NEW Stuff!

I have been really busy for the past 2 weeks getting ready for school and "doing" school. This year it seems harder to get back into the swing of things...maybe it just means I am finally starting to feel older??? LOL

I do have some new kits that are out now and more are coming out this weekend (the last file is uploading now).

Juliet and the AddOn are now at DigibyDesign (and coming soon to my other stores). The AddOn will be available after this week's Tea for Tuesday Challenge! It is the posting gift.

Find the Juliet kit here:
http://digibydesign.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1967
It's just $4.50

Find all the Tea for Tuesday Challenge details here and learn how to earn the Juliet AddOn for FREE:

I'm really excited about my next kit. It is called Just A Little Dotty because I really like polka dots and since I have not been getting as much sleep as I seem to need, I have been feeling a little "dotty." Some of you may not be old enough to know that dotty can mean silly, mixed-up...or just plain CRAZY! LOL!

This kit and paper pack will be in my stores very soon!

I've really got to get one more cup of coffee before I go in search of something to wear for work.

P.S. - If anyone from Snap-and-Scrap could email me, please...that would be GREAT. I think there is a problem with the site, and I am a little worried.

Have a great day!

ARRRRG! I've been pirated! Chat News & Freebie!

Please excuse the following vent before we get to today's design news...

Well, it had to happen sooner or later...I learned from two very helpful ladies that one of my kits had been listed on 4shared for other folks to download at will. Thanks very much Jen and Sue for letting me know!!!!

I am not going to name names or even say which kit it was, but that 4shared account has been closed by 4shared, and hopefully this person will stop pirating. I also hope that no one else was pirated by this person. I am much calmer now than when I first got this news. Oh my, was I miffed! My visiting family were a little surprised at what thoughts I expressed out loud - LOL.

I want to believe that this person simply did not understand that taking something that has been created by another person and giving it away is wrong. Perhaps this person was not taught that stealing is wrong. Maybe this person does not have a grasp of how time consuming it is to design kits. Maybe this person just does not get it...redistributing someone else's work - EVEN FREEBIES - is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!!

I do not earn my living by doing this (although that would be a great thing), but I do earn some money. This fills a gas tank or two or buys my kids some clothes or shoes. So every kit I don't sell is a bit of something my family doesn't get. And, there are some designers who do have the talent and customer base to earn a living doing this...so remember that the next time you see a download link.

For more information, please see Jen's great blog about piracy:

http://jenjen.typepad.com/stoppiracy/

Please, let the designer know when you see piracy!

Okay...thanks for reading...back to our regularly-scheduled design news...

It's July!!! Freebie, Mega Kit & Grab Bag!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!!!!

Okay, I know...it has been July for a few days - VBG. The first day of the month is always hectic for me because of all the new challenges and mega kits. I have to post the new stuff, give out the posting gifts for the previous challenges, post the links and images for mega kits...well, you get the idea.
So, I am a little late with some stuff...LOL.



Today I thought I would share what is in store for you with the DigibyDesign July Mega Kit - Summer Brights.


You can find it here for just $3.99 for a few more days (then it goes to the full $9.99 price - still a bargain):


This kit is REALLY BIG - over 80 papers, over 190 elements and 3 alphas!

Freebie and Super Saver Saturday June 28th!

I've had this blog for a while now, and I realize that I haven't really done much "blogging" in the sense of writing and sharing. This is a little odd because writing is something that comes fairly naturally to me - I studied it in college and have two English degrees (okay, you can stop laughing now) - but sharing is not really me.

I am not a very social person. In fact, most people have found me to seem "stuck-up" when they first meet me because I don't talk a lot in social situations when I don't know people. I am a lot better now than when I was younger. My mom could not get me away from a book long enough to say hello to visiting family. I am also not good at talking on the phone. I really don't like it - never have - except for the brief periods when I had crushes on boys. I could talk to them for hours...LOL. And, with my friends and most family I will talk...some might think too much.

So, I have made it a personal goal to try to share something every once in a while. I would like to once a week, but I know that won't happen - LOL - life is too busy. But, at least you will know I am trying.

Here is today's tale...
Every morning one of my children - I am not saying which one - gets up before everyone else. This child prepares breakfast at exactly 6 AM every day because that is the earliest house rules will allow it (due to the noise creating breakfast usually makes). I am usually up about 5:30. Today was no different. I hear this crashing and clanking coming from the kitchen - more than the usual noise level...I go to investigate (mind you, this is BEFORE coffee).
I ask, "What is all that noise?"
The child looks at me and says, "I was putting the dishes away."
Now, normally this would be a cause for rejoicing in any household...a kid actually helping out without being asked. But, no, not in my house, and NOT this morning because as is typical - when my kids help out on a volunteer basis, it usually means they are doing it horribly wrong.
Don't get me wrong. I love them all, but I'm not sure how my skull hasn't exploded yet.

So, I look at the child - take away the coffee mug about to go onto the shelf - and say, "But, these dishes aren't clean. The dishwasher did not run. Can't you tell they aren't clean?!?!??" Apparently those really expensive glasses do not give one the ability to see dried mac-n-cheese or coffee stains on ordinary household items. Sigh.
So, as I listen to the hum of my dishwasher, I present to you my great deals for Super Saver Saturday today at DigibyDesign!

It is my Alisa Collection - all of it is on sale for 50% OFF today ONLY - June 28th!

I've created a matching freebie for you. Here's a cute sticker alphas and some flowers and flower clips.
This freebie has been retired.
Talk to you soon!

Super Saver Saturday Freebie!

You should know what Saturday means by now!
More great kits for 50% off at DigibyDesign! This Saturday, June 21st, I have 2 awesome masculine kits on sale for you for $3.25 and $3.00! These are just what you need for all of those Father's Day layouts you are still working on and wonderful for all of your graduating gentlemen. The images are linked to the kits in the store, so just click 'em to get more details.

First we have Luke - a blend of blue, tan and grey with heaps of manly elements:

The second 50% off kit is Matthew...a grungy mix of green and brown...look at all that cool metal!

And, I also have a freebie for you! Here is a little quick page I made from the Matthew kit and the AddOn kit. I have a 12x12 and an 8x8-inch page in the file...sorry if you scrap rectangles (you might be able to resize it). I'll try to make some of those soon.

This freebie has been retired.

PSSSSSST - Because of the sale you can actually get both the Matthew kit and the Luke kit for the price of just 1 of the kits - so it's like buying Matthew at full price and getting Luke for free (or vice versa))...well, almost...to buy both on sale is $6.25...the regular price of Luke is $6.50 and Matthew is $6.00. You get the idea, though!
