Great Layouts from my CT

Well I thought I would show off what my CT has been up to over the past couple of weeks.

These first two layouts are done using my kit 'Winter's Warmth' and they are made by Amberpony and Bekah, respectively.

I just love this kit with it's warm tones and deep colours. The flowers and the fireplace all add to the cosyness of this wonderful kit.
This next lovely layout is done using my kit 'Spring Meadows' and it has been created by Jessicasma (Donna). I really like all these little stickers and flowers in this kit, add to that touches of black and the lovely floral papers and it's just the perfect kit for spring time.

Now this next wonderful layout has been done by my CT member 'Berny'. She has used my new kit 'Granduer' for this layout and as you can see it works wonderfully well for a more casual layout. It would also be perfect for Graduations, weddings, dinners and the like.
Now here we have two layouts done using my kit 'Autumn Joy. The first layout has been done by Amberpony again, she has a huge love of nature, animals and the outdoors as you will see from most of her layouts.

The second layout is once again from Berny, how cute are these 'lil pumpkins' on this page, love the way she used the glitter border here and that little cluster of flowers in the corner there.

And now last but by no means least we have two more layouts, the first being created by Bekah using my Winter's Warmth kit, how beautiful does this look. Love the wonderful photo in that lovely frame and the use of the borders along the middle just adds the right touch.

Now we have the lovely Jessicasma (Donna) using my new kit 'Granduer' with maximum impact. How lovely does this look, love all those flowers with the candles tucked in there, just beautiful.

Thank you so much ladies, I really do appreciate your wonderful layouts and all the work you do for me spreading the word.

Just Me

Hi there ... well this is just a post about me, I know, it's usually advertising or freebies but not this time, lol. Today was a very special day for me, my beautiful daughter Cassie finally had her braces removed, after three whole years. Well yes there were tears and laughter and lots of hugs all around, what a beautiful joyous day this was. I'm so pround of her for bravely going through so much over the years that I probably couldn't do myself, 10 extractions (2 surgically) and many many appointments, tears, trapped gums, tormented school days later, it's done!!!

I know there are so many mum's out there who have gone through this and will go through this process of 'beautifying' one's teeth ... is it worth it, well I'll do some layouts and let them speak for themselves.... thanks for reading :) Stay tuned :)

FREEBIE QUICKPAGE

HERE'S a nice little surprise for you (had to fix this download, all 80 peeps that got this download with 6 freebie papers, don't forget to come back a buy my kit now will you, LOL), a 12x12 Quickpage made using my NEW kit 'GRANDUER' which is available now in both of my Stores for only $4.00, it consists of 12 gorgeous papers and 35 co-ordinating elements, great value.

This Quickpage was made using a wonderful Calander Template by April Dawn Creations for the 'Ten Weeks Before Christmas' Challenge, over at Kjoi Studios, it's free if you take part in the Challenge and it's very easy to use. Go over there and take a look, she's going to be doing some great Challenges to help get us all ready for Christmas. While you're over there you should check out all the wonderful new kits the Designers have been putting in the Store, some of these Designers are new, just like me.

Don't forget I've got the SAS Blog Hop coming up on the 31st for Halloween, that one should be full of plenty of goodies for you, I'll get an Ad up real soon for that.

AWARDS - SO MANY AWARDS!!!

Hi there everyone, well this is a catch up post because over the past few weeks I’ve been given three different Awards by five different people and it’s not that I didn’t want to accept them but just that I’ve been very busy (as I’m sure we all are) and I also wanted to wait until all of the competitions were over before passing them on to some very special people.

First up I received this 'Gold Star Blog Award' from two very lovely ladies, both Nani and Vania awarded this to me, I am to pass it along to 3 different people and let them know they have received it, thank you very much ladies, I would like to nominate

Lizard Dau Designs
Ambowife
KatLen Kreations

Secondly I received this 'I Love Your Blog' Award from both Sooze and Piggyscraps who were both in the SAS Designer Competition with me which I will also be passing along to:

Lori Imel
April Dawn Creations
Amberbaz

And lastly but by no means least I received this Award from the lovely Monika. This award is called the "ProximidadeAward" or "Friendship Around TheWorld Award". Originally this award was written in spanish, but it translates to highlight blogs that are pleasing or special in some way, and also to extend the hand of friendship around the world. I am to pass this on to 8 different people, I will try my best as I don't think I know that many, LOL.

Belanna at Odds
Panda Bear Designs
Schappy's Scrap Design
CanDesigns
Brenda of Millstream Cottage
JessicasSweetNothings
Bekah

Well I think that's about all I can come up with right now. Thank you so much for these lovely Awards ladies, I really do appreciate them all :)

FREEBIES GALORE - KJOI BLOG HOP AND PARTY

Hello all, my name is mITSYBELLE and I was Contestant No. 22596D, Lil Monkey aka Monkey Chaser, LOL.

