How about a Download-A-Day challenge?

You know you love 'em...you know you collect 'em...how about actually [gasp!] using 'em? To get you on the right track I'm challenging you to do a layout using pieces from a DLAD (download a day) kit from Divine Digital! The featured designers for March are Colleen Lynch and Misty Maier. The kit is called Whimsy and you can get to the forum here. Here's a preview of the first day's download.



Okay, I know you want to know what you get for completing the challenge, right? How about a brand new kit? Woo hoo! Well, not the whole kit...not right away anyway...you're gonna have to work for it!

The first thing you have to do is sign up in Divine Digital's forum - it's free. Then go to the March 2007 DLAD link. Bookmark the page so you remember to visit every day!

Next, create a LO using the DLAD and post it in your favorite gallery. Yes, you can use images from other kits, but try to use the DLADs as much as possible. Finally, send me a link [catrionamag @ gmail.com] and I'll send you part of my new kit!

Every week during the month of March there will be another piece of the kit up for grabs - for a total of four. Don't worry, if you miss a part it will go on sale in my shop at DSO on 1 April - No Foolin! [spoiler alert!]

Here's the posting dates:

• 1-9 Mar - part 1 (I added an extra couple of days to gather your first downloads!)
• 10-16 Mar - part 2
• 17-23 Mar - part 3
• 24-30 Mar - part 4
• 31 Mar - catch up day! If you missed a piece of the participation kit this is the day to post a last minute LO and let me know which ONE you need. You only get to pick one piece, so plan accordingly!

Now, I suppose you want a preview of the first part of the kit? Well, since it's still in production...how about a colorchip to tease you with?

My Celebrity Look-a-Likes!

This is a fun website to play with, especially for those doing layouts for a "Book of Me." Go get a nice full face portrait of yourself in a .jpg format. If it has a neutral background you'll get more matches. My original had a dark one that only gave me 5 matches. When I replaced it with a white background I got 10. Then follow the directions to upload it and see who you match!

Here's mine...



To go to the website and find your look-a-likes, just click on the picture above. I actually matched more people but you get to choose your favorites for the collage. Thank goodness, too...I really don't think I resemble Neil Diamond at all! LOL!

Thanks to Ruby Q's blog for this idea...it was fun!

Shed a little light on it!

Got a "bright" idea for a layout? I have a fun freebie for you. This little 2" tall transparent light bulb is perfect for those "Aha!" moments of your own or even to illustrate that funny old joke about how many [insert your favorite group here] it takes to change a light bulb! Get it here.

If you use it on a project, send me a note. I'd love to see what you do with it.
