Added to Life-Scrappers Today

I'm at the computer today. Rah-Rah!! It seems like forever. I had heard this flu was bad, but two and a half weeks of not wanted to do anything but sleep. Yuk! I can't stand not being able to accomplish something every single day. Here are a couple goodies that I just uploaded to my store at Life-Scrappers.

Here is the promised freebie. Since I've been working a lot with raffia lately, I thought I'd give you the first little wreath that I made. Just click the preview to download.

Talk to you soon!

Raffia Bow

As I've been working on my own personal designer toolbox, I decided to add this little to your collection. I've been in bed with the flu/pneumonia and playing with some raffia to scan to help pass the time. There will be more to come. Just click the preview to download. (Shadow on preview only)

Autumn Fest

Just because I couldn't go without giving one more thing for the month of October, here is the link to another SAS entry I did for the competition. I always loved the tricycle hayride. I am hoping to be back at the computer soon. This flu has knocked me down a lot more than I expected.

Just click the preview to download Autumn Fest.

Fall Pumpkintime

The kit I've been promising - added yesterday to my store at Life-Scrappers. After being a part of the competition at Stone Accents Studio, I realized how great a coordinating color kit can be. Although I love all things vintage, there is also something great about pieces that can go with everything. So lately, I've been expanding my horizons and trying new things.

Of course, I'm always trying new things. My dad always taught my brother and I that "you don't know that you can't do something unless you try it first. You'll usually find out that you can." I've followed that advice into adulthood - therefore I've learned so many things that I CAN DO. I'll never be that skinny, athletic model type person - but we all have undiscovered talents waiting to be found. All we have to do is try.

Yes - there is the whole kit. If you see it on Life-Scrappers, the preview shows only the elements as of yet because I haven't learned how to upload the second preview yet. I'll get there. The $5 price does include the 40 papers as well as over 40 elements. AND in case you missed it earlier, here is the link again for the FREE sampler.

Fall Pumpkintime Sampler

Here it is, my first kit since the SAS-y lady competition. I thought you'd like a little sampler of what I've been working on. I'll be uploading it to Life-Scrappers sometime tomorrow.

It has once again been a couple of rough weeks. This has been my year it seems. We had to have Alfie, my first Maltese, to sleep. He was seventeen years old. He was my shadow - never letting me out of sight for a moment. Not having him here has been a huge loss to my husband and I since because we are childless, our Maltese dogs have taken that place in our hearts.

Anyway - back to blogging once again. Hope you like this sampler of what's to come. Just click the preview to get your download link.

Grammas Attic - My Loss Your Gain

As I spend my evening having a good cry and pity party for not winning the new designer contest at Stone Accents Studio, I decided to gift you with my entries. For today I give you my finale piece "Grammas Attic". This kit has 54 elements (some which you have seen before) and 15 papers. I hope you enjoy it - it truly was a labor of love.

Grammas Attic

Now you can see why you haven't seen or heard from me. I've been working on this kit to submit to Stone Accents Studio for my entry in the finals of their New SAS-y Lady competition during their birthday bash. They wanted a kit that showed who I am as a designer. I think this is a good representation of my work. You'll see a few pieces that show the progression of my development as a designer as well as some of the new techniques I've been attempting.

If you'd like to download this labor of love, just click the preview and you'll be taken to the download links page at SAS. There are 54 elements and 15 papers. This kit was almost called "My Favorite Things" or "I'll Be Home . . ." Hope you love it as much as I do.

Now you'll see me a little more often back at the blog. Thank you for all of you who helped me by voting. I appreciate it as well as your kind comments. Remember, I'm always open to what you'd like to see more of.

FINAL Voting Round

Here is the kit - here is where you can get the download link - click the preview to vote. I can't begin to tell you how bad I want this.

Thanks so much - here are some instructions I sent out.

Hi Everyone - Thanks for not deleting this message before reading.

I made it to Round 3 in the new designer competition at Stone Accents Studio. Thank you so much to those of you on my close friends and family list who took the time to register then vote for me. I do appreciate that it was a hassle but you've helped me accomplish a life-long dream.

It's time to vote one last time. (The round after this is decided by the current designers at the studio.)

Here's the process:

If you haven't registered, here's the link http://stoneaccentsstudioforum.com/forum/. You will be asked a series of questions - you have been referred by maltesescrapper.

The glitch in registration has been on the random question. It sometime asks for the fourth calendar month in English. For some reason it does not accept April. Just keep trying until it gives you a new question - then you'll be able to go to the next step.

You will then be sent an email to confirm your email address. Click the link given and it will take you back to the site. Your not done yet. A staff member of the studio will OK your registration and you should get another email (not always).

* Voting will will be until 2:00 tomorrow. The announcement of those moving on will be made on September 25.


After your registration has been accepted, http://stoneaccentsstudioforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5965. Then click Poll: VOTE ROUND 3.

All the kits this round are called "Autumn Fest". So look for the one by the Maltese Scrapper (TMS).


I hate to beg but I really want this job. The vote numbers have to be there this round or I won't make it. I was the bottom of the list the last round because my numbers were so low. PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE vote for me.

The Colonies I

I can't believe it!

I actually made it into Round 3 of the Stone Accents Studio SAS-y Lady Contest. Granted, I made it by the skin of my teeth thanks to my family and some Facebook friends voting for me. BUT, Round 3 - I'm still pinching myself. I stayed up half the night, hitting refresh to see when and if any votes came in. I'm sure I've driven my husband crazy by now talking about it.

To celebrate, I'm dropping this little treasure onto the web. It's from an upcoming kit that I've been working on called The Colonies. This is in tribute of my being a "Mayflower" descendant and the history I grew up with all around me. That will give you some hints as to what you'll find in this future kit.

Just click the preview to get the download link for the spinning wheel pictured below.

Don't forget - September 22 to be watching for the final vote in the SAS-y Lady Contest. Consider your vote as a birthday present to me which my birthday is the 22nd. I'm sure you'll hear about it at least once or twice more = )
