I recently joined Karen Kleiman's creative team.  I've watched Karen's work evolve since she began digi design and it has been a joy.  I'm delighted to promote her work.  So...

Karen released Color Fest today at two stores:

Gingerscraps

Escape and Scrap

While you're there, make sure you have a look at her other kits.  She has some new ones coming out in the near future, too.

Here are the previews and a layout I did with Color Fest that features part of my paper doll collection (these dolls are by E.K. Duncan) and two of my great nieces:

I had so much fun playing dolls!

Welcome to the shade under the mulberry tree

I did it. I finally took the plunge and set up a blog. I can't really say why, but blogging intimidates me. Maybe it's because I don't do html. Maybe it's because I'm afraid I won't have a beautiful site. Mostly it's because I haven't a clue what I'm doing. But I'll learn. So bear with me while I get it all set the way I want it. It will get there although it may take some time. In the meantime, this will be my digiscrap and genealogy home. It will be the place where my friends can come play or just "set a spell" in the shade. I'm glad to count as friends some wonderful and talented digital scrapbook designers and I will share their work here. I'll also share their promotions and freebie information (although you will have to go to their sites to get the freebies, no hot-linking from here!) And I will be more than happy to share my layouts made from their beautiful kits.
