"Then as the claws pulled the rest of his body down into the darkness, he felt the hot and cold waves of panic running through his body. As he struggled for breath, the blood roaring in his ears, his shouts of terror began to subside, turning first into a whimper, then into a long plaintive wail. "

Glamouricious is Next!!

Oh gosh I had so much fun doing these pages. When I looked at the theme and colours and Addies description when she mentioned tagger; I thought posers. So I went looking for some cool stuff and ended up at Rendorosity where I found these way cool backgrounds by Folkvangar and of course one of my fave tube designers Out Law by Designs. I then play with the scenes and the tubes and
came up with these two little beauties. With the word glamour I tend to think magic too. Like putting someone under a glamour. Of course you can't get much more glamourous than those lovely poser dolls. Anyhows I hope you like my creations. Please see my TOU for proper credits. Thanks for looking.

Week Two Natures Glory

Oh gosh I had some trouble with this one. I thought the colours were amazing when I first looked at them but when I began to work with them I came to a great big stop. It was not easy to do what I wanted with the colours I had so I had to do a lot of working around them to get the desired outcomes. I think I succeeded after several failed attempts to do something with resembles Natures Glory!! I use flowers and other critters that I liked and put them altogether in this kit. I think you will like the bird house I made and its one and only occupant. LOL..LOL..LOL..I sat down and made some amazing quick pages for all of you as a thank you for your continued support. Thanks for all of those who voted for me and left some love in the gallery. Thanks very much everybody. Cheers Liz

The name of the contest is I can't believe you scrapped that Photo!, so that means, we don't want your cute, pretty, or awesome photos. We want those photos that you have hidden in the back of your photo box or on your computer in a folder called NO NO Photos. We want your worst photo, that blackmail photo you have been holding onto for ages. It's time to dig out all the funny things that your family and friends have done and scrap them and maybe some not so funny moments and lets not forget all the things our animals have done that they shouldn't have done.

And I Bring You What's My Scene?

I wanted to do something different in the male line of kits.
I have been noticing the trend towards emo, gothe and also
a little punk in the teenagers around me and I decided to
do something with that kind of theme, hence the skulls
and grunge. I know that they are different types of what they
call scenes hence the name of the kit What's My Scene?
Being a teenager can mean going through all these different
trends and chosing which one suits you best. I am 37 years
old and I once had a friend with the coolest mohawk you
have ever seen. So these types of trends go in and out of
fashion. Makes me feel kinda old too!!

There are 6 awesome papers and 12 elements as well as a full
alpha!!

Hopefully all problems are fixed now!! Let me know if you find anymore!!
Hopefully not!!

You can download this great kit for free here at Designs in Digital.

Angels and Memories

I am a little late getting this up this week. I have been ultra busy and still have not got done what I wanted to get done!! Sheesh where does the time go. Anyhow onto the exciting stuff. I have just completed Week 2 in the Designs in Digital designer contest. Wow did I have a ball with this!! I loved the colours so much and they reminded me of clouds, softness and angels. I did some research and discovered there were not many kits that you could use to remember loved ones who have passed away. But as you can see from my pages that is not the only use for this kit. I did dress my little piper girl as an angel and she looks just lovely too. You can download this wonderful kit from the gallery at Designs in Digital here- Angels and Memories Please leave a comment if you can. I would really appreciate it!!.
