All I can say is it's a good thing I had these blog hop pieces done a couple weeks ago. I am at the tail end of my first vacation of the summer, and I have not had much time to design while I've been away. As it is, I am later posting this tonight than I had intended (since my intentions included pre-loading this post, I'd say I'm a little off!).<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://foosamoon.blogspot.com/2012/06/ahhh-scrap-blog-and-facebook-hop.html" target="_blank">Ahhh Scrap blog and Facebook hop</a> will continue for a short time yet, before all the pieces will be bundled up and sold in the store. Until then, you can find the hop list in this post.<br />
<br />
Today's hop is full of fun summer sun!<br />
<br />
If you are traveling here via the sumer blog hop, you have arrived from <a href="http://moniquehelfrichdesign.blogspot.nl/">http://moniquehelfrichdesign.blogspot.nl</a>. Thank you for visiting.<br />

Welcome to the Ahhh Scrap Design team blog hop for July! This month we decided to offer our store collab as a blog and Facebook hop before putting it for sale in the store.<br />

Here it has been almost 3 weeks since a post at this poor blog, but that doesn't mean nothing has been going on at Foosa Moon! Summer is in full swing here, which means my design time competes with my kids, and unfortunately for FMC it usually loses. <br />
<br />
Three weeks is a long time to play catch up on, but I'm going to do my best!<br />
<br />
First up is the announcement that I have opened a second shop at Funky Playground Designs.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I am slowly re-releasing kits over there, a couple a week until they are all moved over. AND to celebrate the new move, BOTH my stores are on sale until June 30.<br />
<br />
Next up, I had a new release along with my store opening. <br />

Old Glory reminds me of the 4th of July celebrations I grew up with. It wasn't so much about the fireworks as it was the parade, street fair, and family time. It is available at <a href="http://ahhhscrap.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=101&zenid=74b542cb2bdb6f330f9f111135d459a5">AhhhScrap.com</a> and <a href="http://funkyplaygrounddesigns.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=179">funkyplaygrounddesigns.com</a>.<br />
<br />
As part of my grand opening at FPD, I re-released Lemonade Stand and Umbrella Party, so those are both available at <a href="http://funkyplaygrounddesigns.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=179">Funky Playground</a> now.<br />
<br />
Lots coming up in the next couple weeks too! More new releases, more re-releases at FPD, a couple of blog hops, and who knows what else! Until then! :)<br />

Some new patterned papers and extra elements, and I am in love with this kit all over again. I had finished it up just before heading out on a camping trip last week, and couldn't wait to share it once it was finished.<br />
<br />
I haven't had a chance to scrap with the new pieces yet, but here is a page I made last year, as well as some pages made by my friend, Jen. :)<br />

I have a <a href="http://ahhhscrap.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=49_212&products_id=4550" target="_blank">new release</a> 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!). <br />

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! <br />
<br />
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. <br />

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! <br />

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. <br />

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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
There is also a new collection hitting <a href="http://bit.ly/nt5JJk" target="_blank">my AhhhScrap store</a> 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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! <br />

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.Rachel Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10852918412328873124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242101128392223991.post-14312865105378358312012-03-28T21:02:00.001-07:002012-04-12T19:44:47.193-07:00AODD2 Blog Hop Freebie<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjYsjV2vwwOeZNIlWa6fHOuXXmA4ipVKmM-MikylaGPD9T77XJIJ_vYd-fGK1UX8gyO0u_V9s-xbXTtjophJvfv4_V-Iw4p-NN8Bofaq-JjwocuDak5_HTPF862tS547IIDydyhwgCF7g/s1600/AoDD2_blog_hop_ad_ea_banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="85" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjYsjV2vwwOeZNIlWa6fHOuXXmA4ipVKmM-MikylaGPD9T77XJIJ_vYd-fGK1UX8gyO0u_V9s-xbXTtjophJvfv4_V-Iw4p-NN8Bofaq-JjwocuDak5_HTPF862tS547IIDydyhwgCF7g/s320/AoDD2_blog_hop_ad_ea_banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />

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><br />
<br />
I also am getting ready to change out my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FoosaMoonCreations/app_14167664298" target="_blank">Facebook Freebie</a>, so if you haven't snagged that, make sure to head over to Facebook and like <a href="http://www.facebook.com/FoosaMoonCreations" target="_blank">Foosa Moon Creations</a>.

</tbody></table>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!Rachel Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10852918412328873124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242101128392223991.post-38448229945945153532012-03-22T19:55:00.000-07:002012-03-22T19:55:18.324-07:00Haiku GardenThe weather here has decided to start looking like Spring again, just in time for the 2nd release of my Haiku Collection.<br />

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)!<br />
<br />
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! <br />

</tbody></table>I wish the weather we had last week would have stuck around, but it is a little early here in Colorado to really truly feel like Spring. (Though a little rain wouldn't hurt at all!)<br />
<br />
Haiku Garden will be arriving on March 23, and Haiku Pond will be revealed on March 26. <br />
<br />
Also, if you haven't grabbed the current Facebook Freebie, hop over to the Foosa Moon facebook page and snag it before it's gone. I have a new freebie I will be posting that coordinates with the Haiku Collection!<br />

It has been a beautiful week here in Colorado, making it hard to focus at the computer, but I am very excited for some of the upcoming projects I've been working on. What's coming up, you ask? Well, next month's collab was due today, I have a new collection in QC at the time of this posting, AND I'm prepping for a blog hop with my classmates from Art of Digital Design 2.<br />

