Kimberz Again

2012-01-29T11:58:00.000-06:00

Kimberz does it again with Nighty Night Princess, a layout about her little sister's homecoming. She used my Goodnight Star, a recent addition to the store and an old contest entry. Hop over and give her a compliment.

My Review of Roku 2 XS Streaming Player

2012-01-09T17:01:00.001-06:00

Originally submitted at Roku

Adds an enhanced remote for playing games, plus extra connectivity options.

Happy

By KatLen from nowhere MO on 1/9/2012

Pros: Easy to use, Easy to set up, Wired

Cons: Inconsistent performance

Best Uses: Living room, Primary TV

Describe Yourself: Movie buff, Home entertainment enthusiast, Netflix fan

I waited until the direct wired version was available because our internet is slow. The XS has very few snags in the transmission and fairly quick start times. Great selection of free channels.

Hybrid Project

2011-08-31T16:47:00.005-05:00

My SIL creates jewelry and her daughter at 2 loves to get into it. I remembered how much fun the nursery kids at church loved stringing beads on shoe strings. I have been looking all over for a container that was easy for a 2 yo to open and not her little brother. Then I saw the tootsie roll containers I was saving for no particular reason ... tada ...

I am not really a hybrid person, so no fancy ribbons or anything. Just paper glued onto the container ...

I used my BFF! kit available at Moo Two and Designs in Digital.

A Time to Remember

2011-05-27T12:45:00.003-05:00

Memorial Day marks a time to remember those who have gone before us in life and in battle. So for those patriotic photos, I have put all my Oh, My Stars kits at 50%. I have also created a little add-on. The remember word art is a repeat from last year, but the rest is new. The checkered paper is "quilted". Download it at 4shared.

I am putting together another USA patriotic kit, but this time focusing on the fun - thinking picnic maybe. See my previous blog entry for info and a freebie.

Free Kit

2011-05-26T13:06:00.006-05:00

I am working on a new patriotic kit and am looking for some input.
I am thinking about a picnic/summer games theme. Are there already too many of these in this set of colors? What would you like to see in this kit? Looking for a name as well. For suggestions, I will give you the parts I develop from your ideas as well as a percent off the entire kit when finished. For the name, a free copy of the kit.

In the meantime, enjoy these few items I developed this morning: paper, frame and ribbon

Halloween Tales

2010-10-29T18:32:00.008-05:00

Moo Two Design team has put together an excellent Halloween kit and the last chance to buy it at a discounted price is this weekend. Scoop up the savings. In the meantime, a list of us have cr

eated a small (and some not so small) add-ons for this kit.

We just had so much fun with the colors and theme.

Pick up this huge kit at the Moo Two store.

In addition, we have a little story. If you jumped in here, you may want to go back to the beginning at the Moo Two Blog. The start of the story and a freebie are there too.

My part of the story:

The cry went on long and pathetic, rising and falling in pitch. It was probably some kittens, the abandoned and unwanted offspring of a family pet, discarded by a callous owner. If it was and if he opened the box, what then? He would then feel responsible for them, would have to take them home. No, better to leave them for someone else, not his problem. But the cry was echoing round the alley, echoing inside his head, there was something about it that sounded almost human. Perhaps it was a baby shut in the box, he thought, in the dark.

continue the story at Mags Graphics.

And you can pick up a bit extra over at 4shared.

Blog Train - A Name and A Blessing

2010-07-31T10:03:00.004-05:00

A tradition in our church is to give a baby "A Name and A Blessing". I am told it is similar in some respects to a Christening. Most often the ceremony is done with infants of 1-2 months, but I have seen twin 6 year-olds receive the blessing. I went with a more just baby mini-kit, but you will see others who did more in this train.
Enjoy this as a baby kit or for that special blessing day.

I am looking forward to picking up the entire kit. I have a nephew is due in Aug!

2010-01-13T19:01:00.002-06:00

If you have been checking in here - I have been in a creative lull....
but I have kept up with a 365 project - mine is at facebook.

Winter Soltice

2009-12-21T11:09:00.006-06:00

Happy Beginning of Winter (or Summer if you are down under).
I have been working on a set of Winter Journal Sides for a while and just can't seem to finish. Journal Sides are 12" x 3" - perfect for journaling or downsize a bit for a bookmark or other element. So far I have this snowman, a penguin, a half-finished polar bear and was thinking of some mittens and a sweater. Here is the snowman and mitten trail.
My Christmas Journal Sides are also on sale and for visiting my blog. Here is an extra $0.50 off. 7080f48da7 (good through Dec 31)
Please make a comment about Journal Sides - Do you like the idea? Should I continue with other topics?

Brr!! It has been biting cold this week. The goats object. The chickens don't like the wind and neither do I.

I figured out how to make a Facebook Fan page - see box on right down a bit.

Now what do I do with it?

Happy Thanksgiving again

2009-11-26T08:49:00.002-06:00

Another set from me because I feel so blessed. (do wish I had a steady job and that the designing actually brought in money) There are so many blessings to count.

Don't forget to hope on by the K*Joi blog for another set.

Happy Thanksgiving

2009-11-22T17:40:00.002-06:00

Wonderful time of the year, a time to think about all your blessings.

