Rain, Rain

Something else I've been mucking around with....



I found these beautiful Fae posers on Outlaw by Designs pay to use archive and decided I wanted to do something with them. Got a great pallet. Still don't have a name for the kit yet. "Summer Storm" but it's a sping kit...so that won't work.



Did this one for Nette of Nette's NightOwl Works with the owl on it. There's also a flying cat in the kit but she's not made it to any of the tags. Still some work to do on it as I haven't done bows and the like yet.

Sin City Tutorials

Mary Richardson sent me three fab tags (and tutorials, w00t!) using my Sin City taggers kit.

This kit is still FTU, but you need to grab it by Sunday, 28 February. Because after that, it's headed to my stores!



You can find the tut for this at Vegas Style



I thought this was a Street Scenes tube but it's not. Still...it's MPT so I guess I should go check it out. I really like this one!

You can find the tutorial for this tag HERE.



And you can try this one HERE.

I had actually started out to do some of my own but ended up getting side tracked by absentee store owner who except us to drop everything and product collab kits at the drop of a dime. (Yeah, it's opt-in, but I don't the same commission rate if I don't opt-in, now do I?)

So I've I'd done ONE tutorial using Jessica's Sin City sampler:



THAT is a Street Scenes tube, don't you know! Try this tutorial for yourself (it's pretty easy) at Di Before Dawn tutorials.

Make sure you grab the Sin City blog train freebies this weekend. Othewise you're gonna miss out, and you'll be sorrr-rry! LOL!

Tags using this kit:

Spring Break Fever...

A peak at an upcoming kit I'm working on. I don't think I've ever seen a kit for Spring Break before. Gotta be different. Besides, how many designers live in a spring break town?



And I LUV that Garv tube...don't you?

FUZZY BUNNIES! Don't you just love 'em? This is the preview for my part of the collab for Aussie Scrap Designs.





I know, I know. It IS Rufus the cat, but there's bunnies in there too. Believe me, there are!

And...I dunno...Did I post this one already?

Part of the upcoming collab at Just4Taggers which is called "A Spring Garden".



Not my usually cuppa Joe, however I do have to say that the kits I've seen coming through are just adorable. This should be available very shortly. Spring Fever will be out at or around the beginning of March and Bunny Hop isn't due out until the beginning of April. So you'll have to wait for that one.

Irish Blessings

Jessica did this absolutely fabulous tutorial for me, using my new Irish Blessing taggers kit. She said "Your kits keep getting better and better. I LOVED this one!"

Here is the tag:



And you can try the tutorial at Gothic Inspirations Tutorials.

Since we're on the subject - sort of - While the Gateway to Annwn train is not scheduled to launch until Monday, designers are now being accepted for the Gothic Chic blog train. Previews are not due until Friday, March 26th.

Here is the pallet:



You can get more information on Goth Chics at Gothic Inspirations Blog Trains.

Be sure to stop by Monday when the Gateway to Annwn train launches to so you snag my Wild Hunt kit:



A lot of the designers strugged with this theme, but I had fun. :)

Siggy Tags

A couple of signature tag pressies that I was surprised with today. The first is from Jaimi, who is on the Scrappin' Jungle Ct. She used my Under the Sea kit for this one:



You can check out Jaimi's website HERE.

The second was done by Jean using my Green is the New Black Sampler:



You can visit Jean at DreamKeepers Random Thoughts. She has a very nice blog with lots and lots of wolves!

Great work! Thanks to both of you!

How wild is that?

I had just listed my Wild Horses taggers kit at Aussie Scrap Designs late last night, and when I got back from lunch today (still penniless as the ATM is not working) I found this beautiful tag in my mail box from Bev at HorsePlay's Pasture.



You can find the tutorial for this beauty HERE.

Bev is on the Aussie Scrap Creative Team. All my kits are on sale there, at least 25% off, so be sure to stop by.

Thanks again Bev, you really made my day!

(Now, if I could only locate a working ATM....)

Just Because Award

Jessica gave me this wonderful "Just Because" award which was created by Nita at Anti-Social Distorions.

This is what Jess had to say:

This "Just Because" award goes to Dianna with Digicats (& Dogs).

I've found your idea's, continuous history lessons, spunky "call it all out" attitude and friendship a refreshing take in my every day life. Thank you hun!



The rules for this award are ass follows: pass it on to only one person at a time & attach a surprise gift. It could be a personalized tag, a CU item, gift certificate or even a scrapkit ..ect, ect. To get your surprise you must message the award giver & acknowledge the award.

I'm now going to have to consider who to pass this one along to.

Meanwhile, thanks so much Jess for the award and for the Pressie!

Decisions, decisions

Diamond excels at being very mean to Tristan. One of her campaigns, aside from trying to starve him out, is to make him feel unwelcome everywhere in the house. If she catches him sleeping somewhere, she will immediately claim it for herself and kick Tris out, even if she's never evidenced any interest in the area before.

For example, the chair in the bedroom. Tris seems to like sleeping with the floofyheads, but since she's discovered him pulling his E.T. stunt, she goes after him if she catches him on the chair.

He'd taken over "my" spot on the bed, but unfortunately, I need it from time to time, so to give him an alternate place to sleep, I put a box down in the living room. He likes boxes.

But this has now created a terrible conflict for poor Tristan. Because he doesn't know if he should "go outside" or "sit in box". Or "eat" or "sit in box".

And to make sure that Diamond stay off his case, I put TWO boxes down and since she can't sit in both them at the same time, one is always available to Tristan. (She's tried scent marking both, Tris is ingoring this subtle little hint.)

The two boxes however are really creating a delima because he absolutely cannot decide if the should "sit in box" or "sit in box".

If only all of our decisions in life were so hard.

City Rock tutorial

Another great tutorial, this time from my buddy Jessica Woods at Gothic Inspirations. She's using my Brandi Rocks! taggers kit which is available exclusively at Sophisti-Scraps.com.

She's also using the posers included in the kit, which were custom made for me by SSLisa of Sophisticated Scraps and Imaging. (Thanks Lisa!)



Try this tutorial at Gothic Inspirations tutorial.

And don't forget about my Sophisti-Deal that's running this month. First of all, all my kits are discounted 25% off. But buy one - and you can get a kit of equal or lesser value for 50% the already discounted price!

Thanks Jess! And thanks for looking!

Heart of the Nile tutorial

Carol from Hughav's Haven did a great tutorial using my Heart of the Nile kit. She's the first tut writer to ask for the kit and I'm so pleased that she did, it's one of my favorites.

I'm hoping to do a couple more Egyptian themed kits in the not too distant future. Meanwhile, take a look at what she did:
