SAS News, New Release, Sales, and a Freebie!

Hello everyone! I have tons of stuff to post about today so grab a cup of coffee and get your clicking finger ready!

First, I want to apologize. I had to force myself to drop out of the SAS Contest for lack of time. I just don't have the time or energy to pour my all into the contest and I would rather step aside and give somebody else the chance to make it. I will still hang around SAS though, and maybe try it again next year. This will also give me a chance to do some more work on some new products and maybe revamping some old. Stay tuned!

Also, today is the day my new kit releases! Hope you guys enjoyed your little sneaky peek the other day, but now you get to see the whole thing!

Yeehaw! Lil' Cowboy, a brand new kit by Pixiemama Designs, is chock full of items that will make you want to throw on cowboy boots and do a dosie-do. You'll ride into the sunset on horseback with 12 highly-textured papers, 22 country-western themed elements, and a full rusted metal alpha, including uppercase, lowercase, numbers and tons of symbols.

Here are some layouts that I have done with Lil' Cowboy:

New Mini Kit, A Freebie, and A Layout Made By Me!

Hey everyone! How is everyone's Tuesday going? Wish mine was going better. My jaw's starting to act up and I'm getting the beginnings of a horrible splitting headache. Heath had to go in to work for a couple of hours because someone called in, so I'm getting some things done so later I can do some scrapping and spend time with him.

I just popped in to let you guys know that I have another new product in my stores. My little hiatus did me quite well. :)

The new kit is a mini kit called Strawberry Margarita. Sound familar? It's one of my entries from The Next Best Thing contest, it's redone and way better. I tried out some new techniques I learned in this one, still perfecting them but it turned out quite well. As per usual, for the rest of August this mini is not the regular price of $3.99, but on sale for $2.99. On September 1st, it will go back to it's regular price. You can grab the mini kit at both of my stores, K-Joi Studios and Scraps With A Mouse.


I also have a freebie quickpage using some elements in the kit. There is one quickpage in both PSD and PNG formats, for use in multiple programs. You can only get the quickpage freebie at K-Joi Studios, so head on over there to grab that.

To wrap this up, I have some more new products coming out soon. Hopefully in the next couple of days. I have some CU products planned. :) Look for me starting to put out some CU overlays very soon. Keep checking back.

Also, my CT Call is still running. Come on guys, I need some CT members! I have lots of fun things planned for the blog and stuff, but I need CT members to help implement them. I'll be retiring some old products to possibly redo them, and putting up tons of new stuff before Christmas, so I need some CT members to help make layouts for those kits. You can grab the details in the last couple of posts. :)

Speaking of layouts...before I go, I wanted to show you guys this layout I made with Beachy Keen. This is my son, Isaac, right before his first birthday, enjoying a bath before bedtime. Doesn't he look like he's having fun?


I used a free template available at A Cherry On Top, and like I said the kit I used was Beachy Keen by me, you can pick that up at K-Joi Studios or Scraps With A Mouse (remember: it's on special as well, for the entire month of August it's only $2.99!). The glitter style used on the title is by Inspired By Dominic Designs, from her Storybook Slumber kit, which you can grab at any of her stores. (Links at her blog.) Coincidentally, some of the papers and elements in Beachy Keen were made using elements from her July CU Grab Bag. You get 5 product packs in her grab bags, for commercial use. Her July bag has already reverted to regular price, but you can grab her August Grab Bag right now for a FANTASTIC special for only the month of August. Some of the products in that bag were used to create Strawberry Margarita...you should go check it out, trust me it's a fantastic deal!

Alright I'm out to go work on some more stuff until Heath gets home. If you made it to the end of this post, you SO deserve that freebie. Head on over and grab that. Later!

Beachy Keen Mini Kit

Hi everyone! Just popping in to let you know that I finished a kit that I'd been working on for a while and it's in stores now. It's perfect for scrapping all those beach or swimming pictures you have from this summer. It's also on special for the whole month of August...normally $3.99, for the month of August it's only $2.99!

