The savings are still going on!

And because it wasn't fair that everyone was saving at Digi By Design at my close-out sale AND everyone is saving at Dragonflaire Studios, I have uploaded all my new stuff to Seaside Scraps and put it on sale there as well.

REMEMBER everything of mine is 25% off at Digi By Design.

Everything that is NOT at Digi By Design is also 25% off at both Dragonflaire Studios and Seaside Scraps through August 31, 2007.

The savings continue!

It didn't seem fair to only let those that regularly shop at Digi By Design get all of the savings. . . SO. . .

Everything in my shop at Dragonflaire Studios that is NOT in my shop at Digi By Design will be on sale for 25% off until August 31, 2007! That puts several items at Dragonflaire Studios at less than $1, including one of my newest releases!

Anything NEW that I release between now and August 31, 2007 will also be priced at 25% off! Keep checking back to see what I've got going on.

I'm quitting and you save!

I told you that changes were coming for me in the whole digital scrapbook design aspects of life. It is official, I am giving up my spot at Digi By Design. I am consolidating my designing efforts into fewer stores as life is just too busy for me to keep up with the demands of 3 stores. As a result of this I am putting everything on sale before they close out my shop at Digi By Design on September 1, 2007.

EVERYTHING of mine at Digi By Design is on sale for 25% off through the end of day August 31, 2007! My shop!

Don't worry, I'll still be around. I am NOT giving up designing. I just need to lessen the stress and demands for the time being.

Another new one

I have decided that I really need to focus some energy on some elements. I've been having a lot of fun doing papers, but I am getting that "itch" for elements. So look forward to finding more elements in my collection over the next 3-4 weeks.

My latest paper pack, "Array of Color":

Changes coming soon

We all know that life happens and is often out of our control. We just have to learn to adapt and adjust to the new demands. As a result of this, there will be changes in my little portion of the digi-scrap world. Details will be available soon! There will be a sale involved.

New kits available

These kits a now available at Dragonflaire Studios.

"Aquarium Delights" paper pack is a delicate and serene display of color.


"Gentle Blues" is a series of kits perfect for the beginner digital scrapbooker. These kits were previously available as freebies so please double check your stash before purchasing.





"Simple Spring - Add On 1" and "Simple Spring - Add On 2" are delightful companions to my "Simple Spring" kit. These add on kits were previously available as freebies, please double check your stash before purchasing.

Back from vacation

Our trip to Wisconsin was awesome! We all had a lot of fun. It is hard to get back into the groove after having an awesome vacation, so I've been slow in posting. I hope that over the next few weeks I'll get back into that groove as the kids' schedules return back to the "normal" schedules as they return to school.

In the meantime, I wanted to post about all the products that I have released since my last post. I am not sure how many of you saw them before we left, so here you go. . .

Get started on your holiday creations

Get back to basics

Sometimes we just need to get back to basics. I am a fan of the simple and clean lined. This is the first in a series of paper packs. Currently, they are just paper packs, but over time I'll probably add some elements separately. "Basic Shades" is coming soon to a digital scrapbooking store near you!



"Basic Shades" will be available at:

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone is enjoying their 4th of July holidays and eating lots of BBQ and gorging themselves on potato salad and all the fixings. . . what else would you do on 4th of July? *innocent look* We're not doing a whole lot, actually. We'll probably do some bratwurst. My husband is taking the two older boys to see Transformers. I think I'll head to the store and get some hot dog buns while they are gone. If it doesn't rain, there will likely be some yard work that is done today. I need to get some design work done. Just not a whole lot going on. The weather is too yucky for too much to be happening. We're getting rain, yet again!

I'm having a sale!

BUT WHAT WOULD THE 4th OF JULY BE WITHOUT A SALE??? Well, it would still be the 4th of July. It would still be Independence Day in the US. It would even still be Wednesday this year. BUT in honor of the 4th of July, we're having a big sale over at Digi By Design.

Here is the 411 on the sale at Digi By Design:

4th of July Day Sale!!! Let the fireworks begin at www.digibydesign.com!

Other Digital Scrapbook Musings

I am sponsoring the Shakerbox site this month! Yep, I am one of the sponsors for the Shakerbox Jumpin' July crop. I am not sure how many they have, but I am one of them. The event runs from July 5-9, 2007. It should be interesting. I am offering up freebies and likely a coupon. You should check it out and see what is going on over at the Shakerbox.

Creative Team Thoughts

I am starting to think that it is time to have a full Creative Team. I am not 100% certain that I want a large one. I am pretty sure I do not want to do a full blown call for a team. So here I sit trying to figure out how to get a "small" team without even doing a call. I suppose I could just got and start hand picking one by one. But I thought I'd post here and see if I get any responses! So if you're interested, PM me at DigiShopTalk (I'm 4guysandme). You can also sport my "Fan of Stacey Sansom" blinkie and if I see it, I'll check out your gallery.

