How cute is this??

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


So, I think this set of wrappers is SO CUTE! Which is a horrible thing to say since I designed it myself, right?? I've been holding on to these baby animals forever trying to think of how to use them and all the sudden, there they were, looking super cute with this background! I'm super pleased with how it turned out and hope that all the members will like it too!! :D

I know it looks a little less that perfectly cute in the preview, that's because when you resize down something as much as you have to do to make a preview, it ends up losing data! Keep in mind those babies are shown at like 10 percent or so, plus, this way, no one can steal the design off the preview!Oh, yeah, it could happen!

And, I guess I couldn't get enough of Dinosaurs, because I joined DianaB from Creative Juices to make this super awesome Dinosaur Collab Kit for Scrappers & Wrappers!!

Even more behind than usual, Sheesh...

I can't even believe how late I am at posting this month... It's literally been since the first of this month that I came and told you what was going on... How could this be?? I can't hardly believe it!!

First off, for Mother's Day, my husband let me get a new domain and some super great photo posting software so I could start a new site called The Wrapper Gallery!!
You can see it here:


Also, the whole month of May has gone by, so I'm just going to show you all the design club sets at once!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I guess that's it for now!! I'm gonna do a better job of keeping this baby updated!! I mean it!! :D

Oops! I almost forgot, I also made this set:

Holy Moly, Am I behind or what?

Clearly my blog has been not incredibly high on my priority list these last couple weeks, hun??

Lots of stuff has been going on, that must be why... SO, with no ados at all, Here's my set from last week,

Alisan's last set was Spring Flowers:

Rock On Baby!!

Here's my set for this week:
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

You'll be shocked to know that I am actually up to date with the display packs for this month and last month, it's like a miracle!!

Also, I am working hard on getting all the sets in the shop to have display packs, so that should be really awesome!! The new format in the zen cart is that you can choose to add your displays by the set, so when you buy a set, you can add the displays for just about $1 more... If it is a double or combo set, it is a little more, because making displays is a lot of work, but this way, you are saved all the trouble of doing it yourself, woohoo!! :D

Also, a little personal note, today is the 3rd anniversary of my mother's passing, Here's a scrapbook page I made to remember her with:

April's First Set!

Here's Alisan's super cute set for this first week in April!!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Also, I donated this 5 set pack of wrappers to the Remembering Jen Website!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
You can get these 5 sets of wrappers and ALL the other stuff everyone else has donated in return for your donation to the family of Jenn, a moderator from the Wrapcandy Forum who passed away from Cancer. As a forum, we wanted to find a way to help, so we pooled our talents and created a bunch of things so that the proceeds can be donated to her family in this time of loss!! The website is Here! Remember, any donation gets you all the items listed on the site!!

Thats all for today folks!! :D

Simple Butterflies!

Well, I am a tiny bit late but I figure better late than never, right?? Not only that but better three sets than one!! :D Here's my set for the AliSarah Design Club this week!!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I love the simplicity of it, and its grace. I think it is perfect for any holiday but especially Mother's Day or a lovely birthday present as well!! :D

I know I haven't been blogging much. I've been under the weather actually, I'm not sure why, but I'm just a tiny bit miserable, not flat out SICK, just a little sluggish and slow... :( Hopefully it will pass soon!

Oh! My aching head!

I have a horrible headache, I don't know why except to say that it has to do with my sinuses for sure, but it is so upsetting to have so much pain coming from your forehead... :(

But, on a happy note, I finished my club set!!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Last week, Alisan totally outdid herself, creating Christening Girl & Christening Boy! These are so cute!! :D

OMGoodness!!

What a couple of days, What a couple of days!!

All day yesterday, I couldn't decide what to make for my design club set. I held a contest for the Club Members and Melinda won the contest, inspiring me to make this set:

It's like a boyfriend for my Girly Skulls set, lol...

I stayed up even later last night to make some Valentines for my daughter's school, they turned out super cool!! :D

I adore how they look!! Graphics by Gina Jane at DaisieCo.

Then, I got up early and made a Gallon Sized Gift Set for a customer who is coming to pick it up later today! What a sweet guy to buy all this for his lady love!!


I am also posting some freebies here for you:
This is a Valentine mini-set for Boys and tomboys! It is just a few pieces, SOE, minis, and toppers. But, you can make a pretty nice last minute Valentine with just those pieces!! :D


But, if you are just in love with the paper, I figure you can have that too!!


Yep, I think that is about it!! Whew!! I am so productive!!

I am going to Utah until the 19th, so there won't be any posts till I get back probably!! Have a great 5 days!! :D

Huggles!!

Dang, I'm not keeping up, am I?

Hey!!

I feel like a blog neglector, but I don't want to be... I want to be that girl who is blogging all the time, lol...

Ok... SO, there's been some stuff added to AliSarah!! Especially, since I last wrote, 2 new sets in the AliSarah Design Club, 2 Hearts, and Dog Days:


And, I have added some stuff to the store:


In freebie land, I have added this to the store:

And, in case anyone is reading this... Here's an exclusive share... An SOE from the Pretty SOE pack that didn't make it in, it was the original color of this wrapper before I started recoloring it like mad!! :D
You can get it here!!

Yeah, I guess that's it... It's my week for the design club and on Thursday, I am heading to Utah to spend some quality time with my in-laws and all the related family members!! We are really looking forward to the trip!! :D

Huggles all!!
~Sarah~

p.s. AND, my business cards came, YAY!! :D

Friday, January 25, 2008

Woohoo!

I ordered Business Cards, YAY!!

I know it seems like a silly thing to be so excited about but I have been trying to design them and get a look that I liked for about 2 months now. SO, today, I just kind of went for it... I think they turned out pretty cute! I am leaning toward more beautiful things and less cute things these days, so I think they are lovely, lol...

My design club set this week is Bee Mine!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I also added a really kewl tutorial up at Wrappers Corner to do this:
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Or even this:
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

If you do the tutorial, you should post your results for us to see, they are super awesome!! :D

The Valentine's Contest at Wrappers Corner is Voting! After that, I will release that new Freebie, which is my set for the contest!

I am going to update AliSarah today! I am adding 5 more Alphabets for your designing pleasure!

I also bought a new .com for my Scrapbooking for Hire Stuff, so I am going to design a template for that today too!!

Until then, I'll be heading out to go have lunch with Rachel for Operation Observation... which basically means parents bring take out food and eat it on sticky benches and tables while our kids try to pretend not to know us while still eating and sharing the food we brought... And then I have to go to the DMV and get my registration for my car!

Thanks for stopping in!

Huggles all!!
