SYTYCD Week2

Well by now most of you already know that I did not make it into round two (judging by the amount of emails I've received, lol, thankyou all so much) and I just want you all to know that I'm fine with that. When we started this competition we were urged to use the experience as an opportunity to get our names out there to people who may have never heard of our Designs and this is exactly what I did, judging by the number of downloads I got I'm confident that I did just that.

Not everyone can move onto the next round and next week it will be even harder for those left behind, but it in no way means they are not good Designers it just means they are not what the Judges are looking for (rememeber there are only about 4 or 5 people deciding the fate of the Designers), goodness me, I was thankful to make in in the competition at all with the amazing number of Designers that applied in the first place.

I would like to take this opportunity to THANK everyone who did download my kit and leave a lovely comment, I really do appreciate each and every one of the comments left. So chin up ladies, It's not the end of the world, it just means I've got more time to Design this month, LOL.

And before I go, Charlie from Charlie's Digiscraps is still in the comp so please go over to Digiscrap Addicts and leave her lots of love when her kit goes up this week as I'd love to see her beat the pants off some of those 'well known Designers' ... hee hee hee HA HA HA (evil laugh)

Freebie - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Wow, what a glorious Day I've had today, it started quite early, about 4.30am because I have a 3 year old that wakes with the birds, lol. I don't mind though, when it got to 7.30 I crawled into bed again and the kids 'woke' me with gifts and breakfast in bed, lovely. We then spent the morning in the garden, weeding chatting and tidying up in general and what a gorgeous day it is for it too, beautiful late Autum weather, I love it. While we were all enjoying lunch (vegetarian sushi) I looked up at the sky and just had to take a photo, how lovely it looked so I'll share it with you here, plus a pic of Jnr playing in the garden.

And there are now considerably less daisies on these bushes because Jnr has been giving me little flowers all day ...... how cute is that :)

As a little gift on this very special day I've got this free page kit for you, enjoy :)
Comments on my blog are always appreciated

Links have now been removed, thankyou

Freebie Mini Kit for You - SYTYCD Week 1

Yes you read correctly, I made it through to the first round of 'So You Think You Can Design' over at Digiscrap Addicts and I'm actually feeling quite ill with nerves, there are soooooo many big names in the Competition that I'm amazed I'm even in it. Lucky you get to have a free mini kit each week I'm in the Comp.

Anyway, this is my first week's entry called 'Radiance' and it has 8 papers and 27 elements. I started out designing a kit for Mother's Day but got sidetracked listening to 'Joi Ho' by the Pussycat Dolls and my kit suddenly took a turn, lol. I love how it turned out, especially the rich papers.

You need to go and grab it from Digiscrap Addicts and PLEASE PLEASE remember to leave me some LOVE there (smiles sweetly) as I think this is a good sign for the judges.
