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!!!)

Huh, September? Where did you come from? What did you do to my August? What did you do to my Summer??

Ah well, we’re going to have lots of fun in September, hopefully it will make up for the change of season that I dread… Here it goes!

First of all: I plan on blogging every day throughout September. Yes, you read that right. If you subscribed to my rss feed, like I suggested here, you WILL get spammed. Sorry. But I promise to make it worth your while, ok? It will not all be digiscrap related, but most of it will, and there will be give aways and freebies. So make sure you check back every day!! Cause… some freebies will be available for 24 hours only. I’ve warned you!!

Second: I’m featured designer at Elemental Scraps! I’m honored, I haven’t been there for very long, but it feels like HOME. To celebrate, I’m having a 30% sale throughout the month (excluding new releases, which already are 25% off for the first week, and collabs). This is your chance to get everything from your wishlist!!

Third: You might want to check out the new challenges at ES too, cause they ROCK. You can earn points and work your way to great discounts. And purchasing ES goodies is seriously interesting, cause there’s even more exciting news here!

That’s it for now, but make sure you check back tomorrow!!

It’s time for this weeks new releases at Elemental Scraps, and it’s collab week, so that means… well… a collab LOL

This time I got together with Crystal of Inspired Designs by Crystal, and created this kit all dedicated to READING! I don’t know about you, but I LOVE to read. I have a childrens book fetish, and I’m sorry to say I have had far too little free time lately to read anything. For the first time in my life, I have TWO unread books waiting for me. And that’s me saying this after 5 weeks of summer break, what’s wrong with that picture?? Ugh…

Anyway, let me show you the kit:

a closer look:

Here’s a LO I did with this kit, featuring our bookcases:

And here’s what my CT/the ES CT did with the kit!

Off course this kit is on a 25% sale, as usual. Make sure you grab it! I have a cute freebie for you, a set of 3 doorknob hangers for the readers that do not want to be disturbed

Enjoy! And don’t forget to visit Crystal’s blog as well, for another freebie!!

Here are 2 layouts featuring Magicabra:

Here’s the kit again:

(and pssss, I know Dollar Day is over, but I kept it at $1 for you )

It’s weekend, and that means that new-release-monday is right around the corner! And for this week, it means my 30% sale is almost over, and THAT means your chance of getting Birthday Bliss for free is almost gone too!! Hurry if you haven’t checked out yet!!

I have some beautiful layouts to show you:

I love how Denise captured this first-camera-moment! When I first released this kit, I used it to scrap Leonie taking pictures for the first time with her own camera too, such a great event to capture!

Here’s another page by Denise using Sail Away! Don’t you just love how she cleverly used the rings to create mouse ears?

Tanja used Birthday Bliss for this great double page layout, she also used some parts from Julie Marie Designs in here.

And here’s another one by Denise, doesn’t that cake look delicious? Remember, you can still get Birthday Bliss for free with ANY purchase from my store till Sunday! My store is on a 30% sale (and you know, being 30 isn’t scrary at all, I feel no different than last week LOL), so make sure you grab what you want. I’ll be back tomorrow with sneak peeks!!
