I'm terrible, aren't I? I just go AWOL without warning, and then you guys all feel like spanking me, don't you? (hmmm, on second thought, maybe I just do it for the spankings, what do you think?)
Aaaanyway, I debuted at SBG on September the 1st, and I've been having a blast! It's been such a wonderful experience, I'm thrilled to have my Studio open! Plus Megs is there to hold my hand, which has been a major help!
And I kicked it off in the best possible way, with 3 (yes, THREE) spanking new collabs!
The first one with Megs (none other than the flergs, as my husband would say) is called Squeeee!:
I went a tad overboard on this one, and made 7 additional alphas, available individually or as an 8 alpha pack:
Then I teamed up with my friend Nicole, of the Sugarplum Paperie, and thought people might enjoy a glass of Chilled Wine:
Finally, my friend Franziska Altmann and I got together to bring you some cardboard-y goodness in the form of Free Spirit:
BUT, that's not all! After all of these collabs, I went out and made a kit of my own, brand new - Kiss and Tell, debuting today at SBG:
and then I just had to go and make a matching Kiss and Tell freebie for you guys:
And, because it's been so long since I've blog, here's a coupon to pick up Kiss and Tell with a 20% discount: 
The code is KissingGame (in case the image decides to go missing).
Whew! I really shouldn't go this long without blogging, I'm exhausted just by the sheer length of this post!
A Freebie, and 4 new kits.

Mango Tango, and 11 new designers!
Wednesday, July 16, 2008Hi everyone!
It's time for another Sunshine Girls (and Guy, can't forget my hubby!) freebie collab! Squeeeee!!! This time around it's called Mango Tango, and I'll show you my preview and give you my link in a minute.
Before that let me just spill what I've been dying to say: we ended up adding not one, not 5, not even 10 but 11 (eleven!) great new designers to Sunshine Studio! Can I get a giant mega squee???
Who are they, you ask? Well, their shops will be going live on Friday, but they're contributing to Mango Tango as well, so you'll get a sneak peek sooner! Just drop by the Sunshine Studio blog to be directed to their individual blogs and download their shares of Mango Tango! And don't forget to show off the gorgeous LOs you create with it at our gallery!
Ok, here's my share at last:
Mango Tango 1
Mango Tango 2
Enjoy and, once again, don't forget to drop by the Sunshine blog for the rest of your links!
My first ever grab bag! Plus QPs, a new kit and... a FREEBIE!
Friday, June 27, 2008Yup, I've been wanting to make a grab bag ever since I started designing, and I finally did! Exclusively at Sunshine Studio Scraps:
Available for a limited time only (June-27th to July 3rd), this is my first grab bag ever.
Inside you'll find 9 as of yet unreleased products and a little bonus, all for $3!
Note that the coupon does not work on the grab bag!
Then I have some Quick Pages made out of Cinnamon Breeze by the lovely and talented Franziska Altmann (also exclusive to Sun Studio):
And, finally, exclusively at my Elemental Scraps store, there's Neon Tantrum, my latest kit:
Also available as separate elements and paper packs.
Finally (whew!) here's the coordinating freebie!
I'm an idiot!
Monday, June 16, 2008I'm an idiot!
Yup, I am! What would you guys say if I told you that I have been so out of it that I completely forgot to blog that the Sunshine Girls (and Guy, let's not forget my lovely hubby who has been posting here so that my blog won't just fade into oblivion!) finally managed to open shop - Sunshine Studio Scraps? You'd say "You idiot!" in your best Dr. House voice, wouldn't you? Yup, I would too. I have, actually, lol! I know I got Vasco to post that we were opening but, after that, I didn't say a word! What did I tell you? I'm an idiot! ;)
So, to make it up to you guys, I bring you both a freebie and a coupon. But, first, let me show you my new fan blinkie, and also what has been keeping me busy:
My wonderful friend and head CT Jeannette, aka Nett, aka Lady_Grundlefunk, is a hidden blinkie making marvel! Look what she made for me, isn't it gorgeous? I'm in love!
