will be released separately in the shop as well.

Link expired -- check out my store!


I've also created a quickpage for you, using "It's A Party" and Val's awesome coordinating plastic styles!

From here, you'll want to head on over to Val's blog to get the blog train rolling! Don't forget to leave some love for our CT gals, some of them are first-timers at this blogtrain stuff!
(Keep in mind we are all on different timezones, so if anyone's post isn't up yet, be sure to check back later.)

So check these out...

I've got two awesome kits to show off for you today. The first one just came out yesterday in Christie Lemmon's shop. It's called Brighter Days. Isn't it adorable? Click on the image to visit her shop and check it out in detail!


Here are the two layouts I've done with it:



It's such a fun and colorful kit! Lots of fun to work with. ^_^

Next up I have something from my brand-new CT job for Madame Wing! This is a minikit she made for DigiscrapAddicts' "So You Think You Can Design" contest, Week 3. The challenge was to do a Beatles-song-based kit, so this one is called "Eight Days A Week." I love the soft colors and the doodly elements. Click on the preview to go download it for FREE! (You will need to be registered with DSA, but it's MORE than worth it -- there are already hundreds of minis entered in this contest!)


And here are my layouts!

Yayyyy, it's official!!

Well, okay, it's been official for a couple of days now, but I wasn't sure if I needed to wait for an announcement or something. But Rachel says it's okay for me to post, soooooo....

I'm on the Creative Team for Steel City Scraps and Christie Lemmon Designs! I'm a LemmonCity girl! *happydance* I'm so so super excited!! The best part is, since I've been a fan for a while, I already have some older layouts I can use for my CT requirements.

But first I want to share this AWESOME new collab kit of theirs. It's called Sunshine Day and it is so bright and cheery! I love playing with it. You can snag it in the latest issue of The Daily Scrapper, on the Free Kits Page.

Looks like the first half is already expired (hopefully you've been freebie-tracking and got it already!) but the second half is now available! Get it free while you can! You can snag more LemmonCity stuff at Digital Candy here and here for TODAY ONLY, before that site closes its doors forever! Then, on the 23rd of this month, you'll find their new shops at Inspiration Lane.

Whew! Moving on, here are my first CT layouts for LemmonCity! Using Sunshine Day:
(this one is a redo of one of my DC Red Carpet LOs that I wasn't satisfied with)


(this one was done for a speed scrap I hosted at BAM)


I used Happy Days by Steel City Scraps for this one:


And Mud Puddles by Christie Lemmon for this one:


I used their "In Dreams" collab for this one:


Then, I got started on Richie's baby book (only 4 years late!) using "A Breath of Fresh Air" by Steel City Scraps:




It's so exciting! I am thrilled to be joining their CT. They are the sweetest and most laid-back designers to CT for!

...Meanwhile, I've also done a couple of other layouts, not related to my CT. :)

I made this one for my sister. It's going to be printed in an 11"x8.5" photobook.

This one, I did for a template challenge over at ScrapMatters. I didn't realize until I posted it in the gallery that I used a kit made by the same person who made the template! *lol*

This was for multiple challenges at different forums, but also an excuse to try out a new kit I bought, "Totally Buggin."

That's all I'll flood you with for now. ;) I'm hoping to put up a freebie later today though, so check back!
