I've got a secret to tell!

Hello,Ladies!
Have I got some great news for you!I had a hard time not to blog about it for the past few days!But now I'm allowed to tell all of you!....

I was chosen to become a designer at Digi Design Resort!Yeah!!And I have my first kit up in store!It's called A Love For Christmas and has 12 papers and 43 elements.Have a look!

I also made an add on to this kit which you can get by signing up for the Digi Design Resort Newsletter.The newsletter will be send out this Friday,so make sure to sign up in time.

I'm also busy with a few other kits at the moment,so keep your eyes open for them!

I also got my 1st CT Team!These girls totally rock,their layouts are just fabulous!Here are the names of my CT girls.

• Michaela aka Miss Ela
• Julia aka J Stockert
• Kelly aka Kelmichaels
• Kille aka Killena
• Mandy aka Mommamandy

And here are some of the lovely layouts that were made by my team.
By Killena
By Kelly (who also made my awesome banner!) By MichaelaBy Sabrina by Mommamandyand one by Julia
I also got an award from my friend TamaraD!Thanks so much Tam! I'm always amazed when I get an award because I never thought somebody really read my blog,hahaha!
Anyway here is what I'm suppose to do:I have to make a list of 6 things I love.
So here goes:

• My Children ~ They are my whole world.Without them I'm lost.
• My mom and dad! ~ They stood by me in times when there was no else to turn to,they are always willing to listen when I need to talk to somebody but most of all they love me for who I am!
• My computer ~ In particular the 19 inch screen hubby got me for my birthday!Will go nuts without my computer!
• Butterflies and Flowers ~ I love all kinds of butterflies and flowers,to me there is nothing more beautiful than a butterfly on flower.
• Music ~ The 1st thing I do in the morning when I wake up is to make some coffee,put on the radio and read my emails.(In that order,yes!)
• Animals ~ I adore animals and absolutely hate people that harm innocent animals!

And now I have to send this to 6 people.
In no particular order here goes

• The Scrapping Cop for her amazing CU Freebies
• Kimb for all the help she provided me in getting the right banking account for the shop and for being one of my inspirations to start designing.
• Carena for being my mentor in learning Photoshop and believing in me.Thanks my friend!
• Boo from Booland Designs ~ For all the gorgeous kits she make and being another of my inspirations in starting to design.
• All of the Booland Blossoms ~ What can I say?I love you all and thanks for being my friends!!!

Before I blabber anymore I will love you and leave you!
Hugs

Here comes your daily news paper!

Yes,I do have a lot of news for you,so get a cup of coffee!I've got so much news to share I really don't know where to begin!

Let me start off by saying thank you to everybody that commented on my In the garden kit as well as to those that send in layouts!While we're on this note let me show you some of the layouts I have received.

This one I've got from Carena.

The next one I received from Lina (Moonlightpearl) Thanks for the beautiful messages that you always leave!

The next one comes from Irene (Eye)

And last but certainly not least is one that has been made by Lois.She used a template by Colie's Corner.She also made the LO into a quickpage for you.

Click on the picture or here to download.

Some more great news that I've received is that I was chosen again by Mamrotka to be a guest CT member in November an December!I was a guest for her in July and August as well and really enjoyed working with her kits.The first kit I chose to work with this time is her fabulous Saroosh.Available at SAS.

Here is a layout I made with it.

A few days ago I applied to be a quality control checker at Pretty Scrappy and yesterday I got the mail that I was accepted.This job I thoroughly enjoy not just because I get to keep all the kits but also because I get to learn so much from it.

The sweet TamaraD from Scrappy Thoughts is looking for a few CT girls for her own personal team.You can have a look at her kits here.If you're interested contact me at scrapbrat36@gmail.com

Okay,that's all I have for now.I will be back later in the week with a new freebie kit that I'm working on.

Freebie from me to you on National Scrapbooking Day!

Hey,girls!
So are you enjoying National Scrapbooking day yet?I am! I just love gifts(who doesn't?) and can't wait to see what the designers have come up with.So I thought I would also give away a little freebie.Actually I've been trying for over a week now to get this freebie uploaded,but since my upload speed is so poor I only managed to get it up today.But rather late than never!

I've zipped it in 3 parts for those on dial-up,make sure you get all the parts.

Sorry,no longer available!

And if you make layouts with it,I would love to see them.Send me a link and I'll put them on my blog.

I also got a "Blog with a heart" award from my fellow South African scrapper Renee.Whenever I get an award I'm really amazed that somebody thinks my blog is worthy of a award since I'm such a bad blogger!Thank you so much Renee!Check out her blog for some awesome freebies,this is one talented lady!

So now it's my turn to send this award to somebody.And this is always the tricky party cause there is so much blogs that I think deserves the award but then I will sit here forever!

So here are my nominees:

NBK Scrap

Lara's Digi World

Angel in my pocket

Carena's Extravagance I want to thank Carena especially for helping me get to know Photoshop and for being so patient with me while learning.Carena,without you I couldn't have done it!Thanks a zillion!Remember what I said about Hollywood,the offer still stands!LOL!

Okay, I'm off to go and see what pressies all of the designers have for us.

Hugs and kisses
