I have a few announcements today...
More flexibility and choice with your scrapbook style layout
As you know, I tend NOT to use other designer's kits in my scrapbbok layouts as I prefer to offer something that is unique in terms of content. Also, by using my own kits, I do not need to purchase kits or commercial use (CU) licenses, which means I don not need to pass these costs onto you, so my prices remain low. However, if you do wish to use a certain kit in your work, then I am happy to liase with the designer concerned and to arrange purchase of the kit and commercial license on your behalf. I would need to add that cost onto the price of my makeover, but it does give you MUCH more flexibility in what you can request. I will be making more of my own kits too, though each ones takes about 40-50 hours to make, so there's a limit to how many I can make.
Preferred designer list
I am currently getting together a list of preferred designers and other designers. To make it onto my preferred designers list, I will consider:
- the standard of the work
- the designer's terms of use and restrictions
- a lifetime commercial use license is preferrable as this keeps costs down for you
- not having to keep re-purchasing th same kit would be great too as this keeps costs down for you too
I will also be making a list of other kit designers, along with their terms of use/restrictions and approximate prices so that you can find something to suit your budget. I'll be sending out the designer's list along with all requests for makeovers- if you are a designer and you'd like to be added to the list them please contact me.
Holiday blogging
I will be taking a blogging holiday for 10 days over Christmas/new year, but will be making daily posts for my Countdown to Christmas giveaway. I'll let you know more information nearer the time :)
Please spread the word
I'd be greatful if you could spread the word about my Countdown To Christmas giveaway which will be starting on 1st december. I'll be giving away everything from favicons and signatures to premade templates and other things.
Anyone up for a design challenge early next year?
Somebody (sorry I can't remember who) suggested that I might try hosting a design challenge on this blog. I really loved the idea and have a few thoughts on this. If I supplied the scrapbook kit, would anyone be interested in joining? If you're a digital scrapbooker yourself, do you know of any others who would join in? (Go drag them over here to let me know they'd be in). I have little time to waste and there's no point it people aren't interested. If you've ever wanted to try digital scrapbooking then a free kit and the mptivation of winning a prize may be something that finally gets you started.
My Christmas cards came and I love them - I think I'm IN love with them
This year I designed my own pack of Christmas cards and sent them off to Moo for printing. they weren't particularly cheap, but I love Moo's quality and theit quality of service. Well they arrived yesterday and I am in love with them, I can't wait to start sending them out. I'm going to take some pics of them at the weekend and bore you all silly with them :)

I am going to be launching some new Christmas pre-made templates at the weekend. All of them are scrapbook style and made using Corina Nielsen's fantabulous designs!
Happy thanksgiving to everyone in USA
