Both are available in the Mama Mia Shop at Sophia Sarducci. That's all for this week! Lots more coming in July, so stay tuned!!

Ready to give MAGICAL a try?

2008-05-10T20:08:00.010-04:00

I keep seeing all of these awesome, fairy-ish, fun layouts everywhere and it's so tempting to try...but I am just not that kind of scrapper!! So to help those of us who are "Magically Challenged", I put together a set of Enchanted Backdrops to help us out (and hopefully those who are MASTERS at this scrapping will find use for them as well!).

Below are some LO's that my wonderful CT has done with them (click on their names to take you to their galleries for further credits)...

By Lilja

By Crystal

By Mandy

By Lisa

As I'm sure you can tell, the possibilities are endless!!

Available in my shop at Sophia Sarducci (and if you get there on Monday, they're 20% off!!).

Happy NSD!!

2008-05-01T14:24:00.002-04:00

Without making you scroll down forever, here are the previews of what's in my May/NSD Grab Bag, available for ONLY ONE DOLLAR on NSD (5/3/08) and then it will be $2 for the rest of the following week:

I think that's quite a deal for $1!!!! Available in my shop at Sophia Sarducci.

So wherever your journeys take you on NSD, hope you have a great one! Happy Scrapping!

New stuffs next week and while I'm at it...FREEBIE time!

2008-04-25T13:37:00.003-04:00

I do laundry every Monday, rain or shine. I am pleased to report that it is now Friday and the laundry is clean - not so pleased to report that it is still sitting in 6 large laundry baskets awaiting folding and putting away...UGH. Most important though, is that I have been a designing FIEND this week (can't imagine why the laundry isn't done). Without further ado, I have some new designs for the shop - these will be released on Monday 4/29:

Two new Style Me Textured packs (commercial use okay):

This is also going into the shop Monday, but I thought I'd offer it as a freebie through Sunday night:

Click here to download!

Don't forget about Monday Madness (all new releases are 20% off each Monday) - or, if you have more restraint than I - kaboodle it and wait for a bigger sale!

Hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend!

They've got a new Springitude...

2008-04-09T07:10:00.005-04:00

First of all, thank you SO much to every one of you who took the time to come on over and leave a comment. I had my kids pick three lucky numbers between 1 and 10 and the following commenters were chosen: pam, chinamama and birgit. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Now, as soon as I figure out how to email ya'll, I'll get you the DL links!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!

ETA: pam and chinawoman...I cannot get your emails off of Blogger, so please either pm me at DST or email me at mamamamamia@gmail.com so I can get you your kit!! THANKS!

Week of 4/7/08

2008-04-05T14:41:00.003-04:00

Is anyone else completely flabbergasted that the calendar says April?? My oldest just brought home her 3rd Q report card...where does time go??

I really need to shake these winter blahs and get a Spring Attitude...a SPRINGITUDE!

Hey! That's a great name for a kit...

It's got a little something for everyone, for serious pages and fun, lighthearted themes as well.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look. Leave a comment and your name may be drawn to win this kit...you can have your own Springitude!!

I am also letting my grab bag go for one more week, so grab that as well. Scroll down for a peek at what's inside that; I promise it's a bargain for $2!!

Together, at last, it's Grab Bag time!

2008-03-31T08:42:00.002-04:00

Despite the fact that it's not officially April (give me a few hours here in the Eastern Time Zone), I'm releasing my grab bag today.

And let me tell you, it is STUFFED full!! See below for a sneak peek - and don't forget that today only it's on sale for 20% off. That's one heck of a deal for only $1.60!!

Available at Sophia Sarducci. Thanks for looking and have a great week!!

Coming next week...

2008-03-20T14:35:00.002-04:00

I have several new products that will be released next week (on Monday, 3/24). The first three are a lil' something different: an element/alpha pack, all gingham and sewn up real nice with black blanket stitching (some people may not associate black with spring, but I think it looks really sharp against pastels!). I plan to put out a paper pack that will coordinate with all of them and have a white threaded version in the works (if you're interested, double check the April grab bag!!).

There will also be a Quick Page release for the On Vacation series. The QP's will all be available individually or you can get them in an album (the album will also contain the QP's by Sophia, so there will be 20 total).

***Don't forget about Monday Madness...20% off new releases*** And, if you haven't used it yet, there's a nice fat coupon in the DST Insider for March (which is QUICKLY coming to a close!!).

Have a great weekend!!

2008-03-09T18:47:00.001-04:00

Well, it came, it conquered and hopefully is OVER!!

Welcome to my blog...

2008-03-06T16:55:00.006-05:00

WhenI was a sixth grade teacher (you know, in Olden Times as my kids call it), we used to do this Snow Dance to bring on a snow day. It went something like putting your socks on inside out and dancing upside down...I'm sure there are many variations on it still around. Well, I, personally, am SICK of snow/cold/slush/gray. I am in a SPRING mood and am trying to REPRESS the fact that we are due for up to six inches tomorrow. Since it would be very difficult to share an anti-snow dance with you (not that you'd want to see it anyway, lol), I'm giving away this spring sampler, hoping it will keep the snow AWAY!!

You can download it here. Just do me a favor and scrap something SUNNY and WARM with it! Enjoy and have a GREAT weekend.

March Grab Bag!

2008-03-03T14:50:00.003-05:00

Presenting...

Now, the whole fun of a grab bag is that you don't know what you're getting, but in the digiworld, this has caused some problems with people being disappointed...and I certainly don't want anyone disappointed in any purchase they make from my little corner of Sophia's. So, below are the previews of what is included in the grab bag:

(can you tell I'm a little hooked on this slideshow thing??).

Anyway, if it's something that appeals to you, run and get it today as it's on sale for 20% off (not that $2 is a lot to pay, but it's always such a nice feeling to know you caught a sale price!!). Available here.

Hope your week is off to a GREAT start!

My scrapping weekend...

2008-03-02T21:48:00.001-05:00

My sister and I holed ourselves up in a hotel this weekend and scrapped our hearts out for 48 hours straight. We have done this before, but this is the first time I have ever done it digitally...just me and my laptop! Can I just say how painful it was listening to the click click of her corner rounder? There are aspects of paper scrapping I miss, but NOT the ENORMOUS amount of supplies and NOT the clean up! She was heavy into tearing paper this weekend and I had to laugh because while the computer was tearing MY paper (thank you, Atomic Cupcake!), I was able to pour myself a DCoke!

So, I got 31 pages done and have four more mapped out. This will bring me to the end of June...2005!!!! I have to keep going; I don't want to forget the millions of little things and reasons that I took these pictures!

I had decided that this weekend was going to be for scrapping only: no designing and no worrying about finding CT stuffs that would work. It was SO fun to actually use my scrap stash...I was AMAZED by the amount of really COOL stuff I have accumulated and not had time to use. It was like Christmas morning a thousand times over!

So here are my accomplishments...I'm not listing credits (talk about OVERWHELMING!), but if you see something and must know where it came from, just let me know and I'll tell ya!
