Pixelscrapper Blog-train Winter Arabesque

Hello there and Happy New Year!  To celebrate the new year I joined, once again, the Pixelscrapper blog-train with a beautiful collection of kits called Winter Arabesque.  I have been having a problem with the Admin end of the Dezines2amaze website so I had to post it as a designer in the website.  Just a little different.  The direct download address was not added initially and since I can not get in to add it, I am asking that you download the kit from the store this time.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.  Here is the preview for my submission:

You can get it HERE at D2A.  Enjoy!

Join us all at Pixelscrapper for the blog-train HERE

Merry Christmas! A freebie gift 4 You.

Good morning and Merry Christmas.  I have made a little kit for you all to enjoy. You will need to log in at Dezines2Amaze to swoop it up. xoxox

You can get it Here at D2A.

National Christmas Card Day 12/9

December 9th is "Christmas Card Day."  Henry Cole created the first Christmas Cards in 1843.  Why not let your children make the Christmas Cards this year? If you have an easy design studio, set a teenager loose with your Digi-program.  For younger children, go through your stash and find stickers, elements, and glitters to decorate blank cards that you may already have, if not, visit your local craft store.  Don't count on getting out of there with only the blank cards if you take your children, or even your husband and/or significant other.  I can go alone and drop $10+ by just breathing.

For just about the same cost as store-bought cards, you can put together a card center that will keep children busy for hours.

Over at Dezines2Amaze  We have quite a few Christmas kits with all sorts of color pallets and themes. At this point, I believe, they are all free too.  Elements can be printed out and used on hard copy cards too.  If you cut 2 or more of them you can layer them and create dimension.  Dimension creates shadows and we all love shadows.

Make sure you take the time to look at the paper packs for other kits.  Coraline by Ann Onimous has some beautiful elements and papers!

I noticed that Kreations by Sparky has some 4th of July kits with great papers too!

The bows and the papers in the Wild Blues kit by Ann Ominous are great!

I found one more Christmas kit that I made last year that I haven't put in the store yet too!  What? lol

I have a few ideas for cards that I have Pinned in my Pinterest board called Merry & Bright.  My BFF and SIL turned me on to Pinterest a few months ago.  Love it!  She has like a zillion boards to look through too.  Fun!

Every week Cami and I get together to have coffee, check our e-mails, browse the internet and get our creative juices going.  She is my biggest cheerleader, and I her's.  I love her.  Although Christmas card day is on the 9th, Cami and I can't hook up until the 10th, bummer!  But, when it comes to Christmas cards, this is definitely one that is "better late, than never".

Pixelscrapper Blog-train The Nutcracker !

The Nutcracker is such a beautiful ballet.  I hope my hand-drawn characters display the mood that I was trying to create with each one.  The Ballerina with total grace, the Nutcracker as regal as always and the Mouse in his swashbuckling ways. I have joined dozens of designers for the Pixelscrapper Blog-train.  The main depot is HERE.
You will find this submission to the blog-train at the D2A STORE HERE, and as usual, there is a link beside the kit preview to copy and paste if you do not want to pick up any other freebies from the store.
Secondly, there is a new Quickpage over at the d2a facebook PAGE HERE under the fan freebie button.
Right here on the blog I have an Add-On gift that you can download right HERE.
Now for the previews:

WoW! That's a lot of Links. Have fun! xoxox Beth

Special offer! Freebie Kitchyroo Kit on Facebook

Since we are painfully close to 500 "likes" on D2A's Facebook page, I decided to make a special kit just for you.  It is called Kitchyroo.  Its a whimsical kit full of kitchen goodies.  The ice cream and watermelon?  Really?  Now?  It's freezing outside.  YES!  NOW!  Goodies are goodies whatever time of the year.   Here is a preview:

Please come see us on Facebook to get it for free. HERE

I decided to feel good.

I don't know if you know that I suffer from Deep Clinical Depression.  Many of you that know me on a personal level, do.  Recently I went to my sister-in-laws for our regular Wednesday girl day and she had noticed that on Facebook, I have been posting and re posting alot about depression lately.  I have. The funny thing about it is that she asked me... are you under warrantee for this? lol  She since has SWORN that she meant medical coverage. Our Wednesdays are both fun and insane!  lol
Yes, I am under warrantee for this. lol  Depression runs deep in my family and even Bi-polar disease touches 3 generations in a row.  I sometimes wonder if it goes farther back than that too, but we were not aware of it then.  I think back then, it was just called melancholy.  Thank the Lord for medications these days that address these and other depressive disorders.  (Getting us to take them on a regular basis is another thing).
So, this brings me back to the reason why I decided to post this today.  Today, I decided to feel good.  I must admit it does help.  I have gotten more accomplished today than I usually do in regards to house and home work.  I think I am pretty much worn out right now though, but I will spruce up before John gets home.
So...lol  I think I have earned a few minuets to sit and chat with you.  I made a little "card" the other day with my feelings at the moment and it seems to have touched quite a few of my friends and family.  I have decided to share it with you.  Do with it what you feel fit.  I hope it gives you some insight or validation to how depression feels. xoxox Beth   Right click & save. <3

Pixel Scrapper Blog Train - Our House

It's been a whole month since my last post I think.  I do so love the Pixel Scrapper blog trains and try every month to participate.  This month has been especially busy for Hubby and I as we are in the search for our second "Our Home". (If you know what I mean) lol  This makes this month's blog train very special and goes along with our journey.  Here is a preview of the kit I made to celebrate this train.

