New kit from Helen Ehrenhofer...Tuscan Days

Helen Ehrenhofer has just released a brand new kit. Tuscan Days is one of the MOST GORGEOUS kits I have ever seen!! Such rich colors and unique elements make Helen one of the best known and most respected digi-scrapping designers in the world.
Here is a preview of Tuscan Days.



Here is my first layout with Tuscan Days.



You can pick up Tuscan Days kit exclusively at GDS. The Tuscan Days kit will be 30% off for at least 2 weeks, so grab it while you can!!

I won a beautiful new kit from Dani Alencar...Lovely Flavor!!

I must be lucky the past couple of weeks, because I won Dani Alencar's kit Lovely Flavor, from a drawing after participating in her Speed Scrap at GoDigitalScrapbooking last week. It is such a pretty kit. I made my first layout for the May Word Art challenge at GDS.

JAB designs provides the most gorgeous word art on the planet for this challenge. You can find her store HERE at GDS.

They have the best challenges at GDS, which I refer to as "my digital home". The nicest group of digi-scrapping friends a girl could ask for. HERE is Dani's kit, Lovely Flavor.

And HERE is my layout with her kit, A Walk in the Park.

I won the new kit from Snowflake Beach Designs--"We Are Family"

One of my favorite designers, Snowflake Beach Designs, had a giveaway of her new kit, "We Are Family" on her blog, Chanin's Corner, and I won!! Yippee!!! She is so talented and I just finished a layout with the kit.

We Are Family


You can pick up all of her great products at GoDigitalScrapbooking. Be sure and check her blog for great posts and awesome freebies from Chanin and her great CT!!

This is my DH when he was just 5 years old. Isn't he adorable?!?
Thanks so much, Chanin for this beautiful kit!!

American Idol

Ok, let me just say that I only started watching AI about 2 years ago when my daughters got into it. I am not into the reality show genre, but let's face it, these kids got alot of heart. Ok, that said, I loved watching David Cook win last year and think he has a great voice.

So on to this year. The favorite seems to be Adam, BUT, I am really tired of hearing him scream. This guy is soooo talented, but he chooses to scream during EVERY performance. He totally mutilated "One" by U2 and also "Cryin'" by Aerosmith tonight. Slash was right when he told him he could sing "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zepplin without going so crazy up in the high notes...and Slash was right. He sounded great that night. So...the only way I think this guy is marketable is to have him belt out some 80's-like glam-rock.

My daughter loves Danny, and I have switched my vote from Adam to Kris, who absolutely killed tonight with his version of "Heartless" by Kanye West!!

Yay, I made a blog...sort of!!

So today marks the beginning of a new challenge for this 37 year-old chick...creating a blog. It is a small blog, mind you, and will hopefully become really cool as I learn the ropes.

I just wanted to give a "shout-out" to my friends and digi-scrap designers that I CT for: Silly Beans Scraps and Helen Ehrenhofer. I discovered both of these talented ladies' designs at my digi-scrap home, GoDigitalScrapbooking, where I love to "play", which is what I call it when I am caught up in my world of digi-scrapping. Both of these ladies are amazing.
Silly Beans Scraps has stores at GDS, GDWI, and IL.
Helen Ehrenhofer designs exclusively for GDS.
You can follow the blinkies to find their creations------------->

Another big part of my life is living wih Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I am a disabled RN, and will be posting info about health and nutrition here as well.
I am in day 15 of a 21 day Elimination Diet, to rid my body of built up toxins. This should help with my FM. My family has been VERY supportive, as I cannot have gluten, dairy, chocolate, caffeine, sugar, artificial sweeteners, chocolate, beef, pork, chocolate. Did I mention that I can't have chocolate!!!!

OK, now I will see if my first post works.......
