CT Call Is CLOSED Thanks All

Thank you to all who applied and Please no more applications LOL. It doesn't rain but it pours. I thought I wasn't going to get anyone applying for about a week and then I got floods of applications, so if I didn't get back to you please understand that I may have missed one or two of the applications. I don't think I did but you never know.

Our Fifth and Final Member is Gail Sullivan. I don't have a picture of Gail yet, so she is our mystery Member till I do get one LOL. Gail is on several CT's and is a CT for the store at Digital Candy. She also hails from New York!!

Welcome to our happy (so far LOL) Team. Can't wait to see your layouts!

I'll be back later today with news about a sale at Treasures to Scrap. Till then have a wonderful day, whatever day it is where you live.
Hugs
Tracy
ps off to see if I can find a Gail photo LOL, won't be happy till I do hee hee!

Welcome the Ambowife Designs CT Members

I want to welcome my first Creative Team onboard. I hope being part of the team will be a lot of fun for us all. If you click on the name of each CT member you will be taken to their blog.
Doreen hales from Tennessee and is a Kitty Cat collector, LOL, visit her blog to meet her family and read about her life in and out of digiscrapping.
As you are all probably aware, I have known Doreen for as long as I have been doing digiscrapping. We are on Terrell Sanzone's Creative Team together and are the best of friends. Doreen was first to put her hand up for a CT position when I made the leap into design and selling at a Store. mwah!! Thanks Hun. And did I mention she is a fabulous Scrapper!

Elodie is an awesome scrapper too, and is from France. She is on a few CT's and so, I am so lucky to have had her join mine. Her Blog is in french but if you use a translator you will find it an interesting place to visit and view her awesome layouts!! Thanks for joining in the fun Elodie! Hugs Sweetie!!

Christelle is from South Africa and so a bit closer to me than the rest of my team geographically. But that's not all we have in common, she loves Brad Pitt, so do I just ask my Husband LOL. And her favourite book is River God by Wilbur Smith, I think I read that book a hundred times it is sooo good. Christelle is on a few CT's too so I am lucky again to have another awesome scrapper join my Team. Thanks Hun!!

And Dawne from near Boise Idaho is my 4th Awesome Creative Team Member. Dawne has branched out from being mainly at one site and is in the process of updating her new blog, so have a little patience while the dust flies on her new site. I am so pleased Dawne joined our happy crew and can't wait to see what fabulous layouts she does with my Modest kits. Welcome Dawne, can't wait to see your new blog!! Thanks Sweetie!!
Welcome Girls and Thank you So Much for creating my Creative Team, you all rawk!!!
Hugs
Tracy :)

I Need Help LOL

Okay so it is that time when I really can't do it all on my own LOL. I am having a CT Call, so any of you who like my kits and would like to get them free in exchange for some layout posts read on....


But be quick as I am only in need of two for now, and this will be taken down as soon as I have chosen two kind Digi-Scrappers to help me out.

Onto other things, we had two embryos transfered to the safety of my womb today. One was at 7 cell stage and the other was 8 cells, which is about twice as advanced as any we have had before. So still crossing everything for another two weeks. Our other three embryos were not suitable to freeze according to the lab so we are mourning their loss a bit.

Okay, well off to do a little blog surfing before bed.

Look at this

I did this layout with Doreen's New Freebie Kit "Autumn" You may know Doreen better by her username Beachnut999. Well she is getting on the designing train with us and has done a kit. It has 14 papers and 13 elements in a gorgeous fall paletter. If you want her freebie just run over to her blog at http://beachnut . Doreen's blog is always a good read too so make a cuppa and settle in at her place for a while.



Okay I also did this layout with my Bearly Remember kit of Our Newlyweds Carina and James.


I also got the great news that my cousin Allison is finally engaged to her partner Jeremy whom she has been with for 8 years. Woo Hoo Congratulations you two!!
Oh I nearly forgot my new kit LOL. Here is the layout I did of Gabriella with my new kit Mandarin Dream available in my TTS Store soon.

Okay so off to do some more designing and decide on dinner. Hubby just text me that he is on his way home so better get a shuffle on!!

Carina & James got Married Yesterday

It was a lovely casual ceremony with their friends and family with a cocktail party and dancing afterwards.


Here are some pics. Carina is a workmate of Michael's and a lovely person. James is a lucky man.

This is about the best shot we got of the Happy Couple, there was light behind them as they were wed against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour.Exchanging Rings, I got around the other side to get these shots.

Closer in.
The back of that gorgeous dress, certainly looks fabulous, you can tell she's a fitness fanatic LOL


And here is one Carly took of us. Quite a nice shot of me and Hubby together. And we are both smiling which is rare LOL.
Okay so we had a great time and so did all the guests, The celebrant was excellent and put everyone at ease, and made it all fun. He also MC'd some of the reception so it was all fun and unique.

Congratulations James and Carina and enjoy your Honeymoon.

