There is a reason....

....that I have not been posting as often, or handing out as many freebies, or making as many new kits, or getting much done for that matter. Let's see if you can guess the reason. Here is a clue:Hopefully you all understood the clue. Morning sickness is the reason and it has been even worse the last week and a half. Not fun, but a good sign that all is going well with the little one inside. I am hoping to be over morning sickness here in a few weeks and get back to creating and crafting. I miss it so much, and the little I have been able to do wears me out.....my husband thinks I sleep all the time (and I do it seems like).
I made this page using my Spring Fever freebies and my Expecting Joy kit. To celebrate with you all I am giving you the Spring Fever freebies (2 mini kits) and the Expecting Joy mini kit again. Be sure to come back at visit to get all three of these mini kits. Enjoy.

And the winners are.....

Of course you all already know who they are just by looking at the results of the poll in right hand column. Nederland (Margret) with a whopping 60 votes and the honorable mention is Slumber (Jo) with 42 votes. So ladies, go ahead and send me you kit choices (3 for Margret and 1 for Jo)

Not as sad anymore

I have received some great entries but I am greedy ☺☺☺ and I want more!!!! I love seeing what you all come up with and I get ideas for my layouts. You still have a few days until the deadline, midnight MST on October 17th. For details on the Layout Contest go {HERE} Just to clarify, the 80% of PiccolinaDesigns stuff CAN come from freebies as well as purchased kits. Let you creativity flow.
Here is your CMW Orange alpha. As you can tell, it is not overwhelmingly orange, but I took designer liberties because I wanted to give you a fall themed alpha. I hope you enjoy it.LINK EXPIRED

I'm so SAD

No one has sent me an entry for the layout contest I advertised in my last post. No one wants to play :( I know I haven't been on much lately, but I still would really like to see your layouts.
Here are the rules again:
1. Make a layout using at least 80% Piccolina Design materials
2. Email me the layout at piccolinadesigns@yahoo.com
3. All entries need to be received by October 17th
4. I will post the entries on the blog on the 18th and we will have a little vote for our favorite layout.
What do you get if you are the favorite?
I'm glad you asked. You get 3, yes THREE, kits of your choice from my store.

I am also working like crazy on the Orange alpha. It took me so long to come up with a concept that I actually liked (I tossed a few because they just were not right), but I have one now if I could just get photoshop to play along and not freeze up on me. I think I need to go through my laptop again and free up some more space so photoshop has plenty of memory to run on. I hope to have the Alpha done this evening. I have not forgotten you all.
The runner up will get the kit of their choice from my store. So get to scrapping!!!!

I want to see YOUR layouts

Thank you for all the nice comments and email regarding the Out of this World kit. I am so glad you all liked it.
I have received a few emails asking when the expired parts of Color My World the Rich Colors will be available in the store. I have been trying for the last week to get them loaded into the store, but have been having quite a few issues with it. I have contacted the store owner to try and resolve the problem. Hopefully that will be soon. Just keep an eye on my blog. I will definitely advertise when they are available so that you can have the complete Color My World set.
I am thinking is is about time for another scrap challenge. Who wants to Play???? How to you play you ask.
