That the only important thing in life
Is a flower that dances
On the wings of time.

I will have a freebie for you tomorrow, but today I will be giving away random gift cards for $5 so just leave me a little note here if you'd like to win! :)

We wish you all a happy NSD

The April DAM issue is out / And the winner is....

Hi Ladies,

Thank you all so much for your fabulous comments on the Preserve It kit and more especially for your comments on the layouts made with the kit. I am so pleased to see the variety of favorite layouts that were picked and all your comments were very inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to browse through the gallery and look at all these pieces of Art.

I just went to Random Integer numbers to draw my lucky winning numbers and I just couldn't believe it when the two following numbers came out : 3 and 23 , just my birth date. And I was just so surprised that I closed the page without saving it to share with you.

So the two winners are #3 (Bobbie brake) who wins a GC of $7 to my store and # 23 ( Carolyn) who win a GC of $7 to Vinnie's store.We will send you an email.

And I am going to quote here what a dear friend just wrote to me : " I really like the fact that you have collaborated to release the Preserve It Kit. Scrapbooking is not about the choice od 84249 Spring kits or 91294 themed kits , it's about preserving memories and documenting own/child/family life".

The kit can be found in Pixel Canvas Store. It is even more special as some of the money collected will be donated to a charity, The Auckland Starship Childrens Hospital (see post below).
 "Preserve It" is a collaboration between Vinnie Pearce, Fei Fei's stuff and me and it is full of awesome and unique elements, ready-made word arts and coordinating papers to help you preserve your memories. This is one kit you don't want to miss.

ATTENTION: Prices in the store are in NZ dollars, the price of the kit in US dollars is $8.50.

Speaking of Vinnie, she was on the Goodmorning Show on the New Zealand TV to Promote her book on Digital scrapbooking ! You can watch the video of it on her blog! So exciting to get to see Vinnie's live and to see some sneak peeks of the book! Congrats Vinnie!

 

The new issue of DAM is out, and as always is alive with stunning Spring products, inspiration and beautiful downloads.
The layout featured on the cover is by fabulous artist Emi, and I am very excited as she has used Createwings and I's Collab kit Creation 23 to scrap this sweet and beautiful page!

 Laura Kannady and I bring you the ultimate Spring Style Guide with digital products, must-haves plus layout and color inspiration. Len Escobar takes us through the journey of scrapbooking in celebration of National Scrapbooking Day and Donna Doherty worked with our wonderful team of artists to bring you plenty of inspiration and ideas for Mother's Day. This issue is the perfect recipe to kick some life into your Spring creativity as well as inspire your inner artist with tutorials, ideas and fantastic free products!

Bye for now and have a wonderful week-end!
