A new kit...

A new kit...

Howdy peeps!

Hope everyone is doing well. I was so busy getting my new kit into the store this weekend that... duh... I failed to remember to post on my blog about it. Well, that should be rectified right about now. This is a re-do of my portion of the Spring ThingZ mega kit from last year. I really liked the colors of the kit and some of my elements, but I basically deconstructed and re-did most of the papers. I re-did a number of the elements as well. Added some other bits and pieces from some other retired kits, and voila... "Laughter" was born. Here's a preview:

And a better peek at the papers:

Hope you dig it. I may actually have a little sale on it later this week -- still deciding. It's available at both ScrapbookGraphics and Altered Art Chicks!

I still seem to be on a bit of a post-concert high from my Crowded House show last week. I still have three more shows I'm going to on this tour, so I'm a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of seeing them three more times in the next few weeks. The first show is coming up in a week and a half. Ah, the waiting is torture. Good torture. To get through it, I have immersed myself in Crowded House and Neil Finn music like crazy the past few days. I have a playlist called "Neil Goodness" that I just keep cycling through on my computer as I sit here and work. And it never grows old. I never get tired of it. Instead, it fills me up and makes me happy. Isn't it so awesome that music can do that for us?

I also am feeling the urge to review the new record on here, which I will do soon (sometime this week). I don't usually review stuff on here... I spend my days trying to get other people to do that for my clients, so maybe that's why I've never been compelled to do it myself. I may actually start. Why not, right? Heaven only knows I spend enough time writing about music in my day-to-day stuff for my job (artist bios, press releases, so many emails to writers and editors). So I may get crazy and actually do a review or two on here. I know I chat about music and often talk about shows I've gone to. But never to the point that I'm playing music journalist (although my magazine journalism college degree certainly means I prepared for such a thing... I just happened to get into the other side, the PR side).

Ok, enough babbling for one day. Thanks for the sweet comments on the redecorating I did. It was time for a new look. Glad you are digging it as much as I do.

Later, taters!

This is so fun, Krista! I love that you took your part of the kit and made it even more "you". You have such a distinctive style. Just fabulous!

Your "Laughter" kit looks absolutely fabulous! All kinds of beautiful colors, very child-like and yet not the bold in-your-face primaries typical of childhood kits.
