Must be those sometimes soaring but sometimes comfortable August temperatures luring us all to the ocean. Why am I rambling on about the beach? Oh, just because 1) I only got back from vacation a little over 24 hours ago (I'm still wishing my toes were in the sand though) and 2) All of my releases today are beach themed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://digitalscrapcafe.com/cafe/product.php?productid=19340&amp;amp;cat=255"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/Previews/SS_LabelLoveBeach_dscPREVIEW.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who doesn't have about a billion beach photos laying around?

I don't know if you have made this connection, but since it is the first of the month it is MIX A KIT DAY!!! That's right, all of ScrapMatters August Mix A Kit goodies are officially up in the shop and let me tell you...they are to die for. I had such a hard time picking all of my faves...I seriously want it all. Take a look at some of the goodies...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course you know I would be all over Elise's releases -- their a hoot (LOL)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9692&amp;amp;cat=281&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/images/cache/6bb3f8c8fc782c29fa470fabd20a24b2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9691&amp;amp;cat=281&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/images/cache/0c2a6eed39cc4f59dfd65f2acd423d21.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then of course my template obsession led me to Jenn Barrette Designs &amp;amp; True Blue Studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9677&amp;amp;cat=281&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/images/cache/239102576a1ee7f4f928f4719d244036.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9598&amp;amp;cat=281&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/images/cache/1554cb39dcfa7e51590ff8f80b3ec218.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I loved True Blue Studio template so much that I had to grab the elements also:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9594&amp;amp;cat=281&amp;amp;page=2"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/images/cache/d00268b44661d687eb9b0bdf45a53714.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then I thought to myself, I should probably grab some papers to go with these gorgeous elements, so I snagged some of Down This Road Designs &amp;amp; Hay Nay Designs fabulous papers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9608&amp;amp;cat=281&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/images/cache/da673ebd6254f30ea9caf27e199c5c66.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9452&amp;amp;cat=281&amp;amp;page=2"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/images/cache/065c5f193786f2242e699f39db59ad00.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I saw one of the most amazing element packs my nerdy self has ever seen in my life and it was all about BOOKS (courtesy of Plum Dumpling Designs)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/product.php?productid=9609&amp;amp;cat=281&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://shop.scrapmatters.com/images/cache/3369d710ac77984f1b8d5d7cc3439b3f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below are some of the layouts I have already made with these goodies and I know there will be more to come for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/196338/ppuser/4435"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/CTWORK/Books.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/196344/ppuser/4435"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/CTWORK/WhooLovesYa.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/196341/ppuser/4435"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/CTWORK/CrazyNight.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/196342/ppuser/4435"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/CTWORK/OwlLoveYou.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;[Click images to view full credits]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what are you waiting for?

I have some news to share before I get into the new products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I just signed with a second shoppe, &lt;a href="http://bits2kits.com/shop/"&gt;Bits 2 Kits&lt;/a&gt;. My shoppe there is now open and you can check it out [&lt;a href="http://bits2kits.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&amp;amp;cPath=23_156"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;].

You can purchase these from either my shoppe at M2 or B2K.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bits2kits.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=23_156&amp;amp;products_id=3894"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/Previews/SS_PrettyPattysPapers_PREVIEW.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These 10 papers were all inspired by St Patrick's Day and the Luck of the Irish templates. They can also be purchased from either M2 or B2K. Both of these products are great for all of your St. Patty's Day or luck-related layouts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, some wonderful CT inspiration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS%20CT%20LAYS/CT-Angi.jpg" /&gt; &lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS%20CT%20LAYS/CT-Meg.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS%20CT%20LAYS/CT-Meg2-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last up, don't forget about my "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" sale, now through March 17:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mootwodesigns.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&amp;amp;manufacturers_id=131"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS_M2MarchSale.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, happy scrapping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/simpleheartsiggy.png" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1413940212135965827-6325034417699772851?l=sankostudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/feeds/6325034417699772851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2011/03/luck-of-irish-pretty-pattys.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/6325034417699772851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/6325034417699772851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2011/03/luck-of-irish-pretty-pattys.html' title='Luck of the Irish &amp; Pretty Patty&apos;s'/><author><name>Manda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17236440861859771443</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oEtm1tjxVeg/SxGHre3iHCI/AAAAAAAAACU/OSqVS94xpVY/s1600-R/1025092024_COPY.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/Previews/th_SS_MyLuckyTemps_PREVIEW.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413940212135965827.post-8119746653068846754</id><published>2011-03-01T00:16:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-03-01T00:25:07.090-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CT Work'/><title type='text'>Afternoon Walk</title><content type='html'>Are you itching for spring as badly as I am?

