Changes & news!

Well, my store (Digital-Scrapbooking.Org) is changing this week and the whole site’s look and feel is changing, too! Oh, and it IS for the better, let me tell you! It looks fantastic!!! Bunny has been working day and night to get all of the files transferred over and finish up the site, so don’t worry, we will be back better than ever!

A few of the changes so far:

• the old store is still active until midnight tonight and then switches over to the new site
• the forum is not working yet but should be this week
• the gallery is gone…   but we will have a new one this week and you will be able to upload your layouts again
• the blog is still up for now and today is the last day to get the download-a-day freebie from the “Boy Time” mega – so don’t miss it!
• we will be having a Re-Grand Opening celebration with a huge SALE!!! To be announced soon…

 NEWS!!!

My article is now published in the latest edition of The Daily Scrapper!!! Please check it out and leave a comment or two on some of the articles in the paper – my article made it on the front page!!! I am so excited!!! If you have clicked on my banners or links in the newspaper and wondered why it takes you here to my blog, it’s because our store site is wacky right now – soon to be fixed, though! Here is a sneak peek of the front page of the paper with my article!

Go on over and check it out – there are freebies, articles, tutorials, reviews, and so much more! I think that Alice is doing a great job of bring the digiscrap community together around the world with this great new project! Let her know how much you like it by sending her an email from the paper’s site.

OK – now, I will be back tomorrow for some more news on our new site… stay tuned!

What’s going on?

If you have been trying to get onto the Digital-Scrapbooking.Org site for a few days, I’m sure you’ve noticed that it is offline. Due to high traffic, the server kicked us off for exceeding our quota! Imagine that, we get a lot of traffic, and the host kicks us off! What the heck – Bunny has paid them so much dang money and they are treating us like we are strangers! Don’t people understand what being a “Scrap-a-holic” is like and the need to feed the addiction? If they did, they wouldn’t have booted us out of our site!!! At least the blog is still there and the store…..

So for now, the site is being moved to another, bigger, server and hosting company. It should be just a few days, but here is a quote from Bunny, our site owner, “We are experiencing some technical difficulties with our webhosts.  They have been bought out by a new company, and the new companies changes are reeking havoc on our site.  Please note I am working to resolve the problem as soon as I can.  The gallery and forum will be closed until I can get the issue resolved.”

So, be patient, scrap some of your beautiful photos, and keep trying until you can get back on the site. If you are really addicted and just can’t stay away, head on over to the SHOP and grab up some great kits to feed your addiction! The store is still open!!!!!

“In other news”…. check out The Daily Scrapper – the new issue comes out today, this afternoon, and my new article should be in there!!! Leave a comment on the article and check out the whole entire paper – it’s INCREDIBLE!!! Alice has really gone out of her way to make it a fabulous resource for scrappers!

CALL: Please send me some of your treasured 4th of July photos; friends, family, celebrations, parades, picnics…. so I can post them on The Daily Scrapper!!!

For each person that sends me their photos, I will have a special freebie for you!

Happy Wednesday * FREEBIE *

Here it is Wednesday already and I have a new freebie for you…. But first, some good news! I was asked by Alice Koh of The Daily Scrapperto write some feature articles for this online newspaper!!! I have submitted 2 of my articles so far and the first one should be printed Friday of this week! It really is an awesome newspaper catering to the digital scrapbooking world. Alice is a real sweetheart and has worked really hard to get it up and going strong. Please visit the paper and click on some of the articles and advertisements to find some really good deals!

OK, here is your freebie for today – it’s a mini kit! Click on the image to go to the download page. It ended up being a large sized file, so I split it into 2 files – be sure to download both!

Photos from camp!

OK – so I got my camera back from my friend today and though you might want to see a few photos of our girls camp….

Most of the pics have my youngest daughter, Brittany, in them and her BFF, Sireena

Humpday FREEBIE (1 day late) & New Layouts!

Oh, it has been a busy month… It’s been one whole month since I have been going to the gym and working out 5 days a week for a solid hour. Mondays and Fridays, I have a personal trainer that works my butt off (literally) and I am constantly sore. Tues-Thurs I do cardio for an hour and then about a half hour of strength training. UGH!!! I am so stinkin’ sore!!! I hope it’s all worth it, because I have LOTS of weight to lose (you don’t want to know how much, then you would know what a fattie I am) and I want to start by getting strong first. Then, hopefully the weight will start to fall off. So far, I have only lost 1 pound, but I am losing inches.

OK – here are my latest layouts:

This is my layout using Christina Renee’s Ultimate Art II, which is the featured kit at DST this month and Christina is the featured designer!!! I am a one of her new CT members, too!!!:

Here is my new layout made with Heather Manning’s Quiet Day kit (I am a site CT for GetDigiWithIt.Com, too!) featuring 2 of my grandbabies (my DD’s little ones):

OH – here is my Humpday Hunnies freebie – sorry that it is a day late, but it is well worth it! It’s my new Ribbon Wrapped Bracket – pretty and pink! Click on image to download!

Click on the image to download! Don’t forget to check out all the other Humpday Hunnies’ blogs for their freebies!!  Kristine, Heather, Bunny, Lynn, Teriann and Sondra
