I used to do a lot of work in the digital world of scrapbooking and about two years ago I realized that I needed to take a break, scale back and find myself underneath the chaos I had created!! I have decided that in order to be truly happy I had to let go of digital designing (which I honestly wasn't that great at anyway), my inspiration website which I hated to let go but I would rather be happy and maybe one day I'll take a look at bringing it back and I needed to focus just on scrapbooking itself!! I am so much happier doing just that!!&lt;div&gt;Upon my return to the digi world, I find myself creating for four WONDERFUL CT spots!! Since I first began my digital adventures years ago, I created for Misty Mareda. She's not only an amazing designer but a good friend and I'm so happy to be working with her products again!! I love her and would recommend her to anyone looking for inspriation!! You can find her products in &lt;a href="http://www.mscraps.com/shop/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=14"&gt;her shoppe at MScraps&lt;/a&gt;! Here is my favorite recent kit of hers called &lt;a href="http://www.mscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=1794&amp;amp;cat=0&amp;amp;page=1"&gt;Missing You&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LU-VVR7pRGI/TT4VgNtFIiI/AAAAAAAAADE/ohuzU2VjRqg/s320/xctmpJmk5JK_t_600.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565909832655249954" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was then asked to be on an awesome CT for &lt;a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&amp;amp;manufacturers_id=92"&gt;Sanko Studio of My Life and Scrap&lt;/a&gt;!! Manda is awesome and I can't wait to get to know her better!! She has some amazing templates and I have had so much fun working with them!! I have especially loved working with her new template set called &lt;a href="http://mylifeandscrap.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=4_249&amp;amp;products_id=2823"&gt;Journaling Templates V2&lt;/a&gt;!!

I am doing some work for &lt;a href="http://www.polkadotplum.com/shoppe/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=25"&gt;Sweet Tomato Designs&lt;/a&gt; which you can find at Polka Dot Plum. She seems to be super sweet and her team seems like they all get along well which is always really important to me!! I like a close knit group of people so that I get to make new friends!! I was also asked to be a Sugar Plum and create for all the AMAZING designers at &lt;a href="http://www.polkadotplum.com"&gt;Polka Dot Plum&lt;/a&gt;!! I can't tell you how excited I am about that because I have known Lauren and Amy since before they started the site and it has grown into such an incredible place! The challenges there are great and so inspiring so if you haven't stopped by to check out &lt;a href="http://www.polkadotplum.com"&gt;Polka Dot Plum&lt;/a&gt; lately you REALLY need to!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I will have more coming from those last two as soon as I get some work in for them!! I can't wait to start sharing my digital experiences with you again and maybe I'll get the urge to create little freebies along the way so please stop in when you have time!!  :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12514157-3459888460877526039?l=andreacox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andreacox.blogspot.com/feeds/3459888460877526039/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12514157&amp;postID=3459888460877526039' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12514157/posts/default/3459888460877526039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12514157/posts/default/3459888460877526039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andreacox.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-first-post-on-my-new-blog.html' title='My First Post on My &quot;New&quot; Blog...'/><author><name>Andrea Cox</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18115973078769797384</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LU-VVR7pRGI/Se_nwp8nLBI/AAAAAAAAACU/ePrarzyIaRI/S220/avatar150.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LU-VVR7pRGI/TT4VgNtFIiI/AAAAAAAAADE/ohuzU2VjRqg/s72-c/xctmpJmk5JK_t_600.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