Well it's finally arrived, K-joi's First Birthday, Happy Birthday K-joi! Some of the Contestants from the Designer Competition have put on a Blog Hop for you to say THANKYOU VERY MUCH for all your support throughout the contest.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank KARA JONES, the owner of K-joi for making this experience so very enjoyable. She kept us all going through site breakdowns, sickness, stress and much more and taught us all some wonderful lessons in design, friendship and patience. THANK YOU KARA and K-joi Helpers.

As you know, each one of us had a specific item to produce each week, elements, paper, alpha/wordart and other and each week we were given a colour swatch (not always very nice) and a theme to abide by, we were also ANONYMOUS throughout the competition. These are the four kits that I made which are still available for download from K-JOI.

Week 1 - Other - Heritage/Altered

Week 2 - Elements - Fantasy

Week 3 - Papers - Plain & Simple

Week 4 - Alpha/Wordart - Own Choice, all with a minimum CU.
And now I have some FREEBIES for you. These freebies are made up of the pieces that I could not include in my Weekly Entries and because of the colour schemes involved here, this I feel is the best thing to do with them. So please enjoy them and all the other Blog Hop Freebies you pick up, the preview is further down.

TREASURED TIMES,

FANTASY FAIRIES,

SIMPLE PLEASURES (fixed) and

MASQUERADE PART 1 and 2

One more thing before I lose you, A lovely lady called Brenda of Millstream Cottage is raising money to supply Navy personnel stationed at Bahrain in the Persian Gulf with gift boxes for Christmas and she has a kit for sale on her blog, 75% of the money from the kits will be going towards this worthwhile charity, please take the time to pop on over and have a look and perhaps purchase this lovely kit, thankyou, you can find her HERE

FREEBIE QUICKPAGE and Upcoming Events

This is a lovely FREEBIE Quickpage for you that I've made using my new kit 'Summertime Fun' which is now also available in my Store

Now I've done all the seasons. I felt that I should do them first up because we are all in different parts of the world.

A couple of events coming up very soon, on Wednesday 13th October there will be a BLOG CAST PARTY (blog hop) involving quite a few contestants from the SAS Designer Competition who will be giving away lots of freebies, I will post the links on the day.

Then there will be a BLOG HOP for the Kjoi Designer Competition which will involve some of the competitors giving away add-ons from the kits they made throughout the comp and also revealing their identities, more on this closer to the day which I think will be 17th October, and then lastly...

On 30th October there will be a SAS BLOG PARTY for the SAS Designers for Halloween giving away yet more freebiew so there's lots to look forward to over the next couple of weeks.

Still with me? Don't forget the SAS Newsletter will be out again on Wednesday and it's always full of great information and lots of FREEBIES too, never a better time to digiscrap than when the economy turns down, it's cheaper than paper scrapping and you get to meet the nicest people.

Take care :)

THANK YOU

I would just like to say thank you for all your wonderful comments and well wishes that you sent.

I had a lovely day at the beach with four of my five children and felt sooooooo relaxed after the intense work of the competition, lol.

Here's a couple of snapshots of my kids at the beach.

I've been busy working on new kits, because quite frankly, I didn't think I would win so I have nothing to put into a store, lol, how's that for being prepared, lol.

Now you must excuse me if I'm absent for a few days because I need to do some kits and freebies up for you, once again, THANKYOU :)

WOOOO HOOOOOO - I'M A DESIGNER

Just in case you're interested I AM NOW A SASSY LADY, yes that's right, I was one of the top three in the SAS Designer Competition, wow, I'm almost speechless.

Thank you so much to all of those that supported and encouraged me throughout these past four weeks of competition, they have really been a learning experience for me and obviously helped me to grow as and become a Designer.

Today I'm taking off..... my children have been on school holidays for two weeks and haven't done anything exciting (except watch me in this competition, lol) so I'm taking them out for the day.

Thank you once again for your support :)

VOTING ENDS THURS. OCT 2ND, (USA) AT 12.00NOON and FRI. OCT 3RD (AUS) AT 3.00AM

This has been a great experience for me, I've learnt many new things and met many lovely ladies along the way. I certainly don't expect to be amongst the top three (but I haven't given up hope, lol) in this competition and I am thrilled that I have done so well with so little experience up my sleeve. I do however, expect to continue on my road to Designerdom.

Thank you everybody for your encouragement and compliments on my work, I really do appreciate it.
