I've done several other pages but they were all of school stuff and I would have had to blur out the majority of the picture to be able to post it to the web. So these are the ones you get :)

First day of School

I blurred out the names of the other kids and teacher for the web because I doubt they or their parents would be too thrilled about that. The pages look better without the paint :)

First To's for DSS

I'm calling first to's this month. What have I gotten myself into!?!? I have to come up with a list of 15 or 20 things that people can post layouts about by Monday. I'm totally drawing a blank about what to do. Obviously I want some easy ones that people might already have done but then I want some hard ones that people would have to work at.

So if anyone out there reads this (I think Hummie is it but a girl can dream can't she) and wants to make a suggestion, I'm all for it. Comment and suggest layout ideas! :)

Also, once I found out what what the prizes are, I'm jealous that I'm not participating because the prizes rock! The superb Tina has graciously donated 3 different mini kits and they are fantastic as always.

The perfect kit?

I'll admit, I've been reading the smack blogs. I know they are crappy but I sort of view them as an internet soap opera. So far, I haven't seen anything terrible about anyone in the digi-community, just general gripes and complaints.

A recent thread was talking about what makes for a great kit and what makes a bad kit. Several people talked about kit naming really helping to "make" a kit. Now that I'm at least halfway through my ACDsee tagging fun, I agree with them 100%!!

First of all, if you want credit, put your freaking name (or first initial and last name or first name and last initial or internet name or something) in the file name! I went through awhile back and deleted a bunch of stuff that didn't have credits in the file name. I didn't delete it all because there are several things I like and use, I just don't know who or where I got them from.

Second, put your kit name in the file name. I have a butt load of freebies (that is all I scrap with and I'm not hurting for stuff). Just because I have a designer name, doesn't mean it all works together. If I have a kit name, I can say "you know, I really like this paper and these clips or those corners go with so I'll use those" Typically, I mix and match designers and elements but I'm finding more and more that my pages look better and are easier to do and credit if I use one kit or one designer for each page. I wish that more designers would make this easier for people.

Also, something they talked about in the other blog was 10k downloads. When I dl a file, I don't need a personal thank you, a store thank you, a TOU, an anti-theft note, etc. And I don't need that for each file that I dl for a kit. Seriously, if you have 3 folders of stuff in your dl, you don't need to put a preview of the whole kit in all the files. One preview would be fine.

The other thing is being clear in naming your TOU. Don't call it TOU or terms or anything generic like that. Name it something like designer name-kit name-tou to help keep the TOUs with the right designer and the right kit. Especially, if the TOU has something unique in it, like a commercial license or something other than the basic "this is mine, I made it, don't steal it, credit it, not for commercial use, I like to see the things you make so email me your layouts"

I'm by no means an expert in digi-scrapping or a voice of any kind in the industry. But hopefully, an aspiring designer or two will read this and help us out by naming things usably :)

This is one of my favorite recent layouts.



Credits: Not totally sure. The heart and the ribbons come from the Feb Rakscraps kit but I can't remember the designer.



Again, not totally sure on the credits. I'm not at my regular computer. I'll open the files and look it up later.
