This year has been a roller coaster and I'm not done with all the rides yet but the hills are getting smaller and the curves aren't as sharp. Let's just keep it that way! Hopefully I can resume making great products for my store and to give as freebies on a more consistent basis. There will still be gaps of time where I may fall off the earth - we are currently in the process of selling our home and are getting ready to build a new one. Both very exciting but time consuming projects. My plan is to keep designing as a way to hold on to my sanity and give me some "me time". So here's a small freebie that I know is a little late for the holiday (but better late than never!)<br />Also, in honor of National Digital Scrapbooking Day, I have a 50% off coupon for my store. Just use NSD09 at check out!<br />Thanks for stopping by and visiting me again!<br />Chiara<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SvMx0AdcHBI/AAAAAAAAAIo/Sj5Wb9nJPjs/s1600-h/cds_hw09_preview.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SvMx0AdcHBI/AAAAAAAAAIo/Sj5Wb9nJPjs/s320/cds_hw09_preview.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400715147693792274" border="0" /></a>Download it in my store here:<br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://67.20.65.186/creativedigitalscraps/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=2&task=viewcategory&catid=7" com="" file="" 146992420="" 912dbeff="" html="" target="">Halloween 09 Sampler</a><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/146992420/912dbeff/cds_hw09sampler.html" target="_blank">.</a>Chiarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17731773883612398457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346773315475505000.post-24374021144430795382009-03-08T22:25:00.002-04:002009-03-09T16:10:25.300-04:00My grandfather<div><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that my grandfather, John DiChiara, passed away Saturday afternoon.

I'm continuing my series of commercial use overlays with another set of 6. I got such a great response on the set from last week - I really appreciate all the sweet comments (and well wishes for my granddad).<br />I also need to apologize because I know I've received very thoughtful messages that people have linked to my blog and I've even received a blog award. I'm sorry I haven't acknowledged these kind gestures I will try to remedy that as soon as I can.<br />My mom had to take my granddad back to the hospital yesterday. He now has pneumonia and his oncologist has said his body is too weak and sick to try to administer chemo. At this point it's time to call in Hospice care. I'm not sure when he'll get to come home. I imagine the next few weeks will be hard on us all.<br />I'm going to set-up my post for next week to be automatic so you will have links to next weeks freebies in case I'm not available to post.<br />Until next time...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SZrOL6OpixI/AAAAAAAAAIM/o4DMZ8bugk0/s1600-h/cds_grungeme_preview2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SZrOL6OpixI/AAAAAAAAAIM/o4DMZ8bugk0/s320/cds_grungeme_preview2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303778215186762514" border="0" /></a><br />Grab it in the freebie section of the store: <a href="http://digitalscrapmall.com/creativedigitalscraps/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=2&task=view.download&cid=17">here</a><br />Don't forget coupon LoveMe for 25% off your purchase!<br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/88116423/ce91e98a/cds_grungeme2.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 255);">.</span></a>Chiarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17731773883612398457noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346773315475505000.post-88054029066640749182009-02-11T21:08:00.006-05:002009-02-12T06:16:41.125-05:00This week's FreebieI'm back with another little freebie for you. This month I'm going to do a series of overlays - everyone can always use those! At least I know I can and do. It seems like I always have my favorites that I go back to over an over again. Hopefully you'll find these a good addition to your stash. Also, I usually don't do this but they are for <span style="font-weight: bold;">commercial use </span>as well. No credit required. Make sure you grab them all before the 30 days is out because then they'll move into the dollar bin.<br />Also, in honor of all the love floating around - here's a 25% off coupon for the store. Use code <span style="font-weight: bold;">LoveMe</span> to get your discount. It will be good until the end of the month.<br />On a personal note, I've been staying with my granddad more and more lately. He's really deteriorated in the last couple of weeks. He's very weak and can barely get up to leave the couch out of necessity. He goes back to the oncologist next week to talk about whether he should attempt chemo or not after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure 2 weeks ago. It just seems like everything in his body is starting to break down all at the same time. It's so hard to see such a drastic change just since the holidays. Thanks again for all the kind words and prayers being said on our family's behalf.<br />Hopefully, I'll be checking in again next week with another set of overlays. Till then...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SZOGu2CCouI/AAAAAAAAAH8/E7IIHKnJA7g/s1600-h/cds_grungeme_preview1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SZOGu2CCouI/AAAAAAAAAH8/E7IIHKnJA7g/s320/cds_grungeme_preview1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301729325681386210" border="0" /></a><br />Go <a href="http://digitalscrapmall.com/creativedigitalscraps/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=2&task=view.download&cid=15">HERE</a> for your download.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/87290743/ff4ae60f/cds-grungeme1.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 255);">.</span></a>Chiarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17731773883612398457noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346773315475505000.post-55406808460710774822009-02-01T00:01:00.000-05:002009-02-01T00:01:01.175-05:00Februay FreebieI'm writing this on Wednesday so I can be sure that it's up for you on February 1st. We have been hit with that nasty ice and snow storm that hit a good part of the US yesterday and today. You don't think of ice as being destructive but this has been awful. My mom has a power line down across her driveway and the one to her house is down and tangled in some tree branches that have fallen from the weight of the ice. She also has an oak tree in her backyard that it easily over 100 years old and one of the tree sized branches fell from it and took out her fence. She doesn't need all this stress on top of everything going on with my granddad. <br />Right now I'm just thankful that we have power and heat (75,000 homes in our area out out of power because of the ice and trees breaking the lines). My boys are outside right now enjoying the day off from school and playing in our piles of snow.<br />I hope where you are is safe and comfortable - hug your family!<br />Here's this month's ADSD collab. I was surprised how quickly this one came together for me but I was happy with it. I hope you like it too. I'll keep it up on the blog for the month of February and then it will head to the dollar bin in the store on March 1 along with the Rosebud kit. <br />Here's my preview and the 4shared links and hen make sure you catch the rest of the pieces with the list below:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SYCtxl6lNfI/AAAAAAAAAH0/RZTdn9iQyN0/s1600-h/cds_choccherry_preview.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SYCtxl6lNfI/AAAAAAAAAH0/RZTdn9iQyN0/s320/cds_choccherry_preview.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296424229290718706" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.4shared.com/file/82471045/908b4001/cds_choccherry.html">Elements</a><br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.4shared.com/file/82471056/109920fa/cds_choccherry_patterns.html">Patterns</a><br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.4shared.com/file/82471052/17f4e4e3/cds_choccherry_solids.html">Solids</a><br /><br />Don't forget these other great designers' contributions:<br /><span class="postbody">Mags -

I think this download has all the elements in it. You can grab it in my freebies section of my store <a href="http://digitalscrapmall.com/creativedigitalscraps/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=2&task=viewcategory&catid=2">here.</a><br />Next week, I'm back on the blog train with the ADSD group. We've put together a great collab called Chocolate Cherry. It will be great for your lovey-dovey stuff. I also tried to make mine with plenty of generic patterns and pieces so it would be pretty versatile. So be sure to check back on Feb 1st.<br />I'm sitting with my granddad most days now until my boys get home from school. It's hard because it leaves a gap of time that he's alone until my mom gets off from work. It's the best we can come up with right now. He starts chemo this Wednesday and we're hoping it goes ok for him. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SXzVkxRPZyI/AAAAAAAAAHs/VoMWYulkUYM/s1600-h/cds_rosebud_preview.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SXzVkxRPZyI/AAAAAAAAAHs/VoMWYulkUYM/s320/cds_rosebud_preview.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295342089558517538" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/82468137/706ebbe7/cds_rosebud_pt3.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 255);">dl</span></a>Chiarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17731773883612398457noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346773315475505000.post-25970807990222159662009-01-19T07:32:00.006-05:002009-01-19T08:06:52.464-05:00Rosebud Freebie part2Here's the next installment of the Rosebud kit.

I hope everyone is staying warm - the weather has just been bitter lately. And we haven't had it as bad as some! I'll be enjoying the MLK holiday today with my boys today snuggled up on the couch watching movies and staying toasty!<br />Also, thank you for the sweet thoughts and prayers about my granddad. They have been comforting to read. We found out last Friday that he has Stage 4 lung cancer. The doctor isn't sure he could tolerate chemo and that it only has a 50% chance of slowing the tumor growth. It's his decision on whether he wants to try chemo or not. Needless to say, it's been an emotional few days for the family with lots to think and worry about.<br />Until next week...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SXR2e1KX3qI/AAAAAAAAAHk/ntq_qbXo1XQ/s1600-h/cds_rosebud_preview.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

