Scrap Matters Speed Scrap #322

I participated in the Speed Scrap at Scrap Matters tonight. I used an old kit by Mickey B Designs and Man in the Moon Designs and did a page from my son's 3rd birthday.

Here is my page:

On a personal note - my hubby was laid off from work this week. Rough times are ahead but with prayer we will get through it.

Hope you have a GREAT weekend!

Recent Pages

I am just getting back into digi-scrapping now that Katie and I are working out a schedule. I feel a little rusty, but I am sure it will get better soon.

Here are my most recent pages:

Welcome to the World - Katie:

Katie's first Santa Visit:

Bluebonnets are blooming and we are trying to decide when (gotta be soon before they go away) we will go for our annual trip. This will be Katie's first year and with her blue eyes I am hoping to get some awesome shots to scrap with!

I have also applied for a couple CT (Creative Team) calls in hopes that I get on one. If I have a CT to make pages for I will have more of a reason to sit here and work on pages. :-D And maybe that will make me take the camera (and not my cell phone camera) out and get pics with the kids more often.

Well - have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend! I sure hope to! And if the stars align, I will get some scrapping done this weekend! I am just realizing I haven't scrap any of AJ's birthday party pics from last August.

New Direction

Well - I had my baby girl in December. She is wonderful and my son is a great big brother. I am going to take this blog in a different direction for now. I would still love to design in the future but for now I am just going to share my crafts and digital scrapping that I do now and then.

I have re-vamped my background in the hopes to take this in a new direction too. The background picture was taken by my husband in 2007. The flowers are Texas Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrushes and some other wildflowers. There may be some more changes in the near future, as I have more time and ability to play with some features here on Blogger.

Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.

My store

Hey there anyone that reads my blog - I will no longer have a store at Divine digital as soon as they remove me. My decision has come about after lots of thinking and having to make choices at home. Right now my children, family, home, and real life responsibilities are more important.

What a laugh....

Gee, I thought I would have my alpha up by now but of course it isn't. Gardening, morning sickness and tiredness are kicking my butt and design time. I am going through some of my old kits too to see what I might offer up on DD for sale. As my own worst critic, I am unsure if I should put them up, but we will see. I have so many ideas for new kits and I have been super busy on my new CT.

Our baby is trucking along. We had a scare about a month ago with some spotting but we just saw the doctor this past week and baby is developing just fine and has a very strong heartbeat. Our next decision is if we will find out the gender or not.....

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Lots of changes happening...

Relax, I am not closing my store. Haha. I do have some great plans for some kits and stuff to go in my store hopefully soon. I have an Alpha I have been working on that I hope to finish soon and get up in the store. I also need to get some of my older kits up for sale too. I have missed a couple months of Desktop Freebies. I am sorry for those that look forward to them. Just when I think life will slow down, it speeds up and I have my hands fuller than ever.

Mickey B Designs - I used to be on her CT. She has since retired and I couldn't think of a better reason. She is expecting her second child very soon.

I recently found out that I am pregnant with our second. After 2 years and 2 months of trying, our prayers were finally answered. Despite some spotting scares, we are still pregnant and hoping baby continues to stick and we have a healthy baby in December!

And lastly, I am a part of a new CT! Exciting huh? Un-Leashed-Scraps has added me to her new CT and I am so excited to get to work with her awesome kits! She has a great freebie to go along with her Fantasy Garden kit that you can find the download link on her blog, here! She has some more great kits coming soon, so be sure to stop back soon and see a glimpse of what you could do with them. Her CT deadline isn't up yet either, so be sure to check that out on her blog too!

Desktop Freebies!

Don't worry, I am still doing the Desktop Freebies. They are now found in my store at Divine Digital. You can go to my store here: Sava Scraps by Christina

I try to upload a new one every month. February 2010's is there now!

Divine Digital is back!

Well, actually it has been back for awhile. I have been so busy that I am just now getting my stuff back in the store and I have lots of plans for the future (some free too). But in the meantime, please head back over and give things a look over and of course buy! :D Have a great weekend!

MickeyB Designs CT Call

Please check out the above CT Call for Mickey B Designs. To see her designs, check out her store here. Best of luck!

Sorry it is late...

So sorry the desktop is late - I will get it going this weekend. I have been so busy with my new store that it slipped my mind. I haven't even done my own desktop yet. Keep an eye out for it!

My first Speed Scrap

I am hosting my first Speed Scrap at HDDS. Pending the interest in this one will depend on if the second one will be canceled or not.























At the top of the hour I will post the first instruction on the HDDS Challenge board and in the Chat room. Every 10 minutes I will post the instructions in both places, so feel free to do whichever you like. Please be aware that the chat room requires a separate sign up.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

EDIT: Second Speed Scrap on the 22nd is cancelled due to lack of interest/participation in the last one.

Birthday Freebie

Well, today is my birthday, and here is my promised Freebie! I decided to do a small set of Birthday Wordarts for ya'll! Hope you enjoy them!

Enjoy!

Mark your calendars

On Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at 2pm CST I am hosting a speed scrap at HDDS despite my store closing there.

Also, on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 9pm CST I am hosting another speed scrap. If you don't know how they work - you get 7 sets of instructions - one every 10 minutes and then at the end of the hour you have another hour to finish and post it in the gallery. Once it is posted in the gallery, you will get a message from me with a special prize.

Oh - and be on the look out - I am working on getting into another store and maybe in another month or so a second store. :D Might wait on the second store until after the new year. Might really depend on if I get pregnant with #2 or not.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at my speed scrap!

HDDS Closing

My new store is closing after just a couple weeks of me being there. I am hoping it isn't because of me, LOL. Anyways, everything is 50% off so check it out - you can get some pretty great deals that way!
