Is there ever a dull moment?

I am trying to scrap, really I am. Now if I could just find the time.

I have decided that while I can generally design a kit fairly easily once the ideas get flowing, it isn't so easy for me to scrap my own kits. Just my luck. So I have decided that I am going to be scrapping my "Simply Lush" kit. I am not sure what the exact results are going to yield yet, but we're going to do it. So far, I am set up doing a 2 page spread, so we'll see. There is so much this kit could do that it is hard to find the pictures to fit with it.

Something for everyone to look forward to is sketches and mini-albums. Yes, I am going to try my hands at some quick pages and putting them together into mini-albums. I sat down to do some sketches for the mini-album and now have a grand total of about 40 sketchs to draw from. Hmmmmm. I am not sure what all I am going to do with them right now.

I am currently working on another kit. You've see an early preliminary here already a few months ago. I am working on finishing the "Circles" kit. It should prove to be fun and delightful. I have had some more ideas and am in the process of making those reality in the kit. I had hoped to have it completed and uploaded to The Daily Scrap Mall by this past weekend, but things got in the way. Then the goal was Monday. Nope, didn't happen. So right now I am setting the deadline for myself for Friday morning. We'll see if I make it!

Another kit is in the store

I have uploaded another kit to The Daily Scrap Mall. I am very excited about this kit.

For Marissa is a beautiful kit with rich colors. It is perfect for fall pictures, but the inspiration was a summer swimming picture. Don't feel that it can only be used for the fall season. It uses rich turquoise, greens, browns, burnt oranges, and greys. You can get the kit here!


This kit was inspired by my friend Marissa. She sent me a picture of her son (2 days older than my youngest) and I was just in awe with the colors. I couldn't resist the urge to scrap that beautiful picture.

But it was from that picture that the whole kit evolved. I was grateful for the inspiration. It started small, but through encouragement from Karin and Ripal it kept growing and became what it is today. The kit went from what was in the layout to what went to the store in a matter of a few days. Once the ideas started flowing, they just kept coming.

A little history, Marissa is not a digital scrapbooker. That is ok. She creates beautiful paper scrapbook pages. She's also a wonderful photographer. I have no desire to convert her to a digital scrapbooker. I don't think she has the desire. But, I couldn't upload the kit without showing it to her first. She was very excited and loved the kit.

What's new in Stacey's digital scrapbooking world?

Absolutely NOTHING!

Actually, that isn't entirely true. The truth is that I haven't done any new scrapbook pages. Nope. I haven't scrapped in a while. I have a few started, but none finished. Sad, but true.

However, I have been diligently working on a kit. Yep, ANOTHER KIT! How cool is that? This kit was started a LONG time ago. It was inspired by a friend of mine and a picture she had taken of her son (2 days older than Lance). It was a beautiful picture. The simplicity of it just struck me.

SO I was looking at kits I had started. . . trying to decide which kit I was going to finish next. I saw this one and thought that I'd just make it a mini-kit. Well that thought didn't last long. I was in a slump, but then the ideas just kept coming and coming and well it is a whole kit now. It is loaded with papers.

On top of this. . . I am working on an alpha set. Yes, even more cool stuff. It is slow in the making, but I am hoping to release it about the same time I release the above mentioned kit. They go nicely together.

I'll keep you updated!

I have kept quiet long enough

I haven't blogged about this as I have just been too busy. I am bursting with joy right now, so I can't help it.

I had applied to 2 more online digital scrapbooking stores for designer positions. I was turned down by Digiscrappin.biz but was offered a position on their Element Team. Yes, I took the spot.

Then I got my email from The Daily Scrap. There was an initial mix up on the emails. I got another rejection. That was soon followed by a profuse apology, stating that I did in fact get the spot. I got the spot. I got the spot. I got the spot.

I was SO excited. Of course, it all came at a very BUSY BUSY BUSY time for me. Just crazy. A to-do list 10 miles long and growing. I decided I was taking the leap and accepted the position and submitted all the required stuff. How was I going to get the kits completed and ready for purchase and download?

WELL. . .

My first kit hit the mall today!!! YAY! YAY! YAY! I am so excited!

Here is a preview of the kit:


I am just delighted. I am excited. I will be working on getting some of the other kits ready for the mall as well. I can't believe it!

So everyone, keep an eye for news about new and upcoming things!
