50% off retirement sale!

2011-10-12T03:34:00.000+13:00

Hello friends,... apologies for my absence these last few months. I'm afraid more bad news is to follow. After much consideration, I've decided to retire from designing. There have been many personal issues and I am heading in a different direction. I can not thank you enough for your support over the last year. I have really enjoyed seeing so many beautiful layouts made from my kits our there in digi land. Thanks to all those who were in my CT, I will miss everyone. And apologies to those girls who were meant to guest but didn't get a chance to work with my kits Please head over to the store for one final sale of 50% off all my kits... (excl shots). Ending 15th of October. Hugs to all xx

Have a great day!!

It's time to dig deep...

2010-08-15T05:59:00.000+12:00

For more than 90 days, oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico before the leak was finally "capped" in late July. It is estimated that approximately 4.9 million barrels (or 205.8 million gallons) of oil spilled into the waters. It has been one of the biggest environmental disasters in decades. Hundreds of miles of beaches, wetlands, and estuaries along the northern Gulf Coast have been impacted. The spill, though temporarily "capped", continues to cause extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats as well as the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries. Families are without work and marine and land animals continue to suffer. And there are still many unknowns about the long term effects of the oil and of chemical disbursements used in attempts to curtail the flow and impact upon the regional coastline and waters.

45 Designers have come together under the guidance of Sara Gleason to create this wonderful collaboration.

Available for sale for one month only, 100% of the proceeds from this kit will be donated to the National Wildlife Federation and to the United Way's Gulf Recovery Fund.

Hands Across the Gulf arrives Sunday 15 August 2010 at After Five Designs.
