So, look for posts from all these girls in the coming days – we have all SORTS of fun stuff planned.  Freebies, tutorials, product spotlights, customer spotlights, everything but the kitchen sink!  And really, who would want a kitchen sink on a blog anyway.

Just to prove I wasn’t lying about the freebies, I have one today!  It’s a desktop for Februrary using one of my favorite Eva kits of all time, Carly’s Secret Crush. Is it perfect for February, or what?

Because I was bored today, I made it in SIX sizes. Surely you’ll find one that suits you. :) Included are: 800×600, 1024×768, 1200×800, 1280×1024, 1440×900 and 1680×1024. Click it to download, and all the sizes will be inside.

Enjoy! Don’t forget to add us to your blog reader, or stop by every day to see what we are up to!

Creative Inspiration: Getting Fresh

Hola Blog Readers!  I have a new kit coming to Sweet Shoppe Designs this coming Saturday, January 31st, called Getting Fresh.  I thought I would show off some of the layouts that my creative team has made with this kit.  I am so lucky to have such an awesome and dedicated team!  The alpha you see in the majority of the layouts is included with the kit, but I am also going to be offering it separately for those of you that love to buy alphas.

No desktop wallpaper for January… but check out this cool site!

Because of the craziness of the holiday season I was unable to make a freebie desktop wallpaper for January, but don’t dismay… I have found the coolest site that will make a desktop calendar wallpaper for you from any photograph you have.  You choose the size for your monitor’s resolution, upload your photo, and it automatically crops it to fit.  You can even choose where you want the small square calendar to be on your wallpaper.  I have personally tried it and LOVE it!   I was able to make a few different ones very quickly and easily.  I even made one with a photo of me for my hubby who is in Iraq.

Here is the link for you:

VERY Cool… check it out!

I am in the process of finishing up a new kit that will be available this coming Saturday (January 10, 2009) at Sweet Shoppe Designs.  Keep an eye on the blog for layouts from my awesome creative team.
