well, i've been so bad and neglecting my blogs... both of them... lol

though i did get my scrapkits and templates zipped up and posted for everyone!

i'm still working on the masks and a few other things... when i finish those i'll get them zipped up and posted too!

i have just been so busy with the new forum and trying to get some other things done in RL that i haven't had a lot of time to get those little projects finished just yet, but i am working on them again at least!

the new forum is going pretty good and we're finally starting to get some new members to participate. so it's getting to be pretty fun!!!

come check us out!!!

PSP Party Central

In the next week or so, I'm going to be zipping up all my templates, masks, scrapkits and word art for putting here on the blog!!!

I know I ain't the world's greatest but I still like doing them when I get the mojo for it and I love sharing!!!

So be looking for some link updates to all my stuff sometime between now and the weekend!!!

Well I haven't been posting much here because I've been writing tutorials for PSP Party. I thought I had lost my mojo there for a while cuz I was only doing tutorials from other sites and then WHAM!!! One morning I woke up with ideas and I've written like 6 tutorials in the last 3 or 4 days... lol

If you'd like to check them out, go to PSP Party and you can see all the ones I've done recently...

A couple of them are still being coded and aren't quite on the website yet, but they will be shortly... so ENJOY!!!

Gabby was working on a tutorial tonight and we joined up forces to do it together. Our versions came out totally different but it was still a lot of fun!!!

If you'd like to try it out, then the link is below...

Again all my friends have already gotten these same awards, so thank you Trish for another award and I hope the someday I'll actually know enough people that I can pass these on too!!!

I received this award from Trish at Dreamland Designs. Go check her and her awesome work out, you'll be glad you did.

This seal is being given to the blogs which are very charming, these bloggers aims are to find friends not self promotion. The hope of this award is that, even when the links are cut, even more friendships are proporgated.

Give this award to eight blogs, who in turn must pass it onto eight more...

Sometimes I really hate these things... lol... cuz I have no one to pass them on too!!!

Thank you to Gabby n Red at Heavenly Designs x2 and Trish at Dreamland Designs for this award. I am truly blessed to have these great and talented friends!!!

I would love to pass this one on too but so far, I'm getting these from the only people that I would be able to pass them on to... lol

This is the challenge instructions:

Go to your photo folder in your computer.
Go to the 6th folder of the photos.
Go to the sixth picture.
Put the picture on your blog and description of it.
Invite six friends to join the challenge.
Link them in your blog and let them know they have been challenged.

Alright, this picture is one of my kids last summer while they were in Houston with their grandparents. (My mom gets a picture of all her grandkids at least once a year... lol)

My son was 15 and my daughter was 13. My kids are my life, my inspiration and they are what keeps me going when life makes me just want to throw in the towel. They each have their own trials and talents, but they keep on trucking every day despite the things that life keeps throwing at them... I couldn't have ever wished for better kids!!!

Oh and I'm not challenging anyone with this... mostly just because, the only people I knew here that I could have, well... they've already done this challenge or passed it on to me... lol

Can ya tell I been in a weird mood lately???

I decided I liked this scrap kit too and that I just had to do my own little thing for it... lol

I have a real bad tendency to do a tutorial the way that they do it almost exactly and then I like to go back and do it with my own little twists and variations... you'd be surprised what you come up with sometimes... lol

I was feeling a little evil tonight and when I did this tutorial... well... you see what I came up with... lmao

Well, I managed to get another tutorial written tonight... so that's 2 for me today!!!

For those that don't remember the Kiss My Ass tag I did a few weeks ago... I posted it above this again as a reminder... lol... I've been telling myself this whole time that I was going to write it up and I finally got it done... it's even uploaded to the class section of the Party website and everything!!!

Anyway, if you'd like to check it out, http://www.psp-party.com/ and look for the class section!!!

I made this for MPT's Valentine Contest and even though I didn't win, I love the way it turned out... and I liked it enough that I made it into a class tutorial for Party...

If you'd like to try it out, you'll find it in the class section of the website... just click the link below...

I'm really loving the tuts here, but I wish that more of them were FTU... lol

I did this cute little tut last night and even though I threw my own little twists into it, I think it turned out pretty cute. Thanks to my friend Gabby for the tube!!!

hers (the purple one on top) was so much better but i like mine too!!!

Thanks to my dear friend Gabby at Heavenly Designs... she was feeling sorry for me last night and made me this beautiful new layout for my blog!!! Of course, then today she had to talk me through how to get the damn thing on the blog cuz I guess I was having too many blonde, senior moments to figure it out myself... lol

Thank you Gabby... I love it!!!

And thank you to my other dear friend Trish from Dreamland Designs for the layout I had before... she knows all about the Diva in me and I totally loved that layout too!!!

It's great to have wonderful and talented friends like these two women... if only everyone could be so lucky!!!

These are my results of this great tut... and a couple more of my entries into the PSP Party Valentine's Contest!!!

https://sites.google.com/site/shazdesigns/valentine-love

It was a lot of fun and there's plenty of different ways to go using the kit for it!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!

I'm not real big into passing these things around so I'm just going to say thank you and let it stop there...

In the meantime, I hope everyone is well and I'll post more of my results for the old challenges in the next few days!!!
