Good morning everyone!!!  As I'm sure you noticed by the tweets and Facebook updates last night, I was finally able to get my newest CollectionZ listed!  I'm very excited!!  This is just a super-cute Summer CollectionZ, for the beach, backyard BBQ or family vacation.

Just a super fun kit to get those summer memories documented.  Find it on Etsy and Amazon.  Digital Version is here.

News from the Studio

Greetings all, fellow scrappers!  I hope this very wintery weather is not cooling off your desire to be creative!  Yikes, but it is cold out there!  I came home the other day to the furnace running and I still had windows open.  It is supposed to be warm by now, even here.  Hopefully in a week all will be right again.

I do have a new CollectionZ created, but have not gotten it photographed so that I can get it loaded in the shop.  A really fun summer CollectionZ.  I can't wait to get it out there on both the Etsy Shop and the Amazon Store, depending on which you like to use.

I've also been busy trying to get my new backup solution in place, a vacation down to FL with the flight team, schoolwork (yikes!), selling the house, soaping, yard work, scrapping, being a mom, volunteering at the church... oh my gosh how do people get this all done!  LOL  It is never a dull moment.

I hope life is going well in your part of the world, bring a cup of coffee sometime and I'd love to just sit down and chat with you for a minute.  or two, or sixty.

Have a scrappy day!

News from the Studio

Good morning!  Well, it has been an exciting couple of weeks around here.  I had just finished up my newest addition to the CollectionsZ family, when I lost my external hard drive where i store everything.  And stupidly had no backup.  Thanks to lots of hours, and my techie knowledge, I was able to get the information off of the drive and it is all good!  YEA!  But talk about majorly scary!  So look next week for that to be up on the shop.

So, the moral of the story is, yes it can happen to you, so PLEASE make some sort of archive of your precious pictures, layouts, data, etc.  You'll thank me later! ;)

Have a blessed day!

Card Share - Happy Birthday

Here's a couple of cute little birthday cards I made from some left over Kit & Kaboodle paper that I used on a LO.  You can find the Happy Birthday DotZ here.  I think they are just an uber-cute & fast way to turn any card into the card you need.  And the digital version here.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Update from the Studio

Oh, wow, well, I have been very busy!  I have been working on several things, just not sure how they are all going to come together yet....  But here is a sneak peak...

I think I know what to do with the BubbleZ, but the trees I just kept playing around with different things and Oh my it was so fun!  I ended up with just a bunch of random trees.  So if you have any ideas what I should do, I'm all ears!

I do also have 1 more PaperPackZ that I want to do. Just got distracted for a bit.  By trees.  The responses to the digital offerings have been amazing!  Thank you to everyone, both paper & digital, who have supported me over the years.  It leaves me speechless!

Have a great day everyone!

Card Share

Taking a break from my usual layout sharing to show off some cards.  I don't think any of these are repeats, but if they are I apologize.  As usual, they are all just scraps left over from other projects that I have done.  I have to tell you, it is a great way to keep utilizing your product, and really saves your wallet as you are not paying another $5 for an industrially-made card.  Don't have the time?  Then check Etsy, there are several crafters who sell there wares, including cards, that are simply divine!

All have Bazzill Basics and DCWV paper, I've only listed the extras below each...

Corner rounder punch & Gen-X Rub-ons

 Dymo tape, Sizzix letters and circle punch

 Bazzill Basics Chip Topper, Prima Flower, Jewel from Craft Store

Extra ribbon, small card from a bag (??) and Rub-ons (don't remember manufacturer)

Thanks so much for looking!

Update from the Studio

Good morning all!  Just wanted to let you know orders are still ramping up for Christmas, so please try to get them in as quickly as you can so that I can get them to the Post Office before I leave for holiday.

Those of you from Amazon, thank you so much for your support, this new stage is so exciting!  Etsy folk, you too are amazing, thank you for your continued support.

This has been your public service announcement, please go back to playing with paper and glue!

Studio Update

Good morning all!  This morning I got a bit sidetracked on trying to straighten out some Google+ Identity issues and then also corrected more listing issues on Amazon.  I'm still learning the ropes over there, but the orders are starting to come in, so that is super cool!  I appreciate your patience as I iron out the kinks.

