Pumpkin Scraps

A good friend of mine is planning on launching her own CT call. I've encouraged her in her designing for ages, encouraged her to apply where she is now, and been bugging her forever about just when was she going to start her own CT, cause I'm determined to be the inaugoral member, lol! Well that's coming any day now, and where she's at doesn't allow their store CTs and designers' personal CTs mix. Being on her CT means a LOT to me, she's one of two people who got me into digi-scrapping in the first place, and she's been there for me in so many ways.

But what makes me kinda sad, is resigning from The Daily Scrap. I was there 7 months, made lots of friends. And I plan on hanging around there still. But that CTs not mixing rule, gotta follow my heart.

That it never just rains, it pours?

I applied to several new CTs, before I saw the email about Miki. Sometimes I just check out the calls, to see what's out there. Saw 2 CTs I'd be interested in, but thought they were long shots. Wrong on the first! I am now on Kari Hentzelt's CT, for Steppedonalego Digital Designs, very soon to be launched at the new Distressed Diva on November 3rd!

Yeah, I said I applied to several. I guess we'll see what happens with the other one, but that's at least a week off.

Never really commented much, not going to start now. But good has come of it, a former fellow CT member mentioned another CT she was on, a designer who was "a sweetheart" and might be willing to pick up some new members if she liked our galleries. Miki Ferkul of Microferk Designs. I checked out some of her stuff, and it's gorgeous! Just lovely rich colours, love it! Ripal has been drooling over her stuff for ages too, so we both say "Let's go for it!" Well Miki liked both of our galleries, so now we're on! Miki designs for Scrapbook Bytes, Scrapbook Elements, and Scrap Outside the Box.

Yeah, I'm so excited! I'm a "Flaire Girl" for Maggie Lamarre, who's been designing for oscraps, and she's about to launch her own Dragon Flaire Studios this coming Monday!

There will be a launch chat at DigiShopTalk, please join us there! Clicking on the ad will take you to the calendar description, and the chat room link ...

Okay, so I took my time getting organized. Didn't help that September was a crazy month, what with the kids going back to school, and Guiding/Scouting starting up again too. We're going 3 nights a week!

Anywho, I finally clued in that I had access to the NDISB CT forum. And finally found an addy to email my CT agreement to. And popped in and introduced myself. And begged for one of those custom CT blinkies that Theresa was making ... see my new NDISB blinkie over at the right!

Yeap, totally, officially a Natural Babe!

And I love it! And hey, it's a good reminder for me to go through some of the recent Kudos Team hits and share some love myself! My Daniella layout at The Daily Scrap was hit on October 4th.

Denise Bailey had a gorgeous Sunflower kit out this summer. One of the CTs I didn't make *sniff* *sniff* but hey I'm delightfully busy with Sue, Maggie, Keely and TDS so I guess I can't cry too loud, lol! Anyways, I bought the kit but something funky happened and I never got a download link. Kept going back and looking, it never appeared. Finally got my act together and emailed Denise. Looks like zen cart hiccuped. I'd only paid $3.00 for it since I'd had a $2.50 coupon. But as an apology not only did she refund my $3.00 she also gave me a $10 coupon! Even better, she's having a sale on right now! So not only did I get my Sunflower kit, I also picked up some other stuff too! A very pretty purple and blue A Hint of Lavender kit, and her current monthly freebie Pressed Flowres mini kit which has a very beautiful, delicate lace. I also got some elements ... her Frame It elements, fun Price It bar-coded tags. And how could I resist something called Rusty Elements?! I also picked up some funky Paint Splatters from her brushes. And since everything was 50% off, I got ALL that on my coupon!! Check out all my stuff!
