Duck...Duck...Bath Add On

At long last I have packaged up the Duck... Duck... Bath Add On for you! This kit was originally inspired by my extensive collection of crazy duckies, so I made some recolors that are reminiscent of some of the ducks in my collection! I also recolored the towel paper and made a few new patterns during the process. Enjoy!

You can download it HERE, and the original kit (pictured below) can be found HERE.

Do you like the add on? Are you grateful? Great! Then could you go and vote for me in the current round of Designer Darling? The voting thread is HERE and this is my submission, Derby Girl Wannabe:

Love Bites: An Anti-Valentine's Day Kit!

Are you looking at all the happy cheerful couples today and rolling your eyes? Heart broken? Scraptherapy to the rescue!!!

Valentine's Day is all well in good... if you're happily in love! But love isn't all chocolate and roses. Sometimes its a pile of soggy tissues and holding a photo over the candle flame! STOP: Don't burn that photo! Scrap it instead! This is the first in a planned series of kits I am calling Scraptherapy. Why not use scrapping as a way to work through those difficult emotions? Love Bites will help you do that!

Love Bites includes 20 papers, 6 layer styles, 2 alphas, and 52 elements!

BONUS: Since it was requested, I am including the torn photo template shown in the preview as a free gift!! Please note, it is a .psd file that was created in Photoshop CS6 and I am not sure it will work with older versions.

And guess what else?? My entire store is 50% off during the month of February! Head on over to my store to grab it!

Here are some layouts made with Love Bites: These first two I made myself:

And these adorable layouts were made by my new CT member, Lórien! Aren't they fun?? Welcome Lórien, I am excited to have you aboard! I am still seeking creative team members if anyone is interested in getting my kits for free! Email me at callalunacreations@mail.com for more info!

Designer Darling Round 2

I am astonished I was even able to finish my kit this round, as my daughter got REALLY sick the day this round started, and has gotten sicker each day. I designed most of this with her laying asleep on my lap! I don't think this is nearly as good as it could have been, but I am happy to have finished at all.

For this round, we were given two photographs and a little story to provide inspiration, and we had to choose our own theme and color palette. One of the photos was of a roller derby match! I realize roller derby was an obvious choice, which is kind of funny, because I feel like my greatest strength in designing is creativity. But I idolize derby girls, and a derby kit has been on my "to do" list for ages! I simply couldn't pass up the chance. Its also got a brighter color palette than most people like, but I was inspired by the derby matches I have seen and the crazy colors I saw there!

You can find the links to download Derby Girl Wannabe in this forum thread. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to go and vote for me while you are there! Enjoy!

Open For Business!!!

My store at Southern Comfort Scraps is officially OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!! January was a rough month around here, so it took longer than I'd planned. But its up and running now! I've added two products so far:

Belgian Countryside is a set of eight CU friendly overlays created with original photographs I took in the fields and paths around my house here in Belgium. They create beautiful papers! My favorite is Storm Clouds. I captured the most interesting little swirls in the clouds that day, I'd never seen anything quite like it... The weather here in Belgium is frequently insane!

Next up is Urban Decay, a set of 5 CU friendly overlays. I am fascinated by the textures I find in my everyday surroundings. The ugliest things can be beautiful when you photograph them close up and look at the details. Peeling paint is fascinating. Every sidewalk crack is unique. And there are so many old bricks here that just scream with history. I hope you all will find these photos as intriguing as I did and use them to create your own works of art!

As part of my Grand Opening celebration, everything in my store is 50% off during the month of February! Head over to take advantage of this amazing deal!

I will be adding my kits Winter Wonders and Love Bites to the store in the next few days:

I am currently seeking CT members! If you would like to get my kits for free, please email me at callalunacreations@mail.com, or message me via the Callaluna Creations Facebook page.

Vote for ME!!! ;)

Asking you to vote for me to be Designer Darling makes me giggle... I am imagining myself being offered a crown and a sash, my mascara (which I don't even wear...) smearing as I cry tears of joy. "Designer Darling" REALLY sounds like a beauty pageant. And I guess it kind of is, in a way, but its the beauty of the designs that is being eyeballed instead of my... well, you get what I am saying! :P

Anyway, VOTE FOR ME!!! You have to register for the forum, but its relatively painless, and besides, its a great community! My submission is called "Callaluna Creations/ Duck... Duck... Bath!" It looks like this:

Thank you, and again, I appreciate the support!

Designer Darling Competition FREEBIES!!!!

You know how when you have people who really believe in you, you can sometimes get swept up in their enthusiasm and push yourself farther than you ever have before? That happened to me this week. I have two wonderful cheerleaders, my best friend Sarah (of Sairi Designs) and my friend Raquel (of Build a Memory), who believe in me and encouraged me to enter the Designer Darling Competition at Stuff to Scrap. I am terrified, because I feel like I am way out of my league (there are people in this contest I have BOUGHT things from before!!!). Furthermore, I am SLOW. I get a little better at designing every day, but I don't get much faster. I am slow and deliberate and NOT in the tortoise-winning-the-race sort of way!

But I've survived Round 1. No need to applaud, I haven't even heard from the judges yet. But there are no cuts in Round 1, so the fact that I managed to finish my kit means I get to advance. Woot! This is my submission. I call it Duck... Duck... BATH! It was inspired by my vast collection of rubber duckies.

You can find the links to download my mini and all of the other fantastic submissions HERE. Please PLEASE go and download it, and encourage your friends to do the same? I need all the cheerleaders I can get to carry me though this competition!

Here is a layout I made with it:

Furthermore, my lucky little readers... I have an add-on in the works! Keep an eye out here, I will post it in the next day or two!

Also, please head over to Sarah's blog to get a peek at her submission, as well!

Thank you to all of you for the support! Your comments and emails and messages have kept me motivated these past few months, and all of my improvements are thanks to you guys!!
