Sneak Peek at my FIRST Kit!

Ok….. here it is…. drumroll… hold your breath….. a SNEAK PEEK at my FIRST KIT, due to be released next week! It’s called, “Sweet Stuff” and I guess I should save it for closer to Valentine’s Day, but I have to release something! So this is it:) I have no clue how many people stop by my blog, but if you leave a comment telling me the kind of element you simply MUST have in a kit, I’ll pick 1 lucky winner to receive this kit absolutely free! Yes… free!

OK, well, that’s it from sleep deprived, little ol’ me!

Enjoy!

New Layout

I haven’t been doing very many layouts lately as my designing has taken the priority now that I have been accepted onto the design team of the GDS Store, and my 750GB hard drive is about 730GB full >.< I have never seen my little spinning rainbow thing so often and for so long and it’s driving me crazy! I have taken ALL of my Daily Digi stuff and put it onto a USB (and am SO worried it’s going to throw a fit and I’ll have lost it all!) and I still haven’t been able to find the time to get my hard drive changed to a 1TB. If anyone’s interested, I work on a MacBookPro early 2011 model and I’ve already changed the hard drive once, from 500GB to a 750GB – I would LOVE a 2TB!!! That would be luxury…

.

Anyway, here is my lone layout of the week…. I used a bundle by Sanko Studio called ‘Strive’. Hope you like it!

Julia

That’s it for now.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Facebook Fanpage {Freebie}

I have a Facebook Fan Page! Woot! It took a while to figure it all out,  but this weekend I decided to make it #1 priority to finish it…. and…. surprisingly… I DID!
.
Now I need some fans! Haha…. It seems a little sad to have my lovely new page and 2 likes:) So, I decided to offer up my one and only kit that I currently sell from my blog as a Facebook Exclusive Fan freebie for the next one week ONLY and then the freebie will be changed.
.
It’s a full kit of 20 papers and 30 unique elements made with NO CU products to ensure everything is super duper unique. The theme is perfect for scrapbookers…. “Scrap n Stuff”!
.
Anyway, if you would like to download the kit for FREE (check out the preview below), head on over to my Facebook Page and click the LIKE button. Wait a few seconds and the downloads page should load and you can grab the whole kit. I also have an ADD ON  Mini kit that you can download direct from this page… just scroll down.
Please note – the Facebook Freebie has changed! Check out my facebook page to find out what it is! The mini kit is still available – scroll down to grab it!
.
While we’re on the subject of ‘followers’ I also have TWITTER and would love for you to FOLLOW ME on Twitter HERE (@dodiesw)

My Latest Layouts

Well, it’s been a while since I posted my latest layouts, so here you are! A few of my layouts. I wish I had time to do more…

.
The first is using my own designs!  A lovely vacation photo taken on the beach! I did this layout in record time & think I need to revisit it as I don’t feel it’s done yet! It  needs more depth and more attention to shadowing. But no time at the moment so it’ll have to do until I have a minute to revisit it. Relaxing on the Beach - Digital Scrapbooking Layout

A photo of my sister and I taken on the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. Fantastic trip! Hopefully we’ll be there again in February.

‘Hope in the Rain’ Full Kit

{Hope in the Rain} Full Kit Freebie Digital Scrapbooking

Can you believe it? I actually made it to Round 4 of the GDS Design Contest! The FINAL round! And I made the cut! There are 8 designers left and we’re competing for a place on the GDS Design Team. What’s more, my Round 4 GDS Design Challenge kit is finished! Yay! This round we had to create a full kit of 10 papers, 20 elements and an alphabet! All in a week! We were given a photo from which we had to extract a colour scheme and were then free to create!
.

{Sorry! As this item will be the FIRST item in my brand new shop over at GDS, it is no longer a freebie. I hate to do this! If you’re interested in grabbing a freebie, check the other items on my blog or head over to my Facebook Fan Page for a freebie.

Here are a few more previews of the kit.

All About Me Mini Kit – ADD ON Mini {Freebie}

All About Me Freebie Add On Digital Scrapbooking I decided to do a small add on to my “All About Me” mini kit. It has 2 papers and 3 elements and I think it works well with the mini kit. I just love the “list” element and think it would be perfect for recording 10 words that best describe you! CLICK HERE to download. 

This is a direct download from my blog.

I hope you like it! Enjoy Dodie X

For Round 3 of this week’s GDS Designer Contest we had a Bonus Challenge to make a cluster using at least 1 frame and 5 elements from our Round 3 kit. Here is my offering! I love polaroids and so what better than a digital scrapbooking variation of polaroids… clustered polaroids!

It is pre-shadowed and is ready to use! It’s my first cluster, so any advice or feedback would be much appreciated!

‘All About Me’ Mini-kit {Freebie}

'All About Me' Digital Scrapbooking Mini Kit Freebie Free

My Round 3 GDS Design Challenge kit is finished! Yay! This round’s mini-kit has 5 papers and 10 elements and a coordinating cluster. I loved the colours, but we were not allowed to use CU products so we were stretched! But it was fun… once again working outside of my comfort zone.

An add-on freebie is coming soon so check back!

The last round of the contest, Round 4, and I’m so hoping I get into the last round, but am happy I took part in this contest so if I don’t make it – no worries!