I know that I am usually a huge advocate of journaling, but I wanted to step out of the box (and take you with me) to let some my photos do the talking for a change.

Sloppy Headliner</title><content type='html'>Good morning, ladies! I have two new releases for you today: a template set that will help you capture all of your wonderful daily memories and a neutral alpha perfect for any of your layouts! First up, my Go Photo-less Templates:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=4_249&amp;amp;products_id=2834"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/bmz_cache/4/4cdc3597792c85df3ed3bdade6c2e329.image.400x400.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This set of four templates was created specifically to help you document all of your great memories. Sure, photos are great, but sometimes it is the funny story, interesting anecdote, or long list of things to do that we want to remember 10 years down the road--and these can help you with that! Click the preview to view in my shoppe at MLAS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up, Sloppy Headliner Alpha:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=4_249&amp;amp;products_id=2835"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/bmz_cache/f/f1a2f2fe7336328cd34b04e522c32a75.image.400x400.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This alpha is neutral toned so it can add a whole lot of character to any of your layouts.  Alpha is all uppercase letters and includes numbers 0-9 &amp;amp; basic punctuation. Click the preview to view in my shoppe at MLAS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course I wouldn't leave you without CT inspiration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS%20CT%20LAYS/CT-Martina2.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS%20CT%20LAYS/CT-Martina1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS%20CT%20LAYS/CT-Meg2.jpg" /&gt;   &lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS%20CT%20LAYS/CT-Meg1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 250px; height: 250px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/SS%20CT%20LAYS/CT-Jamie1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy &amp;amp; happy scrapping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/simpleheartsiggy.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1413940212135965827-5459373608352751649?l=sankostudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/feeds/5459373608352751649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2011/01/go-photoless-sloppy-headliner.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/5459373608352751649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/5459373608352751649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2011/01/go-photoless-sloppy-headliner.html' title='Go Photoless &amp; Sloppy Headliner'/><author><name>Manda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17236440861859771443</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oEtm1tjxVeg/SxGHre3iHCI/AAAAAAAAACU/OSqVS94xpVY/s1600-R/1025092024_COPY.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413940212135965827.post-5663885631848058405</id><published>2011-01-27T04:17:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-01-27T04:23:24.508-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CT Work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Winter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scrap Kit'/><title type='text'>Winter Retreat</title><content type='html'>I come bearing great news this morning, ladies!

I am writing to you this Christmas Eve day with some great news for you: 1) it's Fantabulous Friday @ MLAS, 2) upcoming new products and 3) I have a HUGE Christmas freebie for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who do not know what Fantabulous Friday is, it is when designers put some of their products into a special category for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;50% OFF&lt;/span&gt; (or at least that's my understanding of it anyway, this is the first one I am participating in). So on this fantabulous friday, I have placed two of my products in this category and you can click the previews below to purchase them from MLAS for 50% off!! You better hurry, sale is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;today only&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=146&amp;amp;products_id=2794"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/bmz_cache/b/b0117d4089e147b263823724c2b94973.image.400x400.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=146&amp;amp;products_id=2796"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/bmz_cache/0/047ca0f683c33740b87bfb3c475064bf.image.400x400.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also placed 2 items in my shoppe at MLAS today. They are re-releases; sorry, nothing new yet. You can click the previews below to view/purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=4_249&amp;amp;products_id=2804"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/bmz_cache/b/b2606580ceb755e946b9554718921803.image.400x400.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=4_249&amp;amp;products_id=2805"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/bmz_cache/4/496fbc619e0a885fc96e610430dd0806.image.400x400.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, lets focus on the future a bit. I know I haven't had many new releases lately and I want to apologize for that. I just wanted to let you know that I am actually working on a number of new items. I just finished up my part of the MLAS Feb Collab as well as my part of their January Match-A-Scrap, both of which will obviously be releasing over the next two months. On January 3 I am hosting a template challenge at MLAS in which I just finished a fabulous alpha participation prive for. Also over the next several months you will see the following: Journaling Templates v.2, Inspired by Me Templates v.2, Hole Punch Heaven Templates, Meow Alpha, Essential Vellum Alphas, and re-working of some of the older template packs (V-day, St Pattie's Day, etc). If there is anything in particular you would be interested, please let me know -- I LOVE input!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, on to what you are really here for...the FREEBIE! This is something you have seen before, as it was released at LSS several months ago and has been sold for anywhere from $8-20, but I have it here for you FREE! I am actually retiring this pack to start from scratch and make a new on in the new year, but why just toss it in the recycling bin when I could give it to all of you instead!