Escape away to the beautiful colors of the beach with this mini kit. Included is all the elements needed to scrap those summer vacation pictures at your favorite beach. Mini kit has 7 textured and patterned papers, and 26 elements including: - 2 flowers with buttons and ribbon - 3 epoxy circle frames - 10 epoxy beach-themed words - 1 leaf - 1 paper wave - 2 curly ribbons - 5 sea pebbles (epoxy dots) - 2 paper seashells All elements are created and saved at 300 DPI. This mini kit is s4h/s4o friendly. Please refer to my TOU included in download.

You can grab it right now at K-Joi Studios only, but it should be up at Scraps With A Mouse within the next couple days. I just wanted to get it up in time for the newsletter at K-Joi tomorrow. If you haven't yet, you should go sign up for it. Mars from CactusMango Designs is giving away a whole mini kit in 5 seperate downloads this month, and you can only get the code to get them in the shop from the newsletter. This mini kit will be gorgeous, you should check it out.

Also, remember that my CT Call is still going. I need some scrappers to start my CT. I've got some great new ideas for kits planned in the next few months. Including some holiday kits - a Halloween kit, Christmas, possibly a birthday kit since Isaac's 3rd birthday is coming up, and an autumn-themed kit. So don't be fooled by some of the kits I have in my shop now - they are kits I did as a brand new designer and they will probably be redone after the beginning of the year. So please...if you're looking for a creative team to call home, apply for my creative team.

The email to contact me is pixiemamadesigns@hotmail.com, you can contact me at that email to ask questions or for more information. If you can't read the ad, please click on it to make it larger or you can contact me at the email address and I will send you more info.

I don't know how long it will be before I have another new kit. I have a kit that I'm working on right now but I've hit a road block with some extracted elements so I'm not sure how long it will be. I'd like to have it out by next Thursday, so look for that maybe around that time. I hope to have at least something out by then.

New Release!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that I've released a new kit in my K-Joi store. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog remembers my first entry to the Next Best Thing contest, but I've taken that and made it into a full-sized kit. I couldn't stop myself with this kit and it ended up being pretty large. It has 14 Papers, 55 Elements, and 2 Full Alphas (pink and orange, with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and some punctuation and symbols)!

And for the month of July I've made it 40% off in my K-Joi store. Please go check it out!


Maybe in the next couple of days I'll have a freebie done and ready with the kit. Here's a layout I made with the kit. This is Isaac and Heath a week or so ago at the park, having a great old time.

Also, if anybody has made any layouts or projects with any of my kits, I'd love to feature them on my blog. You can shoot me an email at lilplayb0ybunny69@hotmail.com if you have, and I'll feature them in my next blog post!

Here are a couple of layouts that a couple of the wonderful CT members at K-Joi Studios have made with my kits:


Layout by Frumpje @ K-Joi Studios using Daditude - The Bundle


A Wonderful Bookmark by Frumpje @ K-Joi Studios using Daditude - The Bundle


Another wonderful layout by Supersuzi @ K-Joi Studios using Love By the Lakeside - The Kit

These ladies have done such a wonderful job and the images are linked to their project in their gallery so please go leave them some love, they have done such an amazing job with my kits!

I'll be working on the header for the blog tonight, and maybe some other things too. I'll also probably be planning my next kit! :)

New kit and a freebie!

Okay, finally I have a freebie for all of you lol! I've been so busy with the Next Best Thing contest and working on this new kit to put up in the shop that I haven't even had time to scrap! I know, what a catastrophe!

I have a new kit up in the shop today, it is called Love by the Lakeside and it is inspired by one of my favorite movies since high school, A Walk to Remember. The color scheme is directly taken from some of my favorite stills in the movie. It captures the romance and beauty that is a night by the lake with your significant other or other loved one. I've included the rich colors of one of the characters clothing, the beautiful deep and light greens of the greenery, and the burgundy color in the sunset. This kit is huge and contains 12 highly-textured papers (some of the overlays used are Tiffany's!), 38 elements including scalloped frames, roses, tags, and bows, and a full glittered alpha as well! It's well worth the bargain of $5.00 if you ask me!

I have also put up a set of 5 word art in the shop to match the kit as well. These word art are all created at 300 PPI and in .png format, and would be perfect as titles for all your wedding, Valentine's Day, and other romantic event layouts. They are only $1.00 and not included in the kit!

And last but not least, I have created a freebie for all of my customers so you can preview a little bit of the kit yourself. I have made a frame cluster using some of the elements in the kit.

