You Go Girl!

August 7, 2008, 4:46 pm

I’ve got a new kit in my store at ShopJMT for a special price of just $2.00. It’s called You Go Girl! Go pick this up now at this special price. Next week it’ll be in my store at SBB and be the full price of $4.99.

This is a girly kit, but not in the traditional sense. It’s not full of flowers & bows, but of fun, funky colors with patterns and pieces that any tween or teen would enjoy!

Included are 8 papers: Pink “Girl”, Blue “Boy, 3 semi-solids (green with a sprinkling of confetti squares, pink with a sprinkling of confetti hearts and blue with a sprinkling of confetti circles), a bright starburst pattern in blue and green, a fun pink, black and white stripe and a sk8tr girl checkered print. Each grunged just enough and finished off with some swirly overlays or distresed edges.

Elements include: Foam pieces (green squares, pink and black circles and hearts, some come with alpha-bead adorned words like “Go” and “Girly”, word art in different forms (acrylic, sticker with epoxy words), lots of buttons (epoxy and traditional) in pink, blue and green, a graph journal square and one embellished with some word art and swirls, 2 ribbon bits and 3 black/white ribbons, some acrylic borders and frames embellished with “candy” sprinkles and an upper case alpha (made with foam circles and “glued” alpha beads).

Everything has been created at 300ppi. Papers are 12×12. All acrylic pieces come in a shadowed and non-shadowed version and all other elements have internal shadows only where needed.

And, I’ve got a bunch of fun, funky and bright girly-type items on sale for just $1.00. Check out my specials page to find all 6 of them.

My 2nd submission for FPD’s Teacher’s Pet

August 6, 2008, 7:04 am

I was fortunate enough to make it to the 2nd round of the Funky Playground Designs Teacher’s Pet Program. Our 2nd assignment was to create a pack of extracted elements. This is a stretch for me. I’m not much of a realistic designer, but I had fun & was actually inspired to create a whole kit or two from some of the elements I played around with for this challenge. So here is A Hodge Podge of Elements and you can get it here (no more passwords, so just grab it from the link in the gallery description):

Who knows what else is in store for this program, but I’m having fun playing along. And the nice thing about this program is that they’re trying to narrow down to people who they think might fit in at FPD. But if you don’t make it to the next round, you can still take part in the assignments, learn (the fabulous Chere Kaye is giving tips, hosting chats & providing tutorials). So for this month at least, I’ll be learning & honing my skills and hopefully creating fun, fresh and unique items for the challenges.

Jelly Buttons!

August 4, 2008, 6:49 am

I made up a cool new product called Jelly Buttons. I was originally going to call them just “37 pieces of flair” but then decided to use the name my DD & I often call her Belly Button. So here are Jelly Buttons:

They’re just $2.00 and you can get them at ShopJMT or SBB.

[And, in case you're wondering what "flair" is, here's a quote from the movie Office Space. Jennifer Aniston has to wear little buttons on her clothes for work - kind of like Friday's or a place like that.

"Joanna: You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?"]

WANT THIS FOR FREE? WELL GO HERE & GET IT!

Funky Playground Designs is having a little apprentice program & this was my submission for the first assignment, which was to create a “trendy” mini kit. My take on “trendy” is fun, bright colors & really cool shapes. Retro seems to be really in these days, too, so I had a retro theme in mind when I came up with the color scheme and patterns. As far as trendy elements, I see a lot of acrylic/epoxy and buttons (flair) seem to be really popular, too, so you’ll see some of that in here. You have to get the FPD Newsletter in order to get the password to unzip, though, so go get on the list now!

Race frenzy continues

July 16, 2008, 11:03 pm

Ugh. What a horrible 5K I did tonight. I didn’t even look closely at the clock when I finished, but it was around 36:30. I even walked some of it. It was hot, humid & hilly. Three things you don’t want for a race (or heck, anytime). Plus, I haven’t trained for this. I kind of took a break from hard training after doing the 10K and I paid for it. Plus, I ate dinner just before I left. Major mistake. A full belly doesn’t go well for an evening run. And, besides, the amazing food they had post-race, I just couldn’t enjoy because I was full from dinner. A local tavern sponsored the race and they had wings, hoagies, hot dogs, soft pretzels…all of my favorites! What was I thinking eating a full dinner before it?

Well, one thing for certain - I have to get back to training and training hard. I’ve gained 20 pounds since April - mostly because of the nasty prednisone I was on for hives for 5 straight weeks. And, man, I just can’t get that weight off. Plus, I’m still on the doxy for Lyme Disease (2nd round) and I get sick if I don’t eat enough before I take it. Just another week or 2 of this round of Doxy and then I’m done. I see the specialist the end of the month & we’ll decide what, if anything, I have to do next.

**Official race time now posted: 7-16-08 Phil’s Tavern 5K - 36:31

On a business note, I don’t think I ever posted about my kit, Ocean Life. It’s available at SBB and ShopJMT. At ShopJMT, you can get a special deal on the entire kit PLUS the brag book. At SBB, you can get everything individually or the full kit by itself.

Click the image for the kit PLUS brag book, or individually, here are the links for SBB: Solid Papers | Patterned Papers | Elements | Full Kit | Brag Book.

Race #4, 10K #2 down for the year.

July 4, 2008, 7:40 pm

Today’s 10K time: 1:11:10. It was the Washington Crossing Revolutionary Race and I haven’t run this one for quite a few years. I’ve actually never run the 10K, only the 5K, but it’s such a nice course, I want to do it more often. It’s kind of a hike to get there - I was up at 5:15 to get ready and the race starts early - the 10K at 8:30, but being in July, the weather can get quite steamy, so I guess that’s why the do it early. And already I’m looking at my next race coming up in a week and a half. It’s a 5K on Wed. 7-16. What am I thinking??!

I’m not sure I’ve actually blogged each & every race this year, so I want to keep track of it here:

2-16-08 Ambler Frostbite 5-miler - 53:12

5-10-08 Hatfield I Can Run 10K - 1:07:54

6-25-08 Tex Mex Race for Open Space 5K - Chip Time: 33:17, Gun Time 34:38

7-4-08 Washington Crossing Revolutionary Run 10K - 1:11:10

The preview is pretty clear on what’s in it;) You get a full kit, a paper pack plus 3 alphas, a double alpha set and a set of 30 labels.

The grab bag is on sale at SBE through Saturday, July 5th and you can pick it up for just $2.95. In additon, there’s a storewide sale going on at SBE and all of my items (with the exception of the grab bag) are 25% off.

I can’t wait to scrap with this - it’s just so darn cute! I’ve got a few more things to add to it before it’s released, but it’ll be worth the wait, I promise!
