Sadly... I've got to move on....

2011-07-09T12:43:00.003+09:30

After a wonderful 6 year relationship with blog.ger.... I've decided its time for me to move on.

I'm having major issues with picture uploads, I can't hyperlink and the worst - I can't publish (without a whole lot of rig-ma-role)

I know its a pain in the butt, when people move their blog, or change their email address (which I've done all of, previously) - but I'm just so so annoyed and frustrated with blog.ger - all I want to do is giveaway freebies, and I can't do here!

So - please please please save the address below in your favourites / bookmarks - and follow me over to my new pad, at WordPress.

www.goingdigi.wordpress.com

Its a bit like a new house - its pretty sparce at the moment, as I'm still trying to navigate my way around- but bare with me and you'll reap the rewards of mountains of freebies!!!

;) This blog will stay open, so all freebies posted in past posts will remain open and active.

I'm hoping to ramp up my exposure by being a bit more proactive with my fac.ebook page. I'll post more details on www.goingdigi.wordpress.com

Please come and visit - and drop in a comment to say HI!

New Template Kit - By Sweet Blossom Designs

2011-04-15T22:04:00.007+09:30

Sara has whipped up four fabulous templates, in a set for only $1 - Available at Scrap That idea The templates are all layered psd files, so are SUPER EASY to use... my layout took me a while, but only because I kept changing my mind, on which photos I'd use!

CT CALL!!!

2011-04-12T13:32:00.001+09:30

As you may already now, Groovy Scraps has closed, and I am moving over to DAISIES AND DIMPLES! So I'm having a CT call, to kick of the Grand Opening (1May) with a bang!!

Approx every 2 weeks I release a new kit. If you are successfully, you get to keep each new kit, and in return I'd like at least one layout (per kit) and ask that you upload your layout to 2 galleries, and "enable" my kit at Digishop Talk! I thought I'd make it a 3 month deal - if you want to stay on after that, that'd be great - if not, you're free to go along your merry way!

Thats it!

SO... if you love scrapping, can make one layout every two weeks - then send me you favourite layout (preferably using my kits - but not mandatory!) I'll be selecting my CT from the layouts presented on April 21st! So send 'em to goingdigi@gmail.com by the 21st! If you have any friends that are mad-scrappers, then forward this post to them!!! The more the merrier!

Hi guys! Just letting you know, I've started on Sweet Blossom Designs CT again! (coz she TOTALLY ROCKS!)

You can grab it NOW at Scrap That Idea, ONLY $1! (also available digital "doggie wordart stamps) Kit Preview:

My 2 layouts:

I made these layouts, a 2 days later, my poor little poochie (featured in my layouts) was hit by a car, and is now chasing bunnies in doggie heaven. :( It was very very sad. Its amazing how much we miss such a naughty little dog?!! Little things, like "shut the door, or the dog will come in!!" then realising, he won't be coming in, anymore. "Harry, did you let Chewy out of the laundry this morning?" then realising, he wasn't actually sleeping in the laundry. We is sadly missed. We will get another poochie, but we'll wait til we return from our upcoming holiday in America.

NEW KIT - DEEP IN THOUGHT

2011-01-23T10:05:00.009+10:30

DEEP IN THOUGHT is a kit made up of a very deep rich colour palette. It doesn't really have a theme, its kinda made for everyday scrapping! So it has a wealth of non-related elements!! There's plenty of nature elements, journal notes, books, fasteners, it even has a cockoo clock! (I hope i spelt that right?!!)

Its available now, in my Groovy Scraps store - for the super bargain price of only $1.25 - for two weeks! Its a little smaller than most of my kits, so I thought I'd discount it a bit for you!!

Here's the preview and my CTs beautiful work!

I've made this layout into a FREE QUICKPAGE for you! Download HERE

Just wanted to send a quick reminder - that GOING PLACES IN 2011 is still free everday (in bits!) in my Groovy Scraps Store - and I encourage you to have a look at RIVERBED, as 100% of sales, will go to the Queensland Flood Appeal, for the thousands of people who've faced devasting losses due to the massive flooding, in the last two weeks. A BIG THANK YOU to all those who've already purchased... but I'd really like to give more!! (I'm doubling the sales, in my donation!)

THANK YOU!!

2011-01-14T18:31:00.003+10:30

I've just checked my sales report - and RIVERBED has outsold, any of my other kits - YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! Please scroll down, and see the post re: RIVERBED sales to be donated to Queensland Flood Appeal, if you don't know what I'm talking about!!!