I am so horrible when it comes to remembering dates far in advance. So it was with a chuckle that I realized I released the first half of For the Love of Books the day before Dr. Seuss's birthday. I wish I could say I had planned that, but no, it was purely coincidence. <br />
<br />
We celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday at my house by going out to buy a new copy of one of my favorite Seuss books: Fox in Socks. I know we used to have a copy of it when my daughter was little and we subscribed to a book of the month type club, but it's either packed in a box in the basement, or it is long gone. We also picked up Oh the Thinks You Can Think. I love Dr Seuss rhymes, both for their silliness, and the way they teach fun with language. I credit Dr. Seuss (and my husband's sense of humor) for teaching our daughter how to pay with words, and shout out "That's alliteration!" after hearing "push play" at a friend's birthday party at the age of 4. <br />

</a></div>In my house, there are always at least 3 books floating around my living room. This is in addition to the 100s upstairs in the bookshelves, and those stored in electronic form in my Kindle. We make weekly trips to the library, where my daughter brings home anywhere from 3 to 6 books, which only last her the week in between trips. My 2 year old is often found "reading" over one of our shoulders, or flipping through his own board books, or listening to audio books as he falls asleep. With that in mind, I created For the Love of Books. <br />

Because this pack was inspired by real life events in my house, I have a sample to share with each release day!<br />

Watch for my next releases coming later this week! I'll be rolling out my next collection over a couple days -- it turned in to a pretty big set. <br />
<br />
Remember to grab my Facebook freebie before it's gone. I'll be changing it up when my new release hits the store.<br />

I spent a weekend inSalt Lake City at a workshop taught by Carina Gardner. It was a fantastic experience, learning a little more about Illustrator, paper textures and patterns, and lots of fun! I haven't taken a trip without my kids since a few months before my youngest was born, so it's been over 2 years since I had a weekend to myself. It was a very productive weekend, both in terms of knowledge gained and products completed. <br />
<br />
One of the projects I finished that weekend was the new kit that went in to <a href="http://bit.ly/uxhzpm" target="_blank">my store</a> last night.<br />

Love Letter is a kit that commemorates any love in your life. Be it your significant other, a child, a dear friend, or a furry friend. Shoot, I might even go so far as to say my coffee maker would look good on a page. Or maybe that's just too many late nights in a row?<br />
<br />
I put together this desktop background with the kit. I try to make a new desktop every month to send to my mom. I'm better at it some months than others. :)<br />

</tbody></table>Each template has room for 31 photos, and are easily adapted for shorter months. I can't wait to get one finished!<br />
<br />
My intention was to upload my photos every couple of days and just plop them into the template, so that at the end of the month, everything was done! Fast forward to today... I have only taken photos for 4 of the 9 days. Oh well. I'll try again, maybe for a one month project. But my loss is your gain, as I have put the templates I prepared into my store. Plans are in the works for some weekly templates also, look for those in the next week or so!Rachel Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10852918412328873124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242101128392223991.post-91451628825237389922012-01-04T13:05:00.000-08:002012-01-04T13:05:10.424-08:00Winter Song Kit -- New Release!After taking a month off for the holidays, I am back with a new release for the new year! I enjoyed my time off, playing with my kids, celebrating my daughter's 10th birthday, and of course Christmas and New Years. Unfortunately my husband had to work both holidays (though he was able to take a personal day to be home on Christmas Day), so we made the most of the stay-cation.<br />
<br />
My new kit is called Winter Song. Music has always been a big part of my life, whether performing or listening. This kit celebrates music in the tones of the season. Winter in Colorado often means gray skies, snow, and crisp air. Normally. Today is a bright sunny 60 degree day, so we'll just pretend! <br />

One of the things I love about the switch to digital is the ability to use templates. A second thing I love about digital is the ability to use VERY large photos on my pages.

I was part of the design team that worked throughout the month of November to supply the sample challenge layouts and had so much fun in the process! <br />
<br />
The logbook has gone through a few changes this year, most notably: it is now TWO books! Yes, you can now purchase the <a href="http://www.logyourmemory.com/affiliate-program/idevaffiliate.php?id=154_16_3_24" target="_blank">2012 Memory Logbook</a> and the <a href="http://www.logyourmemory.com/affiliate-program/idevaffiliate.php?id=154_15_3_26" target="_blank">Weekly Challenges</a> separately, or bundle them for additional savings. I know I will be purchasing the combo version, as it's a great tool.<br />

The shopping, the sales, the chats, the games, the freebies...everything about DSD is great! I started my shopping with a little stop today (thought "little" is relative). My sale total may not have been large, but I sure did have a lot to download! I have ideas for my Christmas offerings stewing in my head...just have to sit down with some paper and make some sketches! This was a great time to stock up on designing needs! I'll be doing my personal shopping tomorrow, checking out MANY stores, hopefully not buying everything in sight!<br />
<br />
Enjoy the sales! Anyone want to share what they've found for the weekend?Rachel Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10852918412328873124noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242101128392223991.post-9877155693229973612011-11-03T15:16:00.000-07:002011-11-03T15:16:22.781-07:00Download LinksI've taken down the links to all the design challenge minis and the Kimono blog hop from the Spring, but have left <a href="http://foosamoon.blogspot.com/2011/10/bats-cats-hats.html" target="_blank">Bats, Cats, & Hats</a> for now. Links to BC&H will expire soon though, so snag it if you haven't already. Also be watching my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Foosa-Moon-Creations/133225430091537" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> and this blog for more news. I have a few things I've been working on that will be posted soon! <br />

In the last month, I haven't been very productive in my designing, but I do have something new for you today! We are gearing up for Halloween in my house. The kids are talking up their costumes (at least the one that talks...), and are getting excited for the night of treats. In honor of Halloween, I put together this little kit and want to give it away as a freebie! <br />

On a related note, I will be pulling down some of my freebie links from this summer. Most of them were created for design challenges, and since the challenges are long over it's time to pull them down. So get 'em while they're still available!Rachel Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10852918412328873124noreply@blogger.com9
