Speed Scrap Tonight! And A Fantastic Charity Kit!

Hey all! I'm just dropping by for a couple of announcements!!

First of all, don't forget about the Speed Scrap tonight at SWAM!



It will start at 10PM EST/9PM CST. You will be able to find us at http://www.scrapswithamouse.com in the chat room, and instructions will also be posted in the forums so if you want to participate but not chat, you will still have the instructions. Don't miss out, it will be awesome, and there is a participation coupon for everyone in it as well!

Next, I want to let you know about an awesome new charity kit. This is for a wonderful cause and all the proceeds from the sales of the kit goes to the organization Walk Now For Autism.



It is a huge kit, tons of designers have participated for this great cause, and remember that every penny of the proceeds goes to Walk Now For Autism. You can check out the blog for more details, go here to see all the previews, or go to the donation page to make a donation.

I'll be back later tonight to post a reminder about the speed scrap!

SWAM - Blog Train, Grand Opening, and more! *CORRECTION*

Hello all! Good news, I'm feeling much better today - well right now anyway. This morning at work I got sick twice - too much nasty mucus - but I was feeling a little better by lunchtime. Wish I'd eaten something though - I'm starving, don't feel like getting up to cook, and Heath won't be home to bring me a sandwich for another two hours. :( Oh well...I'll have to get up and cook something for Isaac after I post this anyway. :)

Today I bring you a little information about all the good things going on over at Scraps With A Mouse this week. Lots of fun things!

If you haven't been following yet, you should hop on over to the SWAM Blog and check out the blog train going on right now! Today was my day to post, and I posted some beautiful (free!) glitter styles to match the colors of the scheme. And the best part is they are both PU and CU ok! For FREE! You can also pick up all the other designer's portions of the blog train - and be sure to stop back by tomorrow as it's the last day and tomorrow's freebie will be great to kick off the beginning of the Grand Opening!

Speaking of, the GO starts tomorrow! Since I've been sick, I've been pretty out of the loop, so I don't have a lot of info for you. But I do know that you will probably be able to go to the forum tomorrow and find out information. There also may be some things posted on the home page as well. Be sure to check out the store too. I may have a sale in store for you ;)

Oh and definitely be sure to check out the store and look for our first collab kit!

And pst...remember I mentioned something about a speed scrap? ;)

I'm hosting my first ever speed scrap at SWAM on Friday, Sept. 25th at 9PM CST. I got a little confused looking for equivalent times, but I think that would make it 8PM EST. I'm not sure about the others - like I said, I got really confused when searching for times lol.

*CORRECTION* Sorry all, I was informed that 9PM CST is actually 10PM EST! So sorry about that!

Sorry the information is so sporadic - since I've been sick I haven't gotten to check in much, or ask Selena about any info. I'll try to come back tomorrow with more info! :)

SWAM Grand Opening and Freebie Coming Soon!

Hey all!

I don't have much time, I just figured I should really stop by and let you all know that I haven't abandoned my blog lol!

Okay so the short story is this - I've been very sick this weekend. I originally started out thinking I might have the swine flu. I'd talked to a couple of friends of mine and it seemed like they'd had it, and read up on the symptoms on the Internet. So yesterday I went ahead and went to the doctor - I already had antibiotics that I was taking, but Thursday night my TMJ really hit me hard - probably because I had so much pressure in my head going on and I was stressed out thinking I had the swine flu. Anyway so I had to go to get something that would work on my TMJ, and found out at the doctor that I had a sinus infection - thank goodness! So I was given a different antibiotic to take care of that, plus heavy pain meds for the TMJ. I mean heavy. SO...I'm pretty out of it this weekend. Last night I was so dizzy that - well you know that feeling after you ride a ride at the carnival that goes around really fast? That you're still going around and around and it's making you sick? That's how I felt. Only my ride was going REALLY fast lol. I'm better today, I cut the dosage and it's still working for the pain but not with as bad of effects. I should be much better tomorrow, I have to work so I won't be drugged up on pain medications. I'm really going to try to get some stuff done tonight.

Therefore...tomorrow I will be making the big blog post. I will have information on Scraps With A Mouse's big grand opening (yay!), I will have a link to a freebie for all of you, and I will also be putting up information on the speed scrap I'll be hosting later next week! (Mark your calendar - it will be my first speed scrap so it will be great!) Also I will reveal a little information on the next two blog trains I will be participating in - both coming in October! So be sure to check back tomorrow!!!

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:

If you really love this kit, head on over to DST's Happy Place to see how you can get a chance to win this kit free!

This template may NOT be sold or given away as a product in it's original format. By downloading this freebie you are agreeing to my TOU included in the download.

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!

New store! And a sale!

That's right! I'm now selling at Scraps With A Mouse in addition to K-Joi Studios! I just loaded some of my products into the shop and officially opened it, so I'm having a sale. You can grab Love By The Lakeside the full kit and the matching word art for 25% off, and you can grab Girls Vs. Boys there (as well as K-Joi Studios if you prefer) for 40% off for the rest of July!

Image is linked directly to my store front. Not all my products are up in the Scraps With A Mouse store. You will only be able to get Daditude and Red White and Blue at K-Joi Studios. However I will be working on some new products soon, so keep checking back.

While you're there check out the forum and all the goodies at the blog. There are several freebies posted by other designers at the Scraps With A Mouse blog. Scraps With A Mouse isn't officially opened yet, so keep checking back for details on the Grand Opening celebration that we're sure to be having! :D