You can go to my storefront right here to download the freebie and check out all of my other products.

Our anniversary was definitely eventful. It was fun, but sort of disastrous in a way. But aren't plans always that way? lol By the time we got out to the lake the heat had all but spoiled our picnic lunch, so that wasn't very good. Then about 45 minutes after sitting down we had to gather everything back up to go into town to buy sunscreen because Isaac was starting to burn. When we got back everything good was taken so we had to go to a different lake. We found shade but Heath and I fished a little on the bridge...by the time 20-30 minutes was passed, I was sick from the heat and pain medicine mixed together for my TMJ (I know, not the brightest idea!). So we left and then Heath and I got into an argument about going to the mall vs. going somewhere else - there's way more to it than that but why hash it up on a blog. We finally worked it out and went to the mall to walk around in the air-conditioning for a little while. Met up with my mom, purchased the best shirt for my father for Father's Day, and then we left to go home and get ready to drop Isaac off with my mom and go to dinner. By the time we got to dinner I noticed I had a horrendous sunburn that hurt pretty bad. It got worse through dinner and all through the night - dinner was uncomfortable for me, and after we picked up Isaac we came home and laid in bed. That was uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep on my back all night. Still can't and it's been two days!

So while it was fun, it could have been done smarter...more ice in the cooler and lots of sunscreen!!!

So that was my anniversary. Not exactly what I wanted it to be but special all the same. Hopefully I'll be back in the next few days with another freebie or some layouts to show you with Love by the Lakeside. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

My secret's out!...

That's right! I've opened up a new (MY FIRST!) shop! I can't tell everybody how incredibly excited I am to be in such a wonderful store. I've been a member at K-Joi now for about 1.5 years (if I remember right) and have been on the CT for probably approximately half of that time. The designers are all amazing - their designs are amazing, and they as people are amazing. They are always willing to answer a question, do a favor, or help you out in almost any way. If you post an ISO, there's almost always someone who has what you're looking for, knows where to find it, or is willing to make it. When you need a shoulder to lean on, they are there. When you have an announcement, they are just as excited for you as you are for yourself. All of them deserve so much praise for what they do, and all of their wonderful designs, layouts, and all that they do to make K-Joi what it is. Kara, the owner, works so hard to maintain a wonderful, customer-friendly store. If there's ever a problem she's there ASAP to resolve it and remedy it beyond what a lot of stores may do. And boy when I say she works hard, she really works hard - it really must be a full-time job to do what she does!

Please, please, please...even if you don't stop by my store, please do stop by some of the other designer's stores and take a look at their designs. Tiffany designs over there also, so this may be your chance to pick up some of her stuff as well. You're also more than welcome to join the forum, we are an incredibly friendly, DRAMA-FREE group of people! While you're there you can sign up for the newsletter to see our great deals and any sales we have going on (I may be having a sale coming up sometime this month, maybe even more than one!), and there's also tutorials in some newsletters, featured layouts/designers/members, and a special freebie in each newsletter that you can only get in the newsletter. There are also coupon codes in each one.

Here is the link to go directly to K-Joi's storefront. Navigation is very easy, so if you're looking for the shop or forum or even the blog, it's easily spotted. If you're only interested in my designs, you can go here, but I do urge to check out all the other fabulous designers and things K-Joi has to offer.

And don't worry, I will still offer the occassional freebie. I have noticed that everybody seems to enjoy the QP's from Tiff's kits, so I will try to put those out when I can. I will also be making QP's from some of my work when I have the time. Also, I will be putting up blinkies for you to snag soon, and if I catch you wearing my blinkie in any of the forums I participate in, you may be RAK'd! I want to thank all of you for supporting me by downloading my freebie kits, even when they weren't so fabulous lol! I will also be redesigning some of these kits now that I'm in a store and my skill level and knowledge is a bit better. If you'll notice, all my products in the store all newly revealed...they have never been offered as a freebie before. And I have a special deal on the whole Father's Day collection, which I titled Daditude.

I will leave you to roaming the shop now and come back with more stuff later, must go get some fresh air now! It is incredibly hot in this house of mine!! Again, thank you to all my wonderful blog readers and I hope you take advantage of any of my deals, and enjoy them! Coupon expires Tuesday night at 11:59PM.
