Celebrate NDSD 60% off store plus free Kit

I am celebrating NDSD!! I have everything in the store marked down 60% for you plus you can grab, “Mia Casa” free right now at Faith Sisters .

Just thinking and freebie

Whew, this summer is flying by I can’t believe that we will soon be in August. I am busy planning a Ladies retreat called, “Heart Spa” for September and when I started way back in January it seemed like it was so far away but now it is only a matter of 8 weeks away. So now I’m begining to feel in the panic mode, I have to tell myself it will all come together as I have a great leadership team helping me. I am excited about “Heart Spa” because it is so different from regular retreats. There will be different times when we will have spa times which will include, facials, massage of the hands, and pedicures.

Well I have a little sample of my newest kit, “Exquisite Notion” in a quick page for you. You can pick it up at Faith Sisters.

Don’t forget right now to celebrate my 35th Wedding anniversary everything in the store is 35% off and grab this bonus coupon for another $3.50 off when you have an order of at least $10.00, the code is 35Wedding

Weathering the Years Together

How did the years go by so fast? It just seems like yesterday we were standing together and exchanging our vows to love each other forever. We have been through so much together in these 35 years which has drawn us closer together. Early in our marriage we went through the experience of losing a child. Often times a relationship doesn’t stand through difficult times like these but is torn apart. There have been many ruff times but we weathered through them making our relationship stronger. I have learned through these years that marriage is not a 50/50 partnership but 100% to zero. If you give 100% to the relationship then you will get back more than you ever expected.

I’m celebrating 35 years of marriage July 27th, so you get to celebrate too! I have dropped everything in my store 35% plus I’ve given you a coupon for another $3.50 off an order of $10.00, just use the coupon code 35Wedding. It is good through July 29th so don’t miss out on this special time.  So just go to Eyelet’s Scraps Designs at Faith Sisters to take advantage of me.

Life’s Crazy Days!

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.

Free textures & Critters’N Wheels

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.

Xara Xtreme Graphics Program

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)
