Color Challenge Time and A Freebie!

Hey there,
Yesterday was Dorians first Day of Kindergarden and he enjoys going very much so far. His teacher is really sweet and nice!

I need your vote!! I'm in the next SAS-y lady contest on Stone accent studios, and people are telling their friends and family to vote for them - and I don't want to do that! I don't mind asking other scrappers to register there and vote because it's a fun place to be, but I don't want to tell my husband or my mom just to register there just for voting. I will probably do it if it's necessary...

This is what my kit looks like:

You can grab this kit on the SAS gallery and vote for this kit HERE.

And don't forget to pick up my new collection on ScrapBird

And here is what you all came for - my color challenge freebie! I loved working with the colors this month, but didn't have a lot of tim to do so, sadly. Maybe I'll do an Add on? Don't know yet...

And here is a closeup at 100%:

You can get the Kit HERE - and don't forget to vote for "Stones Rock!"

You can vote for me now at the next SAS-y Lady contest! Please head on over there and vote - you have three votes, if you like my kit, give one of the votes to me!

Vote here! Remember, my Kit is called "Stones Rock" and is the 11th on the list!

Next SAS-y Lady contest - round one is here! and a Freebie for you!

Finally! With the deadline for the first round aproaching fast, I finished my Minikit! It's called "Stones Rock" - not the most clever play with words, but the best I could come up with at 2am.
I had such a hard time with the colors! But once I'd decided on a theme, I ouldn't stop designing, so you'll get some freebies!

My minikit looks like this:

and here's a closeup:

You can get this kit at the Stone Accent Studio gallery - please leave me a comment there! And don't forget to vote for me! Voting will be open on thursday morning.

I created a quickpage for you with this mini (and I loved working with it...)

New kit in store, SAS-y Lady contest - and of course a freebie!

Hello there,

I finaly did it ad got a new kit into my store! I'm jumping on the general "back to school"- wagon every designer is on at the moment :-)
It is a bit different - not the usual bold and bright colors, you can use this for all kinds of Layouts. I made it with this girl in mind:

Her name is Lea, and she will start school next week. I wanted something soft and sweet for her. And because I have a son, I don't want to forget about the boys and so I made a second part to that collection.
She is the daughter of one of my best friends and I've known her since she was born. She's a wild one, believe me - you just can't tell in the picture. She's one of Dorians best friends.

So, without further ado, here's the collection:

The kit is on SALE until next wednesday, so its only $6.40 right now instead of $8.00. If you don't want to get the whole collection, you can buy the individual kits for $4.00 each right now

Each kit contains:
Upper case alpha,
20 papers and
35 elements, not all shown.
No drop shadows!
As all my scrapbooking supplies, this i

s S4H OK.

Berny from Scrapbird was so nice and used it in some LOs - take a look!

Can you believe this? Its her Great Grandson! How cool is that!

Now, lets get to the thing you're here for... The Freebie! Its a little add on to the kit:

You can get it HERE:

Feel free to share the link - just don't share the product :-D A little thank you goes a long way, btw - I love getting comments on my blog! If you help me promote my new kit, tell me about it, and I have a couple of QPs that I want to give to several people.

Finally I've done it! how do you like the new look of my blog? I did everything myself (except the ribbons, they are a Kim B designer resource) and it took about two days. I'm wayyy behind on my project 365 LOs and there's a lot of designing I have to do, but this was getting pushed back and back and back, so I decided to give it priority for once.

Now I'm off to celebrate my 32nd birthday!

Hello There,

Finally, its getting darker a bit earlier in the evening and my son is willing to sleep before 9pm, so I have a chande to focus on designing a bit more. I'm currently finishing up some small things to go into the store (photo masks, CU templates) and there's also a BIG kit comming up (or rather two matching kits with a lot of hybrid stuff...)

I decided to take part In the "Next SAS-y Lady" contest at Stone Accent Studios. It starts on september first and I can't wait to see how it goes and how far I get.

