Is it Friday yet?!?!?

Friday is the big day...my little girl will be making her grand debut. I am excited, nervous, anxious, tired...you name it I am feeling it or have felt it these last couple weeks.

Now onto some business...I just released my 2 kits from SYTYCD at Elemental Scraps. Each is priced at just $2.99 (but if you wait for just a little bit you might find them on sale *hint hint*) Also check out some of my other newer releases:
 
 
 
 

And probably my favorite alpha right now:
 
You can find all these in my store at Elemental Scraps!!

Also I am pleased to announce that BZB Designs is now S4O/S4H friendly!!

I have decided to change my TOU to allow S4O/S4H. This new TOU is retro active and includes all previous releases & freebies:)

If you would like a copy of my TOU you can view it on online or download a hard copy here.

Feelin Chatty???

 
Tell me what digi-scrapper couldn't use a 1 TB EHD?!?!?!? Check out more info at DSA!!

So much to say....

Where to begin, oh where to begin....Let's start with SYTYCD. Sadly I was only able to submit kits for the first two weeks. I did make it to the 3rd week but instead I ended up being hospitalized with pregnancy related stuff and missed the deadline. It's ok though...I am doing much better now, I had a lot of fun, created 2 pretty cool kits (if I do say so myself) and will definitely be trying again next year. You can still download my week one kit Tween Scene as well as my week 2 kit Capture the Everyday:

 
Remember you have to be logged in & registered at DSA to do so!!

Next it's Monday which means it's new release day at Elemental Scraps. It's also the first Monday of the month so that means Color Play!! Here's what's new from me this week:

KISS: June

KISS: Cards Volume I

Shabby Charm

Kinda Random

Take Stock: June Color Play

Now normally new releases are 25% off for today only. However, I am the featured designer at ES for the week so you can find my whole store, including new releases, marked down 40% for the entire week!!

Have a great Monday everyone!!

SYTYCD Week 1 :)

I decided to enter DSA's So You Think You Can Design this year. I was very surprised to learn that I actually made the first cut. You should see the list of amazing designers competing. Any-who....week 1's challenge was pretty simple. They gave us 4 different color swatches to pick from and all we had to do was complete a kit/mini kit of our choice. I picked this very bright swatch:

Something about it just called to me. So here it is my submission for SYTYCD Week 1: Tween Scene:
 
 

You can download it from herein the gallery at DSA. Remember you must be registered & logged in to view & download. There is also a contest for Scrappin' with the SYTYCD kits too!! Check it out here.

We find out today who makes it on to next week. I am super nervous. Like I said there is some major talent in this baby.

Celebrate NSD at Elemental Scraps!!

I have gotten a few inquires about Maddie's Garden. I want to let everyone know that yes I will be putting it in the store. I am just tweaking a few things already in it and adding some stuff too. I hope everyone will be pleased with the outcome.

Also since it's Monday that means a new sketch in Scrapbook Challenges:

And here is my page using Urban Wasteland:
 

Have a great Monday :) 

Updates, Updates, Updates....

Update #1 : Seth
Seth surgery was a complete success. He was a real champ. Remember how I didn't know how they expected a two year old to lay on his back for 2 weeks?!?! Well this is how they do it:

They literally kept him tied down to the bed the entire time. The poor little guy was a real champ about it. I think it actually might have been tougher on me than him. We have been home for just about 2 weeks now and still trying to get back on schedule.

Update #2: Baby 2
Everything is going good. I am just about 24 weeks. At my last appointment my Dr. did start to see some signs of the problem that I had with Seth. For the next 10 weeks I just have to take it easy and see what happens. Fingers crossed I can carry this little girl full term. Other than that she is growing like a weed and kicking like crazy. We just got a BUNCH of clothes in the mail from my MIL. Man are little girls clothes cute or what?!?!? 

Update #3: Travel Time :)
My little brother made it back to the States safely from Iraq and I am so excited. Not just because he is home but because Seth and I are going to be able to go see him!! I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since he visited us here in Germany. Anyhow, we worked things out and I got the ok to travel from the Dr. so the two of us will be flying out next Friday to Washington State. Not only will I get to see Kaelin and the rest of my family & friends but I will be attending the wedding of a great friend who I haven't seen in AGES, taking Seth to his first ever Daffodil Parade, and doing some shopping :) I can't wait!!

Finally Update #4: Design Stuff...
Check back Monday for an exciting announcement. I will leave you with these for now :)
 
   
 

Have a great weekend :) 

u+me=love mini

Here it is week 3 in the competition and I really hit a creative road block this week. I thought I would never get this kit finished. For this week first we were given 2 different color palettes to pick from. Then we also had to include:
5 patterned papers and 5 solids. The patterns should include 1 stripe and 1 dotted pattern.
1 full alpha including numbers and at least 4 punctuation characters.
1 doodled element
1 extracted element (Have I mentioned I still don't like extractions much)
1 word bit
1 word art
1 journaling block or tag
Something metal
10 elements total including all those listed above.

The color palettes that Amanda picked out were rockin. I just couldn't get anything going. In the end I am happy with what I came up with and I hope you all like it too. I *think* I met all the requirements. I was so frazzled in the end I am not sure lol. So here it is, my kit for this week u+me=love :

Kit Includes:
12 Papers (6 Patterned & 6 Solid)
Full Glitter Filled Acrylic Alpha (Upper & lower case, numbers & some punctuation)
1 Frame (extracted by me)
1 Set of Ladies Undergarments
1 Pair of Men's Boxers
1 Paper Heart with Metal Arrow
3 Acrylic Tags
5 Word Bits
1 Love Word Art
1 Journaling Block (2 versions included)
1 Staple

Sorry links have expired.  

On a personal note my little guy is having reconstructive surgery to fix a small birth defect Monday morning. The surgeon said it's a pretty common surgery, he preforms one to two a day. So I am not too worried about the surgery itself. It's the two week hospital stay that follows that I am not looking forward too. I don't know how they expect it to happen but, my two year old has to sit still in a hospital bed the entire two weeks. If he doesn't and he moves too much he could rip his stitches and then they will have to start all over again. The little guy doesn't sit still for two minutes and they want him to lay there for two weeks?!?!? It should be interesting to say the least.

Finally just an FYI the links for Maddie's Garden will be taken down next Friday night/Saturday morning after I get home from the Hospital. Since only one parent is allowed to stay at a time I have the weekdays & my hubby is taking the weekends with the little guy.

Monday means...

A new sketch in Scrapbook Challenges:

And here is my take:

Goodnight Moon {Credits Here}

Jacque Larsen also has a new set of her paper pieces out today at FPD (she is a guest there this month):
 
Check them out here!!

And here is a LO that I did using Park Play and also Maddie's Garden (scroll down to yesterday's post to pick it up!!):
 
Monkeying Around {Credits Here}

Last I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be taking the links for wish * dream * fly down Friday night. So there is still some time to grab it if you haven't already. Have a great Monday :)
