September Desktop Challenge at ESS

I'll be co-hosting the Desktop Challenge at ESS and I'm kicking it off with September's challenge.



I used my soon to be released kit "What a Hoot!" Here is a closer look:



I hope you join me!

STORE UPDATE: I originally wanted to open my store at ESS on my birthday, however I've just been too busy. I moved and don't have internet at home yet. That being said I've decided to open on September 1st, my store at STS will be closing on the 31st of August. I'll have some RAK's before then.

Happy Scrapping!

August Desktop Challenge

I just posted August's Desktop Challenge, make sure to check it out. I think it'll be a fun one. This month I want you to be happy and motivated! You may scrap your desktop however you wish. I scrapped myself a birthday desktop, since I will be turning 30 on the 20th! I'm excited, I love birthdays. The picture is my motivation. That's me... or at least it was me. That picture was taken the night before I found out I was pregnant. In the year before getting pregnant I lost 50 pounds by eating healthy and working out. I've been putting it off, but I finally started getting active again. I need to get healthy. That picture is meant to motivate me - I've done it before and I can do it again.



Do you like it? I used my new kit... the one I mentioned earlier. I love it! You can also pick up the calendar in the challenge thread.

Here is an update on my new found motivation to walk. I took today off because I didn't sleep very well last night. In the last week I walked a total of 22 miles, all while pushing my son! Isn't that great?! I know it does not compare to how much I was working out before, but I am on my way...

I'll be back tomorrow, Gypsy Couture is releasing a new kit and I have a very special layout to share. Speaking of which, you can win her kit here.

A New Challenge, Some Layouts And A Chance To Win!

WOW! After the slow month I had in June, I'm back with a vengance, huh? Let me tell you that every single layout in this post will feature my new kit Celebrate!



First, I forgot to let you all know that the new July Desktop Calendar Challenge is up.

This is my desktop:



Here is Sandra's:



Now, for a little eye candy. Jamie of Every Ever After Designs agreed to guest CT for this kit, isn't that sweet? Here is her layout:



This one is from Chris, I love how she used my stitched flag paper.



If you are not in the US or Canada, you can still use the kit just as Ányi did here.



Here is Noelle's take on the kit:



Now... do you want to win this kit? I've started a thread in the Blog To Win section of the forum. Check it out here. Good luck!

New Desktop Calendar Challenge

I know I'm late in posting, but I wanted to let you know that I am hosting a new Desktop Calendar Challenge over at STS. The prompt will be different every month, this month is a Sketch Challenge. You can check it out here.



Oh... one more thing- you can consider my sample desktop a sneak peek of a new kit I'm working on. Take care, I'll be back soon.
