The last two months have just been crazier than normal for me, not sure what normal is though! To catch you up on what had happened, my laptop died, that meant make shifting with a borrowed computer. I finally got my computer back after having it in the shop for the last 3 weeks to be dignoised. It turns out it wasn’t as bad as we had thought at first, turns out to be just a bad stick of memory. So after getting that replaced I now have my own computer back. Then that involves getting all the software on I use, finding all my favorite links again and setting up everything the way I want it. I am getting there but it has taken time which is valuable around our house, your too I imagine.
In the midst of all of this I have had deadlines for getting collab work done for two stores, and trying to get new releases out, teach my friend digital scrapbooking, leading music at Joy Club every week, and planning a ladies retreat for the fall. Whew makes me tired just thinking about it sometimes, lol.
I did manage to get out a new kit at Faith Sisters, I had some help naming this kit by having a give away at DST to the person who came up with the name I picked. Sometimes names for my kits come to me before I even start or after getting into it but not this time. Anyway the name is, “Exquiste Notion”
Well I am tired so it is off to bed so I can start the madness all over again tomorrow.
I have been working on a new kit and finally finished it over the weekend. My Grandson is crazy about hot wheel cars so that inspired this kit, “Critters’N Wheels”. I love the bright colors and I worked really hard on designing the cars and critters. Right now it is only in the store at “Faith Sisters” and until the end of the week you can get it for half off! Faith Sisters has an awesome Patriotic Collab kit that you can get for free when you spend $10.00.

Being a digital designer I am always on the lookout for software that will help me be a better one. I have been trying to find a vector program without the price tag of illustrator. I have limited funds which I’m sure that others do too. I have tried some free programs but I wasn’t all that impressed with them. Some are hard to learn with very little information to help you. I am pretty quick on learning new programs so I am not without some computer skills. Recently though a friend directed me to this awesome program “Xara Xtreme”. It is billed as the fastest graphics program out there with a modest price tag of $89.
Best of all you can download a trial version that enables you to try the program for 30 days and then make a decision if you want to buy it. I have downloaded the trial and I’m having fun trying it out. There are tons of video tutorials to show you how the programs works. So far it fullfills all that is promised in the video so I’m saving up my money to buy this program.
I will show you a few stickers that I created for my newest kit that will be coming out soon.
This car sticker was done in PSE3 involving many steps and this blue car was done in Xara .
I like them both but was much happy with the results with the one done in Xara. Here is another example with this spider I drew. The first spider I created in PSE3 and the second one in Xara with fewer steps, and I was pleased with the ending results on the last spider.
You can check out Xara Xtreme for yourself.
I hope you have enjoyed this little tid bit, even if you aren’t a designer. Have an awesome Day!! Emma (aka: Eyelet’s Scraps Designs)

I have a house guest in my hanging basket!! I discovered this little intruder when I went to water it the other day. I noticed every time I went to give the plant water this little bird would fly out. So today I took down the basket to see if I was right and this is what I found.
Yep you guessed it she had built her nest in the top of my hanging basket! I can’t wait to get pictures of the babies when the hatch.
It always amazes me how well God equiped our winged friends with the knowledge of how to make a nest. If I took a bunch of sticks and tried there is no way it would ever look like this. Just right to house the new life. JUST AWESOME IS ALL I CAN SAY!!!
