Zooming right onto my blog porch to deliver the news!
The September edition of the Digishoptalk newsletter is out! My friend Kel, who is the newest editor-in-chief of the newsletter, came out with a super-fabulous issue of Firsts! I love the look of the newsletter, love the editorial piece of Kel, love the theme, love the inside look at designers’ first kits redone… in fact, I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a DST newsletter as much as I have this one! AWESOME job, kel!
Oh, and here’s a little whispered tidbit: I have a little article there too, if you’re interested in reading it. 
The newsletter is free, but you have to be registered at DST (also free)… if you are one of the few who aren’t yet registered, go run and get yourself counted among the minions!
Here’s a screenshot of the first page of my … uh, rather lengthy but (I hope 
) inspiration-filled… article on Recording Firsts:
DigiShopTalk September Newsletter: First Love Article
And with great apologies for putting this up here a bit late (was totally consumed by working on the Type+Writer course, so my memory bank went pffft for a little while), here’s the freebie with items I created especially for layout that I made for the DST article:
LivEdesigns First Love - DST September Newsletter Freebie
Click on the image to download.
Thank you for the love you leave in my blog as you download! I love reading your comments, and am always grateful that you take the time to leave some warm fuzzies.
One little thing I wanted to point out: please note that the papers in the preview are not included in the freebie download (because in the article I had written that I would release as freebies some of the stuff that I created in making my layout that appeared in the newsletter, and I did not use these papers on my layout). BUT I will be putting these papers–and MORE– as free downloads within the next day or two, so if you want them, be sure to come back and grab them! 
All right, my workload is calling my name once again, so it’s back to the saltmines for me! I hope to see you soon again!
Huge hugs to you, my sweeties!
Thanks so much for the freebie. Looking forward to reading the article!
Thanks Liv – I love the freebie.
Looking forward to your Type + Writer class – counting the days!!
Wow–you’ve been a busy girl–getting ready for class, updating your blog and now this awesome freebie! Thank you for all you do! It is appreciated. See you in class on Monday! I can’t wait!
Thank you for the overlays. I can’t wait to use them!
Thanks, Liv! You know I love your work! Can’t wait for Type+Writer to start on Monday… I wasn’t planning on signing up (not a very good writer), but decided to join at the last minute.
PS. Love the new blog look!
Thank you so much for this lovely freebie. This inspires me to get to work on recording some “firsts”. Much appreciated.
These are fabulous, thanks so much for sharing them!
Wonderful, Liv!! I’m SUPER excited for your class to start, too! I’ve already done some of my pre-work!!
Thanks for the great overlays and stamps. I haven’t had a chance to read my newsletter yet (something about searching out a bunch of pictures and other prework for some class I am taking next week!) but I have my newsletter downloaded and I am going to get to it today. You’re awesome, as always!
Thank you so much!
Awesome! I can’t wait to play with the overlays! On first reading, I thought you said, back to the *saltines* ….and was wondering what kind of work that involved!
Wow! you have been busy! Thanks for the wonderful overlays. Hope your class goes great. I’ll take it eventually, but there’s too much on my plate right now.
Thanks Liv these are awesome. Can’t wait till Monday for Type + Writer class.
DEEEEELightful little Freebie, Liv! I love the overlays! One of these days, you’ll have to teach me even just a little of how you do it!
Can’t wait to read your article. I’m saving it for the plane ride to Mexico!
Great article! I loved it! Thanks for the freebies!
Thanks for the freebie, they are gorgeous, TFS!
psstt…gonna add you to my Google Reader, I think you are a great inspiration and so I can keep up with you
I love the freebie, Liv, and the article was great. Not too long at all.
Looking really forward to Monday for the Typewriter class. I feel really lucky to be able to take this class from you. Oh, the opportunities we’ve been given by Jessica.
See you Monday!

thanks for sharing this, it’s great!
thank you so much!!!!!!!
I cracked up when I read Heather’s “saltine” comment, especially since I was already puzzling over what you meant to say when you wrote “go run and get yourself counted among the minions,” (a contemptuous term,) since I KNOW it was not your intention to insult us, lol! Millions? Mignons, perhaps?
Thank you so much for the great stamps and overlays!
Just a little SHOUT out…to say thanks for this awesome share!! I gave you some..♥"Link Love"♥..here if you want to check it out. I gotta tell ya…I love showing off your stuff! Stay the sweetest…I’ll be stalking you!! hee,hee:)

@ RoseAddict –
Thanks for knowing that I certainly didn’t mean to insult anyone… and thanks for the correction! Thankfully, one of the definitions of minion is “one who is highly esteemed or favored; a darling” (see http://www.thefreedictionary.com/minion), although I do realize that by common usage, it has taken on a pejorative connotation. (yelp! sorry about that!) So I truly appreciate that you know that I love ya!
Your FIRSTS article is great! At first I thought it was going to be the same as other similar articles and lists of firsts I’ve read, but you suggested some new creative ideas. You’ve inspired me, and I’m keeping the article. Thanks!
Thank you very much !
How cool is this Liv?!!!! TFS your talents & gifts with us. Can’t wait to start the class! Have a great weekend!
(((HUGS)))
You are such a sweetie! Thanks so much for all your work, I can’t wait to see what Monday will bring!
Liv, I was doing my Saturday morning blog hoppin’ and landed on these beautiful creations. Thank you, thank you, my friend, for sharing your talent so generously! And LOVE the blog makeover!!
Thanks for the goodies!
These look so fun can’t wait to use them. THANKS!
