Well...It's Official!


Exciting News! As of today, I am officially a designer! YAY!!!! Someone was smart enough to recognize raw talent! lol As of right now, I have 5 products available and they are all on sale! Be sure to go grab them before they go full price. I have 2 full kits, an add on pack, and a gradient kit in both PS and PSP versions. Yesterday I created 2 more gradient packs which will go in the March collaboration kit. So be on the lookout for those.
I thought this weekend I might start on the word art kit, or maybe do another full kit. And I was hoping to get a freebie gradient pack up here....that is if anyone would want them....lol I love gradients! You can NEVER have too many gradients!
And be sure to Go by and see my stuff at Bits 2 Kits! You can click the blue blinkie on the left. Check me! Check me! Check me! I AM A DESIGNER! Wooooo Hooooooo!
Oh and be on the lookout for an upcoming announcement. There could be a very exciting opportunity coming your way! And that's ALL I am gonna say about that right now!

Hello Everyone! I hope that you have had a great holiday weekend. I spent the weekend with my parents who live in East Texas. Of course, I went through PSP withdrawl! lol But, now that I am back home again, I can start thinking about designing that next kit, applying to another designer call, and wondering when someone is going to recognize raw talent and Pick Me! lol


I have created another kit which I entitled Venetian Inspiration. I have taken 4 papers and 4 elements from that to create a free mini kit just for you! I hope that if you like it, you will do 2 things for me. One...please tell your friends about my blog. And two, please leave me some love! You can do that by scrolling to the bottom of this post and leaving a comment.


I have also been told that I need to create blinkies. So, my first attempt failed miserably. lol Anyway, I am going to be working on a couple for the remainder of the evening. Hopefully, by the end of the night I will have a couple of blinkies to share with you. I hope that you will snag one or two of them and add them to your signatures in your emails, and group posts. And especially when posting creations using my designs! I hope that you will all be fans of Chelle's Creations! lol


Please feel free to snag my mini kit. I have included my TOU. I think it's pretty fair, especially with respect to crediting, so please be sure to read it. Get my Venetian Interlude kit here.

The Journey Begins...


Well, alot has happened now since my last post...yesterday! lol I couldn't wait to let you know. I have been applying to stores to become a designer. I have been sending previews in and am still waiting to hear from 2 stores. One store, said no thank you. lol There are two I haven't heard back from but the calls may be still open so I am not going to panic. Besides, they would tell me one way or another, wouldn't they?


So, I will just continue to apply and hopefully someone will recognize raw talent..lol. I know I have a lot to learn, but I figure, when you want it bad enough, you will do whatever it takes to do the best for the store you can! And that's me! So, pick me! Pick me! lol

2008: New Year, New Adventures



Hi Y'all! Welcome to my blog. Seems I am doing a lot of new things this year. With the new year comes new ideas, new friends, new projects. Only 14 days into the new year and already I am well on my way to accomplishing those things.

Many of you know that I have been a tutorial writer for sig tag makers for 3 years now. You can find them at PSP-4-Me . I have learned how to make my own resources during that time, and now it's time to try something new. I thought I would try my hand at scrap kit making. Which is, in and of itself, a bit scary and intimidating. I have had a kit made now for 6 months...and have been too afraid to show it to anyone. What if it stinks? What if its not well received? What if its wrong? Well, I have now overcome my fears and decided to show it to a few stores.

Yup, I took a giant leap and jumped in! I applied at a few stores that posted a Design Team call. And now I am waiting...wondering if anyone will like my stuff well enough to take me on! I REALLY hope so! I would love to be a kit designer!

Always my worst critic...I am totally nervous. I like them...but then, I am biased..lol! I wonder what the store owners are thinking?
