Happy News and FREEBIES!

Alright everyone... first of all I guess I have an "announcement" to make - :)
A brand new site will be opening up in the near future (shooting for a May 1st debut) and I have accepted an offer to be one of their designers! Originally I had planned on just selling from my blog so (1) I wasn't under any "pressure" to produce X amount of product by a certain date and (2) so I could keep my prices low by not compensating for paying a store commision. Well, needless to say, I found an owner that addressed BOTH of these points! They encourage us to "design at our own pace" -- which is a concept that I LOVE!!! Designers are given a certain amount of shopping cart slots in their store and basically they are ours to do with what we want... to fill with kits, alphas, elements, templates - whatever! and obviously, if they are all filled, that's more beneficial to us... and number 2: There are no commission to pay. ever! Paypal will be the method of acceptable payments and only the coresponding paypal fee will be taken from the payment. I found the official call for this in the digishoptalk forums (which gives more info and the contact information) -- so check it out if you're interested!! I believe she is down to looking for only 4 more designers to climb on board! So don't delay if you're seriously interested! In talking with the owner, I am VERY impressed with her designer/owner co-op concept! I am so thrilled that this opportunity was extended to me and that it will fit into my life and let me keep my priority on my family and have fun with the whole designing journey :) - plus I'm relived that I have over 6 weeks to "build up" my inventory to have some awesome things ready for the big release day - LOL. Oh, and here in a few weeks it looks like I'm going to have to be putting out a call for my very own CT -- wow - that sounds sooooo official! a bit intimidating to me... but exciting at the same time!... so keep a watch out for that too (if you're interested :)

Alright... but in the meantime... I was going through my files and came upon this painted alphabet stencils (that I made to go with my August Sun kit -- found here on my blog) but somehow it didn't make it in - LOL... but then I started playing around in PSE and came up with some papers that coordinate with it as well!... feel free to pick these up if you can use them!
