Well, ok, not a layout that I designed, but it is a layout using my products! A Touch of Japan is featured on the front cover of the Design Originals’ Digi Scrappin DVD which is being sold in a package of digital scrapbooking educator materials at GetDigiWithIt.com!

The author of the DVD, who also created the layout, tells me that it was a scraplift of this layout by my Creative Team Member Toby:

Now, how cool is that!

Happy Birthday MSA!

Monday, August 18th, 2008 by Michelle

My Scrapbook Art is celebrating its first birthday and to celebrate I asked the members to tell me which of my products is their favorite. Well, these are the lucky winners:

digideb won A Touch of Japan, Cindy_rs won Citrus Punch and madelene won Sky Gazing: Over the Rainbow!

Congrats ladies - we hope you’ll share your gorgeous layouts with us!

And for those of you who are members, don’t forget to head over to the forum - because I posted a $2 off coupon, but you better hurry because MSA is closing the birthday thread later tonight!

It’s confirmed - raised in Wisconsin

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 by Michelle

Interesting little quiz. I currently live in central Illinois and everyone here constantly comments on my Wisconsin accent….

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: The Inland North
 

You may think you speak “Standard English straight out of the dictionary” but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like “Are you from Wisconsin?” or “Are you from Chicago?” Chances are you call carbonated drinks “pop.”

The Midland
 
North Central
 
The West
 
The Northeast

Softly

Saturday, August 9th, 2008 by Michelle

Take a peek below at the layouts the ‘Fly Girls did with my newest kit Softly, perfect for all those tender moments - be it a baby, a precious expression on your child’s face, a sweet kiss, and many other special moments! The soft hues are accented by bold green and brushed metal embellishments - including a brushed metal alpha!

And if you’re smitten with these fabulous layouts, ‘Fly Girl Toby will be giving the kit away to a few lucky gals over at DigiShopTalk this weekend!

For the Boys Coordinated Kit

Need some inspiration? Here are some layouts that the ‘Fly Girls have done with the For the Boys Kit - and be sure to check out their MellowButterfly galleries because they have been BUSY making gorgeous layouts with my other products too!

Gallery Upgrade

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 by Michelle

The gallery is in the midst of an upgrade - I say in the midst, because the upgrade is technically complete…however, I have lost some of my css (the code that makes it coordinate with the rest of my site). Since this was the first upgrade of any sort that I have ever attempted and it’s taken all day to upload, download and install everything - I am calling it quits for today, lol!

Just wanted you to know that I am well aware that the background images and such are missing on that portion of the site.

I’ve also added a few more quest ‘Fly Girls to the line up for future months - the last blog post has the updated image with their names if you are interested :D

A more interesting post will be forthcoming!

Welcome the new ‘Fly Girls!

The \'Fly Girl Team Announcement

Now, I know that this looks like a small team compared to some of the CTs I’ve seen, but since this is my first one I wanted to keep it on the small side. Plus, I am hoping that some of these fabulously talented guests will decide to stick around after they see how lovely I am (no laughing Ren)

These Girls are already impressing me with the layouts they are posting and since I will be out-of-town most of next week, I thought I’d share some of them with you before I go.

Blue Violet Early Bird Special!

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 by Michelle

hee-hee! I was too excited to wait one more day to release the Blue Violet products, so you get them a day early! Here are a few layouts the team did with these products this past week:


Aren’t they beautiful? You can click on the images to visit the full sized ones in the gallery. I’m sure we’ll be adding more layouts to the Blue Violet Showcase, so stop back in later and check it out!

Now, of course what would a new product release be without a little sale! So, until Sunday, June 1 you can get all these products at 30% off! Buy it as a kit, or as separates - all the previews are linked to the shoppe where there are additional previews.



Oh, what’s that you say? I forgot about the giveaway…… LOL - no, I didn’t. I just thought I’d make you wait a bit - I’m evil aren’t I? My fancy random number generator (my son) chose the number 4 - well, since that post was one of my CT girls who already has the kit, I ended up using an even more scientific method to choose….I picked the person who left the first comment! So, congratulations Armina! You’ve won the Blue Violet Coordinated Kit and Blue Violet Glitter Styles and Patterns - enjoy!

One last new product release before I go - for those of you who emailed me so many wonderful compliments on the Citrus Punch Kit - I’ve created a little Add On Kit! OK, well, it’s not really little as I don’t seem to do little well. But, it is also 30% off through Sunday. This product is no longer available!
