Lost my Designing Mojo

It has been weeks since I updated my blog. I've had computer problems and now i seem to have lost my desire to design. I'm hoping to start creating more freebies again soon.

Round 2 The Next Best Thing Designer Contest

Well I made it through to the next round. The instructions this week - create a kit for 25+. I went with a mature feeling kit called "Reflections" to help scrap our lives at particular ages. I would have liked to do more but my computer is about to blow up so i thought i had better get it into the contest before it actually dies. So here's hoping it is fixed soon so i can see all the other wonderful kits the other contestants have created.



You can grab my kit here at Digital Scrap Ink. I am hoping to create an add-on for this kit so keep your eye on my blog over the coming weeks for it (of course it all depends on the health of my computer as to when it gets created and posted!)

Dinosaur Stomp Layout

Here is a layout i created using my Dinosaur Stomp kit.




Don't forget you can find the links for this kit in the previous post.
