New Blog!!!

January 4th, 2010

Oh I am sooooo in love with my new bloggy!!!! Becca did it for me and she totally outdid herself!! She used my favorite Creashen’s kit Anne (with an E). One of my fave kits of all time! I think I have used it 4 times or so which I don’t do very often so that’s crazy! To celebrate my new fancy blog I thought I would give away a little freebie. :)

You can DL this template —>HERE<— or —>HERE<—.

I am also working on getting a newsletter up and going which you can subscribe to HERE. You might want to subscribe because eventually I will be giving out subscriber only discounts and freebies!

I think that’s it for now! I will be updating my regular blog sometime tonight with my latest piccies, so be on the lookout for that! Oh and the code GOp365 is still good for 20% off my P365 temps!

Project 365

December 30th, 2009

It’s that time of year! Time to start thinking about Project 365! For those of you that don’t know what it is, or want more info you can google it and will find a lot. The basic concept is to take a photo a day for one year. This will help document your everyday life as opposed to just taking snapshots of your cute kids. Sometimes kids aren’t quite as cute when they have gotten a marker and drawn all over their face or a sibling (totally happened here recently!), but that is something I bet you would love to laugh about in years to come! If you are going to be doing this project the best thing to do is to start a plan now. how are you going to document your photos? Are you going to scrap daily, weekly, monthly, etc??? I have been told that it is much less overwhelming to have a plan in advance!

I have some Project 365 Jumpers that could help you with your pages. These are mostly set up for weekly pages, but you can add photos, take away, etc. in order to suit your needs!!

I have a special coupon for those of you who read my blog..if there is anyone…lol! Use the code: GOp365 and get 20% off of this set of templates.

I have a special blog set up to dedicate to my P365. You can see it –>HERE<—. I plan on taking a laid back approach to my project. I will mostly be focusing on honing my photography skills and I will be scrapping as I feel like it. I might even go the route of a story board for each week. I just want to make sure I go into it with ZERO pressure or I will totally be setting myself up for failure!

And…I know you guys are all excited about the Book of Me! I have heard a lot of talk about it around town. ;) I will tell you that if you stay tuned there might be something super special coming up to help you make your book come together much fast and easier than you thought! *wink wink* If I were you I would stay tuned to my store….just sayin!

Oh and one more thing! I don’t know if anyone does the One Little Word or not. You can read more about this idea –>HERE<– on Ali Edwards blog. I have not chosen my word as of yet, but I hope to soon. Let me know if you guys decide on one!!!

Merry Christmas!!

December 26th, 2009

So I am a day late, but I am here none the less! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We had a great day and a good week spent with family which is always nice if you ask me! Presents and yummy food always makes for an awesome time! The kids had a blast and I think we did pretty well with the gifts. They were entertained all day anyways!

In celebration of Christmas I am having a sale through tomorrow (but you know me! I am very forgetful so it’s likely that the sale will be up all weekend!)

Have you heard about the new site Digi.Scrap.Friends.?! It’s is so fun!! It’s an online community for Digi Scrappers to connect with their friends. It’s just so nice to be able to view layouts by friends. Plus there is a Twitter like feature as well so you can chat it up! You can join my design group as well! ooh! I also have a Facebook Group and a Twitter page to help you stay up to date with my latest releases and sales. :)

Lastly..I suppose it’s about time I posted some pages eh??? Here are some of my lastest! Enjoy!! :)

Lots of fun Stuff!

October 12th, 2009

Lots of stuff going on around here lately..in the digiworld at least. Home has been pretty much the same. :) Everyone is healthy and happy which is all I can ask!!

I had a new template pack in the store last Thursday and I was pretty happy with this pack! A few of those pages had been among my favorites….which doesn’t always happen!

crystalivesay-jumpers21-24-tp_LRG

There will be another new pack this week, so keep your eye on MY STORE on Thursday! Thank you to everyone that has been super supportive of my little templates. It really is amazing and just means the world to me!! <3

Also After 5 is turning one this week!! They updated the site with a new look and with a new designer…possibly more coming??? I can’t tell! But you definitely want to hang out there to keep up on all the happenings! There will be fab challenges in the forum as well! Amy is having a CT call too! It’s a fab opportunity!

New Stuff

October 2nd, 2009

Hey everyone! I am a day late I know, but new at TDC yesterday I had one small package of 4 templates.

crystallivesay-jumpers17-20-tp_LRG

Image is linked. You have to see the pages that the TDC CT made for me and some of my girls made for me. They are sooo awesome!! It’s sooo fun to see how these are being used!

And also the new Artisan notebook is out. You can buy it a few places..but here’s the TDC link. My first page as a Color Cutie is in there and I got to pick this months colors. You girls that know me will not be surprised to know that I chose pink as the color to highlight this month. I will post my page tomorrow, but I was quite pleased with how it turned out which doesn’t happen often!!

