Sorry it’s been so long. I just recently got back from a 3 month long vacation to Missouri with my family. I needed some time to visit with my family whom I hadn’t seen in awhile and they truly LOVED the time with my son. Which he turned 2 while we were out there! He is growing so fast! It is so amazing how different he is now than he was 2 months ago. Anyhow, I took LOADS of photos and hope to get those scrapped in the near future. I haven’t actually touched Photoshop in so long I am not sure if I will remember what to do Sadly, I think it will be best if I step down from a few of my Creative Teams and my Design Team as well. They are all lovely positions and I truly love the people but am just not able to keep up that rigorous of a schedule on the computer anymore. I have a new respect for designers after I tried to do it professionally and couldn’t keep up with it. I hope one day that will change but I think for now, the best decision for my family and myself is if I slow my pace down and balance my life more evenly. This will not effect my giving out freebies and participating in challenges here and there. I will also keep on at least 2 of my CT’s for now and go with the flow I hope you all have been well and I will be getting a new freebie up for you sometime this week. Take care and see you all later

As of last month I started hosting a themed challenge over at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking (http://www.ndisb.com) and make a prize for anyone who participates. I wanted to extend this to all of my friends on here because it is alot of fun and hey you get great prizes just for one layout! Here is a preview of the prize you will received upon uploading a layout to the ndisb gallery for my challenges

Be sure to come check out the challenge I am hosting (I host it every month) as well as everyone else’s great challenges there!

I have a ton of links and blinkies over there in my sidebar —>

but they aren’t always showing up. I have tried to fix it and the only thing I know to do is to hit refresh and they should all show up LOL! So If the sidebar is blank, hit refresh up top because I have ALOT of really great links to freebies from myself, some great announcements, and a WHOLE BUNCH of really fabulous friends sites you gotta check out!

I just got accepted to be on the CT for Jan Bolton’s designs over at Scrapdish!!! I am so excited to be working with her, I have known her for about a year now through RAKscraps and I just couldn’t be happier working for some that is so genuinely sweet and an awesome designer! If there is anything you do, check out her works over at Scrapdish dot com.

This is a kit that I saw in the shop at K-Joi Studios and it just grabbed me. I will be working with it soon and making some layouts from it, but I just can’t wait to work with it. It is simply gorgeous! Take a look!

It is by designer, Melissa Herzog and retails for $6.00 which I think is a steal!
It includes the following:
5 Patterned Papers
1 Torn/folded Paper
7 Solid Papers (some with sanding)
2 Ribbon Knotted Ties
2 - twelve inche Ribbons with Bows
2 Small tags
3 Journal Blocks
1 Circle Fabric Scalloped Frame
1 Rectangle Scalloped Frame
1 Brass Frame
1 Brass Safety Pin
1 Brass Staple
1 Brass Brad
1 Brass Pearl Pin
1 Brass Photo Turn
1 Dotty Alpha with Numbers

All for only $6.00! That is awesome! I can’t wait to get working on it, it is perfect for just about any layout!
You can get it here >> Vintage Chick <<

It is October 1st. I have finally ‘almost’ caught back up. I had a HUGE system crash and lost alot of my scrapping files including most of the Pretty in Pink kit I was creating. I have made alot more things and tried to catch up so I can post all the links for you all. I was so heart broken when it happened and ashamed that I couldn’t get the kit out to you all sooner, didn’t wanna post until I had it all back up and ready but everything has happened so fast! I was asked to be on two CT teams, one for Kara Jones at K-Joi Studios and one for Karla Marano at KKD. Those two right there have taken up alot of my time but I am getting into the swing of things now and getting ALOT more free time. So I now have up to the 24th installment of Pretty in Pink up and ready for you all and should have the rest done by the end of this week as well. Again, I am truly sorry for not being able to deliver this when I said I would, but if my pc would cooperate with me, this wouldn’t be a problem.. Thank you again for sticking with me! I hope you have enjoyed the kit so far and continue to do so with the rest of it as I create it. Take care and Happy Downloading!

Ok, soo sorry to leave you all hanging. I had a major computer issue and thought my pc was just done for. Luckily I fixed it for the most part recently and am back to scrapping. I also just got back from Washington DC for vacation this past weekend.

 I am working on packaging up some more freebies for you all as I type this so never fear Leah is back and ready to give you all what you have been waiting for Thank you for sticking by me through this.

Hey all. I am really happy to have you joining me on this month-long freebie journey. I want to express my thanks even further by offering everyone who participates in a little challenge for me a bonus prize! Sound cool? Well here is how you can win the bonus prize.

All participants who use parts of this month long freebie kit, Pretty in Pink, in a layout and email me a link to them will receive a special bonus prize as well as be featured on my blog. I can’t wait to see your layouts! You can email the links to me at leah@scrapmuffin.com This contest will run until the end of August at midnight!

Ok it’s been crazy around here. I haven’t had a chance to get the freebies for the past 3 days up so I will do that here in a few, sorry for delays! Hope your days are going well

Yep you heard me right. I am having a freebie a day for the month of August starting, well.. NOW! It’s in celebration of my 1 year in Digi-Scrapping! Since I missed the first few days of the month due to time issues, I am going to go ahead and post 3 freebies for you all. This is all part of a kit I made just for this called Pretty in Pink (Yes, I am a child of the 80’s LOL)  and let me tell you this kit is HUGE so far and it just keeps growing! So far there are about 25 papers, 60 elements, about 6 full alphas (Upper, Lower, Numbers, Symbols!), and that’s not it! I am adding new things everyday and going to work on some templates soon too! I am really excited to share my hard work with you, I hope you enjoy it too! So without further ado.. I bring you… Pretty in Pink Megakit!