We spent a nice weekend with my mom in germany. There's a nice festival in nürnberg at the beginning of august that we attend every year. It is called the "Bardentreffen" and it basically is a bunch of not so well known musicians playing for free for a weekend. And a lot of street artists, jugglers, fire-eaters... We always enjoy doing it and this year was especially nice because there were so many awesome musicians playing in the streets. Also, one of our favourite musicians played on a stage. He is a very goofy, funny guy who "translates" famous songs into german, but with no regard for the original text. "Let it be" becomes a song about "Lady Di".


Dorian didn't come with us, he stayed home with my mom for his nap. :-)

And something awesome happened! I FINALLY got to play the bagpipes! That is something I always wanted to try and my mom knows someone who was willing to let me try to play his bagpipes (OK, that sounded wayy too dirty) and it actually was a great success! I won over his son and got some major browny points from my husband by playing the Star Wars tune from the top of my head after 10 minutes of practice!


That was soo much fun, we're going to visit them again the next time we come to Nürnberg. I love this instrument!

So, stay tuned for my new kit, freebies and contest news!

Keep Scrappin'

Birthday, new kit, freebie and a challenge

OK, so I'm not the most reliable blogger....

Grab a glass of lemonade (or some hot chocolate if you're in the southern hemnisphere) because this is a loooooong post!

July was a full month and it's really hot here - I have to admit that I just didn't want to be inside on the computer, I'd rather hang out at a public pool with my kids. Today it is supposed to be too hot to do that, though. It's supposed to go up above 100°F and thats not a temperature that I am cmfortable with and neither are my kids.
I pulled down all the blinds on the sunny side of our apartment and plan to hang up a couple of wet sheets for cooling. The problem is that it never gets that hot in Austria, so we don't have air condition (most people dont). If it gets too unbearable, I'll go to the mall in the afternoon, because its cool there...

I started as a Designer at Scrap Bird and the July and you can get the collab kit now free with your purchase! Its soooo cool! I loved working with the colors!

Check out my shop while you're there, I uploaded some nice kits and there's a lot more comming soon!

Dorian turned 3! We had a big celebration with most of his friends on sunday, with cake and picknick and balloons and stuff! I believe that a kids birthday should be special, but I don't intend to play along in the "my kids birthday is more exclusive/expensive/exciting/whatever than your kids birthday"-game. There's absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating with a picknick on the playground! I had some games for them, but I didn't need them. They were happy playing on the playground.
I had to prepare the food and drinks (chocolate cake, home-made lemonade and breaded mini pork chops and potato salad for the picknick) and I did that the night before so I would have some peace on Dorians Birthday, but that sort of didn't work. We had friends over for a night of boardgames, and it was almost three am when I went to bed (cake, lemonade and salad done, though). I counted on the kids naptime to finish the rest, but instead I fell asleep with them. I had about 1 hour to prepare the pork chops before I had to leave to decorate the playground. Chris helped me a lot! And I got there in time! but I'm still cleaning up today...

Dorians cake! He loved the little sea animals on t! And he ate all of them!


We tried to keep the presents to a minimum, but he still got a lot. I'd rather give him one or two nice things that he can actually apreciate than a wagonload of crap...

And he got presents from his friends, also! We had so much fun, and Dorian loved it. Well, I'll do it again next year...

And I have a cute kit in store! Check out my shop for some more of my work :-) The Kit is called A Cherry on top and you can find it HERE. At only $2.50 its a real bargain.

and of course I have a freebie for you! Its a little add on to the above kit. You can also win the full Kit! Download the freebie and make a LO with it. Post it to at least 3 galleries (digishoptalk should be one of them if possible, the gallery at scrapbird.com would be great!), with a link to my store at scrapbird if possible, and post links to the galleries in the comments section. Please include some kind of contact information! e-mail is great, your nick at scrapbird or digishoptalk is totally fine. This challenge will be up until July 29th (next wednesday).
I will pick the LO I like best (I might pick more than one) and send that person a cupon code to dl the full product.
If you are interested in being part of my creative team, say so in your post. I'll send you the link to a litle kit to play with :-)


Now, grab the freebie HERE and go play with it!

Keep groovin'
