To File or Not To File...

You know how file folders or cards are supposed to be filed away cause you no longer need them for the time being? Well, not these. These are meant to be out and about and shown off with your wonderful photos tucked in behind them or journaled on or layered upon one another for your scrapping pleasure. bare+necessities Frames 4 element pack includes 9 tabbed card frames and 3 tabbed cards great for for any photo. 9 bonus file labels and 17 stamped words (confidential, completed, entered, file, filed, file copy, void, original, top secret, classified, 100%, oh snap!, wonky, wow!, memory, special, confirmed) included! Everything shown in preview. Available now at Two Little Pixels and CatScrap.

Look how lovely Tali used them here in this adorable layout of her cutie twins Jacob and Boden! (Also using paper and elements from Squeeze.)

On a different note, Justin's leaving for India again this Sunday night for three weeks after just returning from there three weeks ago. Am I annoyed? Yes. Am I irritated? Most definitely. Am I upset? For sure. But he keeps tellling me it's his job, it's A job. Ugh, I better stop here before I go off rambling my ass off cause I'm so irritated with him leaving again so soon. He's been traveling like this for about a year now. Does it get any easier with each trip? Heck no. Still as tough as the first time, if not even more emotional cause now Kalea can express her distaste in him leaving as well. I'm kinda super annoyed that he will be gone during the July 4th holiday, as he's always the one most excited to play with the fireworks for Kalea. Ugh, I better stop before I bore y'all. Despite my little emotional outburst here, I wish y'all a fab weekend. Weather's gorgeous in sunny So Cal, so we're going to enjoy it before he leaves for India where I hear weather sucks ass there. Late!

My Last Single Moment

Next month we'll be celebrating our 6th anniversary... This is me in my last alone moment, just seconds before making my appearance. :). This is my absolute favorite photo my brother took that hot July day back in 2003. He's such an awesome photographer, I'm so lucky he caught that moment when I adjusted my veil and didn't even know he was looking...

And since I'm sharing mine, thought I share the happy moments of my CT girls on their special day...

I'll be back with some inspiration in a bit. TGIF!

Squeezing Tom Brady

We had an pleasant unexpected guest with us last night. My brother asked me to pick up Tom Brady from the seller last night, and Kalea couldn't be happier.

Brady whimpers.

Kalea says, "What's wrong, sweetie? Mommy's here!"

Kalea sings the Don't Be Afraid song from Yo Gabba Gabba and it says something like don't afraid of being lonely, I know just what to do... think happy thought, happy thoughts... it's what you gotta do...

So Kalea sang that to him a few times and squeezed the heck outta him.

Then she cooked and served him up empty dishes from her kitchen.

He was licking around a lot so I figured the little fella was hungry, so we fed him, and he chowed down fast!

Then he was fast asleep, and Kalea held him like a baby and kept shhhshhhing me cause "baby's sleeping."

Then Kalea fell asleep so we drove to drop Brady off. I'm pretty sure she's going to ask for him all day today.

So our little pleasant guest distracted me completely all night, and I couldn't do all my usual preps for new products. Anyway, here is the new kit out at Two Little Pixels and CatScrap today ~ Squeeze. Hope y'all like it! I know I do.

 

I also didn't get it to my shiznit CT in time, so the inspiration will come later. I already know it's going to be fantabulous!

ETA: I N S P I R A T I O N ! ! !

Oh, one more thing! I have another GUEST! And she's at Two Little Pixels at the moment... My friend, Joana!!! Joana has an exclusive new kit for us at the shop called Slightly Girly, and it's more than just slightly gorgeous. It's fantabulous! Take a look...

Here are a couple of pages from me.

 

 Be back later!

 

 

My CT is the shiznit.

And they're not a bunch of toolbags.

Feeling Whole

I am only half the designer without a team of talented genuine creative artists that truly love and support my products. I have the most fantastic team any designer could ask for. They make me feel whole. :)

After an overwhelming respone to my guest call, I've had to make tough decisions and really had to kick myself to realize I cannot make everyone happy as much as I'd like to. I hate being disappointed, but I hate disappointing others even more. So thank you to all those who have applied. If I could, I'd simply take you all. But I like to get to know all my team members on a more personal level, and I just couldn't possibly do that had I accepted all the applicants. So I hope you all understand. You should've all received an e-mail from me, and thank you again so much for applying.

I am so excited and pleased to announce my new Resident Artists and my Guest Creative Artists for June and July. Welcome ladies, and enjoy the ride... It's going to be a fun one!

One more thing... We are having a blast lifting the fabulous Eva over on the CatScrap blog. Not only do we get to swoon over her gallery of fantastic layouts, Eva gives us tips on photography and her equipment. Have a shot lifting Eva by June 8 by posting your layouts here, and you may just be the winner of a $10 CatScrap GC.

I had a play and lifted Eva's Angel, the first layout I had ever seen by Eva and instantly fell in love with her gallery.