I'd love for you to add to the donation - so get in now, to grab RIVERBED while its still on sale, for only $1.75!! I will donate DOUBLE what the sales are, so COME ON!!! BUMP UP THOSE SALES so I can give more... I DARE YOU!! :)

QUEENSLAND FLOOD APPEAL

2011-01-12T21:06:00.006+10:30

Here in Australia, we have a dire situation, in one of our largest states, Queensland. An area as large as France & Germany combined, is now underwater. There have already been 12 fatalities, and around 50 are still missing. It'll be weeks before some areas are accessible. Rivers that are normally just trickling at this time of the year, are peaking at around 6 metres in depth. There is no river anymore - it is a sea. We saw one news report of a family of three sitting on the roof of their car, in the middle of a massive expanse of water. The news helicopter that filmed the family, radio'd immediately to rescue teams to attend - by the time they got back to the same spot - the car & family had disappeared.

I can't rescue families, I can't even give someone a food basket (because the floods are cutting towns off) - but I can give. I've just realeased RIVERBED, every cent from the sales of RIVERBED will be donated to the Queensland Flood Appeal. Its still on sale for one more week $1.75, then it'll be at the regular price of $3.50 ~ small price to pay, hey?

CLICK HERE to read the news report - you can also click DONATE HERE , if you wish to help support those in serious need.

Kelly-Jo made this double layout, with Riverbed - this is her hometown, Maryborough. Thankfully, her family is all ok.

Stay Safe, Queensland.

Hi guys!!! I just flew home this morning, from our gorgeous tropical holiday! I've read your comments re: the letter P in the Colour You Sea Alpha - I'll fix it later today! Believe it or not, I hopped off the plane (after boarding in Bali, at a lovely 1AM), and straight off to work to do wages. Sometimes it totally sucks owning your own business!!!!

I'm sorry I stuffed that up, we did have wireless internet at the hotel, but it didn't work very well - so I didn't check the blog til I got home!!! I'll definitely post later today! I promise!

New at Groovy Scraps!

2010-09-07T12:05:00.004+09:30

Hi ya girls (and the few guys that may visit occasionally!) Firstly, I'm going to bore you with my horrid week! Last week, was a doozey! My husband works mega hours at the Royal Adelaide Show, so he's been scarce... which usually means everything thats going to break down, does! First it was the hot water service, on Wednesday night (now, keep in mind, our house is brand new - we've been here for 3 months!). Called the plumber - he tried to fix Thurs night, and couldn't, so came back Fri. Still couldn't Friday night, so he called the manufacturer, who couldn't get onto any service people in my area, so announced, they'd come Monday. Monday came and went... still not serviceman. FINALLY this morning, someone came, and it appears that its fixed... I'm not going to hold my breath, coz the plumber got hot water twice, but then it stopped working again!!! THEN, Friday night, we had a power fail, as well!!! No hot water, no power... excellent. Add to that, furious storms, a deluge of rain turning the gravel around our house into a moat!!! Tari's been really sick for 3 weeks, just a cold, but its nasty! She's lost half a kilo (and for my almost 3 yr old baby, who is only 10kgs anyway... she can't afford to lose a gram!!!) So the Doc perscribed antibiotics - and thank goodness, she's on the mend... BUT because she's a sharing kinda gal, I'VE now got her nasty cold!!! I feel like crap. I guess I can have a hot shower tonight though? OH! I forgot, I took the kids to the Royal Show on Sunday (it was Fathers Day, and the only way they can see Daddy is to go to the Show!) and it teamed and teamed with rain... we all got thoroughly drenched... and couldn't even have a hot shower to get warm!!! Oh, and my internet has decided to be extremely tempremental, I can occasionally read emails, but can't reply - I tried to download a zip file... I got a whopping 2.75kbps download speed!!! I usually get about 300-400kbps!!!! (so I'm doing this post at work!!)

Onto some happy news! Its a new month, so Groovy Scraps has a new mega kit!! Its called Back 2 School (which is really strange for me, coz my kids aren't off school yet!!! We have our big holidays over Christmas!!!! ;) Its on sale this month for only $3 - and its enormous!

I've got a new kit coming too... just not sure if I'll get enough speed to upload it though!

Bits and Pieces

2010-09-03T12:26:00.007+09:30

Hi All!!! Oh my lord, its been a flat-chat craaaazzzy busy week! I MUST apologise to poor RebeccaB, coz I made some layouts for her new kit TWINKLE GAL WITCH, then forgot to post them here!!! Nice CT member, I am, hey?!!!

Rebecca's Preview

My 2 layouts!

Super cool, and just in time for the USA onslaught of Halloween?!!!! (I had to say that, coz we don't do halloween in Australia! some people have a dressup party or whatever, but our children don't wander the streets in search of candy!!! ;)

Kelly-Jo also made a new kit called, Sugar N Spice! Available at Angel Baby Scraps, for only $2, for a short time! Heres a preview of the beautifulness...

and my 2 layouts!

OH! And RebeccaB made a layout with my LOVE MY HOME kit! Still available for $1.75 for a few more days!

