And, for anyone interested in a bit of family news and a MIRACLE... (you can skip the rest if you're just interested in digi-scrap stuff ;) We had an incident almost 2 weeks ago, that we are SOOoo very thankful didn't turn out worse than it did! Our 16yod, Eliza, was at work, taking garbage out to the parking lot, and she got literally RUN OVER by a van!! The driver didn't look before backing up, and knocked her down (left a big dent in his van - and he didn't even feel it or know he had hit her!), and then DROVE OVER HER FEET!!

Thank God the janitor was outside, and yelled at the driver, because driver did not realize he had hit her, and would have kept backing up, and probably would have killed her! We spent about 6 hours in the E.R., where Eliza was X-rayed head-to-toe about 3 times each body part, and she had only ONE small fracture/crack in her right pelvis, and it is above the weight-bearing part of the bone, so she did not need anything done - no surgeries, no casts... just a pair of crutches that she used for about 3-4 days because her hip was sore (ya think???) AMAZING and an absolute MIRACLE in my book! The ER staff were all surprised and amazed that she came out as well as she did too! (in fact, when we went back for a dr. appt. to re-check her hip, the dr. (who was the assistant of the one who saw her in the E.R.) said, "OH - you're that girl who got run over by the VAN with no serious injuries!!" (apparently it was a topic of conversation among the docs who saw her! hahaa!)

You don't even want to know how I panicked when I got a phone call saying she had been run over, and that her feet had been crushed... talk about the WORST phone call of my life! David (13yos) and I jumped in the van and headed for the hospital, and I was so crazy I missed THREE exits on the way, and had to loop around a couple times to finally get to the hospital! (a little stressed, maybe??) LOL! (yeah, I can laugh NOW, but I sure wasn't laughing then!) I imagined her needing multiple surgeries on both feet, and was terrified for her, as I know how terrible foot surgery can be! (have had a couple myself, and the last one was almost worse than my major back-surgery!)

The docs were thinking about keeping her overnight just to make sure she didn't get "compartment syndrome" from the crush-injuries to her feet, but they decided she didn't need to, as after several hours there was still NO SWELLING at all of her legs, so they thought she'd be fine. I actually was thinking it might be better for them to keep her overnight, just to be sure, but they re-assured me that everything looked amazingly good, considering what had happened. My poor kid was in pain though, for several days, on pain meds and stayed home from work, hung out on the couch. She really did amazingly well though, and now, just a couple weeks later, you'd NEVER know she had been RUN OVER by a VAN!!! AMAZING and a MIRACLE, if you ask me! We are so thankful that Eliza is okay!

Other than that, we've been going to the lake several week-ends, and headed there again this week-end, as my brother and his family will be there. They couldn't be there for the 4th, so we'll be celebrating it again this week-end! The kids/cousins all have such a great time together! :)

Thanks for looking! Hope you are having a wonderful week!

New HoundsTooth Papers and Alpha at SBE! (and FREE SAMPLER for you!)

Hello!

Just a quick post about my new-releases this week at ScrapBook-Elements.com! I have a new paper-pack and alpha, and if you like "Houndstooth" patterns, you will love these!

The paper-pack has 15 different houndstooth-patterned papers, in a mix of classic houndstoothe and some more modern houndstooth patterns, in a wide range of colors. There is sure to be something to match your pages! (and with just a couple of tiny tweeks, you can, of course, easily change the colors of the papers as well!) All are beautifully textured with a linen-like texture that is so realistic you can almost feel it when you look at them!

Get the paper-pack HERE.

These papers coordinate with my Slightly Shabby Essential Solids (also at SBE, HERE)


And here is the alpha - coordinates with the black-and-white paper:

Find the alpha HERE

The alpha includes a silver chain (18" - long enough so you can hang it diagonally across a 12" page if you want to) and an O-ring, which you can "weld" onto the alpha pieces. I left them un-connected so that you could use the letters both with and without the rings, AND, if you do attach the rings, you can place them however you want, so you can hang each letter at whatever angle you want, and still have it look realistic (like it is hanging at the correct angle, depending on where you place it). I have included a mini-tutorial on how to attach the O-rings so they look like they are attached, or soldered/welded together.

Both sets are available at ScrapBook-Elements, HERE.

They are on sale with introductory-price special, today and tomorrow, 25% off - ends Monday at midnight!


And I have a sampler for you! It includes 2 of the modern houndstooth patterned papers, and a word-art piece I made with the alpha - I have included it both with and without O-rings attached, so you can hang it (or not) if you like.