I hope you all have a splendid &amp;amp; safe holiday today, whatever it is you will be doing. I interrupt your holiday celebrations to share news of two gorgeous new collab kits: Vintage Christmas and Snow Day (both of which are available at &lt;a href="http://www.thedigichick.com"&gt;The Digi Chick&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Vintage-Christmas.html"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/images/D/eh-RL-vintagechristmas-kit_LRG.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elise teamed up with Ruby Lane to create the stunning kit Vintage Christmas. This festive kit contains 25 papers, more than 40 elements, a set of brushes, and two full alphas. I have to say, this is one of my favorite holiday kits of all time. Below are a few layouts I made using Vintage Christmas, click images for full credits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/151538/ppuser/4435"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/CTWORK/NaughtyOrNice.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/151540/ppuser/4435"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/CTWORK/OhChristmasTree.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/gallery3/showphoto.php/photo/151535/ppuser/4435"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/CTWORK/HolidayOutcast.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now onto the next beauty...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/Snow-Day-by-Elise-and-Nikki.html"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/images/D/eh-ne-snowday-kit_LRG.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elise collaborated with Nikki Epperson Designs to bring us Snow Day.

I am sad to report that this probably will not change any time soon.  In addition to wanting to rip my hair out due to juggling time between work and school and my somewhat minor creative block, Murphy has visited me again.  My life enjoys reminding me that anything can and will go wrong, as it has yet again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Backstory:  I noticed that my computer had been running fairly slow so I decided to move all of my digiscrap and music files over to an external hard drive.  Long story short, half of my digiscrap files went missing and I now have next to nothing to scrap with.  I only have scrap kits up to folder letter "M" and I have lost all of my templates, word art, and alpha.  Unfortunately, I have not purchased a winning powerball ticket as of yet so I am unable to re-purchase products I used to have or purchase any of the fabulous new products I have been drooling over.  That said, I have been sitting here in tears all morning trying to figure out if there is a way to recover the missing files.  Of course, the one day I actually feel inspired enough to open PSP and start scrapping this happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*deep breath*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But anyway, on to more exciting news.  As you can see, my blog has a new look thanks to HK Designs' and Marshmella Designs new collab kit "A Mother Like No Other."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://digitalscrapink.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=6_44&amp;amp;products_id=470"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://digitalscrapink.com/shop/bmz_cache/9/9cb8c80c55acdde34e6376ee64c41545.image.550x550.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, this kit is very versatile which is one of the many reasons I am totally in love with it.  "A Mother Like No Other" has 12 papers and 52 elements.  You can purchase this stunning kit at DSI by clicking on the preview above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully I will be able to clear my head [and eyes] to create an actually layout with this kit sometime today because it really is gorgeous and I would like to share it with you...but for now, this is all I have for you.  As always, happy scrapping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/simpleheartsiggy.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1413940212135965827-5174328768906463293?l=sankostudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/feeds/5174328768906463293/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2010/04/bad-news-and-new-mommy-day-kit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/5174328768906463293'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/5174328768906463293'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2010/04/bad-news-and-new-mommy-day-kit.html' title='Bad News and New Mommy Day Kit'/><author><name>Manda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17236440861859771443</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oEtm1tjxVeg/SxGHre3iHCI/AAAAAAAAACU/OSqVS94xpVY/s1600-R/1025092024_COPY.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413940212135965827.post-7858084640185510931</id><published>2010-03-17T13:36:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-17T13:52:18.266-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Template'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Word Art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Freebie'/><title type='text'>News, New, and Freebie</title><content type='html'>First things first I have some exciting news.

