So much to tell!

Ohh man, where do I start?
I have a month of news to write down!

After my last post, Nani told me that www.scrapbird.com was looking for designers - I applied and got hired and now I'm in a new store! Here is my shop now - go ahead and check it out! I have one kit in the store at the moment, but I will put up some of the things that I had in the old store :-)

My newest kit is called "Greetings from far away" and is a slightly grungy but sunny kit that is perfect for scrapping those vacation memories.

It is 20% off at the moment until next thursday, so hurry up and check it out HERE!
normal price: $4.00
now only $3.20

We also just came back from vacation, but I'll write about that tomorrow. for today, I got a LO made with my new kit :-) The pictures are from our last years vacatioon - I wanted beach picture!



And as a present for you, I made it into a quickpage! This is the first of four QPs that I will give away over the next week, so make sure you come back to pick them up!

long time no see...

hey there,
somehow the days since mothers day passed without an update, sorry! At first, I was really busy with the new store - and after only two weeks in buisness, the whole thing crashed. I'm not sure Nicole wants to start over, but we'll see. If she doesn't I might look for a different stor to sell stuff in, but I'm not sure.
I made so much nice stuff for the store, I will probably have to give it away if I don't find a different store...
I might start thinking about different ways of making some money off this - a donation button, e-bay, not sure...
just rambling :-)
Anyway, Dorian is the cutest big brother you can imagine. Lilith babbles a LOT and my husband and I just had our third wedding aniversary - and we BOTH nearly forgot it. Well, the 14 years together anniversary is in summer and far more important. I'm still doing project 365 and very proud of myself. Couldn't have done it without Gina from Weeds and Wildflowers and her hodge podge goodies that you get for sticking to 365 every other week.

keep scrappin'
Vee *yawn*

Happy Mothers day!

Just a quick post today, and than i'm off to enjoy the day!
Here is a little greeting my mother:


And here's to all moms- take a look at this:

Keep scrapping!
Veelana

Hello again everyone!

Our shop at DigiScrapDesign is finally working! Nicole is awesome, I think she didn't sleep for the past week or so..
.

The forum is up and running and I haven't had anyone reply to my creative team call so far - check it out HERE if you're interested. I'm looking for a couple of girls (are there ANY scrapping guys??) that are active in the community with a variety of different styles, and I don't mind if you've never been on a creative team.

I have a couple of items in the store now for a dollar - check out some of the previews! My polka dot kit got some love yesterday, today I'll showcase some photomasks I made (on sale for 1$)
go check them out HERE

I'll probably make some more masks since I like making these...
And I have some LO to share with you - Nicole's creative team made them because I don't have a creative team yet.

This cute LO was done by Jessicamae3 I just LOVE the way she used the mosaik frame to frame the whole page!

The next one is from Pattie's passion - Thank you for making that one, That is an awesome goofy picture!

And last but not least - its time for KimB's color challenge! her colors are stunning as usual and inspired me to create this kit:

you can download it HERE - but remember, please do not share the link, send people to my blog instead!

Keep Scrappin'
Veelana

Lots and lots and lots of things to post about...

So, first things first: Store's open! DigiScrapDesign has its grand opening! The shop is working now I think and there is a little welcome kit that you can get just for posting to the forum and the gallery!

A lotl of my things that are in the store are priced at 1$ for the grand opening - even some commercial use things!

My creative team call is still running! I'm looking for people with a wide variety of styles, so don't be shy, you might be exactly what I'm looking for!

go to the forum - HERE - and read what you need to do to apply.

You have the chance to get a nice little kit that I made exclusively for this call.

And while you're still reading - grab my blinkie, will you?

In other news: Its may already and I'm still on board ith project 365. Thanks Gina at W&W - you rock!

And here is what you probably came here for - my kit "polkadots!" is currently on sale for one dollar!

There are some nice LOs that have been made with this, but I have a freebie for you that is an add on to this fun little kit.

You can grab the add on here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/102164659/9f59247b/Polkadot_addon.html

Visit my blog again in the next days to see some more stuff and grab some more freebies!

