Since the infamous “Hack of 2009″, Michelle has been very busy getting going again, plus opening a store at the DigiChick and creating new kits.  (I personally don’t know she does it!)

Anyway…I want to make sure you are aware of a couple of freebies on her blog.  If not, you need to get over there!

First, she has a great desktop for you.  It’s made with her September Days kit, but is so pretty, that it could easily be used all season long.  She has it in two sizes, even though I have onlyl highlighted one size here.  (All images are linked to their respective blog post…you need to go to her blog to download the files.)

In case you want something a little more festive for October, she’s got you covered there too…

This desktop is mad with her new collaboration with 4-Shades of Blue Designs, called “This is Halloween”.  And if you didn’t notice, she also has her glitters up on her blog…

Finally, if you love glitter (and who doesn’t???)….she also has her glitters that match “Every Life Has a Story” Mega from Digi Chick.  It is such a fabulous set of kits…you simply must check it out!!

Here are the freebie glitters…

…and here is the kit preview…

Enjoy!!

It’s been three months since my last post.  Three months!!!  And I’m sad to say, I’ve been pretty inactive here and elsewhere with next-to-no scrapping done.  So much has happened in those months that I almost don’t know where to start!!

I’ve been in a real scrapping funk…bad.  No desire whatsoever to even turn on the computer, much less load PSE and get working.  It’s been all I can do to keep up with the Mod duties over as SO (and I’m still not caught up at DSA!).  OY!!

So, what all has been happening?  Well, I’m sad to say I am down to only one CT now.  Shauna stopped designing a while back, and I can’t help but think that was what started my funk.  I miss her and still hope she will be back.  Monica stopped in February or March, but I’m not sure why.  So, now it’s just me and my buddy Michelle, which may be good for her since my only scrapping responsibility lies with her now.  I am trying out in the Sunshine Sweetie contest over at Sunshine Studios, though.  That should be fun.

To add to my funk, and her frustrations, Michelle’s site got hacked and a lot of my layouts that were linked here are lost.  Well, not lost, but no longer linked.  I still have them elsewhere, thank goodness, but I have to re-link up.  Won’t that be fun?!?  She’s up and running again, so you’ll be seeing more stuff soon.

Now, for the cool and exciting news…

Michelle is now exclusively at DigiChick, which is exciting for me because I had never been to that forum before.  The girls there are super sweet and I’m enjoying myself.  They are super on the gallery love, too… makes me feel so good!!!  I’ve been working on the October challenges over there and at SO, pumping out EIGHT layouts yesterday!! (I was stuck at home with a respiratory bug.)  I’m sure Michelle is about to flip out considering I think I did two layouts from July to September… total! 

We also have a new system for Make it Snappy speed scraps, and they are going to be so fun.  The changes have really breathed new life into the scraps and I’m hoping attendance will zoom up again.  I’ll give more details on that in a different post.

So for now, I’m off to re-link my old layouts and link-up my new ones.  I even did one with one of Shauna’s old kits yesterday.  Goodness knows I have a whole folder full of them!!  Her stuff just rocks!

My friend and fellow CT member, Hanizah, has a great freebie on her blog! It’s her first ever template, and it is wonderful!

Here’s a peek at it:

And here is a LO I made with it, using Michelle’s “Freedom” mini kit:

You can get the freebie by visiting Hanizah’s blog… HERE.  Enjoy!!

If you haven’t been over to Sunshine Studios lately, you may not know this… Michelle Batton is closing her store there.  This means great deals for you!!

Now that she has a newborn, she is focusing more on her family.  Her store closes there on July 15th, so hurry in!!

it’s been a while since these have been released, but it just dawned on me that I never posted about them….LOL!!  Remember when I tried out for the quick page team for Michelle Batton?  Well…I made the team, and have since made two sets of quick pages to sell.  I just finished the second set, so it isn’t ready yet, but the first has been out for a bit.  Have you seen them?  They are with Michelle’s “Blue Violet” kit….such a great kit!!