That’s all for now though I think! I have to go grocery shopping…bleck! :( I will talk to you soon!!

Thank you so much..and ramblings

September 29th, 2009

I just want to thank everyone that made my grand opening at The Digichick such a success! I was really amazed at all the love and support I got and it means the world to me! It was really fun to hear what people thought about my stuff and to get some feedback. :) Sorry it took me so long to get out here to say thanks! I am so behind….

For those of you who missed it you may pick up some templates that I made at The Digichick now. You can buy sets of four in individual packs or you can save some money and pick up the bundle pack which is quite a steal! I won’t be able to release a brand new bundle every single week though…so don’t hold out waiting for them for too long! :D

In other news I think the sickies are moving out of here finally! Ezra had a nasty little flu bug which lasted one day and really made a mess of the house. :( A bit of a cold was going around as well, but I really think everyone is on the mend! YAY! I hate this time of year and when you have little ones it seems to just keep circulating sometimes, which is just not cool. We have plans to hang with my sis on Wednesday and go to the pumpkin patch which should be tons of fun! I love this time of year just for those kinds of things and the colors! sooo pretty! It’s been really chilly here lately too and Garret was going to go camping with the boys, but we have no idea if that will work out now or not. I am so glad that the hubby is off work for around 8-10 days! It’s been so long since he has had that much time off and I am sooo glad. We all needed a break from the routine a bit and some nice daddy time. :)

And Fall TV is back! What do you all watch? I have to say that I have been watching Heroes since it first started with Garret and I can barely stand this show anymore! Am I the only one (minus my sis who I have already talked about this with, lol)??? It’s sooo annoying and doesn’t even make sense half the time anymore. Constantly jumping around, changing the whole story line, adding new characters, etc. It’s really become quite awful. As long as Garret watches I will try to watch with him though. :) As far as actual good TV I am glad that Top Chef and So You Think You Can Dance are on. Top Chef is expecially one of my faves! I did watch the pilot of the new ABC show Flash Forward and it is ok…too soon to tell really, but I will keep watching for now. :) What do you guys all watch? Maybe I missing something! ;)

And….what do you think of my new blog look?! I love it! The colors are perfectly happy and sunny which is exactly what I was going for now that it’s getting cold! :) The blog pack is by Flergs. She has a few more to choose from too!

Anyways..that’s all for now. I am too lazy to post pages at the moment. :) I will be back soon with those!! Later peeps!

Just ramblings :)

September 16th, 2009

Here I am! I do exist and I am actually blogging! YAY! not much going on around here..there’s a carnival in my backyard. For real. I will get pics tomorrow night for all to see! :D It is literally in my backyard so no sleep for kiddos until like Monday. YAY<—sarcasm there. The kids are super excited though so hopefully it will be fun! They have all kinds of food and rides and live music and stuff. Fun stuff! We all know what this means to a scrapbooking mom though right?! PICTURES! Woot! I actually paid money for THIS kit months ago just in preparation for the carnival that I knew was coming! Sadly though…you will not see my page until like November. So don’t hold your breathe waiting for it!  lol!

And now…as to why you will not see that page until November…well, I am not a contributing artist person for the Digital Artisan Guild. For the November issue I have a page in mind just need the pictures so I am waiting until the carnival. :) I am super excited about this opportunity though because I have never been a big part of a magazine like that. I am part of the In Scrapping Color team where we focus on a color for each issue and then we teach you how to incorporate colors and convey feelings in your scrapping just by using certain colors and different accents. Should be fun and I had fun with the October color and my page! Which you will see before too long!

In home news we are all healthy around here! I want to thank everyone for their prayers for my sweet Gabey. He is all well and we haven’t had anymore troubles. All of his tests came back just fine too. We have started homeschooling and it definitely has it’s trying moments, but it’s going ok. I am hoping that as we go he will learn to pick up and retain more info, but at only 5 I am trying very hard to not be too hard on him. The other two little ones do….ok…while we are schooling. They have good moments and bad ones, lol! I just hope that they will at least become accustomed to the routine so that it won’t be a huge thing when they start doing school as well. Fun times ahead I am sure!!

Lastly…before I post some recent pages….I wanted to say that I have some super duper exciting news!!! However I cannot tell you yet! lol! Give it….mmm…maybe a week and then I will spill the beans!!!! :)

Thought I would share

September 1st, 2009

Hey everyone I decided today that I would try my hand at templates and make a few based off of my own pages. :) I thought I would share my first one with you guys! I hope you like it ok and if you download I would love if you would let me know what you think!

Here’s the template preview:

Template-1-preview

You can download the template HERE or you should be able to click on the preview it will take you to the DL page. My friend Leslie (1girl1boy) came up with the name of Jumpers because templates are a jumpstart for your page right?! She’s so clever isn’t she??! You can see the page that this was based off of HERE.

Anyways…thanks sooo much and I hope you like it! Please let me know if you have kind of issues!