Take care and keep scrappin'

Huggle, Vee

just real quick

I will have big news very soon, so look out!
As for now...
I'm having trouble uploading my easter kit to 4shared :-( It will still be a freebie very soon, though.
AND:
I'm looking for a creative team! I will have an official call as soon as I get up the freebie for you to work with - if you're interested, check this blog for updates :-D

So many things, so little time...

I have so many things to share, I don't even know what to start with...

I'm still doing great with project 365, probably thanks to Gina at W&W designs. I scrap my week every sunday night - sadly, I'm not doing as well with updating my blog. Maybe someone should offer an incentive for that...
I made a cute LO of our friends - Anja has been my friend for years and our kids are pretty close. I used Gina Marie Huffs "Delightful collection" for this - love that kit!

We're currently planning our summer vacation. We will probably spend a week at an austrian farm - farm holidays are supposed to be a lot of fun with little kids. And since Dorian loves animals a lot and they have kids of their own there - sounds like a match...
I've already found a farm and I'm going to check if they are free at the time we want to come. Looks like my mom will join us there :-D

Almost all of our weekends are filled with things to do until may - we originally planed to spend a weekend at a farm to see how we like it...

I have recently discovere www.yourfonts.com and had my handwriting made into a font. I like the way it came out, so I'm sharing it. Feel free to use this any way you want, if you want to use it commercially, just tell me - I'll most probably grant you permission to do so :-) If you use it in a scrapbooking kit, I'd like a copy for personal use - and if you make a freebie with it, please tell me about it, so I can go check it out.

You can dl it here: http://www.4shared.com/account/file/94846282/a311f976/Scribbly_Sarah.html

I'm working on a new kit - here's a little sneak preview of things to come. It'll be pretty big, but I will make it so that you can collect it in parts if you dont want all of it...
I might make it into an easter egg hunt if I can figure out the logistics behind it...
Does anyone have any ideas? I'd apretiate any tips...



I also got some blog awards that I have to share...

Nani gave me this award.

It’s presented as a sincere thank you for awards and nice comments. It doesn’t have to be passed on today or ever, but it can be. Very cool sentiment!

Blond moment resulting in a tutorial...

Doing my current project 365 LO I was in such a hurry that I forgot to delete the layer that should be invisible from the template...
Normally that wouldn't be so bad because I'd still have the .psd files and just save the .jpg over the old one, but I didn't save my chnges in the .psd - I thought I was done.
Luckily I didn't delete the old saved version yet...
So, if this ever happenes to you, this is what you can do:

See? Thats the LO I'm trying to save. ugly guide lines everywhere...

Here is the version I saved on friday - still missing the weekend pictures and all of the journalling. I didn't want to re-do the things I was still missing...


So I seved the .psd file as a .jpg and zoomed in on both documents to 200%, focusing on the left corner.


With the clone stamp selected I "Alt+clicked" on a spot on the left document that I would be able to recreate on the right document (where paper and stitches meet), and then clicked on the exact same spot on the document I want to change. After that, it's easy.


Just use the stamp like a brush - the clone stamp will copy your motion on the other picture and paint whatever is on that pic onto the one you're painting on.


Done! thank you, clone stamp! Now , if you always check your files before saving, you will not need this - but it might come in handy sometime, who knows?

Have fun playing with this!

365 Layouts and another freebie for you!

So, my mom was here for a week an now I have tons of new pictures to scrap :-)
We had a pretty low stress visit - it's not always this way, but we enjoyed her stay with us.
So, here are my Layouts - week 8:



and week 9 - very much going on in the past two weeks...

I did my color challenge freebie a bit earlier this month - a lot earlier, that is. I love designing and I was so bummed last month that I didn't have a lot of time to do something...
I'm happy with this kit :-)
Its pretty big, there's an uppercase alpha in there and I only put some of the elements in the preview , there was way too much!
So, here we go :

You can get it here - please leave your comments on my blog, not 4shared. Let me know what you think! I'd love to se ome LO - leave me a link in the comments section!
