Close out sale and a FREEBIE

Wow, I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. A lot has happened in the mean time. Though I thought most of my kidney trouble was over (for now), it seems quite the contrary is the case. The past weeks I have had severe renal pain attacks every few days. I don't have a stone that is in the way right now, so the doctor doesn't know why I have this. I had an extensive scan of my kidneys last week, but it will be a few more weeks before I hear about the results. All this has made me realise that I need to use my time more wisely to take care of my health and family. Though I truly love to design, it takes up a whole lot of time and I can't afford to put that in right now. I don't know if and when I will come back as a designer yet. It will depend on how things go.

But I don't want to just disappear quietly, so until my boutique closes on August 1st I'm having a CLOSE OUT SALE! All my complete kits are marked down by 50% and if you spend $7.50 or more you get an additional 20% off.

Also, I never got around to making a freebie quickpage for my new kit Country Sunshine when it came out, but I have one for you now.

Ok, so yours comes without the cute boys and text, but you can find it HERE.
I hope you have fun with it! And if you do, please leave a little love, 'cause I would love to hear what you think of it. :)

Now go on, off shopping you go! :)

New kit: Country Sunshine and a SALE!

Wow! I have so much going on right now!
First of all I worked into the wee hours of the night to finish up this new kit Country Sunshine:

The reason I wanted to finish it was so I could release it in time for the great sale we have going on at Divine Digital this weekend. Not only can you get all my products for 50% off, this new kit is only $2! But you have to hurry because this sale ends Sunday the 22nd at midnight (EST).

I also have my new challenges up and running now:

The hybrid challenge started on June 1st and this is the first project: Altered Monograms

I used Royanna Fritschmann's 4 The Boyz 2 to make these. More details can be found in the forum thread.

Also on June 15th I started Words We Live By. This month's word is Laughter (or Laugh) and this was my take:

These photos were taken last april and the idea was to get some nice pics of the boys, but of course Yared had to goof around. And daddy happily played along!

Now I first need to take care of our church magazine that I have to layout by Monday and after that I can get to some more designing!

New Paint It Yourself Alpha

I have a new alpha in my boutique in the Paint It Yourself series. You can color this any way you like to make it match your layout!

And there is much more 'painting' fun on the way. This will be the last alpha for now, but I'm working on a range of element sets that you can all color just the way YOU like. So keep an eye out!

Now exlcusive to Divine Digital

As of now I'm an exclusive designer for Divine Digital. I decided to stop selling at Bits 2 Kits, simply because I feel I cannot give enough time and attention to two sites at the same time. It's with mixed feelings, because the B2K team is really a friendly bunch and I had a lot of fun there. All my designs were already available at Divine and I will also contribute to the team mega kits from now on. Also, I'm starting two new monthly challenges in June: the Hybrid Challenge on the first of the month and the Words We Live By Challenge on 15th. These challenges are one more way of earning points for the Divine Rewards and who knows, there might be some extra prizes every now and then :)

The Hybrid Challenge will focus on a hybrid project every month with a description of the project, ideas, techniques you can apply and so on. This challenge will run for the whole month, to give you enough time to find your materials, make your project and still earn your point for the Divine Rewards.

Words We Live By gives you a little less time to earn your point, since it starts on the 15th of every month. Every month I will give you a single word to prompt your layout. It can be an emotion, something that describes your (or someone else's) personality, a state of mind, etc. You can use more words of course, for your title or journaling, but the word given for the challenge has to stand out from your layout in one way or another :)

I hope to see you around the forums!

Floralty at 50% off: TODAY ONLY

Especially for Bits 2 Kits' 1st anniversary you can get Floralty for 50% off. Only at Bits 2 Kits and TODAY ONLY, because every day this month there's another kit for a great bargain price! And don't forget the free quickpage you can get in the post below.

New product: Floralty and a SALE!

I have a new product up in my boutique, a kit called Floralty.
I have been working on this for quite a while, with all the hassle around my kidney stone, but finally it's done. (And my kidney stone will soon be done with as well!) It's a mix of royal colors, floral patterns and cardboard. I hope you like it!

As you may or may not know, I have had a large kidney stone stuck in the wrong place since late February. I have had a drain on my kidney since then, that makes sure that I don't have kidney pain and to preserve my kidney function. But that thing has been really annoying! Now on Tuesday I will go to the hospital to FINALLY have the stone removed. My operation will also be on Tuesday and I will probably be in the hospital for a couple of days. So to celebrate the end of this 2,5 month struggle I will put Floralty on sale for the time that I'm in the hospital. So that will be from Tuesday untill whenever I come back home. If I'm REALLY lucky that could already be on Thursday, but it could also be Friday or Saturday, who knows... I will also be marking down my other products, so this will be your chance to catch a great deal! And untill then you can enjoy this freebie quickpage!

Now at Divine Digital!

Woohoo! Yesterday I've been set up at Divine Digital! I'm so excited! Royanna is just wonderful. For me it was already daytime, but she was up into the wee hours of the night setting me up, while she is about to go on vacation today.
Of course that means I have to get all my products ready for my boutique. (love that fancy word!) So you can't see my boutique yet (well you could, but it's still empty lol), but I'm working on it. Also need to figure out how to add clickable blinkies to my sidebar here, so you can click right into my stores. So I'm off to work now, but I just had to share this!