Okay gotta go get some housework and washing done.
Have a great Sunday all

New Release Kit Mandarin Dream


Here's a preview of my latest kit MANDARIN DREAM. Let me know what you think LOL.

I just love these colours
Okay so onto some news. It's been a big week for me with all this uploading of kits to my new store at TTS and we are busy in our private lives too lately.
Yesterday was a sad day for me, it was the 5th Anniversary of my Dad's death and I spent all day thinking of all the things we would have done and talked about over those lost years. My Mum seemed okay but I don't think we will ever be the same again no matter how many years pass. She is up with family in Queensland so I guess maybe being away somewhere else with a new start may make some difference to this year for her. I have had a bad week with Chris having troubles and cutting his foot at work and just generally missing his family. I feel so helpless and useless to him being so far away but I had a good talk with him and he does sound better within himself so that did make me feel better about it all too.
My IVF is coming to a head too with me going into hospital on Wednesday 15th for my egg retrieval. We have had an extra drug (injection) to take this time too, a human growth hormone, so I am all over the place emotionally with all these drugs in my system. 4 needles every night and with Michael on nights I have had to do them myself yesterday and tonight. Even worse, we are going to a wedding tomorrow and will have to find somewhere to do it at that argh!! I don't want us to have to leave just because I need to shoot up LOL.
Okay well that's about it for now. I might have a freebie up for you later today. For now I have to go see what I'll cook Michael for his dinner before he heads off to work again.
Have a great day

Freebies are finished

Just to let everyone know that now that the contest is over the freebies are now taken down from 4shared and will be uploaded to my store at TTS. You can still download the Fallen Heroes kit though. I will keep that one free since it was for memorials to soldiers.
Thanks for all the support and I hope you enjoyed the month of fun here on my blog. I certainly did. Sorry to those who may have missed out but there will still be freebies offered for future designs so keep an eye out everyone!!
Have a great weekend

Hmmm Well that's interesting!!

I have jumped up to 91 votes today, I am only 17 votes away from being a contender. That would put me in 3rd place. So if you haven't voted yet, you have just over 3 hours to get registered at www.stoneaccentsstudio.com and then head to the voting page at this link
http://stoneaccentsstudioforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3422 and vote for A Charmed Life by Ambowife Designs. Wouldn't it be awesome to be a Sassy Lady Designer at the site I have been a member at from it's birth!!

Well I have been working on some stuff for the TTS Treasure Chest for November, that's scary isn't it, November!! It's really exciting working at a site. All such a new experience for me.

My freebies from the contest will be taken down at 6pm central time today, so if you want any of the freebies from the last month, get your rocket boots on and do it now. I will leave the Fallen Heroes one up as I don't think I should take that one down due to the theme of the kit and how many people it may bring a little joy to. But the rest will be going into my store at TTS and anywhere else I ever end up with a store at.

So, remember to vote if you haven't already. Thank you to all of you who have votes so far throughout the whole contest and I hope you have enjoyed this exciting month as much as I have.
Many Hugs
Tracy

MY NEW STORE!!! Argh!!

Yes that's right, I am announcing my big news. Tracy over at TTS treasurestoscrap.com saw my blog and freebies during this past month with the designer contest and all and she has offered me a designer position with them. So I may not make it at SAS but I was asked to join TTS, so I am grabbing it with both hands and I won't let go LOL.
I have decided to let it go with regards to the contest and accept the fact that the kits that are getting more votes than mine are better than mine, so I am okay with it all. You can still vote for me if you want though LOL.
So onto bigger and better things with TTS and still doing my CTing for TerrellS and Shannon. I will strive to grow as a designer and I hope that you will all support me in my new life as a
Working Designer. I can't believe I just typed that, LOL. I am a WORKING DESIGNER lol. That sounds so good doesn't it!!
Okay so on with the festivities.
I will let you all know when MY STORE is up and where you can post any layouts you may do with any of my designs.

Wah! I'm not going too well in the vote

I know it is because I am not as great at this as the girls in the lead. There are some truly awesome kits this week and I am not going as well as I had hoped. I don't know if it is just that they have a lot of family and friends voting and I only have you guys and my hubby to vote for me LOL. So if you haven't voted yet register here and get your vote in here. voting ends at 3am friday here in australian time and 12 noon thursday US time.

Cush464 thanks hun for letting me know my first elements zip file for Lazy Sundays at 4shared wasn't working, I am updating that link now and it should be working in a few hours. I wish everyone who found a dead link would let me know, it's the only way I would know, after all it was working for over 290 downloads.

Okay I am off to make some stuff to post as freebies in about a few hours from now so keep your eyes peeled LOL. This will be the last of the freebies people and on Friday night, (thursday US time) all of the links will be removed so I have stuff to put in my store. Even if it won't be at SAS!!
Many Hugs and kisses for the support you have shown or are going to by voting.
