For Forever

Ok, so I told you I'd switched my decor to Valentine's Day instead of Easter. Ever since then, My brain is non-stop love, hearts, pink , and kisses!

I've cut fabric for a table runner & pillows, dyed coffee filters, painted picture frames, and - of course- gotten my digi on! Remember the printout from a few days ago? Yeah, I'm not stopping there. It's "I Love You" in a whole bunch of languages. You can ask me to customize  colors and such ANY time by e-mailing me: imafishtank at gmail dot com

Well, there is something about love that I just HAVE to share. I can't imagine my life without my family. They are the very most important people to me on the whole planet. I mean, who DOESN'T think family is important? It is the basic unit of society! But it's more than that. It's loving them, being happy to see them, serving them, and finding JOY with them. That is one reason I'm so grateful to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. By making right choices, exerting self control, and repenting of sins that I've committed, I was able to marry the love of my life not just "till death do we part" but instead for ALL TIME AND ETERNITY. Isn't that wonderful! My marriage will last even after we pass on and as long as we continue to do our  best and as long as my kids do their best also, and repent of mistakes, we all get to be together forever and ever! The thought makes me so happy!!

So without further ado:

Wow! I am...

Relieved. Scared. Proud. Anxious.

I just finished the second part of my Designer Darling challenge. For the challenge, we were given two colors to start with and had to fill in the rest of the pallete. We then had to turn in 6-8 papers and 12-15 elements. Oh yeah, and we weren't allowed to use ANY Commercial Use items. It was a very welcome challenge. :D I'll be giving you a freebie, too, but first, take a looksie at

my papers. There are 7 of them:

And my elements:
Now that I have teased you, here is a freebie. Pretty much the extras I made that I didn't put into the kit to be judged.

Out of the ordinary

I don't normally post links to other people's freebie digikits because there are lots of sites out there specifically for that, but I found one of the worlds cutest kits EVER today. It's called "Punk Princess" and what does it feature? Oh yes- stars and skulls. And the main color? ORANGE!

I wanna win!!

My friend Sarah at Sew Very Happy is having a giveaway! You can win a $25 gift card to CSN! Fun, huh?

It's Snow Cold

So, one of my favorite things about digital scrapbooking is being on amazing CT teams- like for Maurine Stettler at Let Me Scrapbook. Her kits are gorgeous and she is a lot of fun to work with. So when was cool with letting us design add-on kits to her current kit It's So Cold, I jumped at the chance. 
Here is what I have for you!!

NOW you can have it! And a printable freebie, too!

Alright, I finally got my critique back for round 1 of Designer Darling (at Stuff to Scrap).
Overall, I"m very pleased with the reviews and knowing what needs to improve. I'm so excited for this next round I can't even TELL you! We were given 2 colors and the challenge was to come up w/ the rest of the colors for the kit and not use any Commercial License stuff. I had finished my color pallete when my sweet friend, Jamie (over at Black Sunshine Notes) stopped by and made a comment as to what the colors reminded her of. I joked about a name for it and then said it reminded me of point B on this thought train. Then I was upstairs washing my hands and it HIT me!!! I know what my theme is going to be! And I"m not going to tell you until I have it up!! I know, I'm mean like that. If you want a hint, click here.
If you'd like this kit- let me know and I'll e-mail it to you! imafishtank at gmail dot com

And also, here is a printable for you. Like I said in yesterdays post, if you want more variations of this printable, "Like" me on Facebook!

Bloomin Happy!!

So this morning, I got to work rightaway! I cleaned my living room, loaded the dishwasher, showered, got dressed, and got all my kids dressed too!

You can download them HERE- and I'm curious- here on the blog, when you click the link, does the download start automatically or does it take you to the folder of downloads? Please leave a comment letting me know which. :D

Right now I'm crazy beside myself waiting for my critiques from round 1 of the Designer Darling contest. They had a voting thing on the blog (hence the Vote! Vote! Vote! post of yesterday) and as of right now, I have 14 votes. That's 7.57% of the votes. Now, the votes only play a small role in the judges decisions, but still. I'm one of THOSE people who needs validation.
