Thought I'd share a couple of miscellaneous snippets of digital thingies I've started on & haven't had time to finish. (One is a sneak peek for my project for this week's Cuttlebug Challenge Blog, but I'm not tellin' which one, hehehe. ;o) Can't wait to show You the whole thing!) :-D
[By the by, if it matters, I'm not part of these design teams or anything, I just like this stuff muchly (and had to buy it, because I am crazy for the instant bliss of digital downloads. Plus doesn't it feel great to support artistes?) ] :O)
1...Emma Mermaid by Fred She Said
2...Mark's Paper digital kits: Old Fashioned Courtship
3...My Grafico - Zenware Circus & other nifty digis
4...For multiple project starters: ziplock baggie project organizing

Tracey (also famously know as Fred She Said) is SO ultra talented! I love this little face (though I think I made her a tad splotchy-she forgot sunscreen. YA that's it!) ;o) Aren't her wavy hair & her mermaid tail perfection? Emma mermaid has all kinds of cutie patootie buddies that I can't wait to print & colour. The beading was a hoot & I have a shaped card in mind for her home.
I also had to buy some Fred Flowers & Paper Pricking Patterns, 'cause who can resist!?! :O)

Old fashioned Courtship (the red one) :O)
Saw this flower in that Mark's Paper kit and had to get my hands on it. It comes in red (hot) when you buy the digi set, but is easily converted to black & white (even if you just print it that way.) I horsed around with gel medium on the blooms and vellum over DP. Love the big papers that come in the kit reduced to print card-sized too.
The Cuttlebug Challenge Blog peeps made some stunning things with this digi kit here &
There are some gorgeous projects (with all manner of goodies) on the Mark's paper blog here.

Thanks to Martha, I just re-discovered My Grafico. They have some hip designs! I had to buy and this sweet circus set (linked up there)--The seal & elerphant made me do it! Also, I clearly needed zis stunning floral panel & zeese Chandelier lovelies.
Are you a-scared of digital? Don't worry. They have 3 pages of gorgeous high quality freebies here. Not intimidated by digis? They're having a contest too.
The My Grafico blog shows off all their goodies.

Project Storage:
This is cheap, but it sure has made me cheerful! I've started collecting the elements of all the projects I start & don't get around to finishing up (in big ziplock baggies.) They hold large format cards and 6x6 papers nicely & all the bits for each individual project are in one spot.
Best part, of course, is that none of the weensy parts get lost & you can put them aside to finish later. Waiting is so helpful for me, since I often rush a layout in the heat of the moment, and then I'm not happy with it. (Layouts frusterpate me to no end!) I keep them stacked in this Ikea paper organizer.