Family Fun Game Night

2009-11-17T16:34:00.007-06:00

I have put together an add-on for Game Night in the same fun happy colors and both kits are on sale until the 28th. I hope to get some photos of our crew enjoying some games over Thanksgiving weekend.
When I worked on the add-on, I had to create my own dice. Now I am selling the file I created CU PSD to create dice. I am offering a few samples I made with the kit. 4shared.

Farm News Friday

2009-11-14T04:43:00.002-06:00

We have lost several chickens and a duck. Have not seen or identified the culprit, but I think it may be varied. Been seeing a lot of hawks and I am sure that the mammal vermin are keeping the dogs up at night.

Facebook

2009-10-27T08:14:00.001-05:00

Yes, I have finally taken the plunge and started a facebook page. The badge is over there on the right.

Game Night

2009-10-10T10:10:00.010-05:00

If you are the first to suggest a game which I use, you will get the new add-on for free! Make a comment here, not at 4shared.

A gift for you - I ran this freebie a while ago - but some may not have got it. It is a 2009 frame and journaling pair of Uno hands.

We finally decided that all the ducks we had were female, so on Friday we visited a local farmer and bought what we hope is a male duck - the one with the poof on the head in the picture. He (we hope it is a he) is a crested duck. Wikipedia says this is a birth defect caused by an imperfectly sealed skull. Bred to normal ducks, the babies should be OK.

K*Joi Blog Freebie

2009-09-29T08:44:00.003-05:00

My turn at the K*Joi blog freebie - I have developed a fall word art and a few extra papers to go with it. No, I haven't finished the rest of the kit. The plan is to have a mini-kit for each season. Look for it in my store later in October. Also in October, the K*Joi Newletter will be featuring a freebie by me. Make sure you are signed up. For the first few weeks, I will be featuring my Game Night kit, it will be on sale for the month of October as well.

Nothing like last minute: I did submit the kit several hours before the kit is due, but I did have difficulty in making of this kit. First, I don't like pink. I do, however, love the final result and have some "leftovers" for my blog readers in the next few days.
The kit has 8 unique papers and 12 unique elements including: 1 frame cluster, 4 additional frames, notepad and arrow for journaling, word art, "rain", bracket and bracket mat, and shoestring ribbon.

Misty Morning

2009-09-07T12:45:00.003-05:00

I woke up this morning to a heavy fog, couldn't even see the end of the driveway. This is the type of morning I was thinking of when I wrote the description for my kit that I submitted to the SASy Lady Contest.

Have you ever been up early when you can't see far because of a thick fog and all the grass and flowers are wet. This mini-kit revives that misty morning feel.

So scroll down a few to preview my kit or go to my SAS gallery to download. You must be a member, you can register first, then vote for Misty Morning by KatLen Kreations (16th on the list).

SAS Designer Contest round 1

2009-09-04T10:42:00.003-05:00

I am deep into another designer contest, this time at Stone Accent Studios. The organizers gave us a color swatch and asked for a mini-kit (there are more than 60 contestants!). At first, I didn't like the colors, but I really like how this and others have turned out. Mine is free for download but you have to go through SAS and be a member at that site. More info later about the voting which starts on the 6th.

Blog Train a'coming

2009-09-01T16:20:00.002-05:00

Our favorite lizard and skunk has conjoured up a blog train featuring K*Joi artists. I created a little page to test out my kit and decided to give it to you as a quick page. Download The train takes off Sept 5th.

In the mean time, the first Designer Challenge has been posted at SAS. I will preview the kit as it develops.

Farm News Friday

2009-08-28T20:08:00.003-05:00

Sorry I missed last week - went on a campout with family and church. OK - we didn't camp, but we did go canoeing and eat dinner outside which was cooked over a fire.
On the home front, no more floor plans and meetings about a new house. The parents will be moving into the little existing one. We spent most of this week moving stuff from one room to another and shuffling boxes.
With the animals, all the babies are growing up so fast. The guineas are looking more like the adults by the week. This photo shows the adult in the back with a few adolescents. 12 of the 26 are still here - we gave 7 to a neighbor. Good odds for guineas. I think I have seen no more than 20 grasshoppers all season.

We let the peacock out and the two peafowl are hanging together most of the time. He even spread his tail feathers once at feeding time. His tail is not impressive at this time. But in spring, his tail feathers should be in full bloom.
Everyone else is doing fine. Snow, the new pup, is being a pup and not hanging with the goats like she should. We borrowed some Dog Whisperer DVDs from the library. Got his point rather quickly, but the quirky dogs are fun to watch.

Round Two

2009-08-13T11:22:00.003-05:00

Finished my contribution to week 2 of the Brownie Scraps Survivor contest. Spent a lot of time comparing extracting methods.

The bad news: the goat we bought as a companion to the buck died. He has been looking sickly for a while. One to many blows to gut, I think.
Good news: We were finally able to find a peacock within our price range and driving distance. Our pea hen has been hovering around the isolation cage all week. We finally let him out and the two are getting along just great.
Baby sat some young boys this week and let them have the camera for a bit. Got some really wonderful photos - after sorting through a whole bunch. See my weekly daily double at Digitals.