OK! That's it from me, for now! If you didn't see my post yesterday, take a look at that one, as there is another freebie posted there too. You can download this sampler here: (all 3 links are for the same file - just click one!) ;)

Hope you enjoy these! If you make any pages using them, I'd love to see them! Thanks for stopping by today - Hope you have a wonderful week!

New Houndstooth Designs for CU, and free sampler!

Good morning! I have just added some Houndstooth Designs for CU to my ScrapDish store, and I have a little sampler for y'all too! Here is the new houndstooth-for-CU set:



and a closer look at some papers made with the 3-layer template and some of the other overlays/templates (I used them as clipping masks):


3 of those are made with the layered template, and the rest are papers that were made with the other templates/overlays, and are included with my new 'Houndstoothe Heaven" paper-pack that is coming to my ScrapBook-Elements shop tomorrow!

And, I have put together a little sampler of 3 papers made from the layered template! They do not coordinate with each other, as I wanted to show some of the variety of looks that can be achieved with the template, but hopefully someone will find some use for them! One of them would look great on a July-4th page! They look like this:


You can grab the sampler by clicking on the image(s) above, or HERE.

And HERE is an alternate link for you as well! (same stuff - don't click both!) ;) This is a rather large file (a bit over 60 MB), as 2 of the papers are the "tattered and worn" style that have to be saved in .png format rather than .jpg, resulting in larger files.

The Houndstooth Designs for CU is on special introductory price sale, for just 3 days, 25% off! So grab them while they're reduced-price (sale price = $4.49, regular price = $5.99) and start making many varieties of houndstooth papers and elements! :)

Okay! that's it from me for now - but I'll be posting again tomorrow (Sunday) with a couple of fun new things that will be released in my shop at ScrapBook-Elements.com! I will also have a little tutorial on "welding" a metal O-ring to metal-rimmed alpha elements, to turn them into charms!

Hope you have a wonderful week-end! Thanks for popping in! :)

$1 Sale! Glitter-Edge Layer-style (CU OK!) AND NEW Quick Clean-N-Trim Action - on sale too!

Happy Friday! :)

Just a quick note about a couple of sales! Today is Fabulous $1 Day at ScrapDish, and I've got one of my Glitter-Edge Layer-styles (CU OK) on sale for a buck! This one:



(click on image to go the item in my ScrapDish store)

Be sure to check out the dollar-bin as well, cuz I've got lots of stuff in there too!

AND, I've got some new ACTIONS that I'm very excited about! First is a set for Photoshop - Quick Clean-N-Trim Action Set:



(You can click that one to go to my shop as well)

This set of 2 actions makes is SUPER-quick to trim your .png elements - fabulous time-saver for designers! One action simply trims your element, leaving a 3-pixel space around it, so you won't have any parts of your elements cut off (no more cut-off straight edges on buttons!) and the other action also trims your elements, but it also includes stops, instructions, and a brush pre-set for cleaning up any stray pixels and/or jaggies in your element, and THEN it trims and saves them for you in a flash! (also with a 3-pixel space to protect your edges and shadows, etc. from being cut off) SO handy! I use these on all of my elements when putting them in kits. The Clean-N-Trim one is my final quality check before I package up stuff.

These actions are tested and work in PS-7, and PSCS through CS4.

AND... I've got a similar set coming out very soon for PS ELEMENTS users! This will REALLY be helpful for Elements-users, since Elements does not include a "trim" command/feature - but it works in the action!! So this can REALLY save a lot of time for you Elements gals! Hopefully I'll have the Elements Action-Set in my store either later today, or tomorrow. I'm just waiting to hear back from one tester before I upload to my shop. They work in PSE-4 through PSE-7, and I'm waiting to hear about PSE-3.

Besides being great for designers, they are nice to have, because not all designers do trim their elements, but rather they leave extra space around them. All that extra space adds up, and ends up taking a lot of extra space on your hard-drive. SO, if you have many .png elements that are not trimmed properly, these actions can save you a lot of space on your hard-drive!

OK! End of commercial! Hope you have a wonderful week-end! :)

Want to win a one TERABYTE EHD??? (I know *I* do!! LOL!)

Check out this fun contest at DSA:



Cool, huh? I'll never win, cuz I just don't have enough time to post that often, but someone is sure going to win a great prize! Good luck! :)

I'll be posting tomorrow (later today, really - it's almost 2 AM and I'm going to bed now!) about my new action set for trimming .png elements and a quick-clean-n-trim for designers - great time-saver! See y'all in the morning! :)