As far as new products are concerned, let's start with my Cinnamon Breeze kit:
Also available in separate Elements and Papers packs.
The Alpha in Cinnamon Breeze is a multicoloured one, and I liked the end result so much I ended up making an 8 Alpha Pack, each in their own colour. Did I mention I'm an alphaholic?
Next are boxes, boxes and more boxes. But, because boxes don't like to be alone, they come with tears, curls, rubber bands and even custom drop shadows in separate pngs. Oh, and some clusters too. Build-A-Box 1:
And Build-A-Box 2:
Or you can get Build-A-Box 1 & 2 together and save yourself $1:
"Enough with the product previews already, where is my coupon?" I hear you saying.
And you have the added benefit of insulting me for not having told you about Sunshine Studio Scraps! You can use it up to twice per person so, in case you use it and forget to get something, you can still grab it at a discount! Enjoy your freebie, and I'll try and pay more attention to my poor neglected blog, promise
"And the freebie?" Here it is, it's a mini kit that coordinates with my collab with the lovely Studio Flergs, What Dreams May Come. You can click on the image or on the download link to get it.

Love Actually - At last!
Sunday, February 17, 2008First of all, and before I give you your well-deserved freebie, I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to all the lovely comments you left me here on the blog. They made me feel so appreciated, I got a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
I ended up missing my son's party at the park, that was one of the worse days for me. Now I'm at the point where the pain is completely gone, as well as the infection, but I'm not 100% out of the woods yet, because my eardrums are still sort of glued inside. I'm under strict instructions to chew a lot of gum (!) and blow my nose often, even if it's dry, to help make my eardrums pop and, if all goes well, that will be the end of it. If all goes less than well, though, they'll have to do a kind of small surgery, or so I'm told. Here's trusting in the power of the almighty chewing gum!
On other news, I am planning on having a CT Call - probably a CT Challenge, to borrow the idea from my fried Flergs - in the near future, I just need to get a few things back on track.
Now, finally, here is Love Actually:
Enjoy your freebie!
My share of Love Actually will be delayed :(
Thursday, February 7, 2008Hi everyone!
I know you're all probably tired of hitting the refresh button on my blog, coming from one of the collab girls' blog, and wondering where on Earth is my share. The truth is, it won't be available today.
I fell ill at the beginning of last week, but it was mild enough not to bother me. It was a pesky viral infection that David, our youngest boy, caught and promptly dealt with in a few days. Apolo had it, hubby had it, I had it... it was annoying, but nothing much. Then, by Saturday, I felt an enormous pain in my right ear, just after blowing my nose, but it went away after a few minutes, so I thought nothing of it.
Monday morning I woke up with the ear pain again and, this time, it just wouldn't go away. Hubby took me to the hospital, they misdiagnosed me, mis-medicated me, it spread to both ears, I had to rush to the hospital again and, after two shots, the pain finally went away, but I'm partially deaf for the time being. Yesterday, since although the pain was gone, the unrelenting pressure in my ears wasn't, I called to a different doctor. Turns out I should be taking an additional med, only no one had seen fit to tell me that before.
Fast forward to today and, in addition to the stupid pressure inside my ears and the partial deafness, I puked my guts out after taking the antibiotic. I feel tempted to say this can't get any worse, but don't want to jinx it. Yesterday was Apolo's 10th birthday, and I couldn't enjoy it with him; the party will be Saturday at the park, and I'm beginning to fear Vasco (hubby) will just have to take the kids without me. I'm beginning to feel slightly desperate.
What, I hear you ask, does this have to do with your promised freebie? Well, I didn't get to finish it. I swear I tried to get it ready, even gave it an extra push yesterday, but it was turning out to be a rush job and, freebie or not, I don't want to give you substandard designs. I will finish it as soon as I feel slightly better, I promise!
For now, here are the links to the rest of this amazingly beautiful collab freebie, and I really am sorry for the delay!
Dreams in Colour Alpha
Monday, January 14, 2008It's Freebie Time!