More news?!! I got together with Lorene to create a challenge for Groovy Scraps! You need to be registered with Groovy Scraps, then read about the challenge HERE, be sure to download the free elements, in the post, and see my recipe cards & Lorene's examples HERE.

LOVE MY HOME!

2010-08-28T17:03:00.007+09:30

My newest kit! LOVE MY HOME is available in store now, for the tiny price of $1.75, for just over a week! I really like this kit - pinks and blues are my favourite colours!! :) I made this kit to celebrate moving into our new house, that was just finished in June. So everything is new and beautiful! Although I made it to be "homely"... it's not specifically a "housey" kit! :) I think its pretty flexible, for everyday family scrapping too?!!

Here are the previews;

My poor old CT have been extrodinarily busy, so I've only got a couple of layouts to show you... but as always, they are absolutely gorgeous! :) (thanks girls!)

Anita

And my creations!

Oooo! If you haven't snaggled it... SCRAP TODAY papers are available (for FREE!) in post below!!

Scrap Today FREEBIE! Papers

2010-08-27T06:00:00.001+09:30

Hi all! Hope you're travelling well! I've got a bright, "everyday" scrapping freebie kit for you!

I absolutely love navy as a base colour (you've probably noticed... I use navy alot?!) It goes so well, with hot pink, or lime green or blue! I think I've used a similar colour palette before... but I really like it! ;)

Today you get the papers

Courage 4 Kim

2010-08-26T13:12:00.005+09:30

All the designers at Groovy Scraps, pooled together, to create Courage 4 Kim. One of our gorgeous designers, Lisa, has a 19 yr old daughter, who was very recently diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Its just wrong, isn't it? That a 19 year old, has such an awful disease? I can speak from personal experience, because when I was 3, my own Dad was diagnosed with the same disease. I remember my Mum sitting my 2 brothers, and I down, to tell us, that Daddy was very sick. I remember asking if he was going to die. Mum just cried and hugged us. I didn't know it then, but the Doctor's had given my Dad 9 months to live. Well, that was 30 (something!!!) years ago, he's still alive and kicking. I don't know how/why he's still here, he had no treatment, just lots and lots of prayer. It can only be described as a miracle!

Anyway... I've gone a long way off track!!! COURAGE 4 KIM, is available at Groovy Scraps, NOW, 50% off - $3. Its an ENORMOUS kit! Its very pretty, full of lots of different styles.

This is my contribution... (just in case you wanted to know).

Angels Cry freebie - Papers

2010-08-08T06:00:00.000+09:30

I'm back to giving you papers, elements, alpha (rather than Part 1, Part 2, Part 3!!) Took forever to break it all up... and I'm not the most patient of people!!!

Anyway - I've created Angels Cry. The colours in it, and the theme, are in honour of my sweet sister in law, who went to Heaven about 2 half years ago. I miss her terribly. 2 weeks before she passed away, we were holidaying in Bali together, and for that time together, I'll be forever grateful. While we were in Bali, she bought a lavender top, she was wearing it in one of the last photos of us together. She loved pastel blue. And had a lemon tree in her backyard. So that's how the colour palette came about!!

This week you get the papers!

Hope you like it. Although I'm not a huge fan of lavender or lemon... this kit is pretty special to me. Its not too morbid is it?!!

Graphics Illustrations

2010-08-05T08:00:00.000+09:30

Silvia is a genius designer - Creator of Graphics Illustrations! Silvia gives away her work often - and sells some amazing packages too! If you're a fan of brushes - you need to check out her site! Theres lots and lots of stuff to look at! Tutorials as well!

Silvia is running a competition - if you feel like a bit of a challenge - check it out! Free downloads, of some beautiful brush packs!

I didn't spend much time on it, but quickly put together this layout -

I used the free brushes I downloaded - Swirly Tree, paisley (in paper background), hawaaiin flowers, swirly outline circle, the swirls in the top right corner, and the little leaf/vine is from the flower pack! I love Silvia's swirly tree pack (available for $9.99) and her birdie pack (also $9.99)! I have a bit of a "thing" for birdies! I usually sneak one into most of my kits!

My first Commerical Use Items!

2010-07-23T08:00:00.001+09:30

I've gotta admit... I'm very nervous about putting my first commercial use items, out there! I think it's one thing for people to use my kits, to create their family memories... but it's another to put gear out there, for REALLY CLEVER DESIGNER PEOPLE to buy, to make their amazing creations... for all the "personal use" people to buy / use!!! Does that make sense, or am I just rambling?!!!

Anyhoo - I made a set of overlays, and (nail-biting) some doodles! The doodles, are really freakin' me out! Coz I made them... didn't extract them, or use other cool stuff put together, to make them... I drew them! I worry whether they're good enough!!!

Well like em or loathe em... here they are

Overlay Set is $2

and

Doodles Set (includes 2 layered templates - the owl and noughts & crosses - so you can move bits around!), some metallic pieces and some just in black - all PNG format.
