new releases 10.25

hey everyone! hope you've been well this week... we're slowly recovering around here after our youngest had a high fever starting out the weekend Friday. Evidently just a virus, but it hit her hard with 103 degree temps for most of Friday, lower grade 100 degree temps on Saturday & then she seemed to be fine on Sunday. The full days of school this week have been hitting her hard though & so dealing with a tired & cranky 5 year old girl has been trying this week. Luckily, it seems everyone else has escaped it. My husband has been crazy busy at work with his right hand man gone for back surgery, trying to get time between rains to work on a garage project we have going on here & of course, a drain problem at our rental house pops up this week too! I've been trying to juggle kids, house & trying to get my design mojo back & I feel like I was pretty successful this week, having some fun new releases.  I've been taking a few online Illustrator courses, trying to help me out with my illustration abilities & I started messing around with some fox ideas. {I've seen some things in stores & online with foxes & thought it might be fun to try + I love the movie Fantastic Mr Fox}.  So, I guess that's how Like a Fox came about.  I think it woud be fun to use some of the elements for a party, decorations for fall or in a kids room...

& I even put together a set of printable aRt for fun of Mr & Mrs Fox...

you can also find the full kit HERE, which included the papers + elements.

Now, for a little inspiration...

new releases 10.18

I truly love fall.  Living in the midwest, we get the full range of the 4 seasons & this one is by far my favorite. I love the changing leaves, the cooler, but still sometimes warm weather, snuggling in the house & baking goodies for the family.  I guess it's not surprising that I enjoy the colors of fall & making fall themed kits either... so this week I have a new fall release. Fall in Love.

You can also get the paper + elements together here.

coordinating 3x4" journal cards come in .png & printable .pdf format.

& now, for some lovely inspiration with the kits...

that's my niece Payton in one of her senior pictures that my sister Carol took a few weeks ago. I truly can't believe that she'll be graduating. Such a lovely girl, don't you think?  I just couldn't resist putting her on a scrapbook page.

today these kits will be 30% off, so grab 'em up! I can't wait to see what you do with them! 

sorry that I'm so late in posting about this too... I had a very necessary trip to Target to pick up costumes for Evan & Lydia, dropped my iPhone face first on the concrete in a parking lot, cracking the screen {ugh! that made me want to cry}, but my adorable husband made me feel better by taking me out to lunch.  At least it still works...  Hope you are all having a wonderful day where you are.  We are in a drizzly cold spell right now, so tonight I do believe we'll cuddle up on the couch & watch some Cardinal baseball!

happy Thursday everyone! I'm excited to show you my newest collab with the amazing Sara Schmutz called Halloween Carnival...

here is my portion. kinda cute, kinda fun, kinda creepy.  a little bit of traditional & a little unexpected with some of the color choices, but I love how it turned out!

October house party

ummmm. can someone tell September it was way too short & it kinda freaked me out when my 5 year old came into our room this morning announcing "it's OCTOBER!!!" {yeh, she's kinda obsessed with the calendar... girl always knows what day it is better than I do}. It's not that I don't love this time of year, but how fast time's been slipping by lately has my head spinning! Oh well, I guess time flies when you're having fun & are busy, so I'll stop complaining :)

The great thing about the start of a new month?  A new house party at DHD!

here are my contributions...

new dollar kit 9.25

I love dollar kit Tuesdays... I put together a small element kit to coordinate with the Sydney papers I released Thursday...

ummm, hello how awesome is this hybrid card!

by {robyn meierotto}

yes... that's our new puppy. the kids have been begging for a dog for a long time & somehow this one ended up dropped off in our yard last Saturday morning. seriously. we often get the dumped pregnant cat, but a super cute puppy? never had that happen before. so, we've adopted her & the kids picked the name: Mabel. I still need to take her to the vet to get her checked out & see if they know exactly what breed{s} she is, but we're thinking a rat terrier mix.

anywho... you can get the dollar kit today & don't forget to take advantage of my 20% off my entire store until the end of this month in celebration of my 2 years at DHD! just enter ThanksFor2 at checkout!
