New Kit - Carrot Colors, and Matching Freebie

Hello much neglected blog.  Remember me?  Hopefully, with Tax Season over, I'll have some more time to spend designing.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed. 

I've got a new kit in stores, Carrot Colors:

I seem to be starting this new tradition with my roommate, where every year, just around Easter, I have this same conversation with her.  "We should start a garden, grow our own food," I say.  To which she replies, with various degrees of laughter, "I can't even trust you with potted plants, now you want to start digging holes in our yard?"  And while she is probably absolutely right,  this probably won't stop me from asking again next year.  So here's to all of you with the talent and patience to grow things.  Or maybe, like me, you just like the color of carrots :D

 

Kit contains:

1 Alpha

17 Papers (12 patterns and 5 solids)

57 Elements - 6 Flowers, 5 journaling cards, 5 vegetables (3 carrots, peas, squash), 4 gardening tools, 3 bottle caps, 3 buttons, 3 brads, 3 frames, 3 labels, 3 ribbons, 3 seed packets, 2 pieces of tape, 1 banner, 1 bow, 1 bunny, 1 butterfly, 1 doily, 1 fence, 1 piece of grass, 1 leaf, 1 pot, 1 sign, 1 scatter, 1 splatter, 1 tree

Check out the matching freebie cluster frame too!

ADSR7 is coming soon!  So start looking for partners :D

"gonna wish I had a little heads up, little lee-way, little more time"

I adore that song by the way. So much so that my freak October snowstorm themed kit borrowed it's name.    This mini kit was part of my DSD grab bag, but if you missed out on that, you can now buy it separately.  It includes 12 papers, and 26 storm/emergency themed elements so you can be much more prepared than we were personally for 18 inches of snow and a week without power.

I've made a matching alpha for you all.  You can download it here.

Want to see picture of the storm damage?  I swear our town looked like a war zone.  Driving to my grandparents the day after, you wouldn't believe how many streets were closed.  There were trees on the road every where, and power lines were hanging so low (if not completely on the street) that many places turned into one way roads.  

This was an hour into the storm.  We had  just lost internet and I was pretty grumbly about it, which led to the week long joke, when the power went out an hour later, "and then mother nature decided to teach you what real deprecation is..."

And this is the next morning.  We had to get a neighbor to remove the two trees in the front of our yard because so many of their branches broke.  The house looks so weird now.  

And this was two days later, as we were headed out of dodge.  We're pretty much the antithesis of outdoorsy, roughing it people, and once the gas ran out on the grill and we were no longer able to boil water for coffee, we were so gone.  We ended up holded up in little motel one state over, calling our answering machine every couple of hours to see if we'd gotten power back yet.

I'm all for adventure, but I think I could live without having to go through that anytime soon.  My grandmother had to go back to 1937 to even have a storm to compare it to.  And my sister, who's going to school along the coastline, barely got a couple of inches, and was back in school the next day.  

"...and many more"

Happy Sixth Birthday NDISB!

We're having a blog train to celebrate.  Want to pick up all the pieces found in making all these lovely pieces - just go to the forum and play our cupcake treasure hunt!

"drop everything now and meet me in the pouring rain,"

I've got a new kit out...or well, the expansion of a mini kit into a new kit. I'm really excited this one is finished (I lost most of it in the Great August Computer Meltdown of 2011) and I've got some really fun things in the works for the coming weeks.

Here's what it looks like scraped with; see, I am still chipping away at my vacation pictures. If I'm lucky I'll get them all done by the time we can go on our next one (hahaha)

And don't forget the freebie!

And for an extra freebie, sign up for the newletter at NDISB. I've contributed a free mini kit that going to be coming out the 15th.

'the new is in, the new is in, and i'm feeling better already'

Enough dawdling, my store at NDISB.com is finally open!  And we're starting it off with an expanded version of Fish Food.  I love the colors of this kit, and drawing all those fish was so much fun. Remember to scroll down to the bottom for the matching freebie!

"people all round the world, join hands, start a love train,"

Welcome to the First Digi Scrap Connect Blog Train. This blog train is comprised of 24 fabulous designers who have been participating in the Design Factor Challenge the last 5 weeks. We decided to have fun with it and turn it into a great Blog Train and thus Flowers, Ribbons, and Strings Oh My!! the blog train was born. We hope you have fun collecting the great mini kits. If you get lost along the blog train, just return to Digi Scrap Connect to find the list of all participants.

Here's my mini kit Ship Shoes. Grab it now, before I expand it into a full kit and put it in my very first store (I'm a bit excited about this, can you tell.)

Here's the list of all the participants if you've gotten lost, or like me, you like to start at the bottom, ;)
