Hey everyone!!! Just popping on whilst on vacation at our cabin on Lake Erie because I had to show you the incredible sale going on today at Scrap Matters! It’s Christmas in July and if you are in the North East like me… you are wishing for a break from this 100 degree heat wave we are in… now I know you are thinking ‘Arizona has heat like this all the time!’ TRUE! But add into that our lovely humidity and it’s like a KILLER! Sigh…. so I am feeling Christmas in July!
Enjoy!!
Hey guys!! Wanna a really cute freebie template??? Pop over to DigiScrap Cafe and snag this little cutie from Mary a/k/a Proudtxmom! Really a cute template!
Don’t miss it!!!
I love this kit by Shannon! I think it MIGHT be my favorite from her ! I like it’s versatility (boy/girl) and because you can use it for a lot of pics!
And this month you get the Add-On FREE!!!!
Automatically added to your cart with purchase during the month of July!
Here are some layouts I made with this kit!!!
My daughter at Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California!
My two girlies on our uncle’s boat in New Melones Lake!
Be sure to snag this up before the end of the month to grab that Add On for free!!!! Stay tuned for more announcements. I am starting to get back on this blog thing!!! Yee Haw!
Later!
Well, to be short and sweet… VERY BUSY! I am working multiple jobs (that probably all add up to one full time job), but I love them all too much to leave any of them! I have also be scrapping the nights away for my creative teams. I had no clue I missed scrapping (like regularly) so much when I was designing! So now I have tons of pictures to catch up with! I am really lucky to be on the teams I am on.
But yet…. still I am a slacker because I said I was going to start posting my layouts here and I haven’t! SHAME SHAME SHAME!!
Here I am though, to say YAY I am a guest this month for Lyndsay Riches and I am PUMPED! She has a new collab out with Laura of simply.scraps called 2 Peas in a Pod and here is a cutie I created with this little number!
Here is the adorable collab!
I’ll be back with some more!!! Stay tuned 
Hi everyone! I am going to be ‘reinventing’ this blog for my new ’scrapping’ needs instead of my ‘designing’ needs!! I hope you guys will stick around to see all the cool stuff I am creating. I will give away a random ‘freebie’ or two from time to time!! Probably one coming soon… if I were you I’d stay tuned
((hugs to all))

Hi everyone. Well this is something I have been putting off for a week or so. I have decided to close up my shops and take a break from designing. I have some mixed emotions about it, but I know it’s the best thing for me right now.
There are a few reasons, but the majority of them stem from how much time I spend on my computer on a daily basis. I love designing but lately the competition has begun to get to me. I have started questioning my style wondering if I should ‘change me’ to sell more, and that doesn’t make sense. I have to be me, right? The second reason is that I have really gotten away from scrapping my own youngsters, and I want to get these moments on paper for when they grow up. I love looking back at my four year olds books already, and I am way behind on them now, and just beginning my two year olds books.
Ok, enough sad drama! I don’t know if I will be back… that is entirely possible. But for now both my Inspiration Lane and my Scrappity-Doo-Dah shop will be closing up in a few days.
So you have a few days left to cash in on my store closing sale. I am having a really cool BUILD YOUR OWN BAG sale at both stores. Here are the options! You have until Monday to snag what you want: CU, PU, templates, whatever!
(see below for a COUPON on the BYOBs)
Also if you only want to grab one or two products, everything in my store is $2.00 except my BUILD YOUR OWN BAGS, of course. Anyone who purchases the BYOB, I have been tossing in an ‘extra’ special product for everyone as a thank you!
*excludes some collabs
I want to take a minute now to thank everyone for making this experience so wonderful. I really met so many kind-hearted, sincere people since I began this journey two years ago (OMG, I can’t believe it’s been that long). I wouldn’t have lasted this long if it it weren’t for you guys!
I hope you’ll take advantage of my sales, and I will be seeing you guys around the scrap land :) If my screen name isn’t Steel City Scraps, it’s rachnmaddie and feel free to add me to YAHOO IM under that name as well! I might send you guys out some freebies now and again here or in my newsletter, just as a creative outlet!
((hugs 2 u))
COUPON TO BE USED WITH THE BUILD YOUR OWN BAGS ONLY. Good for either Inspiration Lane or Scrappity-Doo-Dah!

It’s been awhile since I have posted, and I apologize for that. I have been on a small hiatus for the holidays. It was WONDERFUL, I have still been designing, of course, but I have also been spending some great times with my family. My daughters pre-school was off, so we did some great crafts and played new games! She goes back tomorrow, and I am a little sad about it. She only goes three half days, but the fact that it is January 2010 means that in only nine short months my little girl will be starting Kindergarten…. WHAA!!! I am already tearing up over it. I printed the pre-registration form the other day, and sobbed like a child. I do not know how I am going to be able to walk her to the bus stop, put her on the bus and let her go…… but I am going to have to do it. WHAAA!!!!
So what do I have for you today…well, I have a thank you coupon for those who want to shop ! It can be found in the perfect spot! It is DigiScrapSave! I one stop for the most sought after digi-coupons!
Click the image to visit! Of course, I have a coupon inside
Then once you grab that coupon, let me show you the SWEET stuff I have in my shops. I have two adorable brand new kits in both shops. The first one is A -RAWR-ABLE! ((falling on the ground laughing))
Called: Don’t Feed The Dinosaurs!
The next one I have is called Loving Moments and it is just a delicate sweet compilation of soft colors!
Comfy Jammies is a mini kit from me, that won’t be in my shop until February. For January, you can snag it along with a bunch of other great products in the Scrappity-Doo-Dah Grab Bag!
Here are some layouts from my incredibly talented creative team !!!
Lastly, I have a new template pack in the shop at Scrappity-Doo-Dah, Project365 templates: Set One. They are created for those who are participating in Project 365. If you don’t know what Project 365 is, you are supposed to take a picture a day in 2010. Some scrappers will then scrap a page using 7 photos (so, one page per week). I created some templates that have seven photo spots for this very purpose. You can check them out in my SDD shop here. If you are interested in these, you can use this coupon code to get $1.00 off ! CODE: P365buck EXP: 1-30-10
That’s it for new products for now ;) But I have a few things up my sleeves that are in the works, so stay posted for more new and excited stuffs!
If you are looking for some great challenges, I am running one at each store. Over at Inspiration Lane, I have the FONTASTIC Fun challenge! You can get there by clicking on the font I selected this month (below). It is called Patient Paige. I really love that font, and even better… it’s free! Then over at Scrappity Doo Dah, I am hosting the Template Sensations challenge. That is where I provide a cool template and you create a fantabulous layout with it ! You can find the template at SDD by clicking the preview below! You post at each location to gain points, and eventually the points turn into free products for you!!
I want to thank you all so much for your continued support of this crazy passion/creative expression that I do. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it ! You guys have been so supportive over the last year with the moves and everything that has come with that. I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you so much! Your support means the world to me, and I am so grateful.
I wish you all a Happy, healthy and prosperous 2010 to you all !
((hugs to u))
