Closing Sale!

I've had to make the very difficult decision to leave Get Digi With It. I'm really sad, because Maria has been great to work for, and she gave me a chance into the design world. But I find myself overwhelmed with work, and not able to give GDWI my all. For that reason, I'm going to stop selling here near the end of July. In the meantime, I'm going to be putting my kits on sale and then withdrawing them permanently from circulation... a little bit at a time!

Here's what's on sale for this week--and then they're gone:











Thanks for looking!!

New In The Shop: A Bunch of Stuff

It's Thursday! Or Friday! Depends which side of the globe you're on... So:

Dollar Deal @ GDWI: Ocean Fun!



This pretty little mini-kit gives you

-5 luscious papers
-1 quickpage
-1 frame
-3 buttons/flair
-1 seashell mask

And at Pixel Canvas, I have Fabricated, a little element pack with some textured, "fabric" flowers which took me forever and an age to make, as pretty much each PETAL on each flower has been extracted, covered with fabric, and individually shadowed (though you can put your own shadow on the flowers, too):



And I have a new tutorial, A Quick (sorta) Introduction to Masks -- it covers primarily quick masks, their relationship to channel masks, and a way to use quick masks to make an extraction:



And while I'm at it, a couple of layouts today, finally:



Everything @ Pixel Canvas. Background color made with a mask by Vinnie Pearce (Distressed Photo Masks - Set 03), using a paper from Cheeky Monkey Creative's What Lives Within kit. Everything else from that kit also.

And another one, Nature:



Everything by ViVa Artistry @ Pixel Canvas, from their Herbarium kit. Font is Handscript Upright.

Journaling reads: "I’m not sure I’ll ever understand myself, but whatever I can’t understand seems to disappear in Nature’s majesty."

Tomorrow... dentist. *sigh* BUT: Allen finished his first year of school today, YAY! And he zipped through Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 1/2 of 2nd grade. We *both* need a break!

New In The Shop: Unforgotten (Pixel Canvas)

Up a bit early this week:



Kit Includes:

- 10 textured arty papers
- 2 large masks (preview shows them much smaller)
- 2 frames, one in copper verdigris, another made of stitching holes with a few straggly stitches
- 3 different metal tags
- 2 ribbon elements: one bow (with and without shadow), and one ribbon & bow full page border
- 3 separate floral elements, one of which also comes as a brush
- 2 pieces of word art, one decorated with a spray of forget-me-nots
- a quill and ink pot sticker
- a broom, one decorated with ribbon and ivy, the other plain
- a heart locket with a little gem
- a painted owl

And some layouts:

My "Hidden Beauties":



Fonts: Bickham Script Pro and Goudy Old Style. Journaling reads: "We usually see this pond from the perspective of the inset photo, but this day we
explored on the path from the house to the beach, and suddenly found a blue stillness graced by a young family of mallard ducks."

By Timounette, "So Quiet":



Photo mask by Vinnie Pearce, Border by Timounette

By Kim, "First Dog":



And a beautiful tribute to her parents, by Tracy Little (5angels), "Never Forgotten":



And finally, another one of mine, a bit more personal and intense, "Never, Ever Forget {That I Love You}:



Some back story: Allen has never slept well, and to this day he still sleeps in our bed or else his nightmares would awake him enough so that he would stay awake all night (trust me on this). And if he takes a nap, he wakes up feeling some combination of mad/sad--he still is incapable of verbalizing what goes on for him. Anyway, a couple of days ago he fell asleep in the living room after a really long bike ride with his dad, and when we went to carry him into bed, he woke up... and we ended up with a 2-hour screaming fit on our hands. *sigh* Being the parent of a super-bright child is not often easy. Anyway, the next day it was as if it never had happened--for him.

Credits: Everything from my Unforgotten kit (Pixel Canvas), except for the feather which is from the EcoFabulous Collab kit. Fonts: Butterbrotpapier, Telegraphem, and Harting.

Thanks for looking!! New kit coming out tomorrow/Friday at Get Digi With It, too... *pant, pant*

Speed Scrap!

Tomorrow night--as always--is the speed scrap at Get Digi With It. It's tons of fun! It starts at 10PM EST/7PM PST, and usually runs about an hour (but you have 2+ to finish if you need it). I give an instruction every 10 minutes (7 in all), and you post what you've done to the gallery, and link it to the thread! Here's a tiny hint of what you'll get as a FREEBIE participation prize:



Don't forget to register on the forum a little ahead of time so you can participate, if you're not registered yet!

New In The Shop: Pause-Café (@ Get Digi With It)

You don't have to scrap coffee, of course. This is a great kit for older boys and men, too--deep, rich colors and not too much frou-frou. And it's only $1.00 through Friday! Kit contains:

-10 patterned and textured papers
-3 frames (one is without the words)
-3 ribbons
-1 coffee bean and wire flower
-1 coffee flower group, as well as a coffee pea group (and a single bean too)

-3 coffee cups/tags/frames

And, I have a layout to share that I made with Vinnie's wonderful Walkthrough Tutorial on Page Overlays:

Reflection



Built using Vinnie Pearce's Walkthrough 01 .pdf file. Lots of layers in the background, but present are papers from the EcoFabulous Collab Kit (in particular by Cheeky Monkey Creative and Heather T.), and my Always Time and Brief Elegance kits. Also used Vinnie's gorgeous Artistic Page Masks Set 01. Lower word art is by ViVa Artistry Reflections Kit @ Pixel Canvas), top one is simply the You Are Loved font. Feather mine from EcoFabulous, rose by CMC (Lovely kit), and diamond heart from Brief Elegance.

March Contest @ GDWI: I Spy With My GDW-Eye

I know, I know, bad pun... but fun! (And I totally had fun drawing the logo, too)



Here's the scoop:

Every Wednesday (US Pacific time) I'll post a set of clues to something on the GDWI site. It could be in the gallery, or the forum, or the shop--and it will be about something that's happened within the last 7 days from that Wednesday.

The prize? The first person to PM me (has to be PM, don't give the answer away in the thread!) gets 3 digibits, the 2nd, 2 digibits, and the 3rd, 1 digibit. If nobody has found the item by Thursday, I'll give a second set of clues, but the digibit count decreases by 1. If possible, I'll try to include the GDW-EYE logo at top on the page somehow. At the end of March, I'll give away some shop freebies, too, to the three highest digibit earners! (When you’ve accumulated 50 DigiBits, you will receive a $5.00 Gift Certificate to the Get Digi With It store!)


So, get your brain motors rolling and come play with us.... Click here to read the first clue!!