Just a closer peek at the papers.

As usual you can find this kit HERE. If you choose to decline to make an account at D2A there is a link next to the kit preview for a direct download.  Make sure you go to PixelScrapper ---> Here to grab all of the fun kits that coordinate with this one. xoxox Beth

Too Cool and Ready for School

I know that most of our kids/gkids have already started school, but I wanted to make a little kit to celebrate with them.  I heard that the one favorite thing new kindergarten and first graders were excited about to start the new year was their backpack.  Cute huh?  So I made a super fun and flashy backpack to add to this mini-kit.  Here is a peek.

I hope the pink straps won't deter any of you from using it with our little boy's pages too.  Feel free to add a touch of orange to the straps and there you go.  To do this, take the eye dropper tool and select the zipper-pull color.  Then use the paint bucket to fill in the straps.  Zoom WAAAAY in and make sure that you get all of the striped doodles filled in too.  Save the new backpack to your kit and there you go!  You have made your first element yourself.  Easy Peasy, Right?  YES!  Here is a peek at the whole kit:

You may recognize the colors from our most recent PixelScrapper Blog-Train, At the Fair.  This means that you should have a zillion papers and elements that match! (I did this on purpose lol).  There is nothing like having a new kit and gobbs of options to choose from.  So are you too cool and ready for school?  Do you know someone who is?  I hope you enjoy this kit then.  I have priced it at just 99c which should be affordable for the most of us. You can find this kit and lots of others, right HERE at Dezines2Amaze.  Browse around a bit and put a kit or two in your basket.  Most of them are free and the rest are well worth the money.  If you use it to make a cute layout, I would love to see it.  xoxox Thank you. Beth (Digital Cache')

Fun new kits in the store!

Yesterday I finally had time to post the 2 newest kits to the store.  Kreations by Sparky has a new kit in the store called  SUMMERTIME  <--- click here. It is super cute. <3

Not a huge kit but super fun.  Everything that Lori Cobb (KBS) creates is also CU friendly. Nice!

I also put a new kit into the store called POTTY PARTY. <--- click here. LOL.  As you can guess, this is a kit designed to scrap those cute potty training pix that I have of my grandchildren.  I hope you can use it too. It was definitely fun to make.

I'm not sure why I decided to make it PU as I created everything in the kit. Humm... Well if you like it and would like to use it for CU, zap me a message and I will send you the TOU and written permission to do so.

Lastly, if you missed the add on papers for the Garden Party blog train that I gave as a freebie on Facebook, I did put them in the store for just 99c.  If you like them, go get them   Enjoy and xoxox Beth

Get them HERE

Wow! 20,000+ page views. Thank you!

You guys are great!  Thank you for your support. xoxox Beth

New Kits in the Store

Hello there! I have a few things to be excited about. First and foremost, Thank you to Lori Cobb for helping me out with the Facebook account which I deleted myself from. lol  Now on to the fun stuff... The Pixel Scrapper blog train has been fun and I hope you were able to get alot of fun new kits there.  I believe that there were around 40 designers involved there. What a turnout!  We at D2A still have those pretty papers for a Facebook freebie through this month so make sure you go over there to get them.  Click Here to hop over there, but come back for the rest.  I know some of you know that I have Southern Roots but was transplanted to Washington State when I was in elementary school.  What you may not know is that I have family dotted all over down there still.  Here is a little map of my Southern Roots.

My son James and his family are living in San Antonio, TX and my dear friend and partner in crime Lori Cobb lives in Dallas.  My mother and father were raised in Little Rock AR and I have an aunt and cousins still there.  My father is buried in Clarksville, AR with a good number of my ancestors.  My childhood home is in Picayune, Mississippi and my daughter and her family live in Grand Ridge, Florida.  I would say that even though I'm not there myself I would still say that I am Southern.  This brings me to one of the new kits in the store.  This map of the Confederate states is an element in the new kit called  "Southern Grace". Take a  look.

I love the colors and the elements are so feminine.  The few pictures that I took from the public stock were hand picked to honor the South.  I feel good about the feel of the kit.  

The next kit is just for fun.  I am guilty of having a couple of pair of  Mom Jeans in my closet along with my skinny jeans.  We are bound to want to scrap those funny pictures. Here's a look:

Patches, iron-ons, labels, jeans, zippers and pockets, what more could you want?  If you would like to use part or the whole of either of these kits for CU, just contact me and I will give you the terms.  I hope you love the new kits and you can find them Here for the Jeans and Here for Southern Grace.  xoxox Beth
