Just A Little Longer....
and Kenner Road goes live. Was just strolling the aisles of the "marketplace" and am drooling over the delicious vintage tidbits that will be available. Also, I know some of you were asking about the pre-sale kits that had sold out...the answer is "yes", if you missed out on the pre-sale you *will* be able to purchase those same kits/add-on kits...provided they don't sell out, AGAIN! :)
One last little sneak of a project:
And a sneak of a simple layout about my childhood memories....the theme may not be what any of you are probably expecting to see but, alas, it is the memory.
Don't you love that 70's gear and decor??? :D

Change Of Plans & Another Sneak Peek....
Another sneaky peek of the goodness to be available at Kenner Road...but here's the really good part! The site will go live TOMORROW rather than Monday! Woo hoo!!!! The response has been so overwhelming that the site will be going live a day early!
Sandwiched into the sneak you get a glimpse of good things to come in your Kenner Road subscription kit...goodness like: Jenni Bowlin, Scenic Route, Sassafras Lass & some leftover lace I had laying around.
Amy put together this Flickr mosaic which was inspired by the kit and add-on kit at KR.
1. green ones are hard to find, 2. a little rust, 3. Red Yellow Flowers, 4. My new toy, 5. Yellow / Decay de Cai (II), 6. bingo numbers, 7. TV room, 8. Was his name, 9. Old Ledger
Dina was inspired to put together this mosaic:
1. Poppy Red China, 2. vintage trees, 3. General Ledger 1919, 4. Vintage German Transportation Ticket, 5. Roses and a green fence, 6. TtV, 7. Craftsmanship, 8. Vintage Beads, 9. Green Miniature Rose
Keep the memory lane stories/photos coming, they are all so interesting and inspiring! Such a great way to get to know people.

Sneak Peeks & A Giveaway....
Just a little sneak peek of a project I made using the September '08 "Vintage Revival" Add-On project kit from soon to be unveiled Kenner Road.
In celebration of the Kenner Road grand opening on September 15th I'll be giving away this sweet Scenic Route designer collection kit. The "Laurel Kit" contains 15 double-sided papers, 3 single-sided kraft papers and 2 sticker packs.
It's a piece of cake to win. All you need to do to get in the running is to blog about the street you grew up on or blog post a photo of a vintage item in your home, a baby pic or family heirloom. Your post must say you "want to win a prize from Kenner Road". Be sure to link me up here in the comments section or e-mail me a link to your blog entry. There will be other giveaways today and throughout the weekend on the blogs of my Kenner Road teammates: Ker, Gigi, Ames, Dina.
Some of you may know that the pre-sale subscriptions for Kenner Road had sold out back in August but, come this Monday, you'll be able to get in on the action if you missed out on the pre-sale. Can't wait until Monday when we can all browse and buy vintage inspired scrapbook kits, ephmera & digital elements.
Here's to Celeste Smith for snagging the first Guest Designer spot at Kenner Road. For those of you that know Celeste she clearly needs no introduction....and for those of you that think you don't know her but read scrapping magazines, well, then you already are familiar with her and her killer work. Celeste is a scrapping powerhouse who can blast out the layouts like nobody's business! Creative, quick, and funny as can be...I just love this girl!
Just a few sneaks of Celeste's Kenner Road projects for September:

All The Rage......
for me at least. That's what I think of The Airborne Toxic Event. Here's the acoustic version of the single, "Sometime Around Midnight", it's good but I love the non-acoustic even more...I can not get enough of this song...just ask KL and Ames, they must have heard me play this song like 20 times in the hotel room! For good measure the non-acoustic version was added to my playlist on the lower left tool bar.
This song has me so wrapped up it inspired me to make this layout on Sunday...
With a little luck I might make it over to the Mercury Lounge as I just discovered they are playing Thursday night!

What A Week.....
as many of you know things move fast in my little world. This week I had some serious PC issues, signed and returned my SIStv contract, planned a last minute trip to Chitown to spend a day with some amazing friends, left my day job. Being back from my trip, caught up on rest, I have just posted the 3rd installment of tutorials for SIStv's theme for the month of April, digi/hybrid minialbums. You can check it out here.
Happy creating. :)
