Introducing my TWO NEW SISTERS and other Info

Well HOWDY Everyone!!!

It's been a LONG ole week here with the Dude!! I have several interesting tidbits of information to share with you today. Let me see, where to start? Well, let's go with the events in order. First off, I really want to introduce you to two of my newest "Sisters". . . "Careless Whispers & Silent Whispers" created and concieved from a very special color scheme, these two lovely ladies will make you NOT ONLY -- WANT to have them, but MUST have them. These pastel-icious beauties are perfect for any type of Spring, Anniversary, Family, Mother's Day, or Special Event in your scrapping memories. You can view a preview of them below.

Secondly, we have the DUDE's FwF (Fun with Fonts) Challenge this week. You are not going to want to miss this one. Why? You ask. SIMPLE . . .it's the Posting Bonus, exclusive ONLY to FwF it is coordinating elements to my new scrapkits, "Careless & Silent Whispers". Yes, Kimmi Stewart is NOT the ONLY PURPLE LOVER.

It's truly amazing how this all worked out and I have my two new sisters to thank. I'll introduce them to you in just a moment. What started with 139 elements (approximately, because I did have to create a few more things after the sorting process) ended up being two new scrapkits, a posting bonus for my FwF Challenge, 2 freebies and a Posting Bonus for my **Embellish It** Chat and Challenge, and 5 SCRUMPTIOUS GOODIES just for YOU to be given out here on my Blog. Hummm. . .but, alas I digress. . . Where was I? OH YEAH. . . the Chats and Challenges.

Next, on Thursday night, February 7th at 11:00 EST it's **Embellish It** with MOI -- pop in, say hey, grab the new challenge list and TWO FREEBIES. These are also exclusive only to **EI** and coordinate with "Careless & Silent Whispers".

But WAIT -- there's MORE!!! For ONLY the additional expense of traveling to my Blog, I will be despensing 5 -- YOU BET, FIVE sets of elements that also coordinate with "Careless & Silent Whispers". WOOOOO HOOOOOEEEYYYY!!! Just HOW in the WORLD does he do it??? I don't know, but if any of you find out, please let me know.

Now, before I get to the pretty pictures. . .I have ONE MORE piece of EXCITING information to share. Next week, Monday, February 11th will be a SPECIAL night in the 3S Chatroom. For all of you "Misty Morning" LOVERS, the Fabulous Bon Beechler and I will be hosting a SURPRISE chat and will be giving away a complete 4 x 6 brag book, PLUS detailed tutorials of how to use them. I believe there's a couple of EXTRA GOODIES that coordinate with it (a possible COUPON for the "Misty Morning" scrapkit?). I will be posting complete coverage sometime before the weekend. So, stay tuned. . .I even have previews (see below)!!!

Well??? What do you think? VERY PRETTY SISTERS, Huh??? Here's 'Silent's matching Ribbons & Bows add-on. Let me know if you think that 'Careless' needs a set of them to match her?

Now, I realize this is getting to be a L O N G Read for you...so I'll keep the jabber to a minimum. I think you'll catch the drift of what's going on.

So PRETTY in PINK!!!! Now HOW Girly is that????

Now, as for WHEN "Careless & Silent" will HIT the STORE??? If all goes well (with ISP issues <--- a WHOLE nuther story) then I expect to have it released on Sunday, February 10th. Wish me well. Time to pick out a new color scheme and get to WORK!!! Hummmm. . .I'm wondering what kind of response I would get from YOU - OUT THERE - about color schemes or HECK, even kit ideas??? I need to get a suggestion box for this Blog. Anyone know of that type of thing? I'll have to do a search, I guess - with GOOGLE!!! WOO HOOOEEEYYYY!!!

Ok, I think that's about it for tonight. WHAT?? I FORGOT SOMETHING??? DOH!!! Of course I didn't. I wouldn't leave your mouth all moist with the taste of a little "Careless or Silent" without giving you a sample taste. (Word is there are 5 juicy bites)

Some Progress, Yet - A Slight Set Back!!

Hola!! Everyone,

It's been another busy day with the DUDE. As I wind down from the day's activities I wanted to show you a few more morsels from "Silent Whispers". As usual, when creating a new kit, I always save creating tags until the very last thing. Well almost - I've this slight feeling that this kit will hit the 150 mark in elements - but WHO knows for sure???!!!

I'm toying with the thought of creating some beaded hat pins, because I think the kit NEEDS them!!! So, If all goes well tomorrow afternoon, I can get a few of those created. If not, then I can get everything all broken down into 2 complete kits, with an add-on; then STILL have some coordinating pieces to dish out to "Fun with Fonts" and "**Embellish It**" WOO HOOO!!! I'm hoping to PULL THIS ONE OFF!!!

Here I am rambling. . .and honestly don't have the time to! It's already 12:30 CST and at LEAST 30 minutes past my Slumberville rest stop!!

Any way, I almost forgot -- about saving the tags for last??? Well, I did and I was so involved that I created a whole new tag template set for personal or commercial use. There are 6 - PSD Tag Files and I created 24 different tags with them to include in PNG format. I'll be adding them to the store sometime this week, hopefully before the weekend.

Here's some images for your viewing pleasure:



and the new set of "Sm'ancy Tags":



I have several more commercial products in the work stages and a new "Goodie Box #2" and about 5 kits in progress...WHEW...talk about staying BUSY!!

Until later. . .

DUDE UP

Long, LONG, LONGGGG Workdays!!!

Hola!!! Everyone, I'm sure you're probably wondering where I've been? No WORRIES!! I've just been designing my eyeballz OUT!!! Well. . .That is a bit over-the-EDGE!!!

Currently the scrapkit that I've been working on the past two days has a total of 32 exquisitely designed papers!!! The last I counted I had 108 elements, HOLY SMOELY!! I know that's a LOT of elements, however, I was thinking of you all in mind as I was in the creative process.

Sometime, we'll get into a bit more of how I process things to create the scrapkits I've developed recently. WHEW!!! I could fill up a webpage and BORE you to tears in the process. Perhaps at a later period of time and when it's NOT 3 AM!!!

I did do a LO that I'd like to show you, it's actually a QP that I've popped one of my favorite Lily photos into. Un-named, however it features items from my new 'sister' kits --
"Careless Whispers & Silent Whispers"

I also got a little carried away with the Ribbon & Bow Add-on Collection. I look at it this way -- I personally would ADORE having ONE from EACH Paper and Color in the kit. Wouldn't YOU??

Here's a preview of the "Coming Soon. . .from Osten":

As I get a little closer to packaging and zipping things up I will have some mouth-watering morsels for you all to enjoy.

Thanks for visiting. Now it's off to SLUMBERLAND. And I'll hear it from Missa Monna when I finally arrive online about 8am this morning! *STICKING OUT TONGUE*

Until then. . .
