Layout of the Week 3/25!!

The winner of this week's LOTW is tomosia! I found this great layout over at Stuff to Scrap. Click the layout to go leave her some love! She used the kit "Let it Snow"-flake by Misty! I really love the paper blocks and the stitching!

Remember if you do any layouts with Misty's designs, post them in the galleries out in the scrap world and your layout might be chosen for Layout of the Week!!

Also, if you are not a fan of Misty O'Brien Designs on Facebook, become one now so you don't miss out on any of the fun and freebies!!

And don't forget Misty's Stuff to Scrap store is closing at the end of the month! All products (excluding glitter styles) are 50% off, so grab them now!!

A Few Reminders and Some News!

I will be going on vacation this coming weekend. The family and I are going west for a week to visit my sister and take the kids to do some fun things while it's Ian's spring break. We will be getting started a little early this week by heading around town to do some geocaching!

Anyway, a few reminders:

1) My CT call ends tomorrow night! If you've been wanting to join my already fabulous CT this is your chance!

2) My store at STS is closing and most products are 50% off. Some items may even be retiring. Last day will be March 31st.

3) My store at Funky Playground Designs opens on April 1st! I have a brand new kit ready to go and it will only be available at FPD.

If you're already a Facebook Fan, I sent out a freebie to you this evening. Facebook seems to have a little bit of a delay so the updates are showing up in your inbox just yet. This freebie is an add on to my new kit. Here's a preview of the add on.

Gingerscraps has a new magazine coming out, for which I am the editor :). Go to the Gingerscraps blog and sign up to receive the newsletter so you don't miss out on GS freebies and fun! (Scroll down towards the bottom on the right hand side to find the newsletter sign up box).

And of course, become a Facebook Fan! I do random giveaways and freebies and it's one of the best ways to stay up to date on news. You can also follow me on Twitter :)

The Creative Divas

>> Saturday, March 20, 2010 – Dana, The Creative Divas

Hello Adriana here and I have another Diva for you to meet.

Here is our Dana!

Dana (or Scrappingirl around digiland :) )
Idaho
Married to John for 8 1/2 years and mother Savannah who is 6 1/2 and Landon who is 4 1/2

How long have you been digi-scrapping?
About 1 year.

Are you a scrapper, designer or both?
Just a scrapper... really don't have a clue about the designing end!

How many hours a week (on average) do you spend scrapping?
Oh my goodness... way too many. I would say probably 10 or more!

Which programs do you use to make your layouts?
PhotoShop Elements 7.0

How would you describe your scrapping style?
I don't know that I have a real "style" I generally use more than one picture and I like to journal. I like my layouts to tell a story and document a memory!

Which scrap forum do you visit the most?
Stuff to Scrap and Gingerscraps

5 things you love:
1. My family 2. Playing softball 3. Reading 4. Traveling 5. Eating out!

5 things that bother you:
1. People who lie 2. Being late (in myself and others) 3. Whiny kids 4. Arrogance 5. Slow drivers!! :)

What is your Misty's favorite product?
I love Everyday Happenings! It is so versatile and works for just about any kind of layout!!

Here are some great pages made by Dana.

Multnomah Falls:Kit is Fort Wilderness by Misty Template by Scraps 'N Pieces

Bedtime Story: Kit is Everyday Happenings by Misty and Spinky Dink Scraps

Siblings and Friends: Kit is In the Emerald Spotlight by Misty

Store Closing! 50% off most products!

Yes, I am closing my store at Stuff to Scrap. It's been a great run and the owner and designers are fantastic. I have other ventures on the horizon and needed to prioritize and downsize a bit. My time management is terrible! LOL (I will still be selling at Gingerscraps, I am not leaving the design world yet! : )

At Stuff to Scrap you can snag almost my entire store for 50% off. The only exclusions are my CU Mega Glitters and collab kits/accessories.

This offer ends March 31st and after that, my store at Stuff to Scrap will be closed.

Go grab any kits you've been dying to get as some may be retired and never brought back!

A Friday Freebie...

Just a little late! It was my Granddaughters birthday and my life was crazy and I forgot to post! I will do better in the future!! So what is today's freebie??

A desktop calendar for you. this was made with Misty O'Brien's collab with Spinky Dink Designs and is called Everyday Happenings. I have included monthly calendars that I made so that your desktop calendar is usuable any month you want to use it!
