Umbrella Party! *New Release*

I have a new release today (and my store is still on sale)! I have to say, even though I have been stewing on this idea for a couple weeks, it took me longer than I thought to put this kit together. Something about being in a summer mood and having snow fall made it difficult to focus on this project for longer than a day or two at a time (and when I can only work for a couple hours a day, that means a long time in process!).

Umbrella Party Kit available at ahhhscrap.com

Now that it's finished, I love it.  The bright colors, the umbrellas, all the sand, makes me wish summer really was here.  Our Mother's Day here in CO was cloudy and rather gloomy looking outside.  But when I talked to my mom in Washington, she said it was supposed to be sunny and upwards of 80 degrees!  Wow!

I also took some time to scrap with this kit while I was trying to decide if the kit was finished.  Both pieces of word art in the kit actually came out of the sample pages that I made.

Ok, so that second picture isn't really taken anywhere near surf or sand, but I figured if I cropped the photo close, no one would know unless I spilled the beans!

And now (while my son is busy making a mess in the kitchen) I'm heading to order new coffee...I used the last of my favorite flavor today!

May 2012 Blog Train - Royal Wedding

Welcome to everyone finding this blog through the Blog Train.

If you are following the blog train, you've probably come from ScrapinWright.  You are now at Foosa Moon Creations, and the next stop is Mariscrap.  If you get lost along the way, check back at the Blog Train blog. Before you head off though, be sure to grab my contribution below and check out what's new with Foosa Moon. Also, because there are designers from so many different time zones, please be patient if not all blogs are up and running at the same time.

Now that it's May, I've got a sale going on in my store.  Everything is 30% off for the entire month.

And I've got a new collection in the store tonight that matches the blog train colors.  This is a color scheme that's been on my list of things to do for some time, so I figured this blog train was a good time to get it done.

Ever After Full Collection

This collection contains 15 papers, 35 elements, and 2 alphas.  Each pack in the preview above is also available individually in my store (papers, tags and flags, stickers and words, and flora).

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web.  Please also check out my store and Facebook (where you'll find a fan freebie waiting).

Upcoming for Foosa Moon

After a week of most of my family being sick, having 2 mortgage signings (finally re-fi'd!! Yay!!!), and my husband working the night shift (and so sleeping all day), I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and feeling a little better.

I wanted to pop in here on this, my neglected blog, to let you know about some of the things coming on for Foosa Moon during the next week.

I will have a post on Tuesday with a new blog freebie, as part of the Blog Train Blog.  This freebie will be available for free on the blog for the month of May.

There is also a new collection hitting my AhhhScrap store on Tuesday that coordinates with the blog freebie. I loved the color palette so much that I had to keep working with it once I was done with my blog train contribution.

I am also going to be keeping my store on sale for the entire month of May...not just the one weekend of NSD.  (Though watch for specials on NSD weekend!)  Sale starts Tuesday, May 1 and runs until Thursday, May 31.

(Oh, and want a sneak peak of the blog train and collection?  This ad was made with pieces from the collection and the blog train freebie!)

Now I'm off to catch up on more sleep before jumping back into the fray tomorrow morning! :)

Bloom & Grow

I was on a role when making the mini for the blog hop last month, and ended up with enough material for a whole kit.  So this month, into my store it goes!  The sun has continued to shine (mostly -- my daughter did have a snow day the week after Spring Break) here in Colorado, though I wouldn't be surprised if we had another snow storm...it is only mid-April afterall! 

Bloom and Grow Kit

The full Bloom & Grow kit has 18 papers and 23 elements. 

I haven't found as much time to work in the last few weeks as I normally do, so feel like I'm a little behind where I'd like to be.  Hoping I'll be able get ahead of myself again in the next couple weeks! Eight weeks until summer vacation...and this is the first year I'm thinking I could extend the school year a couple weeks...I can expect my productivity to take a dive when both kids are home, unless I set up some kind of "mother's helper" situation with my oldest.

AODD2 Blog Hop Freebie

If you're visiting by way of the AODD2 Spring Blog Hop, welcome!  You just came from Elaine Anjos Designs, and are now at Foosa Moon Creations, and your next stop will be Jeanie's Designs. If you get lost along the way, a complete blog list is available at Anna Janise Designs.  (Please be aware that there are bloggers from all different time zones and locations, so if a stop is missing, please be patient!)

Yay! The day for the Art of Digital Design 2 blog hop is finally here! Class ended in November, but because of the holidays, we decided to push back our blog hop until things calmed down in the Spring. At least, that was the plan.

I don't know about you, but things never really seem calm around here! We just had family in town for a long weekend, and had a great time, and my daughter has 4 more days of Spring Break before we can really get back into our regular routine.

<Link has expired>

My portion of the blog hop contains 4 papers and 6 elements. I love how bright and cheery this color palette was, and loved working with flowers as it's been warming up around here.  Won't be long and the flowers will be outside my window, in addition to on my screen! This mini will be available as a freebie here on my blog until March 31, so grab it while it's available! <Mini is no longer available>

I also am getting ready to change out my Facebook Freebie, so if you haven't snagged that, make sure to head over to Facebook and like Foosa Moon Creations. For the sake of my sanity, let's say the current freebie will last until March 31.

Thanks for stopping by my little section of the internet! My shop is at AhhhScrap.com, you're at my blog, and I'm on Facebook too. I would love it if you looked around and let me know what you think!

The next stop on the blog hop is Jeanie's Designs.

Haiku Pond

The final piece of the Haiku collection is here!

Haiku Pond

The great Springtime, almost Summery, weather is still hanging around here...to the point where there are already wildfires burning not too far away. I turned the sprinklers on for the first time today, and have someone schedule to aerate the lawn later next week.  Lots of new growth on the bushes, and soon everything will be green again! I also still have company here, so can't spend too much time on the computer, but I knew I needed to get this kit posted up!

Haiku Garden

The weather here has decided to start looking like Spring again, just in time for the 2nd release of my Haiku Collection.

Haiku Garden

Haiku Garden contains the green that is starting to appear, as well as the butterflies that will make there appearance a little later in the season. Ok, butterflies won't really be here until the Summer...but play along with me, here!  This kit contains 2 solid papers, 6 patterned papers, 3 buttons, 3 tags, 2 photo corner sets, 1 word art in sticker and rub on format, and 2 alphas. These pieces are designed to stand alone, or coordinate with Haiku Blossom (and the third Haiku set coming out on Monday)!

I'm taking some time off again this weekend to spend time with family. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law are visiting from out of state, so we will be having lots of quality time while we can!  That being said, I will still be back in your inbox on Monday with the 3rd Haiku release.  When I started working with Haiku, Blossom was the set I worked first and thought would be my favorite.  In the end, the 3rd set is my favorite of the 3, if I'm going to play favorites!

See you Monday!