That's right, as of today I am officially selling my creations in their fabulous shoppe.  No worries, I will definitely still offer freebies, but truthfully, I just really need some extra income.  Bad news is that I pulled a couple old freebies and placed them in the shoppe because I feel they are some of my best and/or favorite work.  Good news is that I still have a freebie for you today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, on to the new product. I just posted templates 36-40 in the shoppe, all of which are Saint Patrick's Day themed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.angel-dreams-boutique.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=3_35&amp;amp;products_id=73"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/Previews/SWM_Templates36-40_Preview.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see from the preview there are five templates.

I know this is highly unlikely, but I would prefer you actually answer one of my questions prior to D/Ling the freebie...a girl can dream, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First things first, I hope you all are doing well.  Question #1:  What do you want from me?  I have kind of hit a block lately and I don't really know what to make--do you prefer templates, dates...what?  And feel free to get specific...I love your suggestions.  If you see something you like on a gallery, send me the link.  Of course I will not copy it exactly because that is stealing and one of my biggest pet peeves ever, but I will do my best to put my own spin on it and still get you what you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question #2:  Does anyone know of any shops looking for designers?  Please please please do not worry because I will still post a good deal of freebies, I am just desperate for a little extra income; I know a lot of you can identify with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question #3:  What are you doing later today?  For those of you who have not heard yet, there is a SpeedScrap on SM today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapmatters.com/forums/showthread.php?p=107996#post107996"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa91/abcmomof4/speed-scrap-ad-WEB1-30.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This is the first one that I will be attending and I'd love to see you there too!  Click the image to go directly to the thread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question #4:  Does anyone know how to password protect D/Ls on 4shared?  I don't want to do it with all of them, but I feel it would come in handy from time-to-time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question #5:  I think my blog is ready for a makeover--suggestions?  More specifically, is anyone looking for some extra eyes on their work?  I always like to offer my blog up as advertisement before just choosing a kit to use.

I sat down to get a bit of scrapping in and had trouble finding the energy and creativity to come up with anything.  Instead, I roamed around the net looking at some new releases, checking my email, etc.  In my inbox I found an email from one of the fabulous girls I do CT work for [Amanda of Amagination] with links to her brand-spanking-new kit Sarai.  I D/Led and opened to kit and to my surprise I was almost instantly inspired.  So, first I will show you the kit, then the layout I made using it, followed by all the goodies I have for you inspired by it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://scrapitsassy.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=20_230&amp;amp;products_id=8147"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://scrapitsassy.com/shop/images/AmaginationSaraiPrev.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This kit has 15 papers and 43 elements, along with a coordinating alpha [D/L separately &lt;a href="http://scrapitsassy.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=20_230&amp;amp;products_id=8144"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;].

You have my permission to make it into a brush, that is what I did with it afterall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now onto the templates.  I have two new templates [three, technically] for you &amp;amp;&amp;amp; you can click the previews below to D/L.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/162196838/5aacc8bc/SWM_Template_2.html"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/Previews/SWM_Template2_Preview.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/162196925/3cc4ef77/SWM_Template3.html"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/Previews/SWM_Template3_Preview.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all for now.

I know it is a day early, but the holidays are among us and that means things are CRAZY busy [translation: I don't want to wait until tomorrow and end up forgetting].  Today is my day off and once again instead of being productive and getting all of the things on my to do list done, here I am scrapping, designing, and doing everything except what I set out to do today.  So, before I get to all of that productive nonsense, I thought I would drop in to share some of my recent layouts with you.  I have five layouts to share, going from oldest to most recent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am really not a fan of this layout, but it is slowing growing on me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/YoureMyStar.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is obviously SO SO SO true!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/ScrapAddict.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never believed it when I was in college, but it really was an awesome time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/MissYouTwin.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random fact: My mother took at least one picture of me on a carousel a year.  She has a frame in the shape of a carousel horse she puts them all in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/CarouselFun.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last but certainly not least, the layout I just made today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/GiveThanks.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Originally I was going to wait to post this until Friday as some sort of weirdo Black Friday promo, but I know I will be too busy and forget, so I have a freebie for you today.  I have made templates for my own use in the past, but I have never actually posted any for others to use.  Well, today that all changes, as I am bringing to you SWM Template #1 [click preview to D/L].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/159810665/ed687b82/SWD_Template1.html"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/Previews/SWD_Template1_Preview.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy &amp;amp;&amp;amp; happy scrapping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 199px; height: 178px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/fallleavessiggy1.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1413940212135965827-8431994297536384498?l=sankostudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/feeds/8431994297536384498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2009/11/recent-creations-and-freebie.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/8431994297536384498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/8431994297536384498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2009/11/recent-creations-and-freebie.html' title='Recent creations and a freebie'/><author><name>Manda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17236440861859771443</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oEtm1tjxVeg/SxGHre3iHCI/AAAAAAAAACU/OSqVS94xpVY/s1600-R/1025092024_COPY.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/Previews/th_SWD_Template1_Preview.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413940212135965827.post-6772885792078021082</id><published>2009-11-20T16:13:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-16T15:01:36.422-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CT Work'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scrap Kit'/><title type='text'>Back to Nature</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.godigitalscrapbooking.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&amp;amp;cPath=29_148&amp;amp;products_id=5434"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://www.godigitalscrapbooking.com/shop/images/hkd_btn_collab_preview.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heather of HK Designs just launched an amazing new kit today titled "Back to Nature."

