WOOHOO! GREAT NEWS!!!

Hello everyone!

I know, I know...I've been a terrible blogger! Almost a month without showing my face around! It's just that I've been really busy with some stuff... Wanna know what? Huh? Huh?

Ok, ok... I'll tell you...

I MADE IT TO THE DESIGNER TEAM AT DSO!!!

Ooooo... I'm so happy! This is so overwhelming and exciting!!!!
But it's also a lot of work, and that's why it's taken me soooo long to come and post it here. I wanted to have something to show ya first! You know, to actually having stuff in the store and all that! LOL

Start off as a designer in such an AMAZING TEAM is simply... WOW!
And I'm not the only newbie... Check out the other 5 designers who joined the team with me:

Andrea (Andrea Dickinson)
Beth (Beth Long)
Boo (BooLand Designs)
Doodle (Trivette Designs)
Sherrie (RCMama)

Awesome, huh???

And don't worry, the freebies will still keep coming! ;) It's probably gonna get a little slower for a while, until I get everything settled, that's all!

And to make up for my so long absence, I have one for you TODAY!!! YAY!!!

But first I'd like to introduce you to my first kit as an official designer...


My Secret Garden

(images are clickable)



Soooooo... whadya think? Do you like it?
I'd love to hear your opinions!!!

The complete kit is in the DSO SHOP starting today and is on SALE for ONLY $ 3!!! Is that a BARGAIN or what??? But you must hurry, the sale will be on for only 1 week... ;)

And keep in mind that EVERY THURSDAY there are new releases at DSO so don't forget to check the amazing work of my colleagues!

Ok, so without any further ado, here's my little gift for you... An Add-on to My Secret Garden. These items are NOT included in the kit, so snag it even if you plan on purchasing the complete kit! ;)

2,000 Visits!!!

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
In 18 days of existence the blog has had over 2000 visits... I'm in awe!

When Hubby put the counter for me he asked:
- So, do you want to have commas separating the thousands?
I started laughing and said:
- I don't know... I'm not gonna need to worry about that anytime soon anyways!

Yesterday when I told him about the number of visits he said: - Told ya you'd need the commas!!! LOL

I just wanted to come here and THANK YOU for the visits and the love left here and at 4Shared! Know that it's very very very appreciated!

I really love all the messages! It just keeps me wanting to create more and more... so keep'em coming! LOL ;P

Hugs to all,
Livia.

YAY!!!

AWESOME NEWS!!!

Jen from Chaos Lounge asked me to stay as a permanent member of her CT! *doing a happy dance* I just love her work and feel very privileged to be a part of her team!

She has a new kit on the stores now... It's called Little Painted School House, it an awesome collab kit with Designs by Sassy. There are also QP's and Bragbook packs available. And check this out... 3 of the QP's were made by yours truly... yes, ME!!! How cool is that???

Freebie Time!

Hello y'all!

Oh, Boy...This designing thing is just as addictive as scrapping! And I mean, ADDICTIVE! I have a pile of laundry to be done to prove it...not to mention dishes...LOL I need more hours in the day!

But I gotta confess that when it comes to designing, not everything smells like roses to me... There's this one little thing called PREVIEWS that can drive me nuts!
I don't know why, but I find it so difficult to put it all together... I wonder if it's only me who has this 'problem'... At least this time I managed to make them NOT look like QP's... LOL

Sooooo... onto the freebie (told ya I'd have something soon ;D)!
I made this one for KimB's Color Challenge at DSO
I just loved the colors she chose... Aren't they lovely?



And here's what I came up with, hope you like it! ;)

Enjoy! ;)

Another Freebie

Helloooooo!

Oh, man... I'm soooo happy with this weather! Yesterday we took the kids to the park in front of the house. They had a BLAST!!! It was so great to see how they interect with the enviroment.

Samantha is already showing signs of being a total tomboy! She's such an explorer... wanted to touch everything and go everywhere! And quite independent too, just started walking but already refused holding hands! LOL
Lucas was also very cute but in the opposite way...he actually was trying to get up from the grass withoug touching it with his hands!!! He was also very interested in everything but was a bit more cautious than his little sister.

Today is bright and sunny as well, but since I'm alone I don't really dare to take them to the park by myself yet... With their tendency of going opposite directions I'd go crazy in 5 minutes! LOL

I have a gift for you today...well, actually, a friend of mine has the gift! She made 2 QP's using my mini kits. Look how cute they are:



So just click on the picture and go to her blog to snag them!

And if all goes well, I'll have another gift for you very soon! ;)

Hugs to all,
Livia.

WOW!

I just can't believe the number of downloads the mini-kits had... I can't tell you how HAPPY I am by that! Thanks for all the nice coments...it was very very encouraging, not to mention Thrilling! You guys really MADE MY DAY!!!

It was pointed out to me that my previews kinda looked like QP's and that could 'mislead' some people... I totally agree!!! So to make up for my mistake, I've made some QP's for those who were expecting to get that instead of the kits... ;)

Hope you enjoy it!

Hugs to all and thanks again,
Livia.
