What A Week!!!

I just have soooo much to share... tons of things in the works. So first and foremost I have some exciting news from SmashFit.com. I will be posting that later today. Suffice it to say that I'm going to have to REALLY ramp up my fitness... there's a reason I haven't been posting fitness and nutrition posts. I've been loafing and getting fat... hahahahaha! Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration, but my awesome, special, fun news makes me feel like I really need to get in gear and focus. Maybe you all can help me, and we can get in gear together! Stay tuned for that....

So on top of that GREATNESS, I get to also announce that I am part of my first design team!!! I've sort of been a Gypsy freak ever since I won mine from the wonderful gals over at Cutting Above, and it's nice to be able to team up with other freaks... hahahahaha! I'm kidding of course. Actually, I'm going to be designing with some AWESOME talent. Our fearless leader is Pam over at TheBugBytes.com and our design team is called The Gyptians (sorry for the Bangles song that might be running through your head right now... it's running through mine also. If it's not running through your head, then you're a lucky young whipper snapper! That song will not leave my brain!!! LOL)! It's a pretty fitting name, and this really is perfect since the team will be putting together design files to give away for free. I've had all my design files posted on my blog for free since I got my gypsy, so this is all really just an extension of what I already do... I LOVE IT! I'm so excited! Pam is so knowledgeable and super fun... this is going to be so FABULOUS!!!

And last, but certainly not least, there are talks with me helping out the good folks over at Cri-Kits.com. Nothing's been finalized yet, but I bought almost all of their pens and after they saw my project post from the other day (you can see it by clicking HERE) asked if they could use my work on their site. I would love to work with them since I just love those gel pens. It took me no time at all to master those pens and I'm already working on MULTIPLE projects to post for you guys in the upcoming weeks. I'm hoping they let me REALLY get my hands dirty over at Cri-Kits.com!!! hahahahaha! I let you all know when the tidal wave hits!

Well, that's all I've got for right now. I'm working on a submission to The Greeting Farm... I'm hoping to win some smack. Click on the link... there's an awesome digi up for grabs!

You all have an awesome Friday and don't forget about my blog give-away. Click HERE to find out how to enter and the HUGE prize haul up for grabs!!! They're my favorites!!! :)

Past 7 Days....

Inking Pink Blog Hop

Hi Hoppers! Danielle, a.k.a. FitterTwit here.... so glad you made it!!! If you're mid-hop, you should be arriving here from Chelsea's blog . Was that a great project or what!?! If you're just joining us and need to start the hop from the beginning, you're gonna want to head over to our lovely Hop Hostess Patricia's blog to start the fun here on our VERY IMPORTANT Inking Pink Blog Hop! Here's to Breast Cancer Awareness!!! My project for this hop is a reminder card..."Remember your checkups!" What a wonderful way to say "I love you" to a dear friend or family member. Now you may not be able to see it in the pic above, but I altered The Greeting Farm's Ebony so that her tee shirt reads, "Say YES to Mammograms!" So, today I wanted to share HOW I added the words to her tee. First I printed the words as small as I could and still be able to read the message using my laser printer onto the paper that I would be using to color in my im...

So Lame

So over at Paper Vineyard, the challenge was to create a birthday project and it COULDN'T be a card.  I've personally been creating WAY too many cards lately so I was happy to try my hand at something new..... only I didn't. :(  Instead, I was busy preparing for last week's Cricut Swarm.  Now, while I missed creating a project specifically for our Birthday Non-Card challenge, I figured the cupcake box that I made would fit the bill PERFECTLY for a birthday-themed project.  The box also has an insert for a cupcake to fit inside.  I made it with my Cricut (cuz of the whole Cricut Swarm bit) and while I ADORE this box, I sort of had a little melt down making it and I decided that this is the last Provo Craft product I will ever buy.... let me share why (read through to find out the cartridge I used for this project)! Most of you know that I DESPISE Provo Craft.  I hate that the Cricut is a one-of-kind product that I loved....

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
