News!
What a week! Computer died. iPod died. Modem for Internet died so couldn’t access Internet on hubby’s computer - sigh! None the less, I am back up. So, I will be back with the ADS Blog Train freebie by Nov 2nd - It’ll take awhile because I’m having to setup FTP protocols again and get it transferred to this computer from my design computer that has no Internet and then get it all set-up - so sorry! I’ll make it worth your wait; so please be patient and return to collect this part of the blog train before the end of the month!
Thanks! Oh! Meanwhile….
I’ll give you a heads up on a brand new freebie that’s available at K-Joi if you sign up as a member of their forum! New members get this automatically starting today (It’s a new welcome kit - not the same one they offered before today) when they sign up in the forum and post in the correct thread.

So, if you haven’t joined the K-Joi forum yet, do that now! CLICK HERE!
So, what if you want this gorgeous kit but you are already a member at K-Joi? Send me a PM via the K-Joi Forum Messaging system and request it - that’s all you have to do! My user name in the forum is: ”by Gods design” - minus the quotes of course!
Also, there is an “unannounced” challenge involved with this kit as well. Complete and post a layout using this kit and post it in the K-Joi gallery then PM me with the link to your layout in the gallery. I will send you a second coordinating kit that goes with the free welcome kit just for participating and taking time to share the layout(s) you do using this kit!
AND there is another freebie I want to tell you about. It’s a quick page made from my Fabulous Fall kit - and it’s available HERE at Michelle’s blog!
So, be sure to grab that and leave her some love - she does such a great job with these!
Okay - that’s enough rambling for now! I’ve got to go get everything set up so I can get the ADS After Dusk freebie posted for you!
Thanks for your patience!
Happy National Digital Scrapbooking Day!

I am so excited to be presenting to you my newest kit, Fabulous Fall! Keep an eye out - there are a couple of add-ons in the works already for this kit! (Halloween & Thanksgiving Add-Ons!)
Readers! Meet Fabulous Fall!

Fabulous Fall
Before I go on, be sure to check out Strictly Reveal - two reveals for Ashalee & Sweet are up! They never seem to disappoint!
I actually got a layout done with this kit already - unusual for me, I know!

My entire store at KJoi is on sale through the weekend for 25% off including the new kit! So, be sure to check that out!
You can grab the Fabulous Fall kit HERE!
How would you like a Quick Page I did using this layout?

Transforming Love
Before I do anything else, I have to bring your attention to Strictly Reveal. I will try to remember to bring SR to spotlight more often because we are revealing some amazing bags over there. Leaonna revealed one last night that is just beautiful! If you like Vintage stuff - this grab bag is a must have! I revealed two bags on Friday from Sir ScrapAlot - ya gotta love a guy with the courage to jump in with design among all the estrogen in the pool! lol! He has some really cute and off-beat stuff in his design arsenal! And these grab bags were true to his style! I kept laughing doing one reveal because of his “Sugar Skulls.” When designing a halloween kit I was trying to figure out how to soften up a skull image - lol. Leave it to SSA to do just that!
Due to health concerns and time restraints and needs of my family, I have made the decision to back off of my obligations with design - there were just too many given my health issues and I couldn’t get any designing for me done because I was too busy with schedules and collabs, etc for all the stores. So, you will find my kit designs at KJoi and quick pages, templates, etc at BusyScrappin. I miss doing DigiTreats - so I hope to get some of those done in the next couple of months! I haven’t even had time to scrap! Now, there’s a major kink in things! lol!
I want to say a special thanks to “Elizabeth/PillowGirl” of My Scrap Shop & Casey/Pretty Scrappy. Their inspiration and support through the short time I was able to be with their stores will be with me for a long time. They were certainly disappointed that I had to leave; but supportive and understanding of decisions I had to make. Thanks ladies!
I do have a new CT and so I will be highlighting them and their work with my designs as well. I have a group of 4 gals (I have room for more if you’re interested, please email me! see my sidebar for address) that have really just picked up and ran with their roles as CT. I am so blessed to have them on my team.
Michelle brings the freebie today! She has done a layout background for you -
you can pick it up at her blog HERE.
Don’t forget to leave her some love! Her layout featured on her blog is so appropriate for what I’ve been dealing with - the legacy we want to leave to honor God, for our children and those who come behind us…
I just don’t want my legacy to be ill and highly stressed designer who didn’t have much left to be a mom. So, I am going to be a Christian wife & mom and let those moments lead to inspiration to design with what’s left after that. I hope that you, in return, can be blessed by that!

I have created a set of styles - CU OK - that coordinate with the Transforming Love series. These are glitters with a pearl-esque hue to them - they turned out quite beautiful. They are brand new to my store at KJoi.
You can find them in KJoi here!
Remember the layout in my previous post that I showed you that L.K. (BusyScrappin) did? Well, she was kind enough to put together a QuickPage for you using that layout!
You can grab that QUICK PAGE FREEBIE BY CLICKING THE IMAGE BELOW for an instant, no-wait download - so be sure to leave some love in comments, will ya?

I think that’s it for now - I am suffering from a painful infection right now - but as long as I don’t move, I’m good. So, that makes it easy for me to sit down and get work done - means more goodies for you on the blog and in stores! woohoo! I have an exciting goodie planned for you on Halloween Day for a trick or treat blog train - so you will want to be sure and check back for that. And I’ll have some new stuff out in coming days and you know that normally means more goodies for you!
So, stay tuned!

Remember the sampler for this kit is in the RAKScraps October Newsletter! It has two exclusive products not available in this kit!
The layouts above were created by Dawn and Leaonna (BusyScrappin), respectively! It just goes to show how you can two totally different looks using the same kit! Well, I finally finished this beautiful kit just in time for KJoi’s Designer Announcement! I think this is my favorite kit yet! So if you like what you see, you can pick it up at KJoi!
You can check it out here at KJoi!
And my CT member Dawn has a freebie QP up on her blog that she did for you using this kit!
So, go grab it HERE!

Recognize these?
Well, they were my entries into the KJoi designer contest! They earned me a designer spot in KJoi! This is important for my regular customers because KJoi will be the only place to find my digital scrapbooking kits! I will have some exclusive stuff at BusyScrappin as well - but nothing in either store will be competing with another store. So, I’m celebrating by giving you a set of brackets I used for Week 2 (see Week 2 Preview above - it’s the bright colors with the brackets and alpha, word art) - since I had so many comments about the brackets -here’s a set for you!
