To question and awards

The last week it has been raining stuff my way.

Chas gave me an questionair :
1.How long have you been using PSP?
I've played with psp for the first time 8 years ago, but didn't get the hang of it until 4 years ago.
2. How did you get into making tags, scrapkits?
Joined many (dutch) forums to learn everything, but i rarely touch psp nowadays i just adore using photoshop.
3. Who`s your fave artist?
I love Woolcott, but it all depends in what mood i am, there are many good artist out there, even manny FTU artist.
4.Who`s your favourite Scrap Designer?
I still look up to Lisa she always tries to make something different and really has an own style. Melissa is just adoring she makes everything 'by hand'.
5. Which three blogs do you visit everyday?
That's hard to anwser since i don't do that, except my own blog that is.
Im Passing On The Questionare To: Farrah , Angela and Melissa



I recieved this aswell today, thankyou so much Kirsty.


This award is called the "ProximidadeAward" or "Friendship Around The World Award". Originally this award was written in spanish, but it translates to highlight blogs that are pleasing or special in some way, and also to extend the hand of friendship around the world.
And now I have to pass this award on to 8 blogs.

My choices are: Chas , Sabre , Vix , Nani , Farrah , Bon scrapatit , Ambowwife , Karin



And the 'i love you're blog' award came this time from Karin.
I really did receive this one about 8 times, so i'm not going to bother anyone with it anymore.

Free large kits

Since the winners have been announced at Stone Accents Studio, i have decided that 2 of the 4 kits will remain free, the free ones will be the Army honor kit and the Remembrance kit since Chas has writen an tutorial with it, it wouldn't seem fair to delete this one.
The other 2 will go to my store at DS, but i'm not sure if they are going to be free or that i will ask a small price for them.

So in short the Fancy and the Child's play are no longer available for download except the add-ons, they will come back at the store but that will take a little while until i have changed a little.

If you have any suggestions what so ever please do mail me, but my mind has made up considering these 2 kits.

Congratulations to Monica, Piggy scraps and Mitsybelle for becoming a sassy designer.

Before i forget i was rewarded a Award again, since i did this a couple of times with the same award i won't do it this time, but i want to thank Chas for giving me this award.
Muchos gracias hunnie!