You can download them from either of the links below.<br />Also, this will probably be my last post for the remainder of the year. My 87 yr old grandfather has been having some health issues and we are currently waiting on a diagnosis to see if he has lung cancer. He was like a dad to me in my younger years while my parents were going through their divorce. I spent many a day in the garage with him tinkering around on his various projects. With the holidays and the desire to do all I can for him and my mom, designing will be on hold for a couple of weeks. Thanks for understanding and hopefully I'll be back with great news and new freebies in the new year!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/75202750/96fe2f8b/cds_placecard.html" target="_blank">4 shared link</a><br />or<br /><a href="http://digitalscrapmall.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=79" target="blank">Digital Scrap Mall</a>Chiarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17731773883612398457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346773315475505000.post-22999620170880705482008-12-09T11:51:00.004-05:002008-12-09T11:55:10.088-05:00New in the stores this month<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/ST6ik37z35I/AAAAAAAAAHE/i9VVNonHY0M/s1600-h/cds_jollyholly_preview.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277834567698603922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/ST6ik37z35I/AAAAAAAAAHE/i9VVNonHY0M/s400/cds_jollyholly_preview.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/ST6iZLwbE1I/AAAAAAAAAG8/uukvmqrVU3E/s1600-h/cds_jollyholly_prev.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/ST6iY0KOaII/AAAAAAAAAG0/ZObmF232Bqc/s1600-h/cds_coloreddenim_preview.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277834360526891138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/ST6iY0KOaII/AAAAAAAAAG0/ZObmF232Bqc/s400/cds_coloreddenim_preview.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here are my two new items in the stores for December.

No matter how hard I worked to make time for designing I kept getting derailed.

Just a Treat for you!<div align="left">Here's a quick freebie that I whipped up this morning - 6 grungy papers and 2 ribbons with glittered polka dots.

Week's FreebieWell, this week has been much better than last. Things are much more quiet and dare I say, almost back to normal. Though what is normal these days?<br />Anyway, I have another set of grungy boy shirts for you. Though they are perfect for boy pages, they really could be used for anything. Let your imagination go and put them to good use!<br />Next week will be the release of the next ADSD Group monthly collaboration kit. The theme is Sugar Shoppe and the colors are very bright and fun. So make sure you stop back by next week and get my part and hop on the train for all the other great designers too!<br />Here's this week's freebie - you can find the link below.<br /><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SNpNjBgOXOI/AAAAAAAAAE8/vbRfVDXs7Hg/s1600-h/cds_boyshirts2_preview.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249593579748089058" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SNpNjBgOXOI/AAAAAAAAAE8/vbRfVDXs7Hg/s400/cds_boyshirts2_preview.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/64272319/54ba2dcd/cds_boyshirts2.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">DOWNLOAD</span></a><span style="color:#ff0000;"> </span></p>Chiarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17731773883612398457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346773315475505000.post-52479400222508878102008-09-16T20:34:00.004-04:002008-09-24T10:29:13.967-04:00*It Happens"Ain't no rhyme or reason<br />No complicated meanin'<br />Ain't no need to over-think it<br />Let go laughin'<br />Life don't go quite like you planned it<br />We try so hard to understand it<br />Irrefutable, indisputable fact is<br />'It' happens"<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">lyrics by Sugarland</span><br /><br /><br />It's been one crazy week around here and I apologize for not having a freebie out earlier. I've been trying to be a good daughter and step-daughter lately for my dad who recently had shoulder surgery and to his wife, who's father is trying to recover from major surgery complications. That hasn't been too bad but now we've had the remnants of Hurricane Ike come through and most of our area had major wind damage and massive power outages. We're one of the fortunate ones who only lost power for about 24 hours and had some roof damage. I've had to throw out everything in my fridge and freezer but many places in our area may be without power for up to 2 weeks. All the schools are closed for the week too so I've got 2 cooped up boys at home. It's been crazy but it makes you count your blessings. This is nothing to what people in Texas and the gulf are dealing with currently.<br /><br />Anyway, enough grumbling. I have a small freebie for you this evening. It's a 10-paper pack that was inspired by my boys shirts hanging in their closets. I have enough "inspiration" that you'll probably see a couple more sets of these. Their simple and gungy so you can use them for all sorts of things. Hope you can use these - the link is at the bottom! Enjoy!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246785032358118402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_clJASIKgdYQ/SNBTMDKKxAI/AAAAAAAAAE0/aVUi3XPrvbw/s400/cds_boyshirts1_preview.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/63285584/2564076d/cds_boyshirts1.html" target="_blank">Download</a>Chiarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17731773883612398457noreply@blogger.com2
