Sale, New Releases, and a new FREEBIE

Apparently there were some problems with the sale feature on Wednesday. Due to those technical issues, I've decided to run another sale over the next few days. Everything at KKD is reduced by 50%. You can check out the entire store here.

I finally found some time to design this weekend. You'll find two new products in my stores. One is a brag book created with my popular Denim and Dirt kit.



And the other is a new felt set of frames and shapes for Halloweeen. I love how these turned out.



And if you missed my Heritage Harvest Add-on at my chat last week, it's now available in my stores.




Today's freebie is using some felt elements from the set. It's a cute little embellished slide.



You can grab it here.

I also want to give you some advance notice on my chat this week. I will be hosting another chat this week at TWD. It's scheduled for Thursday, October 4th, and 8 PM in the chatroom at TWD. I will be giving away an element sampler filled with some of my favorite elements. You don't want to miss this one. I'll have previews posted in the next few days.

New leaf charm freebie, Wacky Wednesday Sale 75% off!

Well, it's been a good week so far, despite feeling lousy. I think I'm still feeling left over effects from my fertility shot. There's still 10 days until we find out if this round worked. It's a waiting game. I want to thank everyone for your well wishes and prayers. They mean so much to me.

I have a new freebie for you today. Leaf charms!



You can grab them here.

I'm also having a 75% off Wacky Wednesday Sale at Karla's Kaleidoscope Designs. Everything in my store is 75% off. I've turned the sale prices on early, so you can actually take advantage of early savings today!

A new freebie, grab bag, sale continues!

Thankfully our week of doctor visits is over. I guess you can't really call them doctor visits since in our four trips we never even saw the RE. It's no wonder things don't run as smoothly at the clinic anymore. They have one RE instead of two like there were three years ago and the one they have is never there. The nurses and nurse practioner are doing all the work. I'm not complaining too much at this point, since it's too soon to tell if it worked or not. Besides, the nurse we had today is actually the nurse practioner we had when Gianni was conceived. So we know she does good work!

I'm just glad we don't have to make that two hour trip for at least two weeks. Even though I was able to take an hour nap this afternoon, I'm still wiped. At least I have the weekend to recover. I have to catch up on all the work I missed this week, and I'd rather be scrapping and designing.

Here's the latest design news...This weekend the TWD designers have fall grab bags on sale for just $2.00. I know you're going to love mine. It's over 80 mb of great heritage style fall items. There are 3 products in the grab bag. All are brand new, never released items. You can grab my bag here.



My 35% off sale also continues through Sunday. It's a great chance to pick up my new releases and old favorites.

Since fall is in the air, I have a new freebie for you today as well. It's five glitter leaf swirls. The leaf I used to create the swirls actually came from one of the 150 year old trees in my front yard. I think that's pretty neat. I hope you like them. Leave me a little note when you download. I love to hear your thoughts and feedback. You can grab the swirls here.

A New Freebie, A Sale, and A Chat

I can't believe it's been weeks since my last blog entry. I'm just not adjusting well to being back to work. I'm in bed by 8 nearly every night. That doesn't leave a lot of time for blogging, scrapping, or designing!

This week is even more crazy with visits to the fertility clinic. We went to the dr. Monday morning for an ultrasound to check my follicles. They weren't mature. Now we have to go again tomorrow morning for another check. If they're mature, I'll get a trigger shot and IUIs on Thursday and Friday. It's making my work schedule crazy plus we have to drive two hours each way. I'm going to have to get up at 4 AM tomorrow. Not fun!

But it's all worth it if we are able to get pregnant again. I really want Gianni to have a sibling. I just pray it's part of God's plan for our family. Actually I'm praying for God's will on this one and for acceptance of whatever plan He has for me. I have to tell you that's been hard! I keep trying to give it over to God and then yank it right back.

In the midst of this crazyness week, I'm also have a sale at both my stores. Yesterday was my hubbie's 35th birthday, so I'm celebrating by having a 35% off sale at Tina Williams Designs and Karla's Kaleidoscope Designs. Everything is on sale even new releases. Here are some previews of my latest releases.

Heritage Harvest

Back to School Brag Book

Rustic File Cards and Frames

Grungy Leaf Overlays

I'm also having a chat this Thursday at TWD. It's at 8 PM eastern time in Tina's chatroom. I'll be giving away the add-on to Heritage Harvest. It compliments the kit, but can also stand alone as a complete kit. Yes, you get a complete kit just for hanging out with me for a little while! Here's a look at the kit you'll get for coming to the chat.

Free Chat Kit!

I also have a freebie for you today. It's a sample from my grunge and denim line. You can grab it here.

Sale continues, new releases, and a freebie

Well, the clock is ticking on my summer. One more day. I know, I know. I shouldn't complain I have all summer off. I just wish I could be a SAHM all year long. I love being here with my family, but I have to work. It's going to be an exciting year at school with many changes. It's sure to keep me on my toes. At least it won't be boring :) And if you have a beginning reader heading off to school this fall, don't forget that my printable emergent reader sets are on sale for one more day. They're 60% off! You can check them out here.

Our sale at Tina Williams and Friends continues until the 5th. Everything in my store is 40% off. Here are some of my latest releases that you can find at Tina's.

Layouts, Sale Annoucement, New Products, and FREEBIE

Wow, so much to cover again today! Well, I had a toddler free day again today. My last one of the summer. Gianni spent all day with Grandma and Grandpa. I got a lot done around the house plus a new product finished and still had time left over to spend with my hubbie. It's nice to have some quiet adult time once in a while. We probably won't have the again for a while.

Okay, so on with the things I need to share with you! First, all the designers at Tina Williams Designs are having a 40% off sale August 29th-September 5th. It's a great time to stock up on all those goodies you've been eyeing! Even my new releases are on sale.

You can visit my store at Tina Williams Designs here.




I have several new products. First, there is an add-on to my new Froggy kit.



The add-on is Froggy's Growth Chart. Included in this add-on, that coordinates with Froggy's Un-frog-ettable Kit, are 4 background papers, 1 frog growth chart, 2 word arts, 25 embroidered word art dates from birth to two years, 3 polaroid frames, 2 arrows, 1 tag, and 3 overlays to create your own check-up cards to document height, weight, and comments about growth. You can pick it up for 40% off tomorrow at TWD.

I also have a new frame set that I hope will be up at TWD tomorrow. If not it's available now at KKD. It's a set of vintage quilt frames. I dug deep into my stash of quilt scraps to create these great little frames.

Here's a preview...



You can get them now at KKD.

Everything at KKD is also 40% off :)

I had a chance to do some layouts last night for the CTs I'm one. The first is one for Tina Williams' CT. I used her amazing kit Grandpa's Toolshed. It's a picture of my father for them mid-1940s. The kit was just perfect for this heritage layout. You can get the kit here.



The other layout is for Alice Koh's CT. I've been slowly trying to complete my wedding album. I know have three layouts done...lol. Here's the latest it's done using Alice's Gold Eleganza Combo Kit.



You can get Alice's Kit at Scrapbook-Elements.

Now finally the freebie! I have a little sample from the new frame set.



You can get the freebie here. And don't forget to get the entire set at KKD.

Wow, after a week of nothing to talk about now there seems to be so much to cover! First I want to send a shout out to Rose of RoseMcDigital Designs.
