Wow – we’ve been busy here! My poor little one managed to get a Diaper Rash turned Yeast Infection that would NOT go away! I think we’re on the home stretch now though (keeping fingers crossed).  Poor baby – it broke my heart every time I had to change her diaper! She goes back to the pediatrician for a check-up this Thursday and for a blood test to make sure she’s not anemic (I don’t think she is, but the doctor is insisting we check).  Since Thursday is Valentine’s Day, my dear husband suggested I pick-up a Papa Murphey’s bake at-home pizza…a true romantic! LOL!! Then on Friday Nadya and I are headed to Texas with my mom to visit my Grandparents.  We’ve planned 2 visits so far and both had to be canceled because someone was sick. Now, the weather is threatening to snow on us – Grrrrr!!!!

I have managed to scrap a few more pages in the brag book – I need to finish up by Thursday morning so I can pick up the prints after the pediatrician’s visit. I had a great time working with Julie’s LipGloss by Wenchd Grafix and Bunny Cate’s Brag Book Template set.  Julie’s LipGloss has great papers and elements to work with and Bunny’s templates made everything so easy…so, make sure you head to DSO to check out the template set and to the new Wenchd Grafix store for Julie’s LipGloss (which just happens to be on sale this week)! While we’re on the subject of sales, Bunny has released a new commercial use bundle – 5 new Commercial Use products for only $8 – but better hurry this price is only good through Saturday.

So, do you wanna see what I’ve been working on? Do ya???!!! Well, here are a couple of the Brag Book pages:

This one uses Wenchd Grafix Calypso and another of Bunny’s templates (included in the set). It’s the "first" in the series using the Calypso kit.

This one is one of my favorites! I used Wenchd Grafix Julie’s LipGloss and another of the templates in Bunny’s set. My baby loves the mouse I use with my laptop and will grab it every chance she gets (note it is NOT plugged in).

I also finished one of the challenges for this month at DSO. For the first time, I created a desktop background. I used Lynn’s Cranberry Crush and Bundled Stack sets and a frame from Kim Broedelet’s recently revealed grab bag.  Here’s what I came up with.

I guess that’s about all from me – check back tomorrow for some more excitement and news (ie there might be a goodie for you)…

Have a fabulous night!

Wow – it’s hard to believe another week-end is almost complete! We’re not big football fans here, so although today is Super Bowl Sunday, our routine hasn’t been impacted.

I’m working on a Brag Book of my baby for my husband as a Valentine’s gift. I’ve been using Bunny’s Brag Book template set to get my started. You can find it here. So far I’ve completed 3 pages:

I used Wenchd Grafix new Julie’s Lipgloss kit and a WordArt from Tina Chambers. This LO also worked as my submissions for DSO’s Element and Font Challenges.

For this page I "scraplifted" Nikki’s (ShadowAngel) So Kissable LO and modified it for a BB page.  I really like Kristine’s Julie’s Lipgloss Kit!

My last page thus far features Andrea Dickinson’s Hot Pink Valentine kit (available as a freebie on her blog). I used Atomic Cupcake’s Small Silver action and Cheryl Barber’s Glitter Metals style.

Now that I’m done showing off, I have news!  Remember I mentioned that Lynn had a surprise coming…well now I can tell you what it is! She’ released 4 NEW COMMERCIAL use products! You can purchase all 4 for the special bundle price of $6.99! How awesome is that?!?! If you don’t need all 4 products, then you can also get the items individually for 20% this week. Here’s a preview of these AWESOME goodies (I must say the Curled Texture Templates and Frame Me Brushes are my favorites!).

Kristine, aka Wenchd Grafix, still has her new store on-sale – I believe it’s 30% off until Friday. You don’t want to miss her Grand Opening Sale!!!!

Heather also has her Designer’s Delight 6 Commercial Use Grab Bag on sale.  $8 for 5 brand new Commercial Use items.  I have it on very good authority that this is her best bag yet – and her other’s were amazing! 

I guess that’s all from me! I want to get a few more pages in my Brag Book completed.

My sweet baby girl woke-up at 5:30 this morning and REFUSED to go back to sleep. She’s finally snoozing 1.5 hours later, but I am now pretty much awake! Maybe I’ll take a nap with her later today. LOL

Since I was awake, I thought I’d finish the Challenge Checklist for the February DSO challenges that I promised you guys yesterday. It’s nothing fancy, but it might help you keep track of all those challenges – ’cause you don’t want to miss this month’s kit – it’s just awesome. I did get to use the font Darlene selected for the Font Challenge and a goodie that Lynn’s going to have out soon, but that’s all I can say about it right now. So, without further ado, here is the checklist. Click the preview to download (it’s 8.5×11 for easy printing if that’s what you decide to do).

That’s all from me – at least for now! Have a fabulous Saturday!