I have also been hard at work getting more Etsy product available digitally.  I am very pleased with the success of that branch and am anxious to move to the next phase.

Hint, hint... it involves paper...

That's all you get, just a tease!

Have a great day!

News from the Studio!

Good afternoon everyone!  Just a quick update to let you know that I have not been creating much lately.  I've actually been working on getting digital copies of product made and product pages created for each.  Apparently when I first started, I was not so good at doing that part.  ;)  Luckily, it's going pretty fast.  I've also been hard at work getting the Amazon Store up and going.  It seems to be much more intensive than Etsy, so we'll see how I like it.  I do hope to get back into the swing of things, I did put up early this week Life Documented - Traditional CollectionZ and the Digital version that I had gotten done a while ago, and I do still have one more that I have not uploaded yet. It is a super-cute set really geared toward everyday moments.  Enjoy!

LO Share Paci Adventures

My younger son was completely infatuated with his paci - and always more than 1!  He went everywhere with him, they were like his best friends.  He always had to have a fistful to touch when he was sleeping plus the one in his mouth.  I think my favorite was how he would load them up in his truck and push them all around.

Supplies: I don't remember all of them, but,
chipboard heart, inked brown
slide holder cut in 2
shoestring
buttons (paper studio & jesse james)
letters from target dollar spot
Journal BlockZ - Day Notices 
Journal BlockZ - Notes
Journal BlockZ - Multicolor lined
WordZ - Home
Dymo Tape
Stickers - Pebbles, Inc.
Paper = DCWV

Thanks for looking!

Shop Update

Good morning everyone!  I just wanted to let you know that I have been hard at work getting digital versions of some of my older work available on the Etsy shop, be sure to come on over & check them out!  I include a ZIP of PNG and a separate of JPG for complete digital use, and then also a PDF that you can just print and cut yourself, if you are still a traditional/hybrid scrapper.  Enjoy!

Good to be Grampa Mini Album Share

Good morning everyone!  I hope you've not seen any negative effects from all the storms that have rolled through.  One of the counties here in Indiana received 9" of rain in one day.  That was pretty amazing.  Luckily I have not heard of any long-term damage so that is good news.

This was a fun little mini album I did for my dad with his "boys".  He's only got 3 grandchildren, all boys.

Many products used here, including my own AlphaBetZ, Day Notices, WordZ, Journal BlockZ, and more BlockZ

It is amazing to look back on some of these photos.  My nephew is 19  now, so Dad looks really young! ;)  He is a great man, always has time for us and takes amazing care of us all.  He's got the biggest heart and I love him to death.

Enjoy!

Good morning all!  It seems like it takes longer for it to look like morning time out there! I've been so very busy in the studio these past few weeks! I just put up yesterday my largest CollectionZ yet, you can check it out here: Fabulous Fall Traditional and Fabulous Fall Digital.

I also want to give a shout - out to Layout a Day.  They are a super - great team to work with & I love what they are doing over there, go check them out & get inspired!

Well, I'm off to get the little hooligans off to school but I want to say stay tuned for more new stuff!  I'm going to do a couple of personal pages so I get my own stories told, and then it will be back to playing!

Until next time, happy scrapping!

So many updates for the shop.  Let me tell you, these things just keep getting cuter & cuter!  Go check them out, they are super-reasonable prices too!  Many of the IconZ now (especially in the Halloween CollectionZ) and the DotZ, are on high-gloss self-adhesive paper.  It makes the colors so much more rich, and the product just that much easier to use!  If you have any snapshots of your projects using BZ Designs/BenzillaScrapping products, be sure to email them in to me so we can show them off!  Thanks so much!

New Year - already?!

Can you believe it is already 2013?  Seems like just yesterday we were heralding in 2000!  I’ve ever continuing on making new product, and have a lot of it printed out & ready to be put up at the store, but have been taking a bit of a break to work on some mixed media.  Well, and I was working on Christmas gifts too.  Those I will also get around to sharing.  I’m really excited about the canvas I’m working on right now, and have considered selling copies, if anyone is interested.  Here’s another sneak-peak of what I’ve been up to….

Now, isn’t that absolutely adorable?!?!  Thanks so much & hope to see you around soon!
