Piccadilly Lane Fabric has arrived!!!

It's here!!! It's here!!! Piccadilly Lane Fabric is in the house!!! And that means it's in a store near you, too! To celebrate, I've designed a nifty carry-all bag which will be available soon as a pattern and the first 25 people who purchase it will be eligible to win a selection of fat quarters from Piccadilly Lane! THAT MEANS YOUR CHANGES OF WINNING ARE 1 IN 25!!! I'm putting the finishing touches on the pattern right now ( by the way, it's a download pattern right from your computer ) and it'll be available next week! Come back and check it out, along with some other inspirational sewing ideas using my new new fabrics! Also, check out the summer party going on over at the Henry Glass Blog! http://henryglassfabrics.blogspot.com/

I've put a new digital minibook up for sale on DESIGNER DIGITALS, available on Sunday.
This kit is pre-designed, just drop your photos in and it's done. OR, print it off on your printer, add some embellishments to it such as sequins, buttons, ribbons, etc. and you'll have a wonderful little "hybrid" mini-album. It measures 8x8" and the files open in both pcs and macs because they are .png files. This means you can easily just drag and drop! My sample pages are of the family animals, my daughter's two pugs and one of my cats, Nugget, whose name certainly doesn't fit. (He's a VERY BIG BOY).

This kit was designed in the style of one of my favorite artists, Henri Matisse. This is the first in a series of artist inspired kits! Take a look...

Here are the sample pages I mentioned. I used a font called "my shoes" for the journaling.

I'm giving away five freebies to anyone who wants to try their hand at digital scrapbooking, just leave me a message and I'll choose 5 winners on Tuesday, Jan. 8th, pm . You can purchase this kit on line at DESIGNER DIGITALS. where you'll also find tutorials, inspiration and lots of eyecandy!

I'm pretty sure the Initally Yours kit (below) is coming to the UK, I'll post soon about when! Thanks for all the enthusiasm! It really is a great kit! Not every single letter is glittered but many are. Each page also has some embellishments such as tags, flowers, etc. I just love the look of mixed letters, fonts, colors, don't you? It's so expressive and lively.

Have a great weekend!