Need some color?

My latest creation is just a "Splash of Color." Bright and vibrant and everything in between. There is no rhyme or reason for these colors, they are just solid colors because sometimes you need something a little random.


Because this is such a random thing. . . I am offering the first 100 people here on my blog the paper pack for free! Yes, you read that right, 100 people get it free! Free! FREE!

All Gone!

Once "Splash of Color" has been downloaded 100 times, it will then be added to the 3 stores I sell in! So TRY TO GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!

"Splash of Color" will be available at:
Digi By Design

Seaside Scraps

Strawberries and Cream Paper Pack

I announced this paper pack a couple of weeks ago. I finally got around to posting the preview for it. You can currently find "Strawberries and Cream" at Dragonflaire Studios. You will soon also be able to find it at Digi By Design and Seaside Scraps.

I've been at it again!

One new kit coming soon wasn't enough. I had to go and create a 2nd one that is coming soon. It was another hard one to name. I have decided that I just have a problem naming the kits when the ideas come easily. They aren't so hard to name when I spend 2-3 months working on a kit. It is the quick ones that really get me.

Check out "Flowers in the Sun":
"Flowers in the Sun" will be available within the next few days at Dragonflaire Studios, Seaside Scraps, and Digi by Design.

New kit coming soon!

I have been busy working on a new kit the past few days. It has been a real challenge because I do not have Photoshop installed on my Mac yet. I installed the trial for Photoshop Elements 3. Yeah, I know it is an old version, but it was the only trial I could find for PSE. So between Fireworks and Photoshop Elements, I have managed to put together a simple kit. That was the goal. Simple! I think I have accomplished that. It is time for me to call it done.

I'll have it uploaded to my 3 stores soon (Dragonflaire Studios, Seaside Scraps, and Digi by Design). One of them is in the process of a server move so I will upload them to each store the same day. Besides, I still have to figure out how I am going to price it. That might be important! But I am excited about it.

You are my Hero

A casual walk through

So this evening I walked through the local scrapbook store that is just a couple of doors down from the kids' karate place. They were open and it is getting too hot to sit in the car and scrap on my computer like I usually do. Since I arrived at the karate place early, I thought I'd just wander through the scrapbook store and have a "browse" before I head in to sit with my laptop at the karate place. That's where I am now. Great idea! I have to say, I was rather bored. It was a crowded little shop. At least the isles at Hobby Lobby or Wal-mart or Michael's aren't this crowded! I wanted to just touch the paper. Touch it. Feel it. The whole texture thing.

I had previously talked to a friend of ours about how much it would set me back to print some of these digital designs I spend so much time on. He owns a printing business. He was talking a textured linen paper. Higher end, etc. I need to sit down with him with a couple of papers that are typical for scrapbooking and just have a discussion with him about the whole thing. The whole this is what I need/want conversation. Unfortunately, you can't get by with less than runs of 1000 sheets. Yikes! You'd have to be willing to (1) set down some cash and (2) be prepared to bite the loss if it doesn't sell. At least, that would be the case for a whole paper pack. I'll have to keep thinking about that some. Get more details. It was my husband's crazy thought for me to talk to this friend in the first place.

I have another friend of ours who used to own some paper scrapbook stores a few years ago. I need to talk to her about things too. She wants me to show her how to do the whole digital scrapbooking thing. I am excited about that. I will have to get with her soon. But looking at it from a designer standpoint. . . I want to know what it takes to get into the stores and other things. You never know, I might venture and partner with her in something of this nature on a digital level. I don't know. Just thinking out loud here. I haven't talked to her about what she did and how she did it, etc. I need to have that conversation before I have crazy thoughts about other possible ventures.

But I have digressed from the whole local scrapbook store adventure I had this evening. I didn't feel any pangs of lust and desire when I was in there. I didn't feel the need to buy anything. I didn't see any spectacular papers that I just had to have. I found some solids that had some very nice texture to them. I just wasn't super impressed. I don't know if it was that particular store or if I have officially lost all desire to scrapbook in the "traditional paper" format.

The realization is that I really do enjoy what I do - digitally! I LOVE IT! Digital is the way to go! I was looking at the papers and the kits and stickers and embellishments and the alphas and. . . and. . . and. . . I was delighted with my own creations. I do create things that people want even if they don't sell well yet. I really need to get some serious marketing going on. I think Kat needs to really do some market research for me and find out where and when to advertise and whatnot. She is my lone Creative Team member and has been appointed my Creative Director.

I walked into a scrapbook store and did not buy one single thing. *doing the digital happy dance*

Dragonflaire Studios GRAND OPENING!