I mean, I know that there are far more talented people out there and I still have a lot to learn, but I didn't think I was a royal failure at this passion of mine.  Unfortunately, it seems many others do.  As part of my CT requirements, I try to play the praise game at DST; when I do, I go through &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;at least&lt;/span&gt; 2 or 3 pages, leaving comments for the people who posted on those few pages before me.  How many do I get in return?  Well, on the last two I posted (the one of Christina &amp;amp; Gilmore Girls using Eve by Amagination), I got 4 and 6 comments.  Yeah that's right, single digits.  The most comments I have on any layouts there is 8 [this layout was also listed in praise game].  I mean, I don't expect everyone to fall at my feet and worship my work, but when I leave comments on certain layouts that already has three pages or 30+ it makes me feel like I am basically just wasting a whole lot of my time.  I have no intention of quitting because I just love it too much; I just wanted to vent my frustration.  Thanks for reading or at least scrolling by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, on to other things.  Like I mentioned in a previous post, I am totally addicted to the challenges over at ScrapMatters forum.  Well, my addiction has been growing because so far this month I have done eighteen challenges [and yes, I am aware that I have done more challenges than there is days in this month so far].  Below are some of the layouts I created for these fabulously addicting challenges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/FallBdayGirl4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/LoveAlways.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/MeowyChristmas.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/OctoberDays.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/Pagoda.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/SickTired.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/newhair111109.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 387px; height: 387px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/SCRAPPINGWITHMANDA/OTHERLAYS/nails.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;You know what I love most about these challenges?  A lot.  First of all, they are challenging...duh!  I love being challenged to look at my photos from a different perspective and create something I normally wouldn't.  Secondly, I don't always have the best creativity and these challenges give me a little push.  Template challenges obviously give me a good starting grounds, grand theft layout gives me a basis to run with, in living color allows me to build an entire layout from colors before I even choose a photo, inspiration challenge lets me find inspiration in places I would never think to look, everyday magic gives me a topic to focus on...oh, the list goes on!  And lastly, I love that the girls over there actually care.  They spend so much of their time on there helping people, creating addicting challenges, and praising the work of SM member...it's absolutely fabulous! *Side note: my layout comments actually reach the double digits there...well into them!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, whether you are a seasoned scrapper or a beginner...or even someone thinking about getting started, head over &lt;a href="http://www.scrapmatters.com/"&gt;there&lt;/a&gt; and at least check it out.  No one says you have to dive right in to the challenges, they have plenty more to offer [you absolutely HAVE to check out the shop while you're there though because these ladies are TALENTED!].   So, what are you waiting for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy scrapping!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 201px; height: 181px;" src="http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv20/fddx3/fallleavessiggy1.png" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1413940212135965827-3642814408750740860?l=sankostudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/feeds/3642814408750740860/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2009/11/rant-and-some-lays.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/3642814408750740860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1413940212135965827/posts/default/3642814408750740860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sankostudio.blogspot.com/2009/11/rant-and-some-lays.html' title='Rant and some lays'/><author><name>Manda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17236440861859771443</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oEtm1tjxVeg/SxGHre3iHCI/AAAAAAAAACU/OSqVS94xpVY/s1600-R/1025092024_COPY.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
