This could be yours!

Today at GDS, Amy and I are hosting the November Queen of the Crop. We set forth a series of challenges and for each challenge you complete you will earn a portion of either my mini kit or Amy's mini kit. If you complete all the challenges you will have earned a full kit as both our minis coordinate! How cool is that. Hop on over to GDS today and check out the fun!!! Here is a preview of the mini that I'm offering up!

If you can't make it today....you can still play. You have until Saturday night at midnight to complete all the challenges....so technically that's Sunday morning. If you still cant find the time and you want this mini, it will be available in my store next week!

Keep your eyes peeled for more spotlights coming soon and more new products!!!
Thanks for looking.

In the Spotlight

In addition to the CT slide show that I'm adding to my blog, I'm going to start spotlighting their AWESOME work right here in my posts. There are sooooo many wonderful layouts to choose and I will get to them all eventually but today I want to show this one by Nancy of precious Josephine. This layout was chosen as layout of the day at the Digiscrap Boutique on 11-2. She used my "Marvelous" kit available at GDS. Enjoy.... This is beautiful Nancy!!!

Leave her some love!!!

UCM Alumni Homecoming Weekend!!

This weekend we went back to the burg for the Alumi Homecoming! We got up early and drove to be there for the Alumni Breakfast. Afterwards we went to the homecoming parade and boy was it long! Lyn's little girl was such a hoot. She warmed up to the Sigma Kappa girls who were sitting in front of us and of course lots of candy was thrown in their direction. Lilly managed to score a huge amount of candy for everyone. Landon and Logan got their fair share I must say. After the parade we took the kids to meet Miah and Miguel the PBS Cartoon characters and then off to the Alumni Luncheon. By this time we were all so tired but since we had already purchased tickets to the game we thought we'd at least try to go! We stayed for the opening ceremony with the UCM Band and several other bands from high schools that all came together and performed. After the first quarter, we threw in the towel. We took all 4 of the kids to the moonwalks and let them jump the rest of their energy out b4 hiking clear across campus to where we parked. Can we say TIRED. What a day. Aside from one wedding on campus, I had not been back since I finished up my 2nd degree. That was over 5 years ago. It was amazing to be back and it felt just like home. Ahhhhh.....the days of being a college girl... Ok... back to reality! Anyway just wanted to share some pictures from the weekend. Logan and Landon were just too cute holding Lilly's hand. She looks like a little Addison from Grey's Anatomy! I think they already miss her and we just took them back to the airport this afternoon. Hopefully it won't be another 4 years b4 we see them!!! In all fairness it's our turn to travel! Oregon here we come..............hmm...we'll at least wait until summer!

 
 
 
 

UCM Homecoming Weekend at the Burg

Pics from the patch

A few shots from the patch today!

Pumpkin Patch

What a beautiful day today after 3 inches of rain yesterday! We went to the pumpkin patch and braved the muddy field. We harvested 105lbs of pumpkins, gords and squash! The boys had a blast playing on all the slides, watching the pig races and going on the hay ride! Just such an enjoyable family outing!!

A First!

A while back I went on a shopping spree at Weeds and Wildflowers and I have been wanting to do some scrapping w/ my finds....but kept putting it off. All it took was a little nudging and then I saw that Angie was hosting a challenge! It was really really good motivation! All items are from Seeing Stars Kit except the word art which is from Believing in You and the Wire word is from Playing w/ Wire....all by Weeds and Wildflowers!! Template 115 by Andrea Gold!

This was the first time that Logan stood alone with out holding on to anything. He was nervous and excited at the same time!!

I couldn't resist

Is this not the cutest thing ever. He had such a wonderful time w/ his Grandma catching worms and other bugs on Easter. I've been wanting to scrap this forever....but today I had to b/c I found the perfect kit! Bug-ing by KimB Designs and I also used her template freebie from her blog!!! ADORABLE KIT and I cannot wait to make many many more buggy layouts!

CT Call & Freebie!

We hope you will join us at www.godigitalscrapbooking.com for our Grand Opening!! Also be sure to check out the information below as we are looking for our own creative teams!

CT Call & Freebie!

Wahoo! We're up and running, with two freebies! Theresa and I both created mini kits for you (keep reading to catch the links - you don't have to participate in the CT Call to get the freebie)!!! Hope you enjoy them!



As you may know, Theresa and I (this is Amy speaking) are very new to the designing world! But as everyone knows, all designers need a great Creative Team! We're hosting our first CT call now through Sunday. Please download the free mini kits above here and here and make either one page using both kits, or one for each kit (which would make 2 total). Upload to your best gallery and link us up! You can email your links, your DST username, and your real name to: alfenner at hotmail dot com!
All information needs to be received by midnight central time on Sunday, August 5th. We will make our announcement here on or before Tuesday, August 7th! Layouts may include other designers' products, just as long as the majority of the layout is done with our designs!

Here are our CT requirements:

~ Set up a profile with Hello. This is the easiest way for us to share things with you, and will be how we get you the product.

~ Create one layout for each new product we release. This means if we happen to release two in one week (not expected), you can use both products in your layout, but you must do two (one for each product). These should be done within a week of receiving the product, and should be 90% our designs.

~ We would like your layouts to be posted in at least 4 galleries: goDigitalScrapbooking.com, digishoptalk.com, and two of your choice, one of which must allow links to our store(s). GDS and DST entries must have direct links to the product in our store (we will provide you with the links in our New Products thread with the preview when we release a product). We also ask that you post your layout to the team blog (coming soon).
Please post your gallery links in your thread so we can see what you've been up to!

~ Digishoptalk has a thread entitled CTM Enabling thread, new each day, in the chatter section. We would like each of you to post in that thread, with a preview of the product, each time we have a new release.

~ Also at digishoptalk when we release a new product we will post an announcement in the Designer Announcement forum.........we would love it if you could help us keep those bumped (we're not allowed to), and we'll provide a link to those threads in our forums here.

~ Sport our blinkies and wear them with pride!

~ Check in at our CT forums at least weekly, so we can get you information and we can all get to know each other!

Can't wait to see what you all come up with! We are designing better things everyday -- you won't be disappointed!
