Today I did something brave. (well, actually it was last night, but the effect became visible today) Something I rarely do. I said no. Ok, I did say more than no, maybe it was more of a ‘no more’, but it still was rare. And I hope this will help me control the chaos in my head. I used to be pretty quick with things, my brain could solve a puzzle AND read a book at the same time, so to speak. But apparently 2 pregnancies put an end to that. Or maybe it’s a small residu of pregnancy hormones? Don’t know… and I don’t know if I’ll ever get ‘my’ brain back. I need my brain to focuss on more than one thing at the same time, OR I need to have only one thing to focuss on. Since I cannot do the first, I chose to do something to have the last. I sent an e-mail to all my co-workers explaining what my life looks like now. Some may think I’m an idiot, some have already said WELL DONE (and they made me smile ), some may not care at all. I just hope it’s of my chest and out of my brain, so I can focuss again! Gosh I wish I wouldn’t have to focuss on so many things…

Ok, on to the next thing: another new release day!! Yes, you must have already heard: Elemental Scraps will from now on release new products on Fridays. What a great way to start of your weekend!! Here’s what I have this time (and it’s also Color Play weekend!):

Some of you may already recognize this, since it used to be part of a collab. Now available as mini-kit, Afternoon Daydream, and it’s on sale too!

A set of cardstocks and a set of interview pieces, matching Septembers Color Play pallette! I thought it would a fun idea to interview our children once a year, and document their favorites at that moment. If you like to do this too, you can use the interview pieces as jumpstarters! Color Play items will be $1 only the first week, then they’ll go up in price. Here’s your chance, happy shopping! I’ll leave you with some CT inspiration, and I’ll see you back tomorrow!

(btw: almost 600 fans!!!)

Woohoo, can you see? Almost 600 fans!! That is seriously amazing, I’m so glad there are people out there that like what I do LOL. Do you know any people that would like to be a fan too? Or are you not ‘liking’ me yet? Here’s your chance: when we reach 600 fans, I’ll hand out a $10 coupon. But wait: when we reach 650, it’ll be $15 and when we reach 700, it’ll be $20! The cut off date is September 14th, so make sure you invite your friends! (you don’t have to force them LOL) Winners will be randomly picked from ALL the fans

I also wanted to show you one of the challenges currently held at Elemental Scraps. I’m hosting a desktop challenge this month! Do you have some kind of image on your desktop? Would you like to pretty-fy it with a September calender? Out of ideas? I’ve created a template for you to help you out!

It will be suitable for the most common sizes (if you’re missing your size, please let me know!!) and will be easy to adapt for Mac users. If you create a desktop image, upload to the gallery and link us up! You’ll earn points and discounts in the end. More info in the forums!!

My lovely CT got to play early, and here’s what they did:

Show us what you got!! I’ll be back tomorrow with new releases. Again?? Yes, Elemental Scraps changed it’s new release day from Monday to Friday, so this is your lucky week! And don’t forget: all my products are 30% (or 25%) off right now!!

Here are some CT layouts created with Num13ers {big bundle}

Today is the last day of August. September will be a fun month, cause I’ll be featured designer at Elemental Scraps! This will mean freebies, give aways, challenges and of course a SALE! Make sure you check my blog tomorrow for the inside info!!
