This week I made a mini kit called Little Sweetie for the Teacher’s Pet Challenge over at Funky Playground Designs. Enjoy! (Be sure to leave a little love if you download it. Thanks!)

Backyard Explorers freebie

Well, I didn't make "the cut" from more than 100 participants down to 50 after week 1 of the Teacher's Pet challenge over at Funky Playground Designs, but everyone that's participating gets to keep playing along as long as we keep up with the weekly assignments. How cool is that? So as they narrow down the field in search of a designer or designers to join their FPD team, the rest of us get to keep learning (and posting our freebies)!

For week 2 we had to hone our extraction skills and submit a realistic element pack made using items we had extracted from scans and/or photographs. So if you click on the link below, it will take you to the page where you can download my element pack "Backyard Explorers." It will be available to download until 9 a.m. EST Monday, August 11, 2008.

Relaunching My Blog ;)

Well, it’s time to re-launch my blog! Between life and a hard drive crash a couple months ago, my blog kept ending up on the bottom of the to-do list. I’ll try to do better. Promise. But that’s why you’ve subscribed to my blog, right? So you will get an email any time I finally have a new post. :) And consider this your reminder to go back up everything ASAP. Please. Back up!

My latest challenge has been designing a mini kit for the Funky Playground Designs Teachers Pet design contest. Who'd have thought a year ago when I started digi scrapping that I'd ever do something like this? Not me.

My kit is called “Memories”. The link will take you directly to the page over at FPD where you will find the info about downloading my kit. (You do have to sign up for the FPD newsletter to get the password for the zipped file though.)

And you can see all of the free mini kits here. Just scroll down and click on the Teacher's Pets category. There's also a gallery where people can post layouts made with the Teachers Pet kits. If you make a layout with my kit, please link me up! I’d love to see it!
