New Release: A Pox Upon You

Last month, my poor daughter had chicken pox. We live in a country that doesn't yet vaccinate against it, so I knew it was coming. When I heard there was a bit of an epidemic in our town, I knew it was only a matter of time. 17 children from her class got them at the same time! She got them quite severely, and she was pretty miserable. Her little body is still covered in polka dots weeks later!

And, as always, I found inspiration in my child! I present my new release, A Pox Upon You:

As I was working on this kit, I kept thinking of various medical/health related things I wanted to make that didn't quite fit with the chicken pox theme. So I started making them and tucking them away. Coming soon, I'll be releasing a coordinating mini kit or two, maybe some more papers and some word art. This will be my first collection, and I am calling the collection Time To Get Ill. *chuckle* Anyone else get that?

Although A Pox Upon You is focused on chicken pox, there is plenty in the kit that could be used for any sort of "get well soon" layout. Its really a versatile kit! Here is a page I made with it:

A Pox Upon You is on sale through March 20th for only $2!!!

Be sure to check out the rest of my store as well - I have a 17% off sale for St. Patricks Day:

As always, I would love to see anything you guys may create with the kit!

Designer Darling Freebies Links!

Hi! I apologize, but I am not going to manage the play along for Round 5 of Designer Darling. I just cannot seem to stay healthy for five minutes....

BUT, I wanted to share the links to everything I did in the contest, in case you had trouble registering at STS and were unable to download them. These are LIMITED TIME freebies, as I loved everything I did so much that I plan to clean it all up and expand it and pop it into my store at some point. Speaking of my store, did I mention I am Designer of the Month and have a 33% off sale during March to celebrate my daughter's third birthday?

Designer Darling: Round 3

Our challenge this week was to make our own designer resources via extraction. This is MY week. I am confident in my extractions - its the very first thing I learned to do in Photoshop! But as I learned, there is more to extractions than, well, extracting. My big challenge this week was getting good quality photographs. But after a lot of fussing, I finally managed.

I chose to do a themed collection, and my theme stems from my young daughter who is sick WAY more often than she should be! Our house is awash in medical supplies, so I ran with that. I'm calling this CU-friendly collection of designer resources "A Case of the Sniffles." I'd love to see what you do with it!

The links to download this collection are located in THIS THREAD. Please keep an eye up for the voting thread, which will be up in the next couple of days, and place a vote for me! I really want to see how far I can go with this competition before my wild ride ends!
