Letting the word out: new Daily Download at DSDI!

This month Jewel (Mad Genius Designs) and Dawn (Daybreak Scraps) have teamed up to bring you a beautiful kit.

Join us in the Drive By Freebies forum starting January 15th for a new portion of the kit each day through the 28th.

Can't wait to see you at the Drive-In!

Going mobile!!!

How excitement?! As Effy used to say!! I've loaded up a free app on my itouch ipod so I can blog quick little bits of info when I want too. Well, within a wireless network anyways.

Typing is a bit tedious - you can't really touch type on this LOL!!!

Woot!! Woot!!

Stay tuned for a rather cool daily download that's coming up at DSDI - I'll be posting a sneaky peaky tomorrow ;) It's a collab by two designers - but I am not going to tell you until tomorrow!!!

Project 365 Templates

Have you noticed how many Project 365 templates that are around out there in digi-scrap land? What I really like about them is that you can also use them for multi photo pages or one single blocked photo.

Check these out by Steel City Scraps:



I've used two of these really cool templates in the pages below:




The kit used is also by Steel City Scraps called Comfy Jamies which is in the Chickadee January Grab Bag at Scrappity Doo Dah. Check it out below!

Spice it up for Jan '10 @ DSDI

Ready to be challenged?



OMGosh is it really NEW YEARS already? Well it is here in Australia - anyways ... I'm getting it up ready to go - AND I managed to get a page up in the gallery too - I am really going to try and be on top of my game this year - yeah right LOL!! :lol::lol:

I though that we would focus on attachments this month as our element challenge. How do you stick items down? Tape? Staple? Messy glue? Stitches? I would like to see you use a few different attachments in your page this month.

I went a bit overboard - I used staples, stitches, twine, even a safety pin ;) I tried the messy glue too, but it just wasn't a good look for this page here for a messy glue example.)

Here's my page:

I even pulled my finger out and made one up already:

Oh dear {sigh}

I still am battling with my lack of exercise and weight gain. :(

I was supposed to go to a cocktail party last week for work - NONE of my dresses fitted me and I did not want to go and buy a dress to cover it up.

I am going to Adelaide next weekend with darling beloved and I need a dress for the dinner out. I know I will not loose enough to get into anything so I bought one of those "slimming" undergraments - kinda like being squeezed into a sausage skin. I managed to look kinda OK in ONE dress. It is too high in the back for my favourite Diana Ferari cocktail dress and it also makes my chest look abnormal in it.

I have started slowly getting back into the fitness thing - for the last three weeks I have cycled to and from school on Wednesday afternoons, towing the bike trailer with Will on the way and Will and Tim on the way back. I also have started doing sit ups again too.

I stacked my bike big time yesterday. I took a turn too sharp and caught the trailer on a febce which of course stopped me in my tracks, having my feet in their straps I couldn't bail out quickly, so just fell off. I now have quite an impressive bruise on my upper left thigh!

Going hybrid!

I've been playing around with some hybrid Christmas decorations over the last week.

I found some really cool templates around on the net. The kaisercraft web site has some really great ideas that are adaptable for didi hybrid.

I've used Christie Lemmon Designs Christmas Shimmer for the papers, plus one element and a word art from the kit.



A couple of gift tags printed on 100gsm white, I fipped the images for back and front of the tags.


Close up of the red tag.


This is using a template form kaiser kraft - I love these!


An easy 3D star. Just add glitter!


I have one more hybrid project up my sleeve for Christmas.
