For those of you who read the blog regularly, you’ll know that means TGIF. That’s my traditional Friday post title. So the thought is there, even if the words aren’t. I’m so thankful that it’s Friday, I could just squee. This weekend Shannon and I are going to meet some friends from the campground down at the casino in Lawrenceburg on Sat. and play a little. Saved a little bit from the tax refund (can’t be responsible ALL the time now can I?) and Shannon did a lot of work in the back yard trying to get it so we don’t look like we have our own Forest/jungle so I’m paying him a little bit from the insurance settlement money. It’s been several years since we’ve been to the casino. We used to go a couple of times a year and at least once with my dad when we were home before he passed. He LOVED the casino. So in it’s own sick and twisted little way, this is my tribute to him. Anyway, send those good luck vibes my way ya’all.
I’m having a sale today and tomorrow. Woo Hoo. ALL of my paper packs are marked down to just $1 at DSG.

So I hope that you’ll stop by and check out the various paper packs I have done. I’m going to be retiring some of them, mainly the older ones. So stock up and save.
Also my newest pack will be available sometime today too. I was playing around with diamond shapes and overlays and started with these masculine colors and got to thinking cards, hense the name – Jacks or Better.

There are 7 deeply textured diamond pattern papers, 4 solid papers and 6 worn, torn and ripped png file papers. It’s a big download, I broke it into 4 files. But I really like the colors for those manly pages we all have but never seem to get to. They’ll be on sale for just a dollar Friday and Saturday too.
I’m also working on a design contest. I’m hoping to learn more things and get some insight on what I can do to make better designs, products and also pages. So they had a little pre-contest challenge. Here’s my entry. It’s a second attempt. I tweeked it a little bit.

Sorry link expired.
Did you pick up a copy of the Spirit of Summer charity collab? I’m so impressed that it has helped raise over $3000 in just a week. So many fantabulous designers involved and wow some of the CT’s that got ahold of it have made some amazing pages with it. I’m really proud to have been a part of it. Haven’t seen it yet? Go and take a look. I think that we may revolutionize how charity collabs are done in the future.
Ok, I hope that you have a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget about the dollar days sale on my papers at DSG. Check back next week for new freebies.
